Making a ringtone with itunes

Having a problem when trying to make a ringtone with the songs in my itunes music library. When I click on the bell next to the title the ringtone page starts to come up. But then it asks that I log into itunes first. So my Mac ID is highlighted and it asks for my password. I type in my password and it doesn't work. I've tried changing it and still won't let me get into the ringtone design page for that particular song. Ideas?

Perhaps these will help:

Iphone does not sync ringtone with itunes

My iphone 4 does not sync ringtone with itunes. I created a new ringtone in itunes ( file.m4r) , tagged it and started syncing with my iphone, but the new ringtone does not show among the ringtones in my iphone

Now it works, don't know how, but iot works, since I changed into sync manually started a sync process unsuccessfully and get back to re-sync automatically.
Used sync all ring tones instead of sync selected ones, but I tried this before and it did not work.
Very strange, should have been this change, otherwise I really dont't know why it works now and not before

Creating a ringtone with iTunes (after song selection) is difficult!

Hey-
I'm having an issue with creating ringtones using the built in ringtone maker in iTunes after purchasing a eligable track from the iTunes store. There are some ringtones that I found on the iTunes store. There is one purchase where you get 6 seperate ringers (but in one audio file). I place the slider bars at the beginning of the ringer I want and then at the end of that ringer. When I go to play it back to make sure I'm getting what I want, it's not playing the correct ringer that it should be playing, but rather either the first ringer, or the 4th ringer...very odd! I know how to 'trim' clips as I do this daily with Windows Movie Maker...left slider starts at where you want the tune to start, the right slider stops at where you want the tune to end...very simple! Yet with the ringtone maker built into iTunes, it doesn't seem to work that way at all.
The tune that I am referring to is called "6 (or six) business ringtones" in iTunes (just do a search it will pop up)! It is one audio file, with 6 different ringtones in the file, the total file length is like 30 seconds (give or take). Well I like the 2nd ringtone. So after I bought the file, I then went into the ringtone maker in iTunes and dragged the slidders where the 2nd ringtone starts and ends, I then play it back but it doesn't play what I trimmed. Instead it plays other parts of the file (as in the 5th and 6th ringers or the 1st ringers or it starts playing the end of the 1st ringer and combines it into the 2nd ringer that I want. It doesn't seem to do what it's suppose to do and it's really starting to tick me off! I have all these charges from the iTunes store where I have been repeating trying to make the file because it's not working correctly and I'm getting all these charges on my credit card. All I want is for the ringtone maker to work correctly and make my tone as I'm telling it to do, but it won't. Does anyone know how to make this darn thing work correctly? If it wasn't for the file being DRM'd, I would drag it into my own program and do it myself with something I know works correctly. This clearly does not work correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

How to create ringtones with itunes?

ok how do i go about creating ringtones with the music in my playlists in itunes? and how do i transfer ringtones that are on my computer to the ringtone library?

Everyone seems to have their way to make a ringtone. There are aspects of Garage Band which I find cumbersome, but you need Garage Band to create and transfer your ringtone to your iTunes library. Try this.
1. Download and install Audion 3, a free Mac mp3 editor (http://www.panic.com/Audion/
2. Open Audion 3, then under File go to "open mp3 in editor.
3. Navigate to your song via home/music/itunes/itunes music to the folder and then mp3 you want to make into a ringtone
4. Identify which brief section you want for your ringtone, say from 22 seconds to 52 seconds of the song, drag and highlight that section in the mp3 editor, then under Edit click on Copy.
5. Go back to Audion 3 and under File click on New mp3 editor. Paste your saved file into that space. Under File again click Save As, give it a name and the suffix .mp3, save to your desktop.
6. Open Garage Band, iPhone ringtones, loops, choose
7. Delete anything which Garage put in main space, then drag your mp3 into that space. After it sets up, go to share and send ringtone to iTunes.
8. Sync. Be sure your check Sync all Ringtones, otherwise you have to individually click on your new rintone.

Creating ringtones with iTunes.

I have an apple lossless song which I created to mp3 format. I dragged the selected ringtone piece out onto my desktop and changed it to m4r. I then deleted the piece from itunes and emptied the trash. Upon opening the file, nothing happens. Did apple fix this trick from happening or am I uninformed on something?

