Plz someone help I made custom ringtones and when I try to put them in my iPhone 4 it hey appear gray on iTunes and won't go on my phone and I tried syncing it don't help what do I do???!!!
The ringtone file format is m4r. You can create ringtone from any of your music file in your iTunes Music library.
Follow steps as follow:
1. Right mouse click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
2. Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” n Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
3. Right mouse click the music file again and choose “Create AAC Version”
4. You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
5. Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
6. Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
7. *Important - Now uncheck the start n stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
8. Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
9. Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
Note: Just in case you cannot "Create AAC version" from Step 3, go to top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
Once you have ringtones in Tones library, you can sync ringtones over by connecting your phone to PC, select iPhone under Devices on iTunes left Pane, then go to 'Tones' tab and check SYNC TONES as well as the ringtones. Click the SYNC button on the lower right window. -

I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.
Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to 'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info. -
TS1717 itunes store won't open to matter what I do! HELP how do I fix this?
Ever since I got a new computer with windows 7 my itunes store would not open, so I couldn't buy anything and more importantly I couldn't get updates.
It claimed there was something wrong with my internet connection, but there's nothing wrong with the wifi connection.
a blank screen with 'itunes store' on it is all I get when I try to get to the itunes store.
It hasn't updated with ANY of the ios updates for my phone hasn't been updated in over a year.
I reset my phone a few nights ago to get rid of old photos and videos so I could just get new ones instead of manually going and deleteing them all, but now it won't connect to my itunes. So I can't sync it and get my phone back to use.
It's just show a blank screen that says 'iphone'. I don't know why it won't connect or is rejecting our wifi signal or whatever crap is preventing it from loading properly if at all.
I have tried running it in safe mode, making a new account, turning off the firewall, uninstalling then reinstalling itunes, getting another drive,
going command prompt and typing in one thing (says it worked, but itunes still wouldn't open) and another thing (again still wouldn't open/load itunes store at all)
and several more things, if I click itunes store the bar will say "accessing itunes store" but not matter how long I wait or how many times I try it never accesses or opens or loads the store.
I use my phone a lot, for working and personal family whatnots, and daily tasks, but since itunes store won't connect and it can't get any connection my phone is unusable, the only thing I can do with it is call emergency numbers.
what am I supposed to do?a blank screen with 'itunes store' on it is all I get when I try to get to the itunes store.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

