Ringtones on iTunes 7.4

Ok, so apple brought out iTunes 7.4 and it includes the "Ringtone" tabs for those who have iPhones. However, I don't seem to be able to purchase ringtones. Is it because it's not availble? Or is it my computer/itunes? I don't see any ringtone symbol next to the time of the song (as it shows on the ringtone preview.)
Can someone help?
Thanks!!

I keep getting software updates with updated versions of iTunes that say it includes custom ringtone support. If its not ready until next week (so I have read-though nowhere on Apple's site)-why am I supposed to update my software?
This has been very confusing. I-like most people probably-thought there was something wrong because I couldn't see anything about ringtones in iTunes except for the ringtones tab under iPhone settings.
Thanks for confusing us all Apple!

HT1386 I have a new iPhone and want to purchase a ringtone on iTunes. It keeps asking for answers to a question that I did not set up and don't have the answer for. How do I get pass this dilemma?

I have a new iphone and want to purchase ringtones from itunes. Itunes is asking answers for security questions I did not set up and I can't answer them. How do I get past this to be able to purchase. I can purchase songs on my MAC and sync but itunes doesn't give the option to purchase ringtones on the MAC, just the iphone.

If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Creating a ringtone with iTunes (after song selection) is difficult!

Hey-
I'm having an issue with creating ringtones using the built in ringtone maker in iTunes after purchasing a eligable track from the iTunes store. There are some ringtones that I found on the iTunes store. There is one purchase where you get 6 seperate ringers (but in one audio file). I place the slider bars at the beginning of the ringer I want and then at the end of that ringer. When I go to play it back to make sure I'm getting what I want, it's not playing the correct ringer that it should be playing, but rather either the first ringer, or the 4th ringer...very odd! I know how to 'trim' clips as I do this daily with Windows Movie Maker...left slider starts at where you want the tune to start, the right slider stops at where you want the tune to end...very simple! Yet with the ringtone maker built into iTunes, it doesn't seem to work that way at all.
The tune that I am referring to is called "6 (or six) business ringtones" in iTunes (just do a search it will pop up)! It is one audio file, with 6 different ringtones in the file, the total file length is like 30 seconds (give or take). Well I like the 2nd ringtone. So after I bought the file, I then went into the ringtone maker in iTunes and dragged the slidders where the 2nd ringtone starts and ends, I then play it back but it doesn't play what I trimmed. Instead it plays other parts of the file (as in the 5th and 6th ringers or the 1st ringers or it starts playing the end of the 1st ringer and combines it into the 2nd ringer that I want. It doesn't seem to do what it's suppose to do and it's really starting to tick me off! I have all these charges from the iTunes store where I have been repeating trying to make the file because it's not working correctly and I'm getting all these charges on my credit card. All I want is for the ringtone maker to work correctly and make my tone as I'm telling it to do, but it won't. Does anyone know how to make this darn thing work correctly? If it wasn't for the file being DRM'd, I would drag it into my own program and do it myself with something I know works correctly. This clearly does not work correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Is there a way to use your ringtones from iTunes in iMessage?

I have a lot of ringtones in iTunes that I use on my iPhone and I was wondering if I am able to use them on my iMessage on my Macbook as well? Also, is there a way to set individual notification sounds for individual contacts so that each one has their own ringtone? I do this on my phone. It would be cool if it worked on the computer as well.

Hi,
iChat and Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) had a pane in the App Menu > Preferences called Alerts.
This could see the Sounds in iChat (or Messages), the System Sounds defaults and anything you had stored in ~/Library/Messages and you could set any of these Sounds to any of the 17 actions as a global choice
As in Maverick if you highlight a Buddy in a Buddy List and then use CMD + i (Get Info) you could similarly set sound to individual Buddies.
You cannot do this in Mavericks/Messages 8 as the Alerts Pane have disappeared.
You cannot turn Off the sounds the app makes for the various different actions such as Video Invite or File Transfers.
You can no longer set individual Buddy sounds either.
There has not been a way to do this for iMessage Contacts.

I have ringtones on itunes how can I put them on my iphone 4

I have ringtones on itunes how can I put them on my iphone

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some strange reason you have failed to backup ( not good at all), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

I downloaded a ringtone on itunes, on my Mac, and it went on my iPhone as a song, and i cant figure out how to out it as my ringtone??

I've downloaded a ringtone from Itunes, and also got an app to where i can make my own, but anytime i go to put them on my phone, it isnt going to ringtones, its going to my music

Ringtones are currently a one-time only download, but if it's not on your phone and it hasn't copied over to the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

No longer able to add ringtones to itunes 10.6 and up

I am no longer able to add ringtones into tones. I make the ringtones via itunes but it won't let me add it to the "tones" tab. The file is proper .m4r extension but when I try to add it, it gives me the circle with the line across the middle that doesn't let me add it to the tones tab. Is anyone else having this trouble? and if so how can I fix it?

