ITunes RIngtone Feature?

I followed the Apple Help instructions on how to create a ringtone for my iPhone by using a song purchased from iTunes. Every song that I bought could not be made into a ringtone. When I chose "create ringtone" a meassage appeared stating that "this song can no longer be made into a ringtone". Then I tried every single song that I have purchased from iTunes in the past month and none of them worked.
Maybe I missed the warning but I didn't see any mention of this in the Apple Help instructions or at the iTunes store before purchasing the songs. So I guess it's just buyer beware? Awesome way to waste money! Please tell me I am totally off base, jumping to the wrong conclusion and that there is a simple solution that I missed. Thanks!

If you turn on the 'RingTone' column in the iTunes store, you can see if a track can be made into a ring tone before you buy it.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • HT3823 iTunes LP feature

    I downloaded an album that is supposed to offer the iTunes LP feature, but it's not working. I have nothing waiting to be downloaded from iTunes, and I have the most current version of iTunes. Any help with this?

    All purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    I can't open iTunes Store features tab on iPad mini. Message given is: 'Your request produced an error. (newNullResponse)." 
    How do I resolve this problem?

    Try restarting your iPad or testing on another Wi-Fi network.
    If that doesn't do it, try the troubleshooting steps in this iTunes Store doc. The same steps should help with App Store problems.

  • "Press any key to mute ringtone" feature = never hear calls when in the car. Any fix?

    Is there any way to turn it off?
    I keep my Centro in a belt case this is always clipped to my belt while riding in the car.
    It's a very nice, rugged case I picked up that is the perfect size, but the keys easily get bumped while I'm driving.
    So, when a call comes in it will only ring for a 1/2 second before one of the keys gets bumped and silences the ringtone.  It's really annoying to not even know that anyone called me until I check the Centro for some reason.
    Is there any way to disable the "press any key to mute ringtones" feature?  Any setting / hack / tweak / etc?

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    Unfortunately there isn't a way to disable this feature. However, you can probably look into a car kit/ clip so you can slip the device on your car in an easy to reach position. Another alternative would be to take the belt like and clip it on your sun visor for a temporary fix.
    I'm sorry I wasn't able to completely resolve it but I hope my advice helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

  • Itunes conversion feature REALLY SLOW

    Hi. Today's my first time using the conversion feature in itunes. (Advanced tab: Create iPod or iPhone version). I'm trying to convert my mp4 file into one that's suitable for my iPod. The problem is that the version is REALLY SLOW. It's been converting for over 30 minutes but the progress bar on top only has about ONE MILLIMETER filled in! To the people who've used the itunes conversion feature before, can you please tell me if the conversion was this slow for you guys?
    Thanks!

    hi Margaret!

  • Can not see itunes stores' featured tab

    I have replaced my iphone 4 with 5s and now i can not access itunes stores featured tab. However, i can see this tab in my ipad mini. What should i do to reach this tab in my 5s?

    iTunes stores the music in a library..
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
    Accessing files in libraries especially covered by digital rights is something Apple specialises in making obscure.

  • Will iTunes restore feature force me to go through the setup/activation process again on my iPhone 3GS?

    Will iTunes restore feature force me to go through the setup/activation process again on my iPhone 3GS?
    I don't have internet at current location so this would be a huge issue as obviously I wouldn't be able to get past the connect to wifi/itunes step.

    I haven't tried because if it fails I have no phone, which would be even worst.
    I'm still trying to figure out whos brilliant idea it was to only allow wifi or itunes when you pay for 3G on the phone lol you'd think there would be an option to use it

  • Cant use itunes' all features...

    I cant use itunes' all features cuz it is not supported in my country . is there a specific reason that causes the differences between regions.
    Thank you for your answes.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • ITunes Ringtones to non-iPhone?

    .
    Is there a method to use the your iTunes ringtones on a phone other than the iPhone? Say...a KRZR or BlackJack II?
    .

    Well, unfortunately you can't use downloadable ringtones because they are specially formatted for the iPhone only. There is a way to do it manually for free. This is what u need:
    1 blank cd (rewritable ok)
    software for ur phone (or for smartphone just drag and drop)
    USB/FireWire connection+ ur phone
    cd burning capable drive
    windows OS(operating system)
    iTunes
    First, right click the song you would like as a ringtone in ur itunes library, click get info and go to the options tab. There are two checkboxes, start time and end time. Check both. Change the start time to the desired time. ( when main chorus starts, etc.) (you may need to experiment with this a bit to get it just right by exiting the window and checking where the lyrics are and entering the time in the start time box.. Don't forget the colons) to get even more detailed u could enter a start time such as 2:35:56(2min,35sec,56millsecs). This makes ur ringtone sound professional. Now as soon as the info is entered for the start time, do the same for the end time, concentrating on the end main lyrics. Keep experimenting with the song until it sounds like a ringtone to ur liking. (remember, a standard ringtone lasts from 15-30 seconds, so keep it about 20 seconds or so. Or else it will cut off.) when u are done, create a playlist(just a regular playlist) and drag and drop the song into it. Name the playlist anything that u would like(this is basically going to be the digital name of the cd)now before u burn anything, I recommend adding a few more ringtones so u dont waste a cd. Also, before u burn if u have any questions up to this point make sure u respond in this message. When u are ready, insert ur blank disc( u may get a message pop up saying how to burn the disc, just close it and exit any autoplay pop ups)click burn disc in the lower right hand corner and it will burn the song(s). When it is finished, choose to import the songs to ur iTunes library. Something will pop up at the end saying that you have duplicate songs, DO NOT click replace or delete to recycle bin. It will delete ur original song otherwise. Just keep both files. Now the songs are imported, u can now find them in ur iTunes music folder under the artist name and drag and drop the files to ur device. ( copy it) if u use a certain software, navigate to the iTunes music folder and select it and drop it into the program when it gives u the option to do so. Ok well I hope this helps u somewhat and if u need any help, just reply or email me and I'll help u asap. Good luck(by the way, changing the start time or end time won't change the song perminately until u burn it. So when u finished burning the song and u confirm that everything works, make sure u go back to the original song in ur library and uncheck the start and end time boxes, otherwise any iPod u connect and automatically sync will sync the edited song.)