iTunes 8 won't let me burn a disc. It gets as far as finalizing and then freezes. I have wasted to discs with this problem. I have been able to burn discs before, but now it is not working. Just last week I burned a disc with no problem. I am using8 8.0.1. I thought about downgrading to iTunes 7, but then I won't be ab;e to play video, which is why I upgraded to 8 anyway. Does anyone know a fix for this or is this an apple bug? Thanks ahead of time for any help.
First and no I did not update. I did it on it's own.
Nope. Didn't work. The first try the disc processed in a second and popped out unburnt. When I put in back in it was considered a blank disc. iTunes was totally unresponsive and had to be forced quit. The second time I took the disc the new window that used to be in the Prefs popped, I set my settings and hit burn. My list was checked, the disc was "initialized", it said that the first song was being burned which took a second. The it says that it is finalizing the disc longer before it should. Sits there for a while . . . still finishing . . . . still . . . still . . . . finishing . . . . still . . . . I'm thinking the way it was with the iDisc and your write would take a second but the "finalizing" was the actual write that would show a spinning candy bar for the time it actually takes to write. Still finalizing. Still finalizing . . . . Oh and the first one after the disc ejected all windows became unresponsive, the app would not quit and had to force quit. Still finalizing and I have no idea what is happening or how long this is going to take. I'm not getting anything like we use to get in the progress window; showing each song as is was being processed and burnt with a time and progress thermometer.
Yup. Burning in iTunes 8.0.1 is broken.
Oh, still finishing.
20 minutes later . . . still finishing . . .
40 minutes . . . . still finishing . . . .
Tried to stop it and it says that it will break the disc if I do and gives the option to or not.
iTunes screwed up my library ages ago and this might be the perfect reason to dump everything and start over with 7.2 that was the last best version that I remember.
Still finishing . . . .
Stopped the disc. It says it is Canceling and it may take a minute or two. If that is on the Disk Util scale this could be a month.
10 minutes still canceling . . . .
Since the disc is supposedly trash, I'm Force Quitting iTunes . . . .
Trying to eject via the keyboard, it won't. My second burner ejects just fine. Saved this post and will restart to see if the disc will eject. Be right back . . .
The disc ejected right before the desktop came up. And when mounted came up as a bank disc which the OS tried to burn, did, and it failed at the finish. Ejected it and remounted it, it came up as a blank disc that I then burnt some stuff that failed during finish. then in Toast it saw it as a blank disc and burnt some stuff and failed during the lead out. So I son' think it's completely iTunes, but had noticed in 10.5.x I can no longer burn on the run like I use to in 10.4.x. I did more testing with other media and applications (up to date) and nothing works as is used to. So . . . .
Apple so sad. I remember in OS9 every update was new, exciting, you'd have cool new features and a faster smoother running machine and it didn't leave a mess. Oh well . . . . -
iTunes shows the iPod is connected but doesn't show it in the drop down menu under Devices, and the "sync" option is grayed out, so I can't sync the nano with iTunes. I ran the diagnostic tests and it shows the device is connected, but it failed the sync test - it said nothing was connected, even though it passed the connectivity test. We've had the iPod for a few months but this is the first time we've tried to do anything with it. It's fully charged but just won't sync. I turned it off, turned it on. I reset it. I restarted the computer. I'm not sure where to go from here.
A couple of things to check:
Are there any backups listed in iTunes/settings/devices? Since backing up is the first step of the sync process, iTunes might be stuck trying to read the content of the last backup in order to replace it with the new one.
Copy the whole backup folder to a safe place, delete the backup from the list afterwards and make sure that the folder has no content after that. The folder is located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files
After that, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". If you can backup manually, transfer your purchases the same way, to copy apps and purchased media to your iTunes. If this worked, you should be able to sync again.
To speed up the sync process, copy your photos to your computer prior to the sync and delete them on your ipod before you start.

My iTunes store won't load.
It used to load.
When my sister got her iPod a long time ago, she set up an account to buy music from the itunes store. It worked then.
I don't know what's happened since then, but we don't know the password, or account name.
But it doesn't matter, because when I try to log on with this account (which I made to post this) it gives me the same message as when I click on Genius or iTunes store...
Message:
"_*iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store.*_
Make sure your connection is active then try again. "
I've looked at the troubleshooting options, and flushed my DNS. Deleted Norton completely, same with another antivirus, and windows firewall is disabled, and allows iTunes.
Can anyone give me any help? I have an acer computer running Windows Vista Home Premium. I've got the latest (9.0.1?) itunes, that I just downloaded. But even before that, I had between 7-8 and it would NOT work.Problems connecting to the iTunes Store often stem from issues with the Windows firewall or a firewall in a router, a privacy filter (such as McAfee Internet Privacy Service or Norton Internet Security), an antivirus/antispyware utility, or a download accelerator. Start here:
iTunes for Windows: Overview of Music Store Errors
for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. What you need to do is temporarily disable any such service and see if that fixes the problem. If so, then if it's a firewall/Internet filter that's causing the problem and you'll need to set the offending service to allow iTunes to connect to the iTunes Store.
Hope this helps. -
TV Shows and .mov won't sinc to ipod touch
Some TV shows I bought (from itunes store) for ipod video won't sinc with ipod touch 32g. Also, some .mov files (I made) won't transfer to touch. I've tried every logical thing I can think of to make this work but to no avail. Does Apple have a fix for this?
ThanksI'm not trying to sound bad, but did you make sure you have the option checked in iTunes to sync movies/videos? I had this same "problem" and freaked out for a good hour before I noticed the default in itunes is set to NOT sync anything but music. Double check that you have the box checked to sync videos and that the files are in itunes.

