Moving song from playlist to ringtones

How do I move a 30' song from the playlist to the ringtones on my iphone 4s?

You can't directly.
You need to import into iTunes, convert into .m4r format on computer, import back to iTunes then sync back to your iPhone.

  • Tired of paying for Apple's continued failure. Give us option on phone (NOT thru itunes sync) to MANUALLY delete songs from playlists or the iphone altogether.

    It happens every time I make iTunes music purchases: entire playlists get wiped out, and all I can sync onto the iPhone 5 is what I just purchased, UNLESS, YET AGAIN, I completely restore it to factory and rewrite everything all over.
    So sad, Apple.
    Yes, I have looked thru the forum threads yet again, and found no other working solution.
    Yes, I tried backing up the phone 1st but still get stuck with (expletive) I wanted off the phone, and stuff I wanted on there, ISN'T there.
    For whatever (insert expletive of choice) reason, it will NOT sync my old playlists.
    For whatever (expletive) reason, if I check "manually manage music" under the Summary tab, then go over the music tab, something (expletive of choice)  up in the software decides to uncheck the "Manually manage music" box under the Summary tab, and it just creates a zero-progress loop where I can't sync the old playlists, or even new ones I create, onto the iphone.
    Worse, songs I tried to take off of it long ago seem to manifest the (expletive) right back onto the iphone out of nowhere, and unless I completely restore, LIKE I'M DOING AGAIN, there is no working option I have found that removes the song(s) I THOUGHT I GOT RID OF.
    PLEASE, Apple, is it asking too much to create a music sync that WORKS CORRECTLY all the time?
    It is ONLY ever the music that does this.
    App syncing, photo syncing, all of that functions properly each and every time.
    And yet, oh look, it won't accept any playlists off my AUTHORIZED computer.
    GIVE US THE SIMPLE option on the next iPhone update so we can manually remove/delete unwanted songs from playlists on the iphone, or from the iphone altogether, WITHOUT needing to connect it to a computer thru a faulty iTunes software that obviously consistently fails to properly sync the correct music on and take off what we don't want.
    This is the final time I'm making the mistake of iTunes Store purchases until a sensible fix is implemented that addresses this fail sync issue.
    Again, WHY is it ONLY and only ever the music syncing that (expletive of choice to get the point across) fails, yet apps and photos and mail & phone contacts sync correctly every time?
    Yes, I read in the forum threads and customer support responses what needs to be checked and/or unchecked, yet all too often some software fail decides to revert those selections right back to where they were if I click another tab and come back to it (no, it's not an administrator thing, I am the only authorized user on the computers in question).
      I'm tired of the hassle of having to redo my music library all over again, restore the phone, and hope that once more it will have the correct songs I told it to sync and NOT have a bunch of crap I never checked for it to have on there in the first place.
    FIX THIS PLEASE.

    You're welcome.

  • HT1386 moving songs from an iphone to a computer

    need help moving songs from an iphone to my computer

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use it to put everything back.

  • MOVING SONGS FROM PHONE TO SD CARD

    I have a Palm centro that I just syncd for the first time and moved songs from my computer to the phone but I want to know if I can move it to the sd card??  I have at&t with windows computer please.
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    You can move songs to the card via Hotsync, or if you download and install a freeware application called Filez, you should be able to do it directly on the Centro.  When you put them onto the card, you will want to put them into a file folder called audio right off the root directory of the card.

  • [iOS][Playlists] A quick "Remove this song from playlist" button

    So many times I've been listening to what I thought was a pretty awesome playlist that I've made, only to hit a track that just sucks! What was I thinking adding that to my list of best songs?! It would be great to have a quick way of deleting the offending and embarassing item from the playlist so that it can no longer bother anybody! Perhaps a button in the (...) drop-down menu, below the "Add to Playlist" button, and it might read "Remove from this Playlist".  I think that would be a pretty well-used feature on my spotify app!

    Updated: 2015-07-14Hello and thanks for the feedback!
    A similar idea has also been suggested here:

  • Having trouble moving songs from iPhone Music section to a playlist in 10.6.1

    I'm able to import songs from my computer to my iTunes just fine.  However, it seems that with version 10.6 of iTunes I can't drag a song from my iTunes Music section on my iPhone 4S to a playlist.  The song will highlight in the Music section but drag & drop are not working.  I don't recall having this problem in version 10.5 of iTunes.  Anybody else have this issue?  Is there a fix or do I have to wait for version 10.7?  Thanks for the assistance.

    Thank you for that. It all looks like it should work except for step 12:
    From the Advanced menu, choose Consolidate Library. A message appears that says: "Consolidating your library will copy all of your music into the iTunes Music folder. This cannot be undone."
    There is no button that says consolidate library. Not even on the example picture they have.

  • Moving songs from library to playlist in iPhone

    Hi all, I'm trying to move songs from my library to a playlist in my iPhone using iTunes in my Mac. Used to be able to just click and drag, but that doesn't seem to work. Help?

    Update your Mac OS. Apple menu > Software Update (or update your signature whioch shows Mac OS X 10.4.3).
    I highly suggest you create the playlist in iTunes, edit the playlist in iTunes then drag the playlist to teh iphone.
    Don't create it on the iPhone using iTunes.
    Which version of iTunes are you using?
    You have to check Manually manage Music & Videos on the Summary page.

  • Delete songs from playlist, library and off the hard drive at the same time

    I have playlists full of captured radio streams that I keep briefly for discovering new music. But periodically I want to clean them out. I know I can delete the files from the playlist, then go in and delete the song from the main library, and the authorize iTunes to go ahead and move those songs to the trash. But since these songs are nice and efficiently grouped by playlist, I want to have the option to delete the songs from the playlist and at the same time remove them from the main library and move the actual files to the trash. Any way to do this?
    I know the idea is to keep you from accidentally deleting your original song files just because you want to take them out of a playlist, but I want the option to get rid of them all together.

