How do i use a song in my music as a ring tone on my iphone 5?

I am new to the apple I phones now, I have had a 4s for about 3 months then I happened to loose it at work so I bought an I Phone 5.  Now i would like to know how to use a song in my music folder or a song that is already on my phone as a ringtone? 
Thanks for any help that is received

You need to create a ringtone from your song using itunes (see Create free ringtones with iTunes 10), then select it on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync it to your phone.  Once synced to your phone you will find it in Settings>Sounds>Ringtone at the top of the list.  (If you're using iTunes 11 you may need to go to View>Show Sidebar to follow the process shown in the linked video.)

    The procedure is the following:-

    *Click Ok.
    * Again right click in the same song and click the CREATE AAC VERSION
    * Now you can see the same two song. if you have made the short length in step 2, lenght will be different.and this will be in (.m4a) format. and if you dont see on itunes you can search the name on finder. you will find both files.
    * Now you try to change the format (.m4a)  to (.m4r), you just delete a and add r and press enter bottom. and conform it.
    *Now you add this files to the ringtone/tones on itunes which is located on the left side bar of itunes.
    *make sure under the preference of your itunes under the general the tones section is checked in.

    *Now this tone is on your iphone. You can change your ringtone through setting>sound>ringtone and choose the particular one.

    There are many apps in the App Store, which you can download (many are free) that will let you take a song on your phone and turn it into a ringtone.  Virtually all of them will require that once you've made the clip, you do something like email it to yourself, then connect your phone to your computer, save it iTunes, then sync it to your ringtones library on your phone.  Go to the App Store and type in Ringtone.  Lot's of options will appear.

  • How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone?

    How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone? Like music from my library I want to use invGarageBand to record over.

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

  • How do I use a song stored in ipod on my iPhone 4 as a ring tone

    How do I use a song stored in ipod on my iPhone 4 as a ring tone

    You need to use an App like Ringtone Maker or Ringtone Wizard Pro for that.
    Or, what I do is to make my own ringtones with music I have in my computer and then sync them to my iPhone following this steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    Click the "Options" tab.
    Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    Click "OK."
    Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Hope this was helpful

  • How can i use a song as a ring tone from a cd i have loaded on the 4s

    How can i use a song as a ringtone from  a cd i have loaded on my iphone 4s

    The weird thing is, when u make your own ringtones, they sound terrible when set as a ringtone (really tiny and generally awful), but when u set them as a text tone or any other alert they sound great (like they do when u play them through the music app).
    Is this just a bug with iOS5 or have previous models also done this?

  • How can i use my music as a ringing tone??

    how can i use my music as a ringing tone??

    I came across a GREAT program: iRinger.net. It's a free download and really easy (and Fun) to use!
    I recommend watching the Instructional Video on the homepage that shows you exactly how to use it. Basically, you upload a song to the program, edit any portion of it that you like to a 40 second or less tone, then export it to iTunes. When you sync your phone w/ iTunes, it gets saved along with the rest of your ringtones. I had a blast last night creating about a dozen or so!
