Getting ringtones from music to tones...

I just imported some ringtones into iTunes. I did two sets. The first set I made as mp3s and they went to my tones folder when i said to sync it with my phone (5c). The second set went only into my music folder, even though they are also mp3s. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the second set into my tones folder. Please help me.

The message says " Tones are not avalible on this device a device that can run iOS 5.0 or later is required".
The latest iOS that an iPhone 3G can handle is 4.2.1

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.

How can I download movie trailer from Music Store for iPod?

Movie trailers are produced to attract audience to see the film, so there shouldn't be any coryright issues. But why is it that I cannot copy and paste or download movie trailers from Music Store onto my iTunes and iPod? If Apple puts it on the Music Store, it expects people want to transfer it to their iPod. Sometimes just could not understand what these people think!

Thanks ALpinaoman, I am afraid things (and life in the world of Apple) are not as simple as you described it. First of all, some movie trailers - when they are played - do not have a little drop down menu arrow to the far right. Secondly, after transferring (i.e. saving) the movie trailer onto the iTunes on my iMac, only a few can be updated onto the iPod, most can't. The error message on the iMac is: "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "breakfastonpluto.ref" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. Click More Info to visit www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301461 for more information on creating videos compatible with your iPod." What the xxxx is this ".ref" format? Why can't these stupid IT people sit down and agree on ONE format instead of MP4, MOV, AVi, WMV, asx etc etc etc.
I have used the video iPod for a month now and have all kinds of hurdles transferring video to the unit (easier for DVD, very difficult for VCD, got visual but no sound, etc etc). I have no idea how technically complex the whole thing was when I bought the iPod. I thought it was like recording your TV show on VCR which was low tech (well tech has advanced quite a bit since VCR was invented and tech was supposed to make life easier not more complicated). I guess I need to attend a one year training on computer engineering before I know how to use "user friendly" Apple products.

How to get ringtones from music folder

I really need help getting my purchased ringtones from the music folder to the rigntone folder. support is not helping.
All of my purchased ringtones show up in my music folder and not in my ringtone folder. Please HELP anyone

After performing a (Finder) Find for .aif files, I located the tracks and was able to delete the playlist (album) folder with the tracks. So no assistance needed after all.
However, inexplicably, the folder with the tracks to be deleted was located in iTunes Music folder > Compilations folder, rather than in the artist folder. After finding and moving the folder of the tracks to the Trash, I checked the info of the original CD in iTunes out of curiosity and discovered that "Part of a compilation" was checked for the tracks, even though this is not a compilation (or even a live) album. I assume this sort of...tagging, I guess...was originally imbedded in the CD and is not a result of any glitch in iTunes. In fact, in the Compilations folder, I noticed several albums which are not compilation albums. I'd appreciate any thoughts or explanations as to why some non-compilation albums are checked as compilation albums.
Thanks,
Paul

Unable to move ringtone or music by drag and drop and other ways.

Hello,
I recently got a new computer and its Windows 7. I downloaded iTunes, the newest version (11.1.4.62), on 1/31/2014. On my previous computer I had older version of iTunes and was able to simply drag and drop everything.
In this new version I found trouble with adding music but I figured that out. Next I wanted to add a ringtone but I was having trouble. I was able to add the ringtone to itunes-Library-Tones (format m4r) but after this I am unable to add it to devices-tones. I tried drag and drop, I tried sync and it simply wont work. If i try to drag and drop a song straight to my devices it wont allow that either. I am even unable to delete any songs that I have on my iphone through iTunes. I also had voice memos on m phone and I cant even edit that section or voice memos.
Someone please help! this is very frustrating that I can't remove, add, edit my iphone through iTunes.

Is ther a way to get a ringtone from music

is there a way to get a ringtone from your music. Also can u pair music to contacts?

To make ringtones:
http://osxdaily.com/2010/09/04/make-free-iphone-ringtones-in-itunes-10/
And yes, you can assign ringtones to contacts. See the manual for instructions.

I upgraded from an iPhone2 to an iPhone4s now I can't sync the ringtones from music that I purchased from itunes to correspond with my contacts. How can I get it where I know who is calling from the ringtones I used to have?

