Tried to make a ringtone, I messed up the song

I tried to make a ringtone and now the song I as using will only play for 3 seconds. Even if I play it in the store, it will only play for 3 seconds. After I adjusted the start and stop time, it did not give me the short copy of that song. I have messed up 2 song actually.

Which step are you having trouble?
Go to iTunes prefs > General & set the Import options to AAC.
In iTunes, find the song you want and note the start/stop times you want the ring tone to be.
Right click > get info, click the Options tab and set the start/stop times as above. (Note a ~40 second max for ringtones)
Right click > Create AAC version. This creates a new file in iTunes.
Drag this new file from the iTunes window to the desktop.
Delete the file from iTunes and also select Delete from hard drive.
On the desktop, rename the file whateveryouwant.m4r (first part you can change to whatever you want & change the extension to .m4r).
Drag the file back to the iTunes library at top left.
Make sure iTunes prefs > General has Tones ticked.

  • 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.

  • What change to the firewall Java is trying to make when it is launched for the first time?

    We are upgrading our jpi from 7u60 to 7u67.  We are running EBS 12.1.  We are having issues trying to deploy this to the organization with zero prompts and messages.  We are getting a firewall prompt from the plugin the first time we launch EBS.  What change to the firewall is java trying to make when we launch the plugin from EBS the first time?  I have attached screen shots of the messages we are seeing.  The first screen shot is on Windows 7x86 and the second is on Windows 7x64.  The x86 is prompting for jp2launcher.exe
    while the x64 is prompting to allow java.exe.  This is the same software package for both instances and we are using the IE 32-bit browser.

    You haven't downgraded the iOS or lost any features, what you've done is restored your phone from an old iOS backup.

  • HT1212 im trying to reset my ipod with out deleting the songs

    i want to reset my ipod and it is disabled with out deleting thee songs on there

    You can't. If you could then the Disabled would be a poor security feature
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • I am trying to make a trend line that crosses the origin (0,0)

    I am in a Chemistry class and we are doing a density lab. For this, we have to make a trendline, along with an equation. Now I want the trendline to cross the origin because with density, you do have the point that zero mass has a zero density. We were told by our teacher that our equation should cross at the point (0,0). Also, I tried making a point (0,0) in my table, but it still left me with a y-intercept for the best fit line (it had a b, in the y=mx+b)
    How can I make the trendline intersect the origin and make the equation without a y-intercept. PLEASE HELP

    Use the LINEST function:
    LINES (known-y-values, known-x-values, nonzero-y-intercept, more-stats)
    nonzero-y-intercept: 
    An optional value specifying how the y intercept (constant b) should be calculated.
    normal (1, TRUE, or omitted):  The value of the y intercept (constant b) should be calculated normally.
    force 0 value (0, FALSE):  The value of the y intercept (constant b) should be forced to be 0.
    Details in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide, which may be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers '09.
    You will need a column on your table to hold the calculated values if you want to show the line on your graph.

  • I'm trying to make a round logo that simulates the shape of a cloud

    So I am starting with a 12 sided star vector and using effect>stylize>round corners I am trying to round of the outer corners so they appear as a somewhat cartoonish cloud. But in doing this, it rounds of the inner corneds too, replicating a sort of bottle cap shape. How do I make it round off only the outer corners? Please respond! Thankyou

    Are you trying to do something like this? I used a circle and the Bloat effect. Add the extra anchor points to the circle first.
