Ringtones

iTunes keeps saying "song can no longer be made into a ringtone" But it is saying it for every song. I have on multiple song from my library clicked on the little ringtone thing and it keeps coming up saying "this song can no longer be made into a ringtone". What is going on, I know it has to be more than it is just no available anymore as I have tried about 10 songs.

Sounds to me like this is an issue with itunes' latest update to the software.
Hopefully someone will pay attention to this thread and check it out

I just got the droid razr yesterday (it's also my first smartphone) and I can't figure out how to get ringtones! My husband has a plain phone and sent me ringtones but when I open them they play the music but there is nothing under options saying use as ringtone. I have no music downloaded on my phone at all to use. Also I keep getting notifications every time I get a new email in my yahoo account. I want to keep yahoo on my phone but I don't want all the notifications every time i get mail cuz most of it is junk! Thanks!!!!!!

If you long press the ringtone it should give you a list of options you can then go one of two ways. Option one is "set as" and then choose ringtone. Option two (what I usually do) is to save then, using your computer (plug your phone in via USB) or a file manager app from the market, create a folder named media, then inside that, folders named ringtones, notifications, and alarms and move the file to the appropriate place (it should be in a folder named download originally). It should now show up in the list when you go to set a ringtone in the normal way.

There may be an option to show the notification without a sound or there may be a "silent ringtone". If not, you should be able to find a silent ringtone online and set it in the way I described above. You may also be able to set it to check less often or only when you open the mail app.

How do I use one of my songs as a ringtone??? and also I download music on the phone from the internet but it doesn't show in my playlist???

Hi I've been trying to set one of my songs as my ringtone but it doesn't give me that option plz help with that.
I've also downloaded music from the internet via UC Browser and on my old phone it would save it to my playlist but on the Iphone it doesnt y?

You can't download music through anything other than the iTunes store or by syncing music that you have on your computer that is placed into iTunes. Once the music is in iTunes, you can sync it to the phone.

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?
Lee

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?

After iTunes/Yosemite updates, custom ringtones no longer available in Contacts on Mac but are on iPhone

After updating to Yosemite, my custom ringtones are no longer associated with particular contacts on my Mac. They seem to be in the right place in iTunes (ver. 12, updated at same time), and are still assigned to contacts on my iPhone (OS 8.1)--I haven't synched contacts, but I can't figure out how to get them re-assigned to specific contacts on the computer. when they're not there to be selected. These are a combination of purchased and GarageBand ringtones, and have been in use for years. Here's what I've tried:
In iTunes > Tones: Deselecting the ringtones, syncing (connected to mac). Then re-selcting and synching again. Ringtones are still visible on the iphone in Sounds, and in iTunes, but not available from within Contacts on the Mac.
Still in iTunes, used Get Info to identify where in Finder Tones are kept, which for me is: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Tones/. Copied all of them, moved the originals to the trash. (Did not empty.) Restarted. Didn't make a difference. I put everything back.
I have had this problem once before with an OS upgrade or new iPhone, I'm not sure which, but the de-selecting/selecting had worked. Not this time, however. My mistake may have been to update to Yosemite before updating my phone to OS8.1, but that's the way it was presented to me, and I didn't realize it would matter. My preference is to sync my contacts. But this became de-selected during the update. (Other prefs changed, also, for example--I prefer local backup, and it defaulted to iCloud.)

regarding the ringtones, i was able to set custom ringtones myself, but ever since i did that i get errors when synching my phone in the form that some app's dont work, have any of you had this problem?

How do I create ringtones in iTunes on Macbook Pro?

I used to create my ringtones on my old laptop which was a windows, and I tried doing it on my macbook, but they don't go as ringtones..
Is there a different way to do so on mbp than windows?
I don't wanna have to keep getting out the old windows to do it every time?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Your MacBook Pro should have an application called GarageBand. Its icon looks like a guitar in your dock. Open GarageBand, go to "Help" in the menu bar, and type Create an iPhone Ringtone. It will walk you through what to do.

How do I add a ringtone without syncing the rest of my phone??

I recently bought a mac, and got my own apple ID (up to now my mother, sister, and I have all been using the same one). If I sync my phone to my mac I lose most of my stuff and what a pain in the butt it would be to pay to get all of that back on my phone. I found that for music, the "autofill" button is a way around syncing since I never really use music on my phone except for running. But now I downloaded a new ringtone, that was not through iTunes and it will no longer let me click and drag to add it to my phone. Is there any other way that you know of to add a ringtone to an unsynced phone?