I upgraded from an iPhone2 to an iPhone4s and now my ringtones are gone. I still have the music that I bought from iTunes that I made the ringtones from but I can't seem to get anything to work. Help! Thanks.

For the font problems, try the "Safe Mode" suggestion in this old thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1956989&start=20
...Found by doing THIS. Also see this Apple doc:

How to hide ringtones from Music Library on N97 mi...

Hello,
The title speaks for it's self i think.
I want to hide my personal ringtones (on the mass storage drive) from my Music library as it is quite annoying to hear your ringtones when listening to good music... The folder with the Nokia ringtones I can't find....
So, how can I do this?
Greetings,
Redmer

There is a very easy way to do this. This method does not involve keeping your sound files 'hidden'. This means your files will still be accessible from other apps. Also, you DO NOT not need to hack your phone for this.
http://lagenda4046s603rd.blogspot.com/2010/08/13-all-mods-pack-in-sis.html
This little app will let you do exactly what you want. The music library will now only look in E:\music (memorycard>'music' folder)
HOWEVER, when you install it, it will still show your ring tones and other sound files, but it wont show any further sound files that you add to your phone unless you put them in E:\music. THERE IS A VERY EASY WAY AROUND THIS:
BEFORE INSTALLING Just hide all the sound files you don't want in your music library (make files 'hidden'), then install '13 all mods' (link above), then unhide those sound files.
Now your music library will ONLY show music in E:/music AND your other sound files remain unhidden, so other apps can use them normally.
Enjoy!
There are also other options during install. All of the features are optional during install. Your phone may not support all the options, but hopefully it will work for the music library function.
When you install, it may say 'phone not supported', BUT INSTALL IT ANYWAY. This just means that not all the extra options will work for your phone (e.g. disable nokia hands), but you should expect the music thing to work properly.
Note: this app will not show an icon in you menu, but it will be in you app list in 'application manager'. There, you can uninstall it, and this will undo any features you selected i.e. it will show all your sound files, ring tones and anything else you selected etc.
Regards and Good luck

Ringtone from music I own?

I have purchased some music which is now showing up with the little ring tone symbol. I've already purchased the music but to make a ring tone iTunes wants to charge me another 99 cents? Does this make sense?

We already have the ability to sync our own music files to the iPhone, maybe Apple should look at the trade off of lost profits for iTunes/Ringtones vs. user satisfaction at being able to utilize our own content as ringtones. A move in this direction combined with support for 3rd Party applications that may be headed our way after the Feb. release of the iPhone SDK should do nothing else but boost sales of the iPhone. Maybe if enough folks push feedback to Apple we may see some adjustments made?

Help with setting Ringtones from music MP3 files

New blackberry user....i have all my mp3's on my memory chip and now i need to know how to move them to "My ringtones? folder and then also how to have them just shuffle.
thank you
Michelle

The easiest way to manage music and ringtones would be to use the device as mass storage (I have listed the link below on how to enable this mode).
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=28033
Once the mode is enabled, use the USB cable to plug in your device and computer. The computer should find the device, and you will be able to manage the folders and files on your SD card.
To assign a music file as a ringtone, you can click on the following link below:
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=17080
***To shuffle the music that you would like to listen to, you can select the “shuffle songs” option in the media folder under the music icon.
I hope this was helpful!

Trying to create ringtones from music. Why does my itune page not show a ringtone tab?

Downloaded free app "ringtonemaker". instructions say to save it then select ringtone tab. My screen shows summary, info,apps, etc. but no ringtones tab.

It's now called Tones. Go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.

UK iPhone! Since i cant convert a ringtone from music purchased in UK

What other way is there, i tried looking up some previous posts but it all looks very complicated and i cant work it out.
Anyone give me an uncomplicated step by step way of getting my own ringtones on my iphone?

Take any audio file
Make sure that it is in the AAC format.
Make sure that it is less than 30 seconds long.
and
Rename it with .m4r as a file extension.
Once you have the file, import it into iTunes - and it will be synced onto your iPhone.
That's all you have to do.
You can use Garageband to do the editing. If you are on a Mac.
If you already have a bunch of MP3 ringtones - load them into iTunes. Convert them to AAC. Drag the AAC files onto your desktop. Rename them as .m4r - and load them back into iTunes.