Try Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

Issue with playing ringtones in iTunes with Windows 7

For some reason I am having an issue playing ringtones I've created via my iTunes library. It keeps prompting me to authorize my computer so I can play the ringtone in iTunes but my computer is already authorized (I run Windows 7, iTunes 9.0.3 and only have the one computer authorized). I deauthorized the previous computer the library was on when I purchased the one I currently use and haven't had any other issues. Despite not being able to play the ringtones in iTunes, they transfer and play on my iPhone and all other purchases in iTunes are playing as well. I've tried the various troubleshooting tips listed on this site (i.e. changing user account settings, de-authorizing then re-authorizing etc) to no avail.

I have the exact same problem, on a MacBook 10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.3. I went to the genius bar, and reported the problem through the iTunes Store. After some boilerplate troubleshooting recommendations, I finally got a response that "ringtones will not play in iTunes, they will skip over them".
This is definitely not how it used to handle ringtones, it is unclear to me if they are saying this is a bug, or an intentional deprecation of iTunes' function. I would recommend staying away from iTunes created ringtones, self made ones still preview fine in iTunes.

HT4528 my purchased ringtone from itunes is no longer on my iphone4s how do I get it back

my purchased ringtone from itunes for my iphone 4s suddenly is not on my iphone. how do I get it back I just purchased this ringtone in the last couple weeks

Hello compugrrl998,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with watching The Walking Dead on your Apple TV. I am sure you are eager to watch it on your television.
Have you tried checking specifically in Movies > Purchased or TV Shows > Purchased on the Apple TV?
Play previous purchases on Apple TV
You need Apple TV (2nd generation or later) to play content on Apple TV. Some features require the latest version of Apple TV software. If they're available in 1080p, you can play previously-purchased 720p HD TV shows and movies in 1080p.
Movies and TV shows
On the Apple TV main menu, choose Movies > Purchased or TV Shows > Purchased.
Select the item you want to view.
Choose Play.
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you are looking there and not seeing the episodes, I recommend verifying that you are signed in with the same Apple ID on the Apple TV that you are signed in with on your iPhone.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Bought 2 ringtones from iTunes an got both songs but saying payment problem with 1 of the songs and when I go to check card details its correct an it not giving me an option to delete card but keep getting MSG sayin payment processing unavailApp Store

I have bought 2 ringtones Rome iTunes which I have received but it won't let me delete card details as saying payment error with second song but I have it on phone an now it's saying payment processing is not available an d cannot get any free apps form App Store either how can I sort this

See this thread for background on why iTunes can end up with duplicates and how they can be systematically removed. The script there is for Windows users and the "show duplicates" menus have moved around in iTunes 11, but the advice on clearing recently made duplicates should still hold.
As given in my older post "Reorganize library" is meant as a one time command to change the structure of a pre-iTunes 9 library into the newer layout that places music in its own subfolder of the media folder. Once used, if the option becomes available again that suggests that a file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in the media folder has been deleted or editied.

I downloaded Ringtone from iTunes into my iPhone 6 and set it as the default Ringtone. Worked well until I had to recharge my phone. Now disappearred from my iPhone but shows in Tones when phone sync'd. How do I get to show back as default Ringtone

I downloaded a Ringtone from iTunes into my iPhone 6 and set it as the default Ringtone.Worked well until I had to recharge my phone.The Ringtone has now disappeared from my iPhone and I'm left with just the Ringtones that come standard with iPhone 6. I sync'd my phone and it shows in the Tones folder. How do I get the Ringtone back as a default Ringtone in my iPhone 6. Quite frustrating!!

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

How to create ringtones with itunes?

ok how do i go about creating ringtones with the music in my playlists in itunes? and how do i transfer ringtones that are on my computer to the ringtone library?

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.

How do I create a ringtone in iTunes 10.2.2?

I have found an article that shows how to create a ringtone in iTunes 9.2 and it does not seem to apply to iTunes 10.2.2
Can I safely download 9.2, create a ringtone in the iTunes Store and not affect my current application?
Thanks for the help,
eAL

I am completely unable to use a purchased "ringtone" as a ringtone because iTunes will not recognize it as such. I have tried the instructions in the above article (numerous times), and found the same instructions all around google. I can NOT move a 30 sec clip I purchased today on iTunes from the music library to the ringtones on my iMac. It is my understanding from hours of researching this problem, that music sold on iTunes from a computer can NOT be used as ringtones because they are not truly ringtones?? Instead, I have to purchase music from the iPhone under the iTunes App > More > Ringtones. Is this correct?? I'm so beyond frustrated. Mac is NEVER this difficult. Why on earth would anyone want to purchase a 30 sec. clip of a song and NOT be able to use it as a ringtone? If this is truly the case then there should be a disclaimer in iTunes stating that fact.
I also discovered while following instructions from another post, that the song I just downloaded today is not under the "purchased" section of my iTunes account, yet it is in my music library. Huh?? How can that be? Is it because I've changed the format from m4a to m4r and it's now different than what I purchased?
I'm so confused and think I may have to resign myself to re-purchasing a lesser liked ringtone from the same song directly from my iPhone.

Hey tskeltner,
You will use GarageBand to create the ringtone and then you will have an option to send it to iTunes. Depending on which version of iTunes you have, the article below will walk you through the entire process.