  • ITunes ringtone purchases a rip-off?

    New iPhone user here. I read up the docs about getting ringtones at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1491 as well as various forum posts explaining the (tedious) steps for getting custom ringtones for free. So I decided to avoid the hassle, and purchase some ringtones. Found an album of the ones I liked, and downloaded them to the phone. They now are findable under iPod app, under Albums.
    The big problem is that the purchased ringtones are NOT available under Settings -> Sounds -> Ringtone, as the KB article above leads one to believe (see the section under Purchasing Content, then Ringtones).
    Could someone please explain whether I just got "taken" by Apple for $3.99?

    As I recall, I just used the search feature, then previewed a few tracks and grabbed the album. I suppose that means I purchased "songs", and not "ringtones"?
    Would be nice to see a disclaimer in the iTunes album description? Otherwise the whole experience wreaks of the old-school eBay scams where people would buy a "box" of some item, and not the item itself.

  • Is anyone else's iTunes ringtones disappearing

    i downloaded 2 ringtones and they were working fine I wake up this am an they are gone downloaded again and again went away I have iPhone 6 plus running 8.1.1

    OK, I've found some more information. There is definitely a bug in the current data being pushed to the iTunes app.
    What happens is that if you have Genius as the selected view on one page (either Music or Movies) and then quit the app, when you come back into the app, the buttons allowing you to choose between Genius, Featured and Charts are not shown on that page. However, if you go to the other page (either Music or Movies), select Genius on that page, and then return to the page with the problem, the buttons will then have appeared.
    You should then go back to the other page and select a view other than Genius before quitting the app.
    The app clearly stores state when you exit, and it is using this state information wrongly when you restart the app. Rebooting the iPad will not fix this.

  • Bring back iTunes syncing feature back!

    I don't mean to be the stickler, but I cannot believe Apple decided to force us to use iCloud for syncing contacts. If i had known that upgrading to Maverick would have caused such, I would never have done so. I have a lot of personal and sensitive information on my iPhone. I don't want such information to be stored at any cloud platform. In fact, I prefer iPhone over Android phones for this feature (allowing users to decide whther they will use syncing via iTunes versus via iCloud). Now that feature is gone, I am in need of retracting back to the previou version of iTunes or Mountain Lion OS. Otherwise, I will need to start looking into if Android platform allows such. I want choices especially when sensitivie information is involved. How often do we hear about someone hacking into some corporate data hub? I don't want to risk.
    Please bring back the feature to sync via iTunes!

    Mike,
    First of all, I am grateful for the message you posted. At least you cared enough to provide your input.
    Secondly, I am not so concerned about losing data. Because, such data reside in my macbook pro, my ipad, my iphone, and my backup of the macbook pro hard drive. So, I am okay in that front.
    As far as someone taking my devices, they are password protected with non-simple (not just 4 digits standard setting) password along with features such as "Erase Data" turned on for so many failed attempts.
    Given, such I have to stand by my first request to Apple if they would reconsider giving back the feature. For my peace of mind...
    Thanks again for your input.

  • ITunes Radio features missing from one computer to the other..

    I upgraded my home iMac to iTunes 11.1 and when I click on a radio station, I have a scroll bar to choose from top hits to finding more music. I upgraded my work computer the next day, and that feature is not there. On my home iMac, I have the a star in the upper left and I can choose play more like this, don't play again, or add to wish list. On my work computer I only have add to wish list. I've searched preferences, and I can't find anything to turn on those abilities. Maybe I just need a second eye, or perhaps it's just a bug for now in day to day updates?
    Bryan

    Yeah, I'm experienced the same problem. Don't see the Play More Like This and other Playlist customization features.  I wonder if the features are only available to iTunes Match members?

  • HT3951 how do I get a itune ringtone to be ringtone on my iphone 5?

    I found a ringtone in the iTune store, purchased same, it downloaded as music on my iphone 5, i want to use it as the ringtone for my iphone. How do I get it be a ringtone?

    You have to create the ringtone.  Google will find several ways to do this.
    The only place to buy ready made ringtones is from the ringtone section on the iphone itself.
