IPhone ringtones... not iTunes!

Okay I bought the iPhone and so far I love it... except for one thing... the ringtones that come installed are super bad... I mean I now have this modern futuristic phone, something that reminds me of some gadget you would see on the "Jetsons" or something... very cool, but why on earth would I want this cool piece of technology to ring like a duck, old car horn or a pinball machine?! I want some futuristic rings! I really don't want music from my itunes as a ringtone. I really love my music but I HATE the idea of a part of a song playing as a ringtone. I want some beeping kinda synthicised sounds... kinds space age maybe... Is Apple ever going to make anything better? I looked up electronic, synthicised and simular catergories in iTunes, hoping to make something myself, but unfortunatly nothing I found had the "ringtone" icon next to it. I went to sound effects on iTunes, and the same story, no icons!
If I were a teenage girl I might like a little music ringtone... It makes me not want to keep the phone. I thought Apple would have ben a little more original regarding this. Any help?

Santo,
You are new to the forums, so you probably don't know about the search feature. Run a search for ringtones and you will see that this issue has been addressed many times.
As of current, there is only one way to add ringtones - the iTunes store. What they have available are your options.
Apple does not read these forums for feedback. Go to:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
The short story is: If the ringtones are a deal breaker for you, you probably need to return the phone.

  • Removing albums from iPhone but not iTunes

    I have the 16gb iPhone and would need to free up space on the device. I need to delete albums from the iPhone but not the iTunes library.
    Any suggestions?

    You have been manually managing music and videos from the start, or your switched to this from syncing?
    When switching from syncing to manually manage, all iTunes content on your iPhone should be erased first.
    Since you are manually managing music and videos selected, you manually drag music and videos from your iTunes library to your iPhone in the iTunes source list to add music and videos to your iPhone. To remove music and videos from your iPhone, you need to delete the music and videos from your iPhone.
    Open your iPhone under devices in the iTunes source list - select the right facing arrow pointing it down, which will reveal Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc. Select Music to reveal all music that is available on your iPhone. Select the music that you want to remove from your iPhone followed by delete.
    In regards to syncing - when syncing selected playlists, you remove songs from the playlist or playlists in iTunes that is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync to remove the songs from your iPhone. If you want to keep the music in your iTunes playlists in iTunes but remove select songs from your iPhone only, select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Uncheck the songs that you want removed from your iPhone in the playlists in iTunes followed by a sync. To remove an entire playlist from your iPhone, deselect the playlist under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • IPhone Ringtone Not Synced to iPhone

    I bought a ringtone-eligible tune at the iTunes store, edited it, and it appeared in iTunes as a ringtone. When I synced my iPhone to the SAME computer, which is the computer I always sync the iPhone to, the ringtone did not sync and I got this message: "The ringtone was not copied to the iPhone because you are not authorized to play it on this computer." Same message when I try to transfer the tune I just bought to the iPhone. Of course, I can play the tune AND the ringtone just fine on the computer in question. Can anybody explain or help? Thanks.

    My problem is similar. I had a few dozen songs I'd bought over the years that showed up this morning as "ringtone eligible". Then I bought two new ones. Everything downloaded correctly. Then I realized that I couldn't 'edit' the ringtone because my laptop's sound ports don't work any more, so I copied the two new songs to a Mac at work, and "authorized" that Mac to play the songs. That all worked fine, but suddenly the ringtone icon was gone from the newly downloaded songs. Then, when I looked at my laptop on the adjoining desk, ALL the ringtone icons had disappeared from my previously purchased songs and the two new ones. Now I can't find any way to get the ringtone icons back, and therefore I can't make any ringtones at all (even though I had dozens of eligible songs only moments before!). I also noticed that, on the laptop, there is an icon in the left-hand list for Ringtones (under Music, iTunes Store, etc.) but on the desktop computer (running the exact same version of iTunes - 7.4.1 (2)) there is no such icon. The songs play on both computers, but there are no ringtone icons anywhere (the column is visible, but empty). Any ideas?

  • Pop sound between tracks on ipod/iphone but not iTunes

    hello,
    not sure if this is the correct forum but i have an iphone 3G (and an ipod nano 3G) and like to listen to music without breaks so i delete any spaces of silence in between tracks (with Audacity). my problem is that when music is lined back to back like this (without any silence), there is a pop sound at the beginning of the second track. the editing should be clean because it plays perfectly fine on iTunes.
    my question: is it just a matter of my equipment being too old and needing to upgrade? is the processing too slow? would a iphone 5 be able to play just as well as iTunes? 
    appreciate any comments or assistance in advance.

  • Missing songs from iphone but not itunes?

    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I wasn't able to find it. Sometimes when I connect my iphone to my Win7 desktop and manually drag new songs onto the iphone, I wait until the Sync process disappears off the screen before disconnecting my phone. When I open the ipod app on my phone it'll say updating library and then display the free songs that I've downloaded from the itunes store and nothing else. No matter if I'm looking at Albums, Songs or Artists my content isn't on there however when I plug the phone back to the pc and check it on itunes, all the content is on there! What I usually have to do at this point is manually drag everything that I had on there before back to the iphone, let it sync and then it's all good.
    This behaviour is completely random it appears and I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else? My stepson also has an iphone 3gs and sometimes the same thing happens to him as well?

  • Exporting iPhone Ringtones from iLife09 - Garageband.

    Hey all,
    Having a slight hassel getting Garageband to export iPhone ringtones to iTunes... I have the latest updates for all programs, and I'm following the same process that used to work in iLife 08, it just doesn't seem to work.
    Aside from this little thing not working for me, the program is A1!
    Any ideas would be helpful.
    Cheers,
    Dave.

    I'll respond seeing as I'm having exactly the same issue. I create a sub 30 second loop, choose export ringtone to iTunes. A blue progress bar tells me the ringtone is being made, iTunes is booted and lo and behold, nothing appears in the ringtones area. More annoyingly, I have I've sucessfully done this before, but about 3 months ago it stopped working. I updated to iLife '09 (from '08) with no effect. I've downloaded M4r files from the web and dragged them into iTunes with no problem, but it refuses to play when exporting from Garageband. I don't think it's a protected file issue because I'm trying to do it with copyright free loops from Garageband.

  • Purchasing Apps for different non-linked iPhones with one iTunes account

    Hi:
    Is it possible to use my iTunes account to purchase apps for different iPhones without linking those phones to my iTunes account?
    I am trying to purchase a specific application (WhatsApp) for some friends who have iPhones but not iTunes accounts. I don't want to link those phones to my iTunes account, just buy this specific app for them.
    When I try to purchase directly from their iPhones, I get a wrong password message. Is Apple blocking this purposely?
    Thanks,

    All 3rd party apps - paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the app, so the answer is no.

  • How to create ringtones through itunes on mac computer?

    Okay so,
    I've made ringtones before but it's been awhile and I know there used to be an option once you purchased the song that from there you could create a ringtone on your computer through itunes and pay 99c for it or whatever but I can't for the life of me find any option on how to create a ringtone. I've searched throughout itunes and looked through the FAQ and support and NOTHING talks about it except for on the iphone there is a section for ringtones but the selection seems extremely limited. Someone please help?