    Answered: Select the song in the playlist, hit command-option delete, and you'll get a dialog box with the option of leaving the song in the main library or moving it to the trash.

  • Moving songs from a shared music library on my laptop to my desktop

    I have the music libraries shared. But I cannot drag songs from my laptop music to iTunes in my desktop. Why not? These are not iTunes purchased songs but songs downloaded off internet in flac format, converted to aiff and loaded into iTunes on my laptop. I can play them but I cannot drag them into the desktop library. I want to put them on my iPod, which syncs with the desktop. I guess I'll have to burn them to cd to put them on the desktop. But it seems I should be able to copy from one shared library to another.

    I have the music libraries shared.
    Just to be clear, there is plain ol' sharing, and then there is "home sharing", the latter being an extension of the former. So, you turn on sharing, and then enable "home sharing", per those other articles I referenced in a prior post.
    But if you are technically proficient, as JG said, copying the files using the Mac Finder is the best option. Preserves playlists, rankings, artwork, etc. The iTunes "home sharing" is really well suited for keeping two machines libraries synced and is probably a tad easier, but for that initial copying/moving of a library, doing it at the Mac Finder option is best, if a tad more complicated.

  • Moving songs from itunes to iphone

    Before the last two updates I was able to move songs from itunes to my iphone 4s.  Now for the last two days when I attempt to move the songs not all of them are available once they are moved.  I will get some of the album but not all and in some cases they don't show up at all.   What is strange is that they show up on my iphone when it is connected to itunes under music.  They are not songs that show the cloud symbol they are songs that I have uploaded to itunes with cd's.
    thanks-Stuart 

    The iPhone will only sync music from one computer. Syncing to another will replace your playlists.

  • IPhone deletes 400 songs from playlist and syncs that to iTunes

    Hi there,
    I'm new on these forums, although I've been using iTunes (on a Windows PC) for many years.
    I got an iPhone 4s, set it up to use iCloud and iTunes Match.
    Now I chose to play a playlist (via Bluetooth) of about 500 songs randomly in the iphone. The phone downloaded the music via WLAN and played about 30 songs from that list. So far, so good.
    Next day I realized in iTunes that only these 30 songs remain on this particular list - and the other 450 or so were gone.
    I did change the list in iTunes prior to realizing this: I added an album, so it's these 30 songs + the new album.
    Since I haven't used an iPhone before, I'm a bit lost as to where the error lies. Have I done something wrong? Is iTunes Match not working correctly?
    Searching the web brought up many issues with iTunes Match, but nothing for this case.
    Of course, I can give more info, if you need it. So, is there anyone who has an explication for this? Thank you in advance!
    Best wishes,
    Volker

    On a Mac, use Option+Delete to:
    Delete the selected playlist and all the songs it contains from your library
    Delete the selected song from your library and all playlists
    You can find all the keyboard shortcuts in the iTunes Help menu > Keyboard shortcuts.

  • Moving songs from my ipod to my computer (itunes)

    Help!
    I am trying to get all my songs from my ipod to my itunes. The songs currently on my ipod are from different sources from my old computer that got a virus and died. Now, (with the exception of a few new songs on my new computer) I cannot get all my songs into itunes and they will only show up when I have my ipod plugged in. When I simply try to drag the songs from my ipod to my itunes library, it will not let me.
    What do I do??????

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions

    For more on the new function in iTunes 7 look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • How to set songs from music as ringtones for contacts

    How do I set songs from my music that is on the phone as ringtones for different contacts?

    Songs and ringtones have different formats.  They are not interchangeable.  You would have to convert a song into a ringtone.
    If you have a Mac, you could use the GarageBand app to do that.  If you have a PC, there are apps to do the conversion, but I cannot name one.

  • How to not add songs from Playlists to the library (duplicate entries)

    In my iTunes library, I have lots of songs showing up more than once. When I right-click Get Info it seems this is because I have them on playlists that are also in the library. Songs in multiple playlists can even show up more than twice.
    I know I can Show Duplicates but it would take me ages. Also I can't tell which songs are direct, and which are from a playlist, unless I right-click and Get Info individually (it probably doesn't matter, but I'd prefer to delete the playlist songs).
    How do I edit the preferences so that this doesn't happen, and songs in playlists aren't added again? I looked around preferences and couldn't find anything that seemed to be what I needed.
    Message was edited by: DaemonDragon

    "Go to Library - Music and click Show duplicates.
    Select a duplicate and right click - Show in Windows Explorer.
    Everything in the library should be pointing only to an actual file on your HD, not a song in a playlist."
    ...I'm not sure if you're saying that iTunes shouldn't be behaving like this, but it IS. I followed your instructions, selected Library - Music and clicked Show Duplicates... what I see is 511 entries, most in pairs, some triplets.
    Here's an example:
    Two identical entries (bitrate, files size, duration, etc., all the same) for Get Me by Everything But The Girl... clicking Show in Explorer for the first entry opens an Explorer window with the filepath:
    D:\Music\Everything But the Girl\Amplified Heart
    ...clicking the second entry opens the SAME Explorer window with the same contents but with the filepath:
    D:\Music\My Playlists\..\Everything But the Girl\Amplified Heart
    So are you saying that the only way to eliminate these duplicate entries is to individually click each one and check if it's pointing to the original song file or to a playlist that includes that song and then delete it manually? ...for 511 entries? ... and how do I prevent this from happening with any new music I add?
