Using itunes songs as ringtones???

hey everyone, i was hoping someone could help me with something ive been trying to figure out. actually, i dont even 100% know that its possible im just going by word of mouth. I have a friend who apparently uses songs from his itunes library for his cell phone, or so he says. i wanted to know if any of you have done this, if its possible, and...how do i do it?
Thanks.
  Windows XP  

I have had same problem. I have done this before, and just attempted again on my new iphone 5, using this link http://smartphonething.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/make-free-ringtone-for-iphone-5-v ia.html
but even though i can easily change my file to m4r, i dont have the option in itunes 11 to do the 9th step, as it no longer has the 'keep file' option. Any ideass how to overcome this?

  • Using iTune songs as ringtones problem?

    Hi all, my very first post and no doubt its been asked a million times but I did a quick search and couldn't find it so hence my question!
    I have over 200 songs in my iTunes that I used to put on my iPod Shuffle. I upgraded my Blackberry Bold to an iPhone 4 that turned up yesterday. My problem is, that I can't seen to get any of the songs that are now on this phone to work as a ringtone. I did a search online that showed how to use songs bought off iTunes and downloaded straight to the phone as ringtones and also a thread on appleblog? that showed how to shorten down a song to be used as a ringtone but it then had posts underneath the thread saying it wasn't a compatible way of making ringtones with the newer iPhone 4.
    Do I have to repay for songs I already have and have already bought through iTunes again to make it a ringtone as thats a bit of a swizz isn't it or am I just doing something wrong?
    My iPhone knowledge is basic as I've owned it now for a day lol !!
    If its needed its an iPhone 4 I have with OS 4.1 installed
    Thanks in advance

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I convert itunes songs to ringtones

    I have just purchased on iphone 4.  I have many songs that I bought through the iTunes store that I wish to convert to ringtones.  I have tried several apps such as Ringtone Maker, Myxer, etc., and I get to the point where it just fails.  Either I can't copy the file to my desktop, or the songs won't sync to my phone or something else happens.  I watched ste-p-by-step videos of one app and when it gets to the next step, it won't allow me to do that option so I can't "finish".  Then on another, the text instructions don't give me an option that shows in the list.  Does anyone know of an app that works to convert these already-purchased songs, or some way that I can use my songs to convert them to ringtones.  I called Apple Support and they were no help since they don't support any of the "other-owned" apps on the iPhone.  I paid a lot of money for this phone, and even more in all the iTunes I purchased, there's got to be something I can do.  I love this phone, but the small choice of silly ringtones is the only thing I don't like about it.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • How do I make a downloaded iTunes song the ringtone on my iPhone?

    Could someone please tell me how?
    Thanks!

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and then tap the home button. You should hear the camera shutter sound as it takes the screenshot.

  • Using Itunes To Make Ringtones

    I was trying to use Itunes to edit some song files. I wanted to create some ringtones for my phones, like extracting the first couple of second from a song and making a new file to use as a ringtone. Can anyone help me out?
      Windows XP  

    You need to set the start & stop time of the song you want (right-click, 'Get Info'), then convert (Advanced=>Convert selection) the song into the format you need for the phone (most likely MP3).
    This will create another file in the format you need and within the time constraints you selected. Port that file over to your phone.
    Post back if you have more questions.

  • ITunes song to Ringtone???

    Hello from a new iPhone user,
    Can someone tell me if it's possible to use a downloaded iTunes song for a ringtone? And, how to make it work?
    Thank you,
    BL12

    I use Ringtone Maker with Windows XP
    Select a song in Ringtone Maker, let it record and save.
    When you sync, save from apps area ringtonemaker to a folder you can find on your computer.
    Drag ringtone from folder to ringtone area in itunes.
    Select ringtone in itunes >iphone> ringtones.
    Sync
    In phone settings, choose ringtone to use n the custom ringtone area.
    Also, there is a good help section in Ringtone Maker that explains the process.

  • Using iTunes songs in Adobe Photoshop Slideshow

    I purchased a song through iTunes that I would like to use in a slide show I've created in Adobe Photoshop. I have to use an mp3, wav or wma audio file for my slide show and the song I want to use is MPEG-4 Audio File (Protected). Is there any way to use this song (i.e. convert it to a useable file)? If not, any idea where I can purchase songs in mp3 format?
    Thanks!

    Have you tried adding a DRM-Free song to your home
    movies? See if that produces the same result.
    DRM-Free songs are obtained either by
    buying/upgrading through iTunes Plus or by importing
    from an audio CD.
    Yes, that works but unfortunately none of them will sometimes fit in with a specific scene I'm editing. I would like to be able to go to iTunes and buy just one song that I need for that specific scene and iTunes Plus doesn't contain that much yet....I could - of course - burn the song to a CD. At the rate I make family movies, I would end up with a lot of CD's with one song on each because when I make a movie, I want the song ASAP. Well, c'est la vie...

  • Help N86 - Can't use my songs as ringtone

    Hello All,
    I am new to my N86.
    I don't seem to be able to use any song in the album as ringtones.  Can any body tell me if this is a possible feature in N86 (was in my previous N85), and if it is, how do I get it to work?
    Many Thanks!

    go to profiles then ringtone select options the pick from gallery
    or open music folder then open all music find your tone select options and use tone.

    There is a difference between the passcode and the sync key.<br />
    The passcode allows to setup all sync parameters with a single code on other devices.<br />
    To enter the sync key (and user name and password) you need to click on "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom of the "Add a Device" window (Click Connect).

  • Use iTunes songs w/ Windows Movie Maker?

    Is there anyway to make it so i can use my iTunes songs with my windows movie maker? I have some songs on there i want to use for background music. If there is anyway please tell me.
    Thanks,
    ~Jordon~

    *I paid for the song and should be able to do whatever I want with it.*
    They protect it because it is not yours to do with whatever you want, just as a CD is not yours to do with whatever you want.
    A copyright allows you to do certain things but it also does not allow you to do certain things such as selling it or relabel it and call it yours.

  • Problem using iTunes songs in slideshow

    I am having a problem using a custom playlist from iTunes. I created a playlist in iTunes, pulled down the songs I wanted to include in the slideshow from the list and it worked. I tried to adjust the length of some songs by using the start and stop time on the Get Info Options tab in iTunes. That worked fine and the songs were shorter. Now that I have added a few more slides and want to adjust the length of the songs again iPhoto will not recognize the changes. Even though the start and stop boxes are no longer checked in iTunes, iPhoto still plays the shorter version of the song. I tried removing it from the custom playlist, I removed them from the iTunes playlist but nothing is working to get the song back to its original length. Can anyone offer any advice? I need to get this fixed before Saturday!

    You might try creating a duplicate playlist in iTunes, "Second Try" and copy all the tracks from the first playlist to the second playlist. Now in iPhoto remove the original playlist and add the new playlist. If iPhoto thinks you are adding a different playlist, it may re-read all the tracks properly this time around.
