Music library - tones

i recently transferred a load of music onto my new n97. most of the songs have gone into the music library. but some of them haven't. they are on my phone as i can use them as ringtones...there isn't any difference to the songs in terms of type of file etc.
does anyone know why they didn't go into the music library? and how i can transfer them into it?!
thanks

When you sync your iPhone are you telling iTunes to sync the tones?
Select your iPhone from the Devices list and then go to the 'Tones' option and make you choice.
You can also check in iTunes prefs>General - that the Show 'tones' option is checked so you can see your tones in iTunes.

HT203433 How do I move tones that are in my music library to my ringtones and alerts on my iphone 4s

Downloaded two ringtones on my 4s that are now in my music library. How do I move them to my ringtones and alerts.

it's very easy, I have just started using iphone 4, and have struggled with lots of things. Go to Apps store and search for Free Ringtone Maker it's made by Wondershare Software Co and it's free. It's not compatible with Lion. It may also not work with iphone 5 although I dont know.
Install it and open it follow simple instruction to drag your choice onto its page and click. It really is that easy, then go to your sounds page on iphone and it will be at thwe top in a new heading called CUSTOM.
I am using iphone 4gs with 4.2 os so it defo works with these or lower models. Hope this helps
PS it stays on your mac not on your iphone, thats why you drag from itunes then do a new sync to your phone.

How do I get a purchased ringtone from my music library to Ringtones?

I've purchased a couple of ringtones from itunes but they downloaded into my music library and I can't figure out how to move them to the Ringtones folder in my library. I tried going back to itunes and downloading them directly onto my phone but they show "purchased" and will only play, not download.
TIA
alice

No, what I actually purchased was a ringtone. I actually purchased it on my iphone from contacts by selecting a contact, clicking edit, clicking ringtone, clicking "buy buy more tones", being taken to the "tones" section of the itunes store, finding the tone I wanted in the "tones" section of the itunes store and buying it. It download as an m4r file and remains in m4r file. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I cannot get this m4r ringtone file that I purchased from the itunes store "tones" section from the music folder in itunes media to the ringtones folder.

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.

HT1349 I just purchased new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to. How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this. I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes. I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you. I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud. So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out. There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service. As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough. Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree. But thank you for reading and replying.

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

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

How to Find and Restore Itunes Mini Lost music library?

Is there a way to retrieve my Itines music library? I have a Ipod mini. I deleted Quick time before having my computer hard drive cleaned of most programs. I then downloaded the new version of I tunes 7.1 which won't sync. It tells my I have a another library 6.0 i think, and do i want to sync and erase one of them. I can't find the old library. i'm not sure about that but I simply can't find my old version anymore. I'm lost and need help.

you can copy files off ur ipod with programs like copypod, search backup ipod in google, tons of programs come up

ITunes Music Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54)

I just went through the problem of not being able to access my iTunes library and think I got that fixed. It is on an external drive because it is about 55gb's of HD space. I have it linked via an alias on my internal drive of my powerbook.
Now I get this message: The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).
First question: If Apple has tagged it with a -54 then it wouldn't be unknown would it?
Second question: I can still play music through iTunes, this dialogue just keeps coming up, with the option to not warn me again. Is it anything to worry about?
Thanks for any help.

Please let me know what you decided to do with this problem. I am suddenly getting the same "error" message. Well, except that my "unknown error" is tagged as (-50). I'm searching through the discussions now.
I had some trouble with iTunes earlier in the week (after wiping out my iPod and other not-so-helpful "tips" on here) I wound up reinstalling Quicktime. But it worked fine until just now.
Now keep in mind, I subscribe to tons of podcasts and add new music both from iTunes Music Store and other sources all the time.
thanks,
bob

HELP! Large portion of my music library doesn't work!

I recently got a new MacBook, so I moved the location of the music library. Now, tons of music doesn't work. The mp3 files exist but don't show up in iTunes and can't be opened by iTunes or Quicktime, or any other program I've tried. In the finder, my itunes library folder is 12.78 gb larger than what shows up in iTunes. Therefore, 12.78 gb of my music is not working!! Please help me!
Thank you

Go to your Home\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music folder. Click it once. Click File and choose Get Info (or ⌘-I). Go to Ownership & Permissions, and click Details.
Make sure YOU are the owner and can read & write in EVERY category, and Apply to the entire contents fo the folder. (This may take a while) then try to re-add the missing files. One in a while I'll download something from an MP3 "buysite" and it will be "locked up" until I modify the permissions, allowing me to access my purchased songs.

Workaround: 5800 XM Music Library fetches all user...

Unlike the Nokia 5300 which had a folder for tones and such that the music library seemed to not read, the 5800 appears to scan all non-Nokia memory areas on the phone and card. This means that any ringtone or alert tone stored anywhere is fetched and put into the Music Library. This is not proper functionality.
So, to Nokia, you should upgrade the Refresh Library code to permit the user to Include or Exclude file paths, or design specific paths for sound effects which should not be considered music.
However, a kludge for this is prior to executing Refresh Library, either move the files off the 5800 to a PC or if there are not many, rename them by stripping off one or more characters from the filename extension.
Then, after refresh completes, the tone files will be gone, and you can rename them back. Hackish, I know, but it is what it is. Unless someone has a more elegant solution :-).

Say if i have 100 ringtones, do you want me to change the file ext of each tone manually?
Is there an alternative to rename all of the file exts in bulk?
If this does not work then the workaround you have given is waste.

Will I be able to copy my music library from my PC to I pad and listen to it at a remote place without sync and without I tunes match?

Will I b able to copy my music library from PC to I pad while sync and listen to it without sync at a remote place. Is it possible without iTunes Match?

Yes. As long as all your songs you lost have been Matched or Uploaded to iTunes Match you can download your entire library from the cloud.
It might take some time though

IPod touch will no longer sync with my music library on iTunes since restoring to factory settings

I had to restore the ipod when it locked my son out as he'd forgotten the passcode.
I have around 1000 songs in my music library on itunes. Sync all songs is checked, but it saying there are 0 songs.
I'd like to sync all songs to the ipod. Can anyone help please?

Syncing is iTunes keeping your iTunes library (or a defined portion of the iTunes library) "in sync" (the same as) the library on your iPod. And iTunes syncing of content generally goes in one direction only, from iTunes library on computer to the iPod. That's why, if you want to sync it to a NEW iTunes library, iTunes is warning you that the existing library on the iPod will be replaced.
So, you cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library. Once your iTunes library is consolidated with ALL of your songs, you can sync your iPod to it.
NOTE: If you have songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store on the iPod, you can re-download them at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS.

In the latest verision of ITunes (downloaded yesterday) I can no longer see how large (in GB's) my music library or playlists are. This is a very valuable function and it seems to have disappeared. Anyone know where it is?
