Songs to ringtones sorry for the repetition

Ringtones. I realize this has been asked a lot and i have read other discussions but they have not pertained useful information for my situation. Is there no way to set up any song already imported on your iphone to a ringtone? I have made a few ringtones in garageband, however when i send them to itunes they send as a song, although they are only 30 secs. When i open itunes i cannot drag these ringtones into the ringtone folder, or select "create ringtone" because i did not buy the songs via itunes. Thus i made a playlist for my ringtones and synced them onto my phone, to find you cannot set songs as ringtones.... any suggestions??
thanks for your time and sorry for the subject repetition

If you have a Mac...
1) Pick your song you want to turn into a ringtone in iTunes.
2) Right click>Get Info or File>Get Info or Apple>I.
3) Go to Options when the Get Info window opens.
4) Click the check boxes to initiate Start and Stop time, manually entering the start and finish time of the song you want as a ringtone.
5) Now, hit Okay.
6) Next, go to Advanced>Convert Selection to AAC, this will create a copy of the song, but just the portion you want as a ringtone.
7) The copy will be right under the original in iTunes, you will see the difference in times with the selection you chose should be at a ringtone length, like :30 seconds or so. Right-click on the selection and choose Show in Finder, or File>Show in Finder, it should be an m4a file.
8) Simply click on the file name to edit it and change it to an m4r, this will change it into a ringtone to be recognized by iTunes.
9) Go back to iTunes, find the short selection of the song that you converted to a ringtone and drag it out of iTunes to your desktop.
10) It will make a copy of it and it should now be in your iTunes and desktop. Then, back in iTunes, delete the selection you just moved to the desktop.
11) Double-click on the file you dragged to your desktop and it should open up and play in the "Ringtones" section of your iTunes.
12) Sync.

  • Adobe Reader 8.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience

    Ver 8 installed fine but can't get it to launch from any application. Have tried going back to earlier versions (6.1,6.2,7) but the same problem occurs.
    Same error message each time:
    "Adobe Reader 8.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"

    Tried every troubleshooting tip in the Support Knowledgebase to no avail.
    Have been using Reader for years with never any problems and now I can't seem to get this fixed after numerous hours.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is there a free support line I can call or is it paid support only?
    Thanks,

    Like others my problem was Adobe Reader 8.1.2 died terribly and with a buggy stench with the following error:

    3. Start, Log Off
    4. Switch Users to the NewUser
    5. Wait the mini eternity for new user to be set up.
    6. Start Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 and you will see a red splash screen along with some license updating things.
    7. Adobe 8.1.2 now starts fine under NewUser
    8. Switch back to your regular user name. Start, Log off, Switch Users
    Now a note to Adobe. Do you folks really have to make this such a frickin pain to get working? Do you at Acrobat have any idea of how much time we users blow and how much of our lives pass by while we try to re-download and work with this product? You are directly responsible for a small slow down in the world economy by this. Get the hint.... create an 8.1.3 that omits the secret code steps above.
    The only thing that kept my sanity during this were nice songs on channel 86 on SIRIUS. Thank you SIRIUS.

    I clicked on the OK button and the downloader closed.
    I did a search on this error code (c0000005) and there seems to be a workaround but no solutions, why is this? I ask that because this problem seems to be years and years old, going back to at least 2005 (do the math that is 10 years).
    I don't even have the Camera hooked up and I get this error on download.  I redownloaded everything and reinstalled.  I allso saw the AVI issues reported with this proble so i updated Quicktime though without the camera being hooked up when I get this error I didn't expect that to work.  I tried support and they wouldn't help because I bought it in March this year.  Pretty frustrating as I have re-purchased Elements about every 2 years.  I think I might need a new CODEC?   I had this problem on an Earlier version And I seem to remember that being the Fix but this may be something completely different

    I finally found that it was missing a picture so the Catalog was "corrupted".  I just deleted the picture and it started working.
    I hate Adobe and their total lack of support - thanks for nothing Adobe .  Also get this - they offered me to upgrade to 13.0 ( My 12.0 is only 6 months old  but they still don't support it on errors.  Only install errors!
    I have upgrade and repurchase this product 4 times now.  I will find something else next time!

    Well I was able to successfully revert back to iTunes8. Here's my steps:
    1. In Add/Remove Programs I deleted all Apple products (iTunes, QuickTime, Safari, Bonjour, etc.)
    2. I then check C:\Program Files\ and made sure all folders were deleted (QuickTime, etc.)
    3. I then ran a Registry Cleaner program to make sure all entries from Apple products were removed.
    4. I then rebooted my PC
    5. I then downloaded iTunes8.0.2 from here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
    6. After it installed it said it could use my iTunes library file because it was created with a newer version. So I re-created my library by following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    It took some time but iTunes is now back up and running. And I have all my playlists, etc. I haven't tried to sync anything yet. I'm just thrilled to have my iTunes back!

    hi David!
    okay, it's time to check if you have a weird registry problem. (the problem i'm thinking about produces the same error message.)
    we diagnose that by creating a new user account (with full administrative privileges). you can do that in your "user accounts" control panel. there's help documentation on it to the left of the screen. while you're in there, also switch off "fast user switching" in your logging-on preferences.
    now log on to the new user account. can you successfully launch itunes from inside there?
    keep us posted on your progress.
    love, b

    I had the same issue. I found a solution under a different thread posted by scubastevee32. It worked for me. I copied pasted his solution below.
    after countless hours of dead ends.... I found this to fix the problem(thank you "b noir")
    hat one could be being caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
    so let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

    iTunes always quit with the error message "

  • "(program).exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

    Hi, I was using Tweetdeck for the past few months without any problems. Recently, the application still works fine.. it opens as normal, all posts I am following appear etc., but when I try to send a tweet the application closes and I get the error
    "tweetdeck.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    I uninstalled tweetdeck and reinstalled it many times. Sometimes it would work for twenty minutes, other times not at all. I got fed up trying, so uninstalled it and downloaded Seesmic. This new application opened perfectly, all users I am following and their tweets updated perfectly, until again I went to post a tweet and it closes and I get the error
    "seesmic desktop.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    As these are the only two applications I have used that give me this error, and are also the only two applications I have used that are related to Adobe AIR, I can only assume the problem is connected somehow?
    I was wondering if any of you might have any suggestions on how I could fix this? I am not the most tech saavy guy, so any help would be greatly appreciated as I am starting to lose patience with it!
    Thanks in advance.

    You might try uninstalling the AIR runtime and re-installing it. You might also try contacting the developers of these applications to find out whether the problem is related to issues they already know about.

    Hi - thanks for the detailed reply.
    Yeah it still pops up though I've stopped all the MS applications - Word, Excel, Outlook.
    I Force Quit it in Activity Monitor but it pops back up again, almost immediately. It's like it's running in background, for want of a better term.

  • Handheld Application Loader Wizard has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

    I keep getting this message when i connect my new Bold 9900 and started getting it on my curve 8330 a couple months ago. I have the newest version of desktop manager 6.0 installed on both my laptop and my PC. The strange thing is it works flawlessly on my laptop, no error messages from either phone. Just got the new Bold last week, plugged it in to PC, same error. I have done alot of reading through the forums and have tried to uninstall and re-install the desktop software 3 or 4 times. Even tried upgrading the OS on the Curve and Bold on the Laptop. Plugged it back into the PC and same problem. I cannot force the Loader.exe to start on PC  when I click on it on the C:\program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion/Apploader, crashes right away. Even tired a method that outlines how delete registry entries, etc and tried that. Does anyone have any further ideas or more detailed way to resolve this. Seems to be desktop manager issue as no problems with same devices on laptop.
