How do I move a file to the tones folder?

I'm trying to create a ringtone.  The file extention is .m4r.  The file will not go in the tones folder.  I try to move it and I just get that symbol that's a red circle with a diagonal line through it.  I am using iTunes 10.5.2 and Windows 7 pro 64 bit.

You can't drag & drop files between the source sections, Music, Movies, Tones etc.
The file should be in AAC format (normally .m4a) with an .m4r, be less than 30 seconds long, and ideally 128k stereo. Drop a copy into Automatically add to iTunes and it should end up in the right place.

  • How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?

    How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
    The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
    Thank you!

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

  • How can I save a file in the Downloads folder and automatically have it opened?

    Often, I'd like to download a file, save it to my Downlaods folder and have it opened right away.
    Currently, you can only decide between the two options "open" or "save to...". There's seemlingly no way Firefox can do both at once.
    I know I can download it, open the downloads manager and open it manually. But when working with over a dozen documents a day, that doesn't quite do the trick.
    In Chrome, you only have to click twice: Once for downloading and once for opening it from the download bar on the bottom of the screen. You do not have to open a download manager.

    Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
    I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
    1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
    2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
    3. Clicking on the downloaded file
    What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
    It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

  • Cannot move a ringtone to the tones folder

    Can anyone help please...this is driving us round the bend!!!
    We have been trying to create a ringtone from a song in iTunes but cannot move it to the tones folder. We have followed all the instructions available on-line and changed the song to an AAC file, reduced it to under 30 seconds etc etc. It is described as a ringtone in the Get Info box but we cannot move it to the Tones folder in the library and therefore cannot sync to the iphone.
    Many thanks

    Changed the extension?
    When posting this kind of question it helps us to know which directions you followed by posting a link.  Some people carefully follow direction to do things such as moving their "itunes library", then we find the directions they followed were for just moving itunes media and not the whole library.

  • How do you move a file to the trash with ONE keystroke (Can't believe I'm wasting time on this!)

    Everytime I want to send a file to the trash, I have to either perform some kind of key combination/shortcut or use the trackpad/mouse, right click and select "move to trash", or drag the file(s) to the trash!  This is absolutely ridiculous.  Why can't I just press the delete button??? I cannot take it anymore!  It's such a waste of time.
    After some research, I finally found a post with the answer I was looking for from user  par larsson 
    Re: How delete a file in mac os x?
    "You can also go into System Preferences and make a new keyboard shortcut. I turned one of the function keys into a "Move To Trash" key.
    1. No need to use the mouse for something that should be simple and quick.
    2. Single button press just like in Windows."
    Seriously!
    Now the problem is how do you do this?
    1. I went to the system prefs > Keyboard > Keyboard and checked "use F1, F2, etc... as standard function keys.."
    2. Under keyboard shortcuts, I selected "Application Shortcuts" and clicked on the "+" sign
    3. I selected the finder application, entered "Move To Trash" in the action box, and F12 as the key (because it's next to "delete")
    That did not work.  It just opened the dashboard instead.
    4.  I went back to "keyboard shortcuts" and found F12 was already assigned to open the dashboard.  So I unchecked it and tried again.
    That still didn't work.  I would select the file to be moved to trash, press F12, and after an error "beep" sound, the last file in the folder was highlighted.

    Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!!!!!  YOU DID IT!  I cannot believe it!
    I changed "Move To Trash" to "Move to Trash" and selected a file.  I had lost all hope, so I took a minute to prepare myself for yet another moment of deep frustration.  Then I pressed F10, and bang! the file was trashed!!!  It took me a couple minutes to actually believe what just happened.  Thank you so much!  If I could, I would "like" you as many times as I can physically hit the "Liked" button!
    PS: what the heck is wrong with Apple though???  Wrong instructions, incorrect help instructions on their own site.  The chances of figuring this out before having a nervous breakdown were like one in a million (approximately, I did not actually do the math).  Last week, the keyboard and the trackpad stopped responding on my brand new macbook pro for a couple hours. I was not the only one with this problem.  Apparently, this was from a design flaw, which means it could happen again at any time.  iMovie doesn't work.  TextEdit keeps crashing all the time.  Emptying the trash can take hours. 
    Since 2000, I bought a PMac G4 Quicksilver, a used PMac G3 Blue, a used iBook G4, a used Pismo PBook G3, a used Graphite iMac G4, a used iMac G3 (green, 233MHz I think) and I already had more problems with this brand new macbook pro than will all the other macs combined...  For such an expensive machine, with 16GB of RAM, that's a little dissapointing, especially from Apple.  Maybe I'm just not lucky.
    Anyways, thanks again!  Best moment of 2014!

  • How do I move a file in the Creative Cloud website?

    Select the file, and then click the move icon (the icon to the left of the trash can) in the toolbar.
    In the Select A Destination Collection dialog box, select a folder.
    Click Move.

  • After creating a new user account, how do I move my files into the new user?

