"Ringtone Can no longer be created..."

I understand that there is a certain amount of time after purchasing a song or album from the iTunes Store where I can create a ringtone from a track. Tonight I downloaded the remastered Centerfield Album by John Fogarty using my iPhone 4. I went to iTunes and synched my phone and MacBook then tried to create a ringtone. I got the message "This song cannot be made into a ringtone. "Centerfield by John Fogarty can no longer be made into a ringtone."
I'd understand if I downloaded the album months ago, but this was one of the reasons I purchased the album.

Jeez, roaminggnome, as a non-Garageband user (other than 20 min goofing around with it), I would be thrilled if you took a moment to elaborate on that? The downloadable paid app I bought for my iPhone is horrible. I can't figure out even where the ringtone is going when I make one with it... I would much prefer to use Garageband if you have but a moment. I presume you load the non-DRM song of interest and crop it to 30 seconds, but then do you have the option of saving it in .m4r format? That would be cool...and much easier. Please tell Santa Claus really does exist, ok?

"...can no longer be made into a ringtone" why not, I ask

I purchased a song on itunes today (a song that I already owned!) for the purpose of creating a ringtone.
Went to the Purchased folder, highlighted the song, selected "create ringtone", had to login to itunes store again, clicked Buy...then I was presented with a window:
*This song cannot be made into a ringtone:*
"wheres your head at" by Basement Jaxx can no longer be made into a ringtone
What gives? How can I fix this issue? Using itunes version 7.4.1.2

That song can not be a ringtone. Not all songs have been authorized by their owners for use with ringtones. Its a nuance of copyright law.
However, iTunes has been updating this information all day so it may become available in the future.

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.

Five minutes later"this song can no longer be made into a ringtone"

I downloaded a song that had the bell next to it. Five minutes later, it's downloaded, and I click the bell icon to make my ringtone. A box popped up that said "this song cannot be made into a ringtone- this song can no longer be made into a ringtone"
What's up with that??? I already had this song in my library. I only downloaded it again so that I could make the ringtone, and now it won't work. Anybody know what to do??
Thanks, Kelly

I am having the SAME issue - I just bought a song 2 days ago that clearly had the bell icon next to it. Right after downloading the song I clicked "create ringtone" and received the same error message "this song can no longer be made into a ringtone". SO I called iPhone - they can't help...so I emailed iTunes and I am getting the total run around. I clearly explained this issue to which they have replied with FAQs on ringtones and articles on how to download ringtones, duh. I re-authorized my computer, restarted it, on and on...still nothing. It seems like iTunes support wants to ignore my true problem and just keep running me around in circles.

Song can no longer be made into a ringtone

I just purchased and downloaded a song. I go into store - create a ringtone and I get the message that this song can no longer be made into a ringtone.
Any ideas what this means and how to fix?
Thanks,

When you download songs in iTunes only those with a little bell symbol are able to be made into a ringtone...
Or you can use DRM free media to make your own ringtones in Garage Band

Can no longer be made into a ringtone

I purchased Jump by Van Halen even though I already own the song from a cd. When I tried to make a ring tone (it has a bell by it in itunes store and my library) it tells me "Jump by Van Halen can no longer be made into a ringtone".
I can not find a link on Apple's support site to ask them. Any help?

I recently accepted an automatic update(January, 2014) for Pages on my MacBook Pro. I can no longer open Pages or documents created with the prior version. Any suggestions as to how to correct this problem?

Open Activity Monitor. Select All Processes instead of My Processes at the top and then reorder everything by highest CPU usage. Take a screenshot and post the image here.

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?

How can i put or create ringtones on my iPhone 3G?

I have downloaded an App from the App Store on my iPhone 3G. The video for putting the ringtones onto the iPhone after creating them uses an old version of iTunes which included a ringtones folder in the iTunes sidebar. Since the newest version of iTunes does not include the ringtones folder, can I still use thi ringtones that I have created or should I just get rid of them and the Appas well?

When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.