Itunes U won't sync to my ipod nano
I downloaded various itunes U podcasts. I selected them to be included on my nano, however they won't transfer over. I tried selecting only some, all, all unplayed, etc. No matter what I choose they won't show up on my Nano. This is particularly odd because I had earlier podcasts from one of these on my Nano previously without issue.
Well I finally solved it on my own. here's what I did:
With my Nano connected I turned on the sidebar in iTunes so it shows you your iPOD connected.
I then clicked on "Jeff's Nano" within the iTunes sidebar, and in the middle of the iTunes screen found the menu that allows you to select "manually manage music and videos", deleted a couple of songs from my library to make sure it was not too much for my NANo, running low on disk space.
I then tried to re-sync. Again it synched but no song downloaded to Jeff's Nano.
So I de-selected the options menu selection back to automatically synch with the iPOD (removed checkbox next to manually control...), and when I did that iTunes said something like this:
" The Ipad -NAME- is synced with annother itunes library. Do you want to erase this Ipad and sync with this itunes library?"
Strange since I only have one library, my current one.
So I said yes, let it erase and sync with it. It took about 30 minutes for it re-write over 3770 songs to my nano, but this time, it did copy finally my purchased song along with a couple of other MP#s that were not making it onto my Nano.
the key in my case, was allowing the Nano to erase, and resync and reload the full library. We'll see going forward if I'm able to continuously add songs again. -
Ringtones Screwed Up Since Update
I guess its been over a week and I still can't get my custom ringtones to work since the update. I've reset the phone twice. I have them in iTunes but for the life of me I can't get them over to the Phone.
My phone was working perfect...........I new I should have left well enough alone.Hi Feejer,
Were the ringtones purchased from iTunes?
Do they play in iTunes?
If iTunes is not authorized to play the ringtones they will not transfer to the iPhone.

TS4123 iTunes Store won't connect.
So my iTunes store won't open. It's just the continuous line with "Accessing iTunes Store" above it. I followed the directions here (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123) and the anti-virus it's finding is disabled. I'm kinda at a loss here since I can't update my iOS.
Okay ... most likely left-over registry key entries relating to PC Tools that weren't removed by the uninstall.
We'd better try resetting the Winsock registry keys. (That should clear the entries away.)

ITunes 11 won't take my .m4r files :/
I know this has been asked a million times, but I am having a serious problem with trying to get a ringtone on my phone :/ I have tried every solution I've found on here and everywhere else on the web where I've found a "solution" tons of people happy that their problems have been solved and so easily by everything I've tried, but I'm beginning to think that I am a unique case. I have gone through every step: selecting a file, get info, choosing section (the file is only 4 seconds long), creating an AAC version, moving the AAC to the desktop, changing it from .m4a to .m4r, deleting both .mp3 and .aac files from my library, aaaaaaaaaaaand that's where it goes wonky :/
I've tried to drag it into iTunes, it won't accept it. Simply put, nothing happens at all.
I've tried to go under file and "Add file to library" to no avial.
I've gone into the files and created a folder for Tones and added it to that; nope.
I've removed the .mp3 file and then used iTunes to "locate" the .m4r file. This makes it work on iTunes, but it wouldnt sync to my phone.
In my latest attempt, I went into iTunes media and dropped the .m4r file into the "Automatically add to iTunes". It vanished as soon as it went it, and a new Tones folder was created in media next to music. I lept for joy thinking I was done; but I should've known better :/ I sync'd my iPhone 4 and sure enough, the file was not there under tones.
I give up...
Someone please help :c thanks in advanceThis is embarassing... Problem solved, I found another page that told me I had to go into iTunes and tell the iPhone to sync tones. I had no knowledge of this step until now, very sorry. Everyone who see's this question, please remember to do that last step. All of my ringtones work now.

I'm facing a problem only for this account that whenever I purchase a ringtone after few hours it disappears from the sound and it happened with all the ringtones I purchased since 2 days. also when i visit the store from the same account to download the ringtones again i have to buy them again and again . Please try to fix this problem for me and refund my money back.
