How do i make a song i purchased from itunes a ringtone?

ok so i just purchased thriller.. it had the bell icon by it, but then i cant figure out how to make it a ringtone now..
it keeps telling me to purchase it again after i edit it to the ringtone i want.
so does this mean i have to purchase it twice?

Yes it is a 2 part purchase
Part 1: You buy the full version
Part 2: You Edit the song to a ringtone that you like, and then purchase that ringtone.
You then own that ringtone and that full song, If at anytime you decide you do not like the ringtone you can always edit the full version of the song again and purchase another ringtone.
Once you bought it it goes to the Ringtone area of iTunes, To later be an option to Sync to iPhone

TS1567 I have an old ipod nano. How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod?

How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod nano...I believe it is a 2nd generation? I plug it into my computer, but nothing happens!!!

Hello shay82578,
It sounds like you are trying to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano. I found some articles with steps to sync music to your iPod:
If you are using iTunes 11, you will want to follow the steps in this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, you can follow the steps in this article:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
To be able to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano, the music will need to be on the computer rather than streaming from iTunes in the Cloud. You can find the steps to download your purchased music to your computer's hard drive under the section titled, "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

How can I modify a song I purchased from Itunes?

I'm trying to alter a song I purchased from the Itunes store. Is there a way to shorten or cut out parts of a song? What software would I need to do this? I've downloaded Jasmine and Audacity, but can't seem to get it to work.
Dick Skover

Thanks Michael,
I did what you suggested and everything worked well. I was able to shorten the song in Jasmine, but once saved, I wasn't able to bring it into my slideshow in Imovie. I believe it was saved as an AIFF file after I shortened it. Any ideas as to why I can't import or open it?

I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes in my video using Windows Movie Maker. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes, from my library if you will, in my video (slideshow) using Windows Movie Maker.
Does anyone know if that is possible to do? If so, would you please tell me how to do that?

Hello, a1p2r3.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple options available to you to transfer purchased media to your computer. Below, I have included a couple articles that outline this process.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod to the iTunes library.

How do i make a song I purchased my ringtone

This how to make ring tones for your iPhone:
Choose the desire song from you library
Do secondary click to your song (right click for PC)
Click "Get Info"
Go to Options tab
Set Start Time and Stop Time, some iOS only allowed 30 sec length for one ringtones, then click OK
Do secondary click (right click for PC) to your selected song
Clik "Create AAC Version", new song from your selected will added to your library (short one)
Do secondary click (right click for PC) to your short one (new song)
Click "Show in Finder"
Rename file *.m4a to *.m4r, click "use *.m4r"
Drag the file to library, for the first time it would automatically add your library with new folder "Tones" under Apps folder
Open the ring tones in the Tones folder of your library than drag it to your iPhone. And your iPhone also would be automatically added "Tones" folder.
Last but not least, set the ring tone in your iPhone under the "Setting-Sound"

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Thanks Roaminggnome,
I just spoke with a friend who like you is into Apple and he just walked me through the Cloud. At least I was able to get those songs back.
Thanks.
Do you know --- the last time I tried to back up my itunes it asked for 106 cd's do you how to direct the backup to the external drive? By the way I found 3 back up cds from 2010 and 1 of the 3 cd's had an error.

I just bought a new 4S. How can I get a song I bought from iTunes into my ringtone folder ?

I just bought a new 4S. How can I get a song I bought from iTunes into my Iphone Settings ringtone folder ?

If you bought it, it will stay in your Purchased folder in iTunes. If it's a song it won't play as a ringtone (they're different), although you can create a ringtone from it (Google "create ringtone in iTunes").

I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone.

I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone. i have tried the following:
1) Removing all music from phone and resynced to iTunes PC library.
2) Erased phone and restored from back up
3) Erased phone and started as a new iPhone
4) Reformated the music files in my library that weren't playing
5) Deleted songs from iPhone and computer and re-imported CDs
6) Tried to redownload my COMPLETE MUSIC LIBRARY from iCloud.
7) I have also turned it off and turned it back on several times
8) I tried syncing through my macbook (only moved partial songs to it to see if it would even work).
9) I have tried to get Siri to play them, did not work.
10) All music does play fine on my iPod Touch 3rd (iOS6 i think) gen and iTunes on Mac and PC
11) I added a CD to my roommates iTunes and it plays on their iPhone 5S but not mine.
After all of these things it is now WORSE!!! My iTunes purchased songs are now experiencing the same issue along with some (not all) of the original music files that were skipping and grayed out. My conclusion is i have no clue at this point! I have done everything i have found online in EVERY discussion, i have spent over 60 hours trying to get this to work and i am asking myself, i bought this product why am having to fix this when it worked just fine on my iPod touch (3rd Gen) and iPod Classic!!!! PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS ISSUE FOR US!!!!

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

Hi Poonam26c,
If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

I accidentally deleted my music library from my old Mac and now I have a new Mac. Can i restore all my music somehow? Even though not all 10,000 songs were purchased from iTunes Store?

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.
FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

Why would a song I purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iTunes match?

Why would two songs I purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iTunes match? Both are part of a total album and the rest were uploaded okay.
Thx

Are they old songs that you may have purchased from a different store id years ago?
If your have old purchased songs that are drm protected and they are not associated with the store id that you are currently using then they will not be eligible.
I would burn to a disc and then rip back to your library.
Burn to the cd. Deletel the old files from your libary and delete the files don't keep them. Rip the cd back.
After you have tested the ripped songs back then empty your trash, or back up the old drm protected songs in a seperate folder.

How can I transfer multiple songs at once from itunes to device

I was wondering how you can transfer multiple songs or files from itunes to a device, such as an ipod, at once. The past itunes let you do it and I've been trying the same methds that you use on the older versions but nothing is working. Anyone know how to do it?

If syncing, select the content desired to be synced and then sync.
If manually managing content select the content then drag and drop it. Multiple items can be selected by holding the Cntro key and clicking on multiple items.

HT1473 How can I transfer my music (not purchased from Itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes library on a Macbook Pro?

I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
Help Please!

The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

All my itunes library has disappeared except for songs I purchased from itunes store. My playlists have also disappeared.

I turned on my laptop with Windows 7, went into itunes and for no reason my whole library (except for those purchased from itunes store) disappeared, as did my playlists. How do I get them back?
