How do you create ringtones in iTunes 12?

It has a special folder called Tones, but I can not put anything inside there.
It also does not recognize m4r files any more.

Trying to update my Ipad this morning to 'IOS 8.whatever', in the vain hope it might work a bit better. ITunes says I should transfer purchases. I found the option in Files/Devices but the option is greyed out so cant be selected. Does anyone have any ideas? It seems nuts to me that ITunes would tell me to transfer purchases and simultaneously deny me the option to do so.

  • How do I create ringtones from iTunes songs with Garageband?

    I have an iPhone 5s.  Is it possible to convert itunes songs into ringtones with Garageband ios?

    Yes, you can, if you sync your iTunes songs to the Music.app.
    See this Help-Page:
    http://help.apple.com/garageband/iphone/2.0/index.html#chs39284d66
    Share a GarageBand song as a ringtone or text tone
    In the My Songs browser, tap the Select button, then tap the song you want to export (or touch and hold the song).
    Tap the Action button , then tap Share Song As Ringtone.The Export Ringtone panel opens, showing the name for the ringtone. By default, the ringtone uses the same name as the song.The maximum length for exported ringtones is 30 seconds. If the exported ringtone exceeds the maximum length, a dialog appears. Tap Continue to have GarageBand shorten the ringtone automatically, or tap Cancel to return to the song so you can shorten it.
    To rename the ringtone, tap the name and type a new name.
    Tap Export.
    In the Ringtone Export Successful panel, do one of the following:
    To return to the My Songs browser, tap OK.
    To choose a use for the ringtone, tap Use sound as, then do one of the following:
    To use the ringtone as your standard ringtone, replacing the existing ringtone, tap Standard Ringtone.
    To use the ringtone as your standard text tone, replacing the existing text tone, tap Standard Text Tone.
    To see a list of your contacts, tap Assign to Contact, then tap the contact you want to use the ringtone with.
    To return to the My Songs browser without assigning the ringtone, tap Done to return.
    The next time you sync your device, the ringtone also appears in the GarageBand File Sharing area in iTunes. You can drag it to the Tones list to add it to your iTunes ringtone library.

  • How do I create ringtones in iTunes on Macbook Pro?

    I used to create my ringtones on my old laptop which was a windows, and I tried doing it on my macbook, but they don't go as ringtones..
    Is there a different way to do so on mbp than windows?
    I don't wanna have to keep getting out the old windows to do it every time?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Your MacBook Pro should have an application called GarageBand.  Its icon looks like a guitar in your dock.  Open GarageBand, go to "Help" in the menu bar, and type Create an iPhone Ringtone.  It will walk you through what to do.

  • How do you create playlists in iTunes 11

    Hi all...
    I'm very frustrated with itunes 11.
    Before I would create playlists( usually smart playlist) going by Band/Artist.  I could then select the playlist and it would play through all the albums for the particular artist.  And once it gets to the end of the albums and last  song...  It would just go back to the initial album and play through again.
    I don't understand this...  But I can't seem to create a playlist like I used to create them.  I'm completely lost.  Can anyone help me with this problem.
    Thanks!!

    If you click View > Sidebar you will see your playlists in the left hand side.
    The process to create a playlist or Smart playlist is the same as before. File > New > Playlist
    When you have created your playlist you can drag, Songs, Albums, Artists and genres like you used to.

  • Created Ringtone in Itunes but can't drag it to the ringtone folder?

    I created a custom ringtone in Itunes and then tried to drag the file to the ringtones folder and it wouldn't copy over. The file is 23 sec, converted to acc etc so I don't understand why it won't drag into the ringtone folder?

    How did you create the tone? Did you buy it off itunes or manually create it. If manually you have to put it into the ringtone folder on your hard drive, then it will show on the ringtones tab in itunes. (or at the least you have to import it in). Make sure it is also has the extension of .m4r

    How do you combine 3 different itunes libraries from 3 different computers to 1 computer?
    Can you keep it from creating duplicates?  These libraries have some duplicates.
    How do you deal with duplicates? 
    I'm talking 50GB. 
    All computers are authorized. 
    THANKS for any suggestions.

    You can't.
    If accounts could be merged, then everybody could merge their accounts with everybody and there would be no need for anyone to buy anything.

  • How do you create a new account for a family member?

    My daughter and I both have Ipods, and want to setup SEPARATE accounts. Itunes 7 worked great, but now when we 'upgraded' to 8, it MERGED all our files. So I thought I had a separate account, but it turns out when I load a new song, it goes into HER Itunes files. She deleted all my info, and I REALLY want a separate account (that sticks).
    My songs are still in my directory under "Mikes Itunes", but when I reloaded them into what I thought was a fresh entry, it turns out it went into my daughter's Itunes file too! What is up with Itunes 8? and how can you create a TRUE separate account so I have control over MY songs!?

    First, let's make it easier to swap between accounts. In the Accounts pane of System Preferences click on the Login Options (after unlocking the pane). Enable fast user switching. This will put a new menu in the top right of the screen. You can then swap to the other account without having to log out of the current one.
    Log into the original account. Select the folder you want access from the other account and choose Get Info from the file menu. There is a section called Sharing & Permissions. You will need to click on the padlock to make changes. Click on the + to add permissions for the other user account by selecting the user account from list that appears. Set the permission for that account to read only. Once you have it listed then choose the "Apply to enclosed items" from the gear menu below the list. This should give you access from the other account to that folder and any folders contained in it.
    For iTunes you will want to do this to the Music folder, giving you access to the files below. From within iTunes you can select Add to Library from the file menu, and then select the music from the other account to that account's iTunes library. Once you have set up the new library whoever's library is the original can clean up the library to remove any music they don't want (now that it's in the new account).

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

  • Create Ringtones in iTunes 10- AAC Version greyed out

    Need assistance creating ringtones in iTunes 10:
    I have iTunes 10 on a Windows PC.  I went into Preferences, General, IMPORT SETTINGS and set it to AAC Encoder and HIGH QUALITY (128 bkps) and checked the Error Correction. 
    The AAC Version in the ADVANCED drop down is still showing as being GREYED out after selecting an MP3  with 0 and 30 seconds as the time limits in GET INFO for a song.
    I have searched for a possible "fix" to get the AAC Version to be available.  Nothing works so far.  HELP!!
    [email protected]

    I had the same problem until I realized that I first need to buy the song and then create the ringtone from the already purchased song. The instructions could have been made clearer on this, and it would be great if you could use the ring tone creation tool to check if the song really fits before you buy the song…
    Good luck