    I have an issue where my 'Desktop/Screensaver' prefs seem to be corrupt somehow. When I click on that icon in System Preferences, it stalls and I get the spinning ball, thus resulting in a force quit. After reading a Mac Format magazine where someone wrote in with a similar issue, they said to trash various prefs (did that and made no difference) and if that didn't work, try creating a New User account (therefore creating brand new system prefs) and move your stuff over.
    Well, I've created the New User account, but I can't figure out how to move/copy my stuff into the user folders. After copying and attempting to move stuff in, I see folders with a red circle with a white line through it (like a 'no entry' sign).
    Any clue as to how this can be done? All I'm trying to do is to reinstate the system prefs so they are not corrupt anymore on my log-in.

    No. Not the main Library folder. Make absolutely sure you are in the Home Library folder and not the main Library folder.
    Your Home Library folder is hidden in Lion. To get to it, in the Finder menu, select GO and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu. The Finder window will open in your Home Library. This is where your user prefs are stored.
    Once there, you will see the Preferences folder. Open it up, select all items within it and move them to the trash. You will need to restart in order for the new Finder preferences to be recreated.
    Once you restart, then you will be back to the default preferences to the system and all applications. And yes, it will affect all settings including your Dock, just as logging into a new user. You will have to reset everything there also.
    If you wish to do a selective method, instead of deleting all preferences, try deleting the one associated with your problem. Screen saver problems should be affected by the system preferences, so try deleting this:
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist.lockfile
    Note that when you delete system file preferences, a restart will be required. For applications, just quit the application before trashing preference files.

  • How do I move songs/files on the iPod?

    I would like to clean up some of the songs on my new 80 GB Video iPod. I notice that the same musical groups with slightly different spellings will be listed under artists with both spellings (example: Ah Ha & a-Ha). How do I move songs from one directory (a-Ha to Ah Ha)? I think I am running into problems because I used an mp3 cd to load some of these songs into iTunes (I dragged them to iTunes from the CD in Windows explorer). Also, I am unable to create a "Workout" playlist on the iPod. I can do this in iTunes, but the playlist and the songs do not appear on my iPod. There are 2 other playlists that were created when I dragged the files from the hard drive to iTunes. Is that the problem I am having? Another question: would it be best to move all my songs from their sources into the \My Music\iTunes directory? Will doing this make the songs from that directory synch with my iPod? Thank you.

    "How do I move songs from one directory (a-Ha to Ah Ha)?"
    Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info".
    This brings up the multiple song info window. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name.
    So to correct this, in the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. You should do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
    Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.
    If you want the music in your iTunes library to be accessible to it and transferrable to the ipod, all the music should be in your iTunes folder which is usually found at my music/iTunes/iTunes music.
    You can do this by using the advanced/consolidate option in iTunes. This creates a copy of all the music found on your computer and places it in the iTunes music folder.

  • How do I move a file to a sub folder without duplicating

    Please help....I am trying to move a file within my list of subfolders to a subfolder. It not only moves it, but also keeps the same file in the subfolder list, in other words, duplicates it. I just want one in the subfolder, not in the sub folder and one in the subfolder list. I do not like having to go to the subfolder list and deleting each file, once I have moved the file to a subfolder.

    Try resetting home folder permissions and ACLs. If you have a permissions problem in your account, then it could be inherited to subdirectories in the account and propagate the problem. To reset this, reboot the system with the Command-R keys held down immediately after you hear the boot chimes. This will load to the OS X Recovery tools, and when you do so, select the Terminal from the Utilities menu.
    In the Terminal, run the command "resetpassword" (all one word, lowercase), and in the utility that pops up, choose your hard drive, then your user account from the drop-down menu, and then click the button to reset home folder permissions and ACLs.
    This should ensure all folders in your system are properly accessible, so when you drag items around they are moved by default, instead of copied or otherwise handled.
    Alternatively, as CT mentioned, if you are using Command-C to copy a selection and then are trying to paste it in a new location with Command-V, then this will result in copying the files and not moving them.

  • How do I save my files to the correct folder?

    When I try to save a file, it gives me the basic locations (desktop, documents, my files, idisk, etc., but if I want the file in a folder in documents, I can't get deep enough to highlight the file. It won't go farther than the documents folder. Is there a setting that I can change this? It is lame if I have to save a document to the desktop so I can find it, just to move it to the correct file that I want it in. Thanks for any help in advance.

    Next to the field in the Save window where you enter the file name, there's a little rounded box with a down-pointing arrow.  Click that to show a full file browser that lets you navigate the entire file system.

  • How do I move song files from the documents file to iTunes?

    I have a bunch of songs in the AIFF format in my documents file. I'd like to move them to my iTunes library, but I must be doing something wrong--many times. Since expecting different results from doing the same thing is a definition of stupidity, I have to ask for help instead of trying the same thing for the 42nd time.

    Use File -> Add to Library and navigate to the
    files you wish to select. You can also select a
    contiguous block by holding down the shift key as you
    click from first to last item in a list. Then press
    the "select" button. You aiff files should be added
    to the iTunes library
    Moriond,
    It worked! and on my first try. And all at one time. Thanks a million. I still have to delete all the AIFF files and name the songs and artists in my iTunes library, but I'll do that tomorrow. For now, I'll just close out my day with this great achievement, thanks to you.
