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 Note that it's entirely possible that the owner of the tracks in question may have withdrawn permission for Apple to sell them as ringtones; such things do happen from time to time.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.

Purchased songs can't be duplicated into iPod

I purchased some songs from iTMS and they are in my iTunes library and in a folder marked "Purchased" which automatically appeared when the first song was purchased. My problem is when I connect my iPod click wheel to my laptop, the purchased songs were not duplicated into my iPod unlike other songs that I copied from my CDs into my iTunes

It depends on your settings.
Did you set your iPod to automatically update all songs and playlist or update only selected playlists?
If the latter is the case, add the Purchased playlist to it.
You can add your purchases (they are in the Library) to any playlist you want.
Hope this helps.

New purchased songs can not be sync to an existing playlist...

I purchased 2 songs through iTunes' store after I have updated my iPhone to iOS 4.2.1.
There is an existing playlist and 10 tracks are in it.
I just relized, if I add these 2 new songs into this playlist via iPhone (I can see and play these 12 tracks on the phone), and then connect to Mac use iTune to backup, everything is working fine and purchased items will be transferred successfully *except these 2 songs will be removed out from the playlist* (the playlist is showing back to these 10 old tracks)
Tried it many times and all same, never happened this before...
Looks like the new songs can never be added into an existed playlist.
Is anyone facing the same issue?

Hi ,
Reconcilation is for linking the account basically not for populating of attributes.
For this you may have to try activeysnc or bulk load.
IN active Sync you can set the active sync form where the attribute can be set.
In bulk load, you can give the command option , give all the users and then the attributes and values you want to populate.

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.

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?

Can armatures be made into nested animation (symbol/movies)?

1) Can armatures be made into nested animation (symbol/movies)?
I made a dragon character and animated the body with the amature(bone tool) in flash cs5. I was having trouble trying get it to become a nested animation and make it into a symbol/movie. I heard you are suppose to select all the animated frames using EDIT> TIMELINE>COPY FRAMES, then pasting the animated frames into new symbol/movie. I have no luck with that, the menu becomes dimmed out from copying the frame...I'm not sure if nesting animations with amatures is possible? Any ideas? Thanks.
I was planning to get the body into nested animation, then attached seperate movie with flagging wings along a guide path.
2) Second question. I don't know why flash cs5 is exporting it's animation a lot differently from gif to swf. In the gif format it doesn't show the nest animation. Here's an example. The wings on the dragon animate fine in swf format but when converted to gif. The wings don't move.

It's very interesting -- there's some bug in the file -- even if some layers are not visible, when I double-click the text layer you are supposed to edit (the Symbol), other layers with text start to appear...
Not sure what's causing this. I would suggest to log a bug here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
...explain the steps and attache the PNG.
And if you break the Symbol apart (select it > Modify > Symbol > Break apart) and then try to edit the text, all works normally as expected. Use this as a workaround -- I don't have a better suggestion for now...
I have made the tests with Fw CS5...

HT1688 how do i get a purchased song from itunes to be my ringtone

Please help me. I do not know how to take a purchased song and download it so it becomes my ringtone?? any help

There are a number of free utilities and options for creating ringtones for music that does not include DRM protection.
If the song you downloaded from the iTunes store includes DRM protection - not an iTunes Plus song, you must purchase the ringtone separate if a ringtone is available for purchase with a segment of the song.

How do I set a purchased song from iTunes to be my ringtone

I was trying to set a ringtone for my new iPhone, so I went to the store and downloaded a song but it does not play as my ringtone. How do I get it to play as my ringtone?

You can't outright. You can extract a fragment of it and massage it into ringtone format for the phone to use. Search for the topic, the procedure has been posted in various occasions.

Hp deskjet ink advantage x64 Allowed /can it be made into a wireless printer

I have HP deskjet ink advantage 2060 All-in-one-k110. can i make it into a eprinter by adding any software .is it possible?

Hello @dine2k4 ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that you are looking for some type of software that would make the 2060 ePrint capable.
I would like to help.
Unfortunately, a printer would have to be on a network to use ePrint.
It would also require a firmware update.
The deskjet 2060, according to the Specs, is USB only.
One option available is the HP 1200w NFC/Wireless Mobile Print Accessory.
The other is to purchase a printer with the ePrint feature.

Recently purchased song and another I transfered into my ITunes library vannot be set up in a playlist.I get the message"file cannot be located".Originally I could listen to the purchased song but now that will no longer play.What do I need to do to ?

Recently purchased a song from ITunes and another that I downloaded from a CD will not transfer to a playlist and will not even allow me to listen to the songs.I get the message "file cannot be located"What can I do to get my system to locate the file?Originally I could play the songs from my desktop and I was able to transfer to my IPad.

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

After purchasing a new mac, none of the purchased songs can be played.

I recently purchase a new iMac 3.4 Intel Core i7. After transferring all files, including iTunes library, I find I cannot play, share, or burn to an audio CD any of the songs I purchase from the iTunes Store. I keep getting an error message: "This computer is not authorized to play or burn (name of song). However, my computer is authorized. Help?

ITunes Purchased Songs Can't Be Used on non Apple Music Devices?

I just bought some music off iTunes, and was under the impression that it would be able to work on other music players as well, ex. my cellphone has mp3 capability. Can iTunes music be played on cell phones? Will I have to burn the album onto a CD then reload it onto my computer and transfer that file to my phone? Help? Please? Thanks .

If it is listed as an iTunes plus song, it will be DRM-free an you can use it on your phone.
If it is a regular iTunes song (non-plus), you'll have to go through the steps you listed.

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