How do I set a purchased song from iTunes to be my ringtone

I was trying to set a ringtone for my new iPhone, so I went to the store and downloaded a song but it does not play as my ringtone. How do I get it to play as my ringtone?

You can't outright. You can extract a fragment of it and massage it into ringtone format for the phone to use. Search for the topic, the procedure has been posted in various occasions.

  • HT1688 how do i get a purchased song from itunes to be my ringtone

    Please help me. I do not know how to take a purchased song and download it so it becomes my ringtone?? any help

    There are a number of free utilities and options for creating ringtones for music that does not include DRM protection.
    If the song you downloaded from the iTunes store includes DRM protection - not an iTunes Plus song, you must purchase the ringtone separate if a ringtone is available for purchase with a segment of the song.

    Might that new playlist be a smart playlist named something like "Recently Added"?
    Yes, iTunes does create such a smart playlist and uses it to house recently downloaded songs.
    If you want the songs to go to an existing playlist as well, set up the smart playlist to include rule(s) to include the latest additions.

  • I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help :(

    I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help

    If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
    If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

  • HT1420 how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    The short answer is that you can't.  Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them.  AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

  • How do I permanently delte purchased songs from my iTunes library without Match?

    How do I permanently delte purchased songs from my iTunes library without Match? iTunes is automatically syncing songs I purchased years ago to my iPhone without me asking it to. I have not and am not going to pay for Match. I want to get of of these songs for good. I do not care about removing them from my history which is impossible, I just want to delete songs so they are not in my library and do not sync to my phone since I never wanted them there.

    Hey Dodge50,
    Great question! You can choose to sync your entire library, or selected playlists and other items. For more information, check out this resource:

  • How do i transfer already purchased songs from my computer to my new iPhone

    how do i transfer already purchased songs from my computer to my new iPhone

    Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if the left-hand sidebar isn't showing then control-S should get it to show) and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select the music that you want in the phone's Music app and and sync/apply that selection.
    If you haven't synced the phone to that computer before then you might also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
