USing a song from my collection for Ringtone?

If I have a song from a CD I own that the iTunes store shows can be made into a ringtone, can I do it? Or do I have to buy the actual song and then ringtone from the store?

I didn't know how either but after learning from trial and error, I got it and will gladly explain to you.
Open Garage Band, select Create New Music Project.
Provide name for your project, "+Name of Song+ Ringtone" and select create.
Mine opens with a keyboard on the screen so I close out the instrument to get out of my way.
At the bottom right corner, there is a music note icon, click on it and it will open to your itunes music library.
Select the song and drag it onto the grey area of the screen (loop area).
Now you can play your song and begin to cut out the sections you don't need, just keeping the section you want for your "custom ringtone"
Use the scissor icon and the lower section will appear where you can cut out the sections out.
After you have cut out the front and end portions of your song, be sure to drag the remaining portion of song to the left so it will begin a 1 of the ruler.
That can be done by grabbing the song on the top section of the screen, not the editing lower portion of screen and pulling it to the beginning of the loop area.
Once that is done, click on Share, Send Ringtone to iTunes.
A message will appear indicating you to adjust the length of your ringtone, select Adjust
A yellow bar will appear below the ruler and all you need to do is click on this and pull it over the length of your section
I've found that it's best to keep your section no longer then 15
Once the yellow area is adjusted to the length of your ringtone, select Share, Send Ringtone to iTunes and it will begin.
The ringtone will play on your iTunes and be saved in a Ringtone file within iTunes
When you iphone is connected to your mac, pull the ringtone from your library to your ringtone file on your phone.
Then you can go to setting on your iPhone, sounds, and select your Custom Ringtone as your ringer.
Hope this helps

  • How do I download songs from iTunes Match for offline or spotty coverage?

    I have a 64GB iPhone and want to be able to DOWNLOAD songs from iTunes match for use when I have spotty 3G coverage (or no coverage, or only expensive coverage, or on an airplane). How can I do this? Right now iTunes is not using any of my data storage on my phone for previously downloaded songs for future use (caching).

    What you want to do actually has nothing to do with iTunes Match. What you need to do is enable automatic downloads in iTunes. Open iTunes prefs > Store and select the option for, at least, "music" and click OK. Now any music you buy will be downloaded to your iTunes library automatically. But iTunes will need to be running for this to happen.

  • Can I use downloaded songs from iTunes into iMovie and burn DVDs?

    If I use downloaded songs from iTunes in iMovie, will I be able to make DVDs of my movie without losing music files?

    Hi A
    Probably but iMovie and I guess iDVD is fussy about in what format the audio
    is in. It should be 48k/.aiff
    If You in iTunes make an audio CD with the material You need in Your movie
    and then Use this CD in iMovie it will work.

  • Updated iPhoto could no longer use the music from iTunes library for slideshow

    Anybody checked if you can still use your music from iTunes library for slideshows?
    After updating both iPhoto and iTunes to the latest version in Mavericks, all music links in the iPhoto's slideshows became invalid. Tried even to re-establish the music links, but it seems like the iPhoto would not play any music from the iTunes library. Only the sample music from iPhoto is usable. The iTunes works fine by the way.
    Thanks a lot!

    I think I found a workaround that seemed to correct the problem. In iTunes, go to the File menu and choose Library. Then select Organize Library. Next choose Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media".  Click OK.

  • Using songs from media player as ringtones on x3

    i have transferred some songs from my pc to my phone but cant seem to set any of them as a ringtone, the songs on the phone are originally from my cd collection.
    is it possible to set as rington? if so how??
    please help

    The ringtone search should find all compatible file types from anywhere in the phone, so there should not be an issue.
    However, it does depend on the format - the X3 can only use Midi, MP3, AMR, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA files as ringtones, whilst thre are other formats that the phone can play in media player (including M4A, WAV etc.) which cannot be used as tones, so if the music is in a non-compatible format for tones it won't be found.
    Also note that some DRM-protected audio files are prevented by their DRM from being used as tones.

  • How to set song from music player as ringtone

    Hi,
    I want to a song from my music Player as a ringtone, please advice
    Bhushan

    Songs and ringtones have different formats.  They are not interchangeable.  You would have to convert a song into a ringtone.
    If you have a Mac, you could use the GarageBand app to do that.  If you have a PC, there are apps to do the conversion, but I cannot name one.
