HT201302 How do I link a song I have down loaded from I tunes to a ring tone?

Could anyone please assist with advice on how I set songs as ring tones. I have downloaded them from I tunes

You have to convert it first to use as ringtone. Here the steps using computer iTunes:
1. Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Library
2. Do File > Get Info on selected title (Windows do Edit > Get Info)
3. In the dialog choose Options tab
4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)
5. Close dialog.
6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version
7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.
8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes.
9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r
10. Drag and drop it into iTunes
Now you have a ringtone.
Make sure it is selected in iTunes for syncing

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.

How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones!

How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the one with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones! I am using the "new" iTunes.

For the moment there isn't a way for us end-users to control what is "matched" or "uploaded." That is purely a result of Apple's server-side algorithms.
To re-add multiple songs at once simply highlight all the songs you want to re-add, then right-click (or Control+click) the list and choose "add to iCloud."

HT4528 How do I attach a song I have downloaded to be the ringtone for specific contact

How do I attach a song I have bought on Itunes to be a ringtone for a specifica number?

You'll have to create a ringtone from it first as it is not in the correct format. Do the following:
Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes and, wait for the name of your phone to appear, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
If you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar.
Locate the song in your iTunes library, right-click on it, select "Get Info", on the Summary tab check if it says "Kind: Ringtone". If it doesn't, then you must convert it to a ringtone, then sync it to your phone.
Convert the song to a ringtone following this video as a guide: Create free ringtones with iTunes 10 video - CNET TV.
Sync the ringtone to your phone by selecting it on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings, then clicking Apply at the bottom to sync your phone. The ringtone should then be on your phone.

Some of the songs of an album I have down loaded wont play even though they appear on the play list, I have re-downloaded the album and yet still they wont play? Can anybody help?

Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
