Song as a Text Tone

Trying to get a song as my text tone. So far I plugged in my iPod touch to my computer, right clicked the song, and clicked Get Info (it's in ACC). But when I click "Options", everything is gray and I can't click anything. Please help!

I just did the same thing... I was stupid in assuming that apple would check the things sold on iTunes and remove text tones. I feel like I am being punished because I haven't rooted my iPhone. Please don't give me a reason to insult you by jailbreaking my phone and effectively saying that all that time you guys spent developing the UI and the experience on the iPhone was a waste of time.

  • Using song for text tone on ipad

    Can I set a song on my iPad as a text tone?

    Actually you can. It took me 10 minutes first time and you need to use itunes on Mac or Windows to create one. Remember that you can't use more then 5 seconds of the song for alert.
    Here are instructions.

  • Is it possible (without jailbreaking)  to make and USE custom Text tones?

    Anyone?? I figured out custom ringtones with itunes etc (is it me or is itunes on a windows system complicated? lol..probably me....) but can you create and add your own text tones...and also can you have different tones for text, voicemail etc?
    I am new to iPhone (had ipod touches which is very similar) prior to this just had a regular verizon envy touch phone...
    Responses appreciated y'all

    It is possible, I have custom ringtones on mine without jailbreaking using Windows 7 iTunes. Here is how to do it:
    1. Using iTunes, select which song you want to create a ringtone from.
    2. Right click the song, select Get Info, and go to the Options tab.
    3. Choose a start time for where you want your ringtone to start. Add 30 seconds to that number, and input it into the stop time (to make a 30 second ringtone). Select OK.
    4. Create an AAC version by either a) right clicking the song or b) selecting from the Advanced menu at the top of iTunes.
    5. After creating the AAC version, you should be able to see it in iTunes. Right click the song, and select Show in Windows Explorer.
    6. In Windows Explorer, right click the song and hit rename. The file will look something like "Ringtone.m4a"
    7. Change the name to "Ringtone.m4r" (Note: if you don't see the .m4a extension or can't rename it, there is an option in Windows to allow you to rename file extensions)
    8. After renaming, drag the song to your iTunes, and iTunes will automatically create a "Ringtones" folder, and will sync to your phone.
    Enjoy!
    (Don't forget to change back the start/stop times in your original song)

  • How can i use a song as a ring tone from a cd i have loaded on the 4s

    How can i use a song as a ringtone from  a cd i have loaded on my iphone 4s

    The weird thing is, when u make your own ringtones, they sound terrible when set as a ringtone (really tiny and generally awful), but when u set them as a text tone or any other alert they sound great (like they do when u play them through the music app).
    Is this just a bug with iOS5 or have previous models also done this?

  • I was given a brand new iPhone yesterday and it wont play music, text tones or slide and keypad tones when it is on charge?

    My iPhone was brand new yesterday. I took it home and put it on charge and when I went to play music it wouldnt play the sound even thought the song was playing. It also wouldnt let me listen to any tones when I went to change my text tone but if the phone rings then the ringtone will play. This is really frustrating, I had to get a brand new one as the one that I was given the day before had previously been blacklisted for some unknown reason. PLEASE HELP!!

    Are you using the UsB/Charging lead that came with the iPhone
    I have this issue when charging my phone in the car when using the lead supplied with the Head Unit.
    This is due to the USB lead having the Audio connections present (for playing through the stereo)
    The downside to this being that the phone will not play any sounds out of the built in speakers as all audio is routed through the stereo

  • Why can I hear text tone while talking and not a pause like Iphone 4s?

    Hi,
    I have my phone 6 text tone set to a song. Well, I was talking to my aunt and I received a text message but I could hear the ring tone in my ear. I have never had that problem with Iphone 4s. It was basically a general pause to tell me I had an incoming text. Anyone else having this problem? Please help. If I can figure this out I am taking the phone back.

    You can turn off sending pictures messages except as iMessages by going to Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging and setting it to "Off".

  • All purchased ringtones / text tones lost

    I have just purchased a new MacBook Pro, and when I synced my iPhone to my computer for first time, it transferred music purchases from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro, but not my ringtones or text tones. Upon checking my iPhone, they've all been wiped.
    Does anyone know how I retrieve these purchases? I've checked my Purchases and there's nothing there...
    Thanks

    Update - Had to create a case number with iTunes on line and then had to call Support.  It took 1-1/2 hrs!  Don't believe the so-called experts on this site.  Don't repurchase tones as they will charge you again!  Apple told me that you shouldn't purchase from your device (Wait! What?) and the supervisor I finally got to late last night said this the first time they ever heard of this happening (what a Crock! scripted) Don't download anything from your iPhone as the tones and from what I hear songs will disappear before you have a chance to sync.  Even when they re-pushed the tones, then the existing tones that show in iTunes then disappeared on my phone.  They had to re-push everything twice and it works for now and I don't hold any hope that it will last.  The so-called experts here don't know what they are talking about.  They will resort to calling you a novice and other choice names when their so-called fixes don't work. It is irresponsible for Apple to remain silent on this issue and not give its customers this warning.  But it will enhance their bottom line if they remain silent.  Think about it.…

  • I have purchased actual ring tones, not songs or MP3s, RING TONES.  They used to be on my Iphone but when I got a new laptop and downloaded new ITunes, they are showing up in Itunes in RINGTONES, but will not transfer to my iphone. They are checked. Help?

    I have purchased actual ringtones from the ITunes store.  They were working fine on my Iphone 3 before, but I got a new laptop and the new version of ITunes, and now even though they are listed as ring tones on my ITunes, they will not transfer to my Iphone.  (Please do not tell me they are songs and not ring tones, they are definitely RING TONES!)  Can anyone help me with this?  Thanks.

    Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.