How can I synch a ringtone with iTunes Match

Hi all,
I am using iTunes Match and I've made a song into a ringtone.
I see the song in my iTunes in a folder named "ringtones" so I suspect Apple recognises it as a ringtone.
When I synch my iPhone (5s) however, I can't find the ringtone in my iPhone.
So either I'm searching in the wrong place, or it isn't synchronised.
Because I am using iTunes Match for my music, I suspect that could be causing the problem.
Any tips?
Best regards,
Peter

I've tried to follow the step-by-step guide.
However, I don't have the option "Creat AAC version". When I go and check via Finder, my songs already are AAC version. So I made a copy of the song in question in finder, I've double-clicked it to open in iTunes and then I adapted the playing time to 27 seconds. Afterwards I copied it my desktop, deleted the file in iTunes and changed the extension on the desktop to m4r.
When I check it in Finder, it says in the properties "ringtone" (while my other music is "Apple MPEG-4-audio"), which leads me to assume that iTunes does indeed recognizes it as a ringtone. Is this a correct assumption or not?
In the iTunes tab ringtones however, nothing appears. When I synch there's no ringtone on my iPhone.

Can you record sounds and save as a ringtone with the IPhone4?

I'm new to the IPhone. All other phones I' ve used in the past I could save sounds and use them as a ringtone. I just can't seem to figure it out with the I4. Can it be done?

You can record sounds with the Voice Memos app, then sync them to your computer by selecting "Include voice memos" on the Music tab of y0ur iTunes sync settings and syncing your phone. Once synced to your computer they will appear in a Voice Memos playlist that iTunes creates on the left sidebar. Then you have to convert it to a ringtone using iTunes as shown here: Create free ringtones with iTunes 10. After this is done, you can check the ringtone in your iTunes library, then check Sync Tones on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync. Custom ringtones will appear in Settings>Sounds>Ringtone at the top of the list.

Problem With Ringtones in iTunes

Okay so I've never tried the ringtone thing before and I tried it out last night and it worked fine. Now today, I get to my computer and click on the "Create Ringtone" tab thing. It goes through the "processing" load bar and then it goes to the ringtone creator, but then this iTunes window comes up saying "This song cannot be made into a ringtone. Insert Song Name Here by Insert Band Name Here can no longer be made into a ringtone." I tried it again, and this time the rejection window came up immediatly. How can I get rid of this and make ringtones with any of my songs?

yeah but for me it never even let me get to the purchase part, it just rejected me after like 1.5 seconds the first time, now it just doesn't load the song/ringtone editor, it just rejects me.....

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!

Purchased ringtone disappeared when syncing with iTunes

I purchased a ringtone using iTunes store on my iPhone and was able to enjoy it for a day before I synced the iPhone with iTunes on my computer. A Window appeared stating "[the ringtone] was not copied to iPhone because you are not authorized to play it on this computer". So now the ringtone is visible in iTunes, but it disappeared from the iPhone... and it annoys me because I paid for the ringtone...!
My question is: how do I get the ringtone back on my iPhone?!

I had done all of that to no avail. I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again. I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped. Everything is good to go again. thanks for your reply

Bought 2 ringtones from iTunes an got both songs but saying payment problem with 1 of the songs and when I go to check card details its correct an it not giving me an option to delete card but keep getting MSG sayin payment processing unavailApp Store

I have bought 2 ringtones Rome iTunes which I have received but it won't let me delete card details as saying payment error with second song but I have it on phone an now it's saying payment processing is not available an d cannot get any free apps form App Store either how can I sort this

See this thread for background on why iTunes can end up with duplicates and how they can be systematically removed. The script there is for Windows users and the "show duplicates" menus have moved around in iTunes 11, but the advice on clearing recently made duplicates should still hold.
As given in my older post "Reorganize library" is meant as a one time command to change the structure of a pre-iTunes 9 library into the newer layout that places music in its own subfolder of the media folder. Once used, if the option becomes available again that suggests that a file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in the media folder has been deleted or editied.

How do I create ringtones from iTunes songs with Garageband?

I have an iPhone 5s. Is it possible to convert itunes songs into ringtones with Garageband ios?

Yes, you can, if you sync your iTunes songs to the Music.app.
See this Help-Page:

Share a GarageBand song as a ringtone or text tone
In the My Songs browser, tap the Select button, then tap the song you want to export (or touch and hold the song).
Tap the Action button , then tap Share Song As Ringtone.The Export Ringtone panel opens, showing the name for the ringtone. By default, the ringtone uses the same name as the song.The maximum length for exported ringtones is 30 seconds. If the exported ringtone exceeds the maximum length, a dialog appears. Tap Continue to have GarageBand shorten the ringtone automatically, or tap Cancel to return to the song so you can shorten it.

Why can't I sync ringtones on my iphone with itunes? Using iOS7 and iTunes11.

I can't seem to find a way to sync my ringtones on to my iPhone. I'm syncing all ringtones. I've tried syncing selected ringtones with all selected. I've tried turning the phone off and back on, unplugged and replugged into my computer (Windows 7). No luck. I've Googled the issue and all I've found are items from 2011 or older. Help. An iPhone without custom ringtones is a terrible thing. lol.

P.S. I'm wonder if it is a problem with iTunes or with my phone?
