ITunes Won't Let Me Make Ringtones of Songs That Are Listed to Work...

I bought Stadium Arcadium when it came out a year and a half ago on the iTunes store. Today I checked and it said the songs on it can be made into ringtones.
So I click on "Wet Sand" in my library, click "Store", then "Create Ringtone...". I got a message saying "'Wet Sand' by Red Hot Chili Peppers can no longer be made into a ringtone."
So I click on the little arrow next to "Wet Sand" in my music library and it gives me a new error message: "Stadium Arcadium will be available in the store on May 08, 2038."
Now what is up with that? The album is already in the store and will let me buy songs from it, but I don't want to because I already BOUGHT the CD; I just want to make ringtones out of it. So is this a common problem? And what do I do to fix it?

Im having the same problem.....they need to fix it ASAP I really dont want to buy my entire library over again

ITunes won't let me edit CD and song information?

I've added some cd's to my library and iTunes won't let me edit song information or add artwork.

There is a much easier way of solving this rather than converting all of the tracks to AAC..
1) Go to where the album folder is stored on your PC and right click on the folder.
2) Click on properties and unselect the box that says 'read only'. After clicking apply, click OK to confirm changes.
3) Now iTunes should let you edit the song info and add artwork

ITunes won't let me move ringtone to iPhone

Hi all,
My Mom has recently upgraded her iMac. Since then, she has wanted to put a new ringtone on her iPhone. I've tried to walk her through the steps (creating the .m4r, etc.) and she wasn't able to do it. So, since I happen to be over for the holidays, I thought I would give it a go. And now, I have found out why she's got problems... but I don't know the solution.
I've checked on the "Tones" tab on the iPhone listed on the left side of iTunes and I noticed that the "Synch Tones" was not checked. So, I checked it. And now, this is the message I'm getting:
"The iPhone “XX XX’s iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library." (Cancel) or (Erase and Synch) are the two options.
Now, there is no music on the iPhone (it's all saved on the iTouch and Nano) but there are about 300 photos. If I choose (Erase and Synch) will I lose anything from the iPhone or from iTunes? My guess is no... and that it won't touch the photos on the iPhone. My guess is that it won't erase anything (as there is no music to erase on the iPhone), but that it will transfer the entire iTunes Library onto the iPhone (which I don't want to do either, but I can remove that, I assume).
Can someone varify for me that clicking on the (Erase and Synch) will NOT delete the iPhone photos? I know they're backed up somewhere, but I'm just trying to figure this out for her before I leave.
Thanks very much and Happy 2013!
...Stacy

A reply to an old problem, but I couldn't find this solution anywhere. I had the same problem when I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. As Apple recommends, I used File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to copy my music files from my overstuffed hard drive to the external drive. Copying went fine for a while, adding about two-thirds of my files to the new drive without incident. Then I got the big stop sign with the error message: "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
This turned out to have nothing to do with either the hard drive or the external disk. I had a bad file in my music library that was shutting down the consolidation process. Unfortunately the error message says nothing about which file may be the culprit. All I could think to do was to go back to my original library in iTunes and sort by Artist, select all cuts with artists beginning with A, right click and select "Consolidate Files". Then do the same with B artists, etc. Proceeding this way, files resumed copying but when I got to the "S" selections, the consolidate process failed again. Then I selected smaller and smaller batches until the problem file was identified. Removed it from my library and then Consolidate worked fine through the rest of the library. Problem solved.
I spent several days working through this; hope I can save someone else the time.

ITunes won't let me re-purchase an album that I previously bought. What do I do?

My old iPod 4th generation got damaged and my warentee wasn't up so I got a new one. However, when I got home, I started downloading all my music that had been backed up to iCloud. But I bought an album on the mobile iTunes AFTER the last back up to iCloud and then got the new iPod. Now, when I go to the iTunes store to re-download it, it won't let me download it! This is my third iPod I've gone through so I've go on to iTunes and gotten previously purchased music before. But it won't let me download this one album. What do I have to do be able to get the album back on my iPod again?

What happens when you try? Be specific.

My Itunes won't let me buy apps or songs, and I can't even download the free ones

Hello. I have an iphone 5. Iv'e had it scince May of 2013 (this year). I really haven't had any problems before with Itunes, but I can't buy songs or apps, and I cannot even download the free apps! I have recently got an Itunes gift card for Christmas, and I put it into my Iphone, and Itunes says I have the money from the gift card. I started to notice this when I was my grandparent's house a few days ago for Christmas, and it wouldn't let me get an app, even though it was free. I thought it was because of a diffent type of WiFi or because I was at a different place, but when I got home, it still wasn't working. Whenever I try to buy or download something, it says, "Verification Info." I click continue, and it says that I need to buy money with a credt card, even though I have money in my account! This has also happend to my sister (she has an iphone 4). Please help!

Hi there,
The current file type is a VLC media file (.flac) (.flac), 34MB. I have never had any trouble adding music before, I have always been able to simply drag them into itunes and they have transferred perfectly so I don't have any idea what has changed.
iTunes does not support FLAC. The formats supported by iTunes are -
AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
In addition it is possible to import unprotected WMA files and during the import iTunes will make a new converted version (usually in AAC format).
If you are using iTunes on a Mac there is a complicated unofficial method that will let you add FLAC files in to iTunes but this is not possible with iTunes for Windows.
It is possible to use Apple Lossless in iTunes (as listed above this is officially supported) and use the same Apple Lossless files in Windows Media Player, Microsoft MediaCenter, foobar, WinAmp, dbPoweramp, VLC, and many others. Some of these need free plugins to add support for Apple Lossless but to illustrate it is possible, I have all my music in Apple Lossless (in iTunes), and share the same files with WMP and Microsoft MediaCenter.

ITunes won't let me drag and drop songs from library to my device. Recently replaced the harddrive and have authorized it with iTunes.

Recently had to replace my harddrive on my PC and files were not recoverable from the failed drive. Installed iTunes on the new drive and ripped some cd's into the library. However, I cannot transfer these songs to any of our "i" devices in the house. I authorized the new drive with iTunes and still no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you selected Manually Manage Music?

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Are you adding or changing your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

For some unknown reason, Itunes won't let me edit Audio info

So I recently synced 1891 songs to my iPhone 5. Whilst the process was completed successfully I noticed where in my itunes library all of the artists were organised accordingly. But suddenly, due to some kind of idiotic magic a lot of my music had missing information/wrong information. Oh well, this happens I thought placidly believing that all I had to do was fix the info myself. But lo and behold for some unknown reason Itunes won't let me edit any of the info of the music on my Iphone 5. Why? I don't know. But I know for a fact that none of the music is "Read-Only" because I check and I did the same process with the same files on a different computer. My new computer (currently using) is authorized and everything seems to be in order, I have no idea why this isn't working but some help would be appreciated. Please. I'm sick of having to read forum after forum after doing the simplest things on Itunes, please someone from Apple answer my question with efficiency, or create a less convulted program

Sounds like the ID3 tags are messed up on those songs.
iTunes imports using v2.2 tags. Convert the tags to v2.3 and try adding the artwork.
Right-click > convert ID3 tags
Also, make sure they are not read-only files.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom
