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?

You don't have any choice but to restore your phone. If the phone is still working, be sure to back up your contacts first. Since iTunes can't read your phone you can download the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an email attachment. Send this email to yourself; you can later open it on your phone and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts if necessary. When done, click on Restore (on the Summary tab) and let iTunes do its thing. Be careful to watch the progress information at the top of iTunes as well as your iPhone screen so that you do not interrupt the restore process until it is completes.

Can't update ipod with songs bought from itunes store

I buy songs from itunes store and can't get them on the ipod. they are on the itunes library just fine - just can't get them over to the ipod. Get the message "some of the tunes in the library were not copied because your ipod software is too old.... - but I have the up to date software on the ipod - I get the message - "your ipod software is up to date" - - too frustrating - I buy songs but can't get them on the ipod - - any suggestions??

Please help!!
For some reason yesterday, whilst browsing on iTunes, a computer error message came up and closed the site automatically..
After that, the computer 'froze' on me, so I had no other option than to run System Restore, which, after 2 hours, got my system up and running again, although I had JUST remembered at that point, that ALL files etc would be completely deleted.
I opened up iTunes and looked at my Library, and to my horror, I also hadn't originally thought about backing them up, as I knew they were all 'safely' on my iPod.
I have just tried this morning to 'try' to upload tracks from the iPod onto iTunes. I tried this, BUT, it has completely deleted the tracks off there as well - all 985 of them!!
Does anybody know WHETHER I will be able to recover all these tracks, short of contacting iTunes themselves?
I feel so awkward about it!! Any sensible advice would be appreciated!!

I am able to download all the album I bought from itune store. The album contains 13 songs but 4 of them would not load up into my ipod. How can I fix that?

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

HT201812 In the past it was possible to delete songs/tones from iTunes but this no longer seems to be the case. Is it possible to delete songs or tones if they are not duplicated - I just no longer want them in my library?

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?

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.

"...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.

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.

HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store. Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist. I tried to downloaad more than one at a time. The download stopped. Now I can not download at all.

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

Can't play song purchased from iTunes Store

I recently purchased a song from iTunes Store, and the song appears in my library. However, when I double click on the song to playback, it skips to another song. It won't play at all. Help?! How can I get the song to play (or at least get my $1.29 back)?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

About changing iTunes/Apple ID Accounts country without losing old app,songs,movies and TV shows bought from iTunes store.

this question is for Apple Inc,
i will like to know if i can change my account country? Can i still access my purchased items such music,apps,movies,or software from iTunes store?

You cannot carry the money from one country account to another. But content you have downloaded to your device remains on the device, updating things like apps will require that you return to the country store where the download originated.
The stores operate as separate entities, but content you have does not leave or get deleted.