Hello JimS19,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:

After purchase: ". . . can no longer be made into a ringtone"

I figured I'd get my first ringtone.
Maybe it was a bad choice, but "Mandy" by Barry Manilow was there, with the ringtone bell. My daughter's name. I knew it would make her crazy!
Immediately after I downloaded it, I went to make the ringtone- and a dialog box came up that said "'Mandy' by Barry Manilow can no longer be made into a ringtone."
C'mon, Apple! Is there any other reason I would buy that song? How do I get my 99 cents credited back?

When you get your iTunes statement via email, there is a link for each song that says, "Report a problem." Click on the link adjacent to the song you have issue with, follow the prompts and send your issue to Apple.
They usually respond in less than a day.

Sophisticated Lady by Billie Holiday can no longer be made into a ringtone

Despite the fact the I already own several versions of this song on CD, I suckered myself into buying it from iTunes just so that I could make it into a ringtone for my iPhone.
Once it finished downloading iTunes cheerfully tells me: "Sophisticated Lady" by Billie Holiday can no longer be made into a ringtone.
I wonder, was I too slow? Were there just too many people making this song into ringtone so now the ringtone quota for "Sophisticated Lady" has been filled?
What annoys me is there is no way of knowing, that I can tell, if a song can be made in to a ringtone or not. So, if you already own the music, it's a gamble. You have to buy the song from iTunes and then try to make it into a ringtone. If you're lucky it'll work. You can't just buy the ringtone. You have to buy the song, and then the ringtone, which is 2 * $0.99 + whatever else you payed for the music.

I think there are several people having issues with the ringtone icon not properly appearing for songs that can be made into tones. Also, there seems to be quite a bit of music that once could be made into ringtones that can no longer be made into songs. I get that for several of the Van Halen songs that initially were able to be made into ringtones, but that no longer can be. For example I get the error message "Eruption" by Van Halen can no longer be made into a ringtone.
If anyone else has figured this out, please let us know.

Songs Bought from iTunes Store Can No Longer Be Made Into Ringtones???

I just tried to make a ringtone with a song I bought from the iTunes store a couple of months ago - it's telling me "This song can no longer be made into a ringtone."
Is there an expiration date on songs purchased from the iTunes store??? Incredibly lame if so.

are you guys sure those songs can be made into ringtones? you can't just purchase any song and make it a ringtone it actualy must have the ringtone bell next to it. i purchased the new kanye cd and i got those messages when i tried to convert some of his songs which had no bells...amybe this is your problem?

Have itl and xml files on external hd am running home premium. can no longer access files, am told this is because they were created with a newer version of itunes. also when i try to download 10.3 it wont, just says invalid drive j and for me to try aga

i am running vista home premium on desktop and vista basic on laptop. have placed my itunes music with .itl and .xml files onto external drive connected to another desktop running vista and can no longer access music on first two mentioned comps only on the one connected to external drive. always am told that the library cant be read because it was created using a newer version of itunes. have tried to download 10.3 but it always tells me that i have and invalid hard drive j and to try again. any ideas?

Older versions of iTunes cannot read libraries created with newer versions of iTunes. You need to have the same version of iTunes on all your PCs. Is that the case?
As far as the problem installing iTunes goes, see this article from b noir on dealing with the problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2450004
If you get to the point where you need the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, you will need more help as it has been withdrawn by Microsoft. but I am hoping the virtual drive trick will work,

I can no longer create groups that contain subgroups??

Folks,
I used to be able to create a group, drag existing subgroups and individuals into that group, and send emails to all by simply typing the group name into Mail.
I can no longer do this.
Now, to be precise. I can create what looks like a group and by dragging existing subgroups into it -- but it no longer functions as a group. When I type the name or drag it (from Contacts) into the "To:" line of Mail, the only thing that shows up are the top-level individuals (i.e., those who I put dragged in as individuals, not those who are only in one of the subgroups that I dragged in).
If I create a group that only has subgroups (i.e., no individuals at the top level, only individuals who are members of one or more of the included subgroups) then after I type the group name in the "To:" line of mail, the group name dissappears, and nothing appears in Mail's "To:" line.
The actual behavior is a little more subtle than this but the bottom line is that I can no longer create groups with subgroups.
Help!!
