Problems creating ringtones in iTunes 9.0.2 and 9.0.3

I have had problems creating ringtones for my iPhone in iTunes versions 9.0.2 and 9.0.3. When I select "create ringtone" when right clicking on a song, iTunes brings up the bar at the bottom for creating ringtones then says...
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unexpected error occurred (11556). Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
1. My network connection is active. 2. I am logged into my iTunes store account.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and better how to fix it?

You can buy them from the iphone itself. Instructions can be found in the manual:

There are many ways to make ringtones. Google "iphone ringtone" and you will find instructions.

Create Ringtones in iTunes 10- AAC Version greyed out

Need assistance creating ringtones in iTunes 10:
I have iTunes 10 on a Windows PC. I went into Preferences, General, IMPORT SETTINGS and set it to AAC Encoder and HIGH QUALITY (128 bkps) and checked the Error Correction.
The AAC Version in the ADVANCED drop down is still showing as being GREYED out after selecting an MP3 with 0 and 30 seconds as the time limits in GET INFO for a song.
I have searched for a possible "fix" to get the AAC Version to be available. Nothing works so far. HELP!!
[email protected]

I had the same problem until I realized that I first need to buy the song and then create the ringtone from the already purchased song. The instructions could have been made clearer on this, and it would be great if you could use the ring tone creation tool to check if the song really fits before you buy the song…
Good luck

Creating ringtones from itunes iPhone 5?

The name of the folder shown on the left under Library changed to Tones recently but I thought the tab at the top, while syncing, still said Ringtones. I guess I'm not sure. At any rate there are many youtube videos that will walk you through this if you want to check to be sure you are doing it correctly. Here's one I picked at random: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwXUM2kCfig.

Having problems getting podcast on iTunes, tried to resubmit and got an already submitted error

Having problems getting podcast on iTunes, tried to resubmit and got an already submitted error. How can I get the podcast on iTunes?

You didn't need to get it removed: you can make any changes to a feed that you want, changing, adding or deleting episodes, and iTunes will pick them up.
However, in the present situation you have fallen over a bug in the submissions process. The workaround is changing the title; as this hasn't worked you need to change the feed URL if possible, and also you could change the contents of the 'link' tag.
If you can't get it sorted you could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to reinstate you (give them all the details) - their responses are a bit variable, but they may help you.

Cannot create ringtones in iTunes Store.

Hi all... I just got an iPhone and setup/activation all went fine. Then I signed in to the iTunes store to buy some ringtones and it won't let me. I can see the bell icon on ringtone-eligible songs, but when I click it I get a page entitled "Learn more about ringtones for your iPhone" which basically just gives step-by-step instructions on how to do it. At the bottom of the page is a "Go back" button which takes me back to the list of songs. I do not get the ringtone editor.
So I tried it another way... using the "Create ringtone..." command in the Store menu. But I can't click it because it's grayed out.
So then I tried this: i go to my own music library (not the store) and choose a song I already purchased from iTunes that I know is ringtone-eligible. I right-click on the track and choose "Create ringtone..." from the contextual menu. The ringtone editor appears for a like half a second, then disappears and I'm prompted to log in to the iTunes store. So I enter my password and click Sign In and the login prompt appears again. So I try again and the same thing happens yet again. The only way out is to click cancel and give up.
Can someone help me???? It's totally frustrating.

I had the same problem until I realized that I first need to buy the song and then create the ringtone from the already purchased song. The instructions could have been made clearer on this, and it would be great if you could use the ring tone creation tool to check if the song really fits before you buy the song…

How to move newly created ringtones on itunes with extension mr4 to ringtones

I have created ringtones using i tunes. I had no problem creating them, they play well and appear under music in iTunes. One thing that I am unable to solve, is that i can't move the ringtone from music to ringtone tab on the right. I tried dragging it, didn't work. And I also made sure the tones were checked in preferrences. Does anybody can help me or guide me with the issue, will appreciate that.

It worked. And you explained so well each step.
You will be my first choice to ask something if I need.
I wish I could give you one million points for that.

Create ringtones with itunes bug

Hello,
I want to create some ringtones with the music than I buy, but when I launch the application (right clic on the music choose, create ringtone...), I have a message "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)".
Yet I come to connect to the iTunes store and download some music, podcast, so I don't see where is the problem.
Can you help me please?
ps : I'm french, and I'm not very good in english so sorry for the english faults.

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 on itunes for iPhone

I have been trying to create ringtones for my iPhone from itunes.
But every time I try ti great it, it comes up with an unknow error 1156. and says that itunes cannot connect to itunes store.
Is anyone else is also facing this problem?

This worked for me...
In iTunes, right click on the song you are going to make into a ringer and select “Get Info.”
Go to the options tab and go down to the “Start Time” and “Stop Time” check boxes. Check both boxes and input the time you want your ringtone to start/stop. The ringtone has to be 30 seconds or less. Click OK when you’re done.
Right click on your newly “clipped” song and select “Convert Selection to AAC.” The song will be re-encoded using the start and stop times determined (If your menu item does not read “Convert Selection to AAC” and reads “Convert Slection to MP3″ (or some other format) please go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing and change the “Import Using” drop down menu to “AAC Encoder”).
After the song is done encoding navigate to your iTunes Music folder, locate your song, and drag it to your desktop. After the song is on your desktop go back to iTunes and delete the clipped version from you iTunes library (It won’t delete it from your desktop, it will only remove it from iTunes).
Go back the song on your desktop and right click on your song and chose “Get info.” Go to the name and extension section and change the extension from .m4a to .m4r (or you can just change the extension right from your desktop)
After the extension is changed simply double click on the file to add it to your iTunes library under the ringtones section. Sync your phone with iTunes and you’re done!
What you need to do is turn on "View File Extensions" under your folder view options.
Then go to your desktop right-click, rename and change the .m4a to .m4r and sey yes when it asks if youre sure.

