HT1550 can't create a ring tone .

the Advanced ->"create AAC version" menu is grayed out. all the music I uploaded to iTunes using iMatch. is this choice copyright protected. I tried several albums. the technique was in Mac Life, october 2012, and in help file too. :-( what am I doing wrong. Need ringtones for my new iPhone 5 !!!!!

Another likely scenario is that your ringtone is over 40 seconds long. That's the longest I've got a ringtone to be - and the file needs to be under 1MB. Otherwise it will show as being on your iPhone Ringtones list - but not selectable from within the iPhone itself.
Try adjusting the length of the file then exporting it to your Ringtones and over to the iPhone. hopefully you will manage.
Also, if you've got Audacity (which I've been using), there is a lengthy method to do this, but it works and still involves having up to 40 seconds and under 1MB.
Export file as mp3 > Open in iTunes > Convert mp3 file to AAC > Rename that file extension from .m4a to .m4r > Delete both the mp3 and .m4a from iTunes > Double click on the renamed .m4r file. It will open in iTunes and will have automatically been placed in your Ringtones Category.

Tones is the new name for Ringtones. Enable from Edit > Preferences > General tab and sync to your iOS device from the Tones tab when the device is connected.

Error message 11556 wehn trying to create a ring tone

Can anyone help me to sort this problem out? I am new to this and cannot create a ring tone from a song that i have purchased. I am logged in to the i tunes store, but i get an error message that says that i can't connect. Several others seem to have posted similar problems but i wondered how i can solve the message and create a ringtone.

Hi
I have the exact same problem but have since found in the Itunes help section that you can only create ringtones with songs that have a bell next to them. None of my music has a bell next to it so have been onto Itunes store to seek out a song that has and cant find any.
Help option states to see tunes with a bell, click view, options then tick the ring tones option. This works with songs you have already downloaded but it reckons it works too for Itunes store but it doesnt.
Anyone know how you find out from Itunes store which songs can be created into ringtones?
Thanks

HT201272 I have downloaded free ring tone to my I phone 4s but can not set as ring tone.

I have downloaded free ring tone to my I phone 4s but can not set as ring tone.

You would have to create the ringtone. Google will find several ways to do this.
You can only buy ready made ringtones from the ringtones asections of the itunes store on your iphone.

I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5.

I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5. I see them in my tones folder, I've checked the "sync all" option and I've tried checking the individual tones and then sync. Each time iTunes says it has synced but the ring tones are not in the iPod.

Me too it has been all week and driving me crazy--- I've done everything I've seen on these websites to no avail--- does apple monitor these posts and offer any help????????

Can I keep my ring tones when upgrading to iPhone 6?

Can I keep the ring tones I have purchased when upgrading to iPhone 6? If so how do I do that?

I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

Repeated requests to "Sign In" to create a Ring Tone

In trying to create a ring tone in iTunes, I am asked to "Sign in to create ring tones from the iTunes store". I am already signed in, but I type in my password anyway. After clicking the "Sign In" button, I am asked again to sign in. iTunes never accepts my sign in request. I am typing the correct password and don't know what to do.
I went to a local Apple Store, but the "genius" could not help. He said it shouldn't do that and that I should send an eMail to iTunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I had the same problem and fixed it. I did many things at once, so I am not sure what the correct step(s) was/were. Nevertheless, here they are:
1. Make sure you didn't purchase the song using a different iTunes account. I forgot about an older account that I had. Sign into that account and make sure all your credit card/email data is up to date.
2. De-authorize your computer, reboot the computer, and then restart iTunes and authorize the computer again.
3. Sign into your iTunes account, make sure the info is up to date and that you have agreed to the terms of service. (This seems to get reset when an old account is used and you have since upgraded to a newer iTunes program.)
4. Make sure that the songs you are trying to use were indeed purchased aand not your own ripped music.
Hope this helps.

I have Deleted I Cloud and now I can not find my ring tones that I had purchased!

I have Deleted I Cloud and now I can not find my ring tones that I had purchased!

- If they are not in iTunes match in the Cloud or on your computer then they are likely gon.
- Just what did you do? You have to turn on/subscribe to Match on your computer and then it will "match" the music in your iTunes library and uploasd any that are not in the Apple's iCloud library
- As Apple stated,
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
If further questions I would post in the Match forum

Just bought iTunes song and can't make a ring tone..??..

I just bought a .99 cent iTunes song and when I right click on the song in iTunes it tells me that "This song cannot be made into a ringtone" "This ensemble can no longer be made into a ringtone"
Anyone know or had this problem before? I only bought this song for a ringtone and now I can't use it.

You can make a ring-tone using Garageband out of your own music library. It's very simple. See the link I posted. Of course you need to have Garageband to do this.

Can't get my ring tones back still

Why after the new iOS update I still cannot retrieve my ring tone it says that my device was not affected and I went from a 4s to a 6 and I still can't get them back

So after calling Apple support I was able to get my ring tones back but also found out that ring tones are a one time purchase and when you switch to a new device your new device will not get your ringtones your will have to bye new ones a way to keep them is to transfer them is to your computer and then transfer them to your phone with the iOS update is if you had ring tones on the device you're using and with the new update it removed them then you can retrieve them back from iTunes.com/restore-tunes
I'm glad you got them back, and yes it's true that when you purchase ringtones, you need to sync your device with iTunes on your computer. When you do that, you transfer purchases to your iTunes account, which means you'll NEVER lose ringtones you purchase.
However, if you don't transfer your purchased tones to iTunes, and you move to a new device, it is true that you will need to re-buy them. The moral of the story is to always sync your device with iTunes, transferring all purchases to your account and you'll never lose anything you purchase.

You should not leave this info here on this public forum.
We are all itunes users just like you. You are not addressing Apple here. I doubt anyone here cares who you buy from.
As always, it is your responsibility to back up your content. If you failed to do this, then they are gone.
You can try asking itunes support for an exception.
