After you open the iTunes application select "iTunes Store" in the left panel.
On the top right corner below the "Search iTunes Store" you should see your ID for the store. Click on it.
Enter your password and click on "View Account".
Click "Purchase History" and then click "Report a problem".
On your latest purchases you should now be able to click on the link "Report a problem", select the "Problem" and enter your "Comments".

  • I am trying to make a ringtone from my itunes on iphone 5 and ios7.  It says "this song cannot be used as a ringtone" on every song in itunes.  Any ideas?

    I just upgraded to an iphone 5 and using ios 7.  I downloaded an app and trying to make a ringtone from my itunes but every song in itunes that I select it says, sorry, this song can't be used as a ringtone.  Anyone know why?

    Hey csumner1,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
    Resolution
    Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
    Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
    1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
              - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
    5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
              - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
              - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
              - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
              - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
    6. Restore using iTunes.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • 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.

  • "...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.

  • 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

  • Purchased song cant be made into ringtone?

    I know that we have to purchase a song from iTunes to make it into a ringtone so I did, but to only find out that it can't be made into a ringtone.
    I already have the song on my computer (I ripped it from my cd's) and so I have two copies, a worthless one that can't even be made into a ringtone, and one that I have on my iPod.
    What should I do since we can't make my own customizable ringtones?
    or is there something that we can make my own ringtones?

    As for bought songs you need to make sure it has a bell icon next to it in the iTunes store. Only those songs can be made into ringtones (not all songs are available).
    As for custom. Well, you can look for the software mentioned, but you can also do it yourself quite easily if you know a little about how to use a computer and find the instructions online. With iTunes 7.5 and iPhone firmware 1.1.2 one can make their own ringtones pretty easy (at least easy for me).
    Sorry, cannot post instructions here as they have deleted past posts about it.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Error: this song cannot be played because the original file cannot be found

    I recently purchased a new computer and restored my music to the new computer. Although all of my songs are being displayed in the itunes library only half will play. When I try to play the remaining songs I get a message that says "this song cannot be played because the original file cannot be found". I'm at a loss and need help because all of the songs are in the same folder.

    Hi
    I've pretty much got exactly the same problem. We've just replaced our old computer with a laptop and I've transferred my iTunes library over but I can't open almost all of my songs as "the original file couldn't be found." I've tried the "locate" prompt but that gives me so many different options, all to no avail. However, I have added a few new CDs since transferring the library to the laptop and they open up without any problems.
    Can anyone help? I've got to go through all of this again soon as my daughters both have ipods as well!

  • Loaded SWF file CANNOT be made into button DIRECTLY?

    I'm experiencing a problem which may have no solution, but I
    would like to know why I cannot do what I want to do.
    PROBLEM:
    I am attempting to load in an external SWF file and once it
    is loaded, I wish to directly make the new Sprite/MovieClip into a
    button. However, the newly loaded Sprite/MovieClip seems to be
    resistant to be made into a button DIRECTLY. I would like to know
    why this is.
    WORKAROUNDS:
    Here are a couple of workarounds, but again I wish to know
    why I cannot do what I want to do.
    1) I place the new Sprite/MovieClip into an empty Sprite on
    stage and make the once empty sprite into a button.
    2) Construct the external SWF in such a way so i can refer to
    a MovieClip within the SWF file and make that MovieClip into a
    button.
    CODE EXAMPLE:
    I am loading a SWF file thru a Loader and then taking the
    loaded SWF file and adding it to an existing sprite on the stage. I
    then attempt to make a button out of the newly loaded swf file, but
    it fails to be clickable.
    The following is some quick code to illustrate my problem. I
    already have workarounds in place, so please let me know WHY the
    following code is impossible. thanks!
    ==============================================================================

    There should be no problem with what you are trying to do. If
    you want someone to look at what you've done, you have to be
    careful to show that and not possibly errant code because that is
    the substance of your post and what you requested be looked at--we
    cannot guess what you may have done wrong in setting things up or
    for code that you do not show.
    I tried your code before posting my response and it worked
    fine except for your error with the COMPLETE aspect. I did not
    utilize any objects for loading things into, so I suggest you look
    there.

  • This method cannot be translated into a store expression

    I am using oracle entity framework with .net 4.0 & i am trying to use UDF function within LINQ query but facing the following error:

    LinQ to entities does not recognize the method System.Data.Objects.ObjectResult and this method can not be translated into a store expression
    What you are being told is the EF P-SQL engine cannot genterate P-SQL based on the Linq query you have created. You can't use the Linq query in the manner in which you are trying to use it. And you need to try something else.

  • Once you create an alias it cannot be made into its own account.

    I did not read about this restriction.
    Now I need to convert my sons alias into independent account (with their credit).
    Could anybody in Apple help me? Also with a paid support ticket. Regards.

    I do not understand the reasons. This should have been one of the meaning an alias was for.
    Now i have my sons' iCloud aliases useless and tied to my account... That's unbelievable nobody from Apple can't help me to get out from this!

  • 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?

  • What? Now those purchased songs can't be made into ringtones?

    Well, I buy a lot of music from the iTunes music store, and I have an iPhone. Perfect. Now I can make my own ringtones!
    Well, it used to be that way. I made three ringtones about 6 months ago. Recently, however, I began to realize that fewer and fewer of the songs in my library had the ringtone button. What's going on? I even checked the songs that I had already made into a ringtone, and even THEY were missing the button?
    A quick check on the iTunes Music Store shows me that many of the albums I have purchased are able to be turned into ringtones. Why, then, can I not do that? I ALREADY BOUGHT THEM, and indeed I already used some of them!
    I called apple and was informed that I must repurchase the songs, because they had been "updated." Really? If that is the case, and I must repurchase songs that I have already purchased, just so I can then further purchase 30 seconds of that song for a ringtone, then I quit. If there really is no other way, then I will never buy from iTunes Music Store again. I am a long time Mac customer and music enthusiast, and I will NOT be punished for trying to do things the legal way.
    Is there any other way?

    Anyone you might have reached on the phone will have no knowledge about the issue; the iTunes Store does not have any telephone support, and the Apple tech support reps have no information about the iTunes Store products or policies.
    First, make sure that you're running the latest version of iTunes and that you're connected to the US iTunes Store (look for the My Country link at the bottom of the main iTunes Store page; I presume you are since you say some tracks do show the ringtone icon). If both are correct, you can contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Contact page and explain the problem to them. Note that it's entirely possible that the owner of the tracks in question may have withdrawn permission for Apple to sell them as ringtones; such things do happen from time to time.
    Good luck.