Problem creating ringtones - "song no longer available" - PLEASE HELP!

I want to create a couple of ringtones from iTunes I downloaded. First I tried making one from a song contained in an album I bought and downloaded about a month or two ago. iTunes wouldn't let me (for whatever reason) so I bought and downloaded a new song. once it was in my "purchased" folder I added it to a songlist and then right-clicked it and selected "Create Ringtone." I was told I needed to go to the "Terms and Conditions" and accept the "ringtones" agreement, which I did. once I clicked "I accept" I was automatically redirected back to the song list that contained the song- there was never any option or utility to continue (after accepting the terms and conditions) on and make a ringtone from the song.
NOW, when I right-click the song and select "create ringtone" I get a pop-up box that says that "this song can +*no longer*+ be made into a ringtone!" WHAT is the deal? What did I do wrong?
Can someone tell me, step-by-step how to download a song and create a ringtone from it for my iPhone? Is there a tutorial with screenshots anywhere? Somone PLEASE help me out- I cant afford to keep buying songs just to try and figure this out on my own.
Thanks.
Nick
P.S. On the iTunes webpage it said that songs that can be made into ringtones will have a ringtone icon next to them in my iTunes library; but that's not happening- even with the new song I just downloaded.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click '''Check for Updates''' -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

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.....

Created ringtone, but itunes created a Tones folder instead of Ringtones

I created a ringtone by cutting a song up into a 29 sec. clip. converted to .m4r and synced with my iphone. itunes and the phone created a Tones folder and put the file there, but there is no Ringtones folder and I cannot find the tone on the phone to choose as a ringtone or sms tone.

Yes, I have it set to sync everything. When the iphone was docked it syncd and downloaded the newly purchased tone onto my PC itunes. Looking at the the Tones folder while docked in itunes and I can see both files in the Tones folder of the iphone and the PC. I've scrolled through the whole list of tones and do not see my created ringtone at all.
i know I have gotten it onto the phone. When I first created the ringtone and syncd the iphone it created the Tones folder on the phone and I immediately saw the ringtone on the phone.
I assume that there is something wrong with the file that I created like the bitrate or filesize that is keeping the iphone from recognizing it. I have not had trouble with this in the past though.
I used a 3rd party program to cut up the song to make the ringtone as I always have. Should I try to use itunes to make the ringtone?

Problem creating/checking an iTunes account

I'm having trouble creating an account, checking account information, or logging into a pre-existing account from this Windows XP Home PC (SP1). The store connection seems to work flawlessly, browsing & song previews are working properly but the moment I try to either login to an account (using Sign In), or create a new account (either by clicking Buy Album or by trying to Sign In & Create New Account) iTunes pops up almost instantaneously "iTunes could not connect to the music store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again". The network connection is working properly & this is a consistent error so it doesn't seem to be a bizarre timeout issue. Added to which if I use my powerbook I can Sign In with no problems whatsoever.
It's like whatever is specific to either purchasing or Account checking is being blocked by the PC.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Merry Xmas !
Chris
Additional Info:
-there doesn't appear to be a firewall running & the XP firewall is disabled for the network connection
-the router doesn't appear to be the problem since my powerbook can use the same router & connect to my iTunes account with no problems
-if anyone knows of an outward-bound port scanner let me know, that might tell me if there is a hidden firewall running or a problem with a specific port
-iTunes is a brand-new install (6.0.1.3) so there's no history of it working on this PC
-the default store is the Canadian iTunes
-the ISP is Telus & it's a DSL connection
Sony VAIO Windows XP Telus DSL internet connection

Well, lots of views to your question, and I don't
have an answer.
Thanks for the response. It's frustrating as heck since essentially every Music Store function except anything requiring an account is working fine. iTunes works perfectly normally on my home Windows 2000 install & this behaviour is completely bizarre.
Just posting to let you know you're not being
ignored. I'd buy stuff from the Powerbook. (lucky
devil)
Yeah, that's the obvious solution. The catch is the iTunes problem install is on my parent's PC & the powerbook will be leaving with me after the holidays...
I'm just hoping this problem magically disappears after the holiday traffic disappates. At the moment I'd say that's unlikely simply because of the consistency of the problem: browse the store & everything is quick & fine, hit Sign In -> Create New Account & in under a second the error message pops up. If I attempt to login using my account it pops up the Accessing Music Store progress meter & then gives me the same error message.
Chris
Note w.r.t. the Rogers ISP query: Rogers 'fixed' the iTunes Music Store problem a few weeks ago (they either re-configured their traffic shaping devices to not label iTunes traffic as peer-to-peer or they turned them off until Cisco fixed the problem for them) - this problem was affecting me in Toronto. Note that I believe the same problem was affecting BC users as well, though whether it was Shaw or Telus I'm not sure.
