How do I move a song from Music to Tones to make it my ringtone?

In my Itunes Library, how do I move a song from Music to Tones so I can make it my ringtone on my iphone

Right mouse click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & 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
Right mouse click the mp3 again and choose “Create AAC Version”
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.
Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
*Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
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.

I want to change audiobook from music to audiobook

In the other versions of iTunes I could change a ripped audiobook from music to audiobook and it was synced and handled differently than music. When I go to these files in iTunes 12 the list is there but changing it to audiobook does nothing. The audiobook remains in music and doesn't move over to the audiobook section. How can i fix this?

Working here. Are you changing Media Kind on the Options tab?

How can I correct a file moved from music to audiobook ?

I moved files from music to audiobooks. One audiobook has combined chapters 7 and 2 instead of creating two separate "books." How can I split off one of those chapters into a separate book?
I need to add that I have not figured out how to merge all chapters into one book yet. I am elated to just get those books out of the music category. For the time being, I can live with each chapter showing up as a sort of separate book.
Thanks in advance for any help.

What will be downloaded to your Mac is an Installer app named Install OS X Mountain Lion (or something to that effect) which you will find in the Applications folder. Copy that to a backup media or another Mac.

In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" with a number of playlists in the OPTIONS menu from "music" to "audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check the items have reverted back to "music". What step am I missing?

After more digging in the Support section here and some Google work, I turned off iTunes Match and lo and behold! I can change the media kind to Audiobook! So, it looks like iTunes Match locked the files up somehow and for some reason.
I went into iTunes Store > iTunes Match > "No, Thanks" to disable it on the local PC.

Change Media Kind from music to audiobook for multiple files

I was able to change the files one at a time but...
I was unable to "Change/edit media kind" from music to audiobook when selecting more than 1 file.
This fixed it
I just updated Itunes to 11.2.2 and it now works just fine. Make sure you have the most recent version of Itunes.

I can't change info (options) from Music to AudioBook

When I record an audiobook it is recorded under music. Once it is recorded I was always able to change the options from Music to Audiobook by using 'Get Info' options. I can do this with some CD's but not others. Also if an Audiobook has 5 CDs I used to be able to change all 5 at one time from Music to Audiobook. Now this doesn't work at all. I was running Itunes 10 on Windows 7 but now am running Itunes 11 on Windows 8. I don't know if it's the itunes verson or the platform. Anyone out there know how to force this change?
Thanks,
Vicki

Check to see if iMessage is activated. Also, make sure the other party has iMessage activated. Sending an iMessage requires both parties, the sender and the receiver to have an active internet connection. If iMessage is active, the check your Send & Receive and make sure your phone number is checked. After that, you may need to delete the conversation that you have with that contact, however I've not experienced that when I have an individual send problem with a contact. It will usually pick up that they are connected to data again.

How can I change file to Podcast from Music or Audiobook?

I am frustrated with how some of my files are automatically categorized. For example, I listen to podcasts of This American Life on my iPod. If I purchase them, they show up as Audiobooks. If I get them from the podcast, they show up under Podcasts. If I get them from CD, they show up as music. How can I move them so they are all in the same place. I thought maybe I could drag them, but that doesn't work.

Thanks! I didn't know about that. Unfortunately, "Podcast" isn't an option. So if it's something I normally get as a podcast, but occasionally get from another source, is there a way to put the files under Podcast? Or do I need to move it all to Music in order to have it consolidated?

Transfer audiobook from music to audiobook in itunes?

Hi,
Sorry if this has been discussed before but I have imported an audiobook into the "music" sector and cant seem to move the tracks to the proper audiobook location . Is this possible as Ive tried what seems to be averything. Trouble is when I download to my ipod (video generation) it all goes in the music section there too! Help tia.

First- - thanks for all your help here.
OK did all that and finally it transferred trouble is I dont get the tracks running in sequence now!
The original stuff is short monologues on two discs with 17 and 19 tracks apiece. I altered the tracks to show sequence from 1 to 36 but this seems to have jumbled in the ipod so I get 1 then 10!! and they dont flow continuously but stop at the end of each track. I did something wrong here I know but can I correct or just reload from disc again?

How do I move an audiobook from "Music" to "Audiobooks" in the Library?

I've got one audiobook (403 parts) and it's listed under Music in my Library. I've just added the Audiobooks heading for the Library, but can't see how to move the audiobook so it's listed under that heading.
TIA,
Monte

With iTunes 8.x or later you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that now make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. The main issue is that the iPod lists all audiobook files by track title/chapter name so unless you rename every track using a scheme such as *Book Title, Chapter XX* (make that XXX for 403 parts) the tracks will play out of sequence. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore it's Audiobooks feature and use my own playlists for access.
Note that I've used leading digits in the playlist names to arrange these in chronological rather than alphabetical order.

I would like to move my huge iTunes library music from external HD 1 to a bigger external HD 2. I would like to make HD 2 as my only reference and after delete any iTunes files on the HD 1. Already chosen the new media location and checked "keep media folder organized".
Then should I Consolidate files or Reorganize under Organize library?
Should I use export library?
Can you please give a clue what steps should I take?
These are questions you should ask before you do anything.

How to transfer audiobook files from 'music' to 'audiobooks' folder

How do I transfer an audiobook downloaded from the web from my music lists to my audiobooks folder. Or how can I download directly to the audiobooks folder. It always defaults to music on my Ipod nano

Hi,welcome,
If you click the audio book then go to file > get info then go to options > media kind then choose audio book from the drop down menu. You will also need to check the box underneath that that says: remember play back position, then just hit OK.
It should now come up as an audio book
Hope that helps, let me know

Keep movies physically separated from music. How?

I'd like to keep my movies on a different separate directory and not just 'in' iTunes *). I can do that by alt-dragging the movies to iTunes. The effect is however that I cannot set any information for those movies, not genre, etc. As a result they show up as one undifferentiated list in Apple TV.
Is there a way around this? Can I have two physical locations for my iTunes stuff?
*) This is because I rsync the library with my MBA for use on the road, but it takes up too much space on the MBA if I include the movies.

On my Apple wireless keyboard, the key is labeled "alt" and has the old Apple option sign.
ah yes. fair enough.
So one iTunes library can have the music/movies stored in two physical locations? Say, one directory for music and one for movies? How?
you can move selected content to another location by changing +*iTunes media folder location+* (preferences > advanced) to the desired location (an external HD or another internal HD), selecting (highlighting) the content in iTunes, right-clicking, and choosing +consolidate files+.
again, above technique assumes you have the +*copy to+* option enabled. the operation will copy the selection to the location specified earlier. when done, you can delete the original files in order to make room. don't forget to point +*iTunes media folder location+* back to its original settings afterwards.
i haven't tried with movies or tv shows, but there is also a script that can automate the process:
[_*Re-Locate Selected v1.1*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected]
This script will re-locate the files of the selected iTunes tracks from their current location to a new user-chosen folder. iTunes will be updated with each track's new location and all of each track's meta-data will be preserved. Option to remove the files from their original location. (I don't advise using this on more than an album's worth of tracks or so at a time; re-locating dozens of tracks' files to a single folder doesn't seem to make much sense to me.)
NOTE: If your "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" preference set, you will not be able to create new folders in or re-locate files within the iTunes Media folder; outside is OK.