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your other computer to /Music/ on your Mac and your iPhone will sync fine.
Make sure to authorize your computer for the old iTunesID.

You don't need to upgrade your software. But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3. It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC. More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins. A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.

If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

Text messages ringtones are not working in the Storm Two

Device: Storm Two running OS version 5.0.0.713 on the Verizon Wireless network.
Recently, I upgraded from a Storm One to a Storm Two because of a multitude of issues with the Storm One; not enough memory, constant lock-ups; dropped calls, etc. On the Storm One I had customer ringtones for contacts; so when a contact calls me the phone will sound a specific ringtone for that contact; the same for text messages from that contact. Now that I have the Storm Two the text message tones for the contacts are not working. In fact, even when I select a ringtone for text messages for a contact the phone will ring the generic ringtone that comes with the phone. If I go into the sound profile and change the generic ringtone to one of my own and the contact sends me a text/sms message the phone will ring the ringtone that I selected in the profile that is being used at the time. This is not the way it worked on the Storm One. On the Storm One; if I have a specific ringtone for the contact and that contact sends me a text message it will sound the text messages tone for that contact. These ringtones have worked for previous devices including my Treo and Palm devices. The ringtone files worked well in the previous Storm One.
So to make a long story short; I want to know why my text message ringtones are not working as designed/setup-up. If a contact calls me the phone will sound the ringtone for that contact; but if that same contact text me it will not ring the ringtone for the contact. This is annoying and I am at my wits end trying to find out why this is not working.

Hi Jain....
Field separator is for separating the fields.That means it will effect every field in the node.
But end separator is not like that.It will apply at the end ofall fields of a node.It will effect node not a field.
according to ur scenario if u use data.endseparator 'nl',output will come like this
2008/0701$101
2008/0701$102
2008/0701$103
2008/0702$105
if u want new line for every field try to insert a separate node for second field.That means
MT_DATATYPE:
Data -
1:UnBounded
. .OrderDate----
1:1
<Data2> 1:1
. ....OrderNo -
1:1
now give data.endseparator 'nl'
data2.endseparator 'nl'
if possible try like this....

Droid 2 Global: OGG supported as ringtone, but not as a playable music file?

I've been having some trouble playing .ogg music in the music player (by trouble I mean it comes back as mostly static), though Android 2.2 is supposed to support ogg natively. Motorola's site on the Droid 2 Global shows something interesting: http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Mobile-Phones/ci.DROID2-Global-US-EN.alt
It lists ogg under supported ringtones but not under Playable formates. Huh? What gives? I've even tried different players that are supposed to support ogg on this phone but they do nothing. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? How is it that the ringtone can play it but the player cannot, even though Android 2.2 supports the formate?

Oh me of little faith. The replacement phone syncs both ways. I guess there must be some data corruption that persists past a hard reset.

How do I get my own ringtones onto my iphone 4?

I have a new iphone 4 and am wondering how I get the ringtones that I made on my droid (I have them saved in a file on my macbook pro) onto my iphone?

I am so frustrated. That didn't work either.
I have the ringtones that I created on my Droid in a file on my desktop. As far as I can tell, they should go into itunes, why why why

I purchase ringtones on iphone, but they don't show up as purchased in itunes and i can't transfer from iphone to itunes.

I have an iphone 3 on which i downloaded ringtones, two of which are not showing in itunes. I now just purchased the iphone 4s. When I synced the ringtones, those two were of course missing. How do I get itunes to recognize that I purchased those ringtones on the iphone 3?
Thanks!

Well Defcom, your last response didn't fix it, however, it helped!
You had me delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and com.apple.ichatAgent.plist. I did that and restarted with no luck. However, when I was in there, I found one other file that was related that you didn't mention, com.apple.ichat.plist. I deleted it too, restarted and boom, it works and she shows up now. Also, the fonts and such are working properly now too haha. So while you didn't solve it, you pretty much did! Thanks for your timely and helpful responses!

Iphone 5 ringtones won't sync.....

I have tried everything to get my ringtones into the tones folder on itunes. Nothing seems to work any suggestions?????? anyone?????

figured it out
in the ringtones section on iTunes (not under my iPhone) i noticed that i had exclamation marks next to all of my ringtones. you have to double click on each one and locate your ringtone (for some reason it has lost the link to the original). if you cannot locate, try using your spotlight search to find them and click on it - you may get a duplicate in your ringtones, but you can just delete the one that doesn't work.
once you found them all, then do the uncheck sync, check sync (as stated above) and they're all back
