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 ringtones category non existent!

    Im using the new Mac desktop and my itunes is up to date, for some reason I don't have a ringtones category?? And when I plug in my iphone, that also doesn't have a ringtones category?? Can someone help!

    Hi.I have Ringtones in my iTunes Library okay, but it doesn't present as an option for my iPhone settings - ie. When my iPhone is connected to iTunes it has the following tabs: Summary; Info; Apps; Music; Films; TV Programmes; Podcasts; Photos.
    But no Ringtones even though I have selected (tick box) this to show in the preferences set-up. I think it used to be there as a tab but has now mysteriously disappeared, not sure if I did something to remove it one time? But I don't know how to get it back as a tab??
    Any help/ideas would be great!

  • Can't create iTunes ringtones for my iPhone

    I'm trying to create ringtones from my purchased iTunes music for my new iPhone, but when I try to create the ringtone, I get a dialog that states:
    *"In order to purchase ringtones, you must review and accept the iTunes Store Terms of Service. Click OK to go to the iTunes Store Terms of Service."*
    I click OK, the dialog disappears, and then nothing happens. I've tried this repeatedly. I'm confused. Any ideas?

    Okay, I tracked down a solution. It's not in any of Apple's related FAQs (it should).
    "I was having the same trouble as those posted here, and finally called iTunes Support. They told me that there is a "TOS loop" that happens on the first purchase of a ringtone from a song that is already in your library (in other words, you are repurchasing the tune to make a ringtone). Here is their work-around:
    "Go to the iTunes home page, sign in, and download the FREE Single of the Week. There will be no charge. That will give you the prompt to "Accept the Terms of Service" window, which you should accept and click okay. Now go back to the music library window on your desktop, and select the song you want, and choose Create Ringtone. This time, because you've already purchased a new song for a ringtone, you won't get into the TOS loop, and you should see the WAV box at the bottom, which allows you to select and preview your ringtone, then click buy when you're ready."

  • I purchased ringtones on my iPhone and after I did the latest upgrade my ringtones are in  my library on my Mac but not in ringtone list on my iPhone? Help?

    Hello! I have purchase itunes ringtones on my iphone and had been using them. They are in my library on my Mac and in my iphone, but they are not in my ringtone list. Ever since I did the last upgrade for the iphone my purchased ringtones are no longer in the list of ringtones so I cannot use them anymore!! Can anyone help??

    Hi lapincoya,
    Open iTunes on your Mac and go to the iTunes Store. Make sure you are logged on. In the store, click on the Music tab, then under Quick Links on the right-hand side, click on Purchased>Songs>Not in My Library. You should see the song there with a little cloud next to it.
    (Alternatively, you can go to your Library in iTunes, and click on Music, and then click on View in the top menu. You will see an option to "Show Music in the Cloud". If you click on this, then any music that has not yet been downloaded to the Mac will show up in your music list with a little cloud next to it).
    Click on the cloud to download it to the Mac.
    By the way, when you purchase music on the Mac, you can get it to automatically download to your device by making sure that Settings>iTunes & App Store>Automatic Downloads>Music is turned on, but you cannot get music to automatically upload to the Mac when you purchase music on your device. You have to do what is shown above to get it on your Mac if the purchase originates on an iOS device.
    Cheers,

  • How do I delete ringtones on my iPhone 5 that I created from songs in my iTunes music library?

    I created several ringtones for my iPhone 5 from songs in my iTunes music library but they are only 1 second long.  I need to delete them and recreated them so they are 30 seconds long.  How do I remove them from my iPhone and iTunes?

    No -- an iTunes sync has no effect on photos in the Camera Roll; each time you sync using iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes setting/selections.

  • Ringtones purchased on iPhone via iTunes app do not show up in settings

    I bought ringtones via the iTunes app on my iPhone instead of buying ringtones through my PC.
    But the 100 ringtones from a collection I bought do not show up in my settings for sound, or are listed in Contacts for assigning a ringtone to individuals.
    I wanted to emphasize these are NOT custom ringtones, these are legitimate ring tones purchased from iTunes.
    How can I assign the purchased ringtones to contacts and as the default ringtone when they are not listed?
    On a related note, how can I delete some of the standard ringtones?

    How to create custom ringtones ...
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    6. Click the "Options" tab.
    7. 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.
    8. 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.
    9. Click "OK."
    10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    13. 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.
    14. 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.
    15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
    Hope this is useful ...

  • Missing Ringtone When Syncing with iTunes - How do I remove Corrupt Ringtones from my iPhone?

    PLEASE HELP!  I've been having trouble with a ringtone I purchased a few months back. Everything was fine, until a month ago when i synced my phone with iTunes, and my ringtone suddenly disappeared.  I have tried several times to sync / resync my phone again and again, and the ringtone is not there.  It is in my iTunes library under Tones, and it plays when I double-click on it.  But for some reason it won't sync over to my phone.  I've been in contact with Apple Support over email and they have put the ringtone back on my account twice, and both times I have been able to download it back directly to my iPhone.  But it's the same story all over again when I sync with iTunes... the ringtone just disappears, even when I checked "Sync Tones".
    Interestingly enough, when I take a look at my iPhone in iTunes, under Tones, there are 4 instances of the ringtone, all of them have an error icon next to them, as shown in the screenshot below:
    I've tried to NOT sync ringtones, but this list still appears.  For some reason I cannot delete these corrupt ringtones from my phone.
    In my library, the ringtones appear fine, and play fine when I double-click on them.  I don't know why there are 2 of them though.
    Please help!  I've been at this for a month and cannot find a solution!  I've re-bought the ringtone twice, but everytime I sync, it disppears all over again.  I think removing the corrupt ringtones from the iPhone may solve the issue.  Once I remove the corrupt files, I can start from scratch since the ones in my library play fine.  But the problem is I don't know how to remove the corrupt files from my phone.  Please help!
    Specs:
    iPhone 4 version 5.1.1
    iTunes v10.6.3
    MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.4

  • HT4623 How do I add a ringtone to my iPhone without synching to all of iTunes

    How do I add a ringtone to my iPhone without synching to all of iTunes? I have an enormous music library and do not want to add music to my phone. I checked the handle manually button, but it says it's going to erase everything on phone!? I cannot drag into Library from iTunes either. Help!

    If it is a new computer and you have not hooked you phone up, then it is NOT the same library you were syncing the phone with previously.
    You can only sync with ONE iTunes library at a time. You will have to let it wipe the media from the phone and re-sync any music, ringtones, etc. to it.
    Hopefully, you copied your music and other media from your old computer to the new one already.

    My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?

    Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
    I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily.  It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

    Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
    'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then 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.
