Why can't I create a ringtone?

I've got some purchased music from iTunes store which I'd like to turn into ringtones but the little bell icon is missing and indeed there is no bell icon on any of music which means that I don't seem to be able to create one. I have tried just to click on store and create ringtone but it says it can not connect me to the iTunes store? any ideas anyone?
aside from this I do adore my iPhone!

Since you did not fill out your profile fully, I have to only assume that maybe you live in the UK. If so. Ringtones via iTunes is not avaiable there (only in US). They are working on it. In meantime, search the forums here (go page by page) there are quite a few threads about how to make your own.

Why can't I create a ringtone from my music on iTunes?

I have just been looking at the instructions for making a 30 second ring tone from my music collection. The option doesn't seem available to me and the advice states
'Ringtones are only available for purchase from the U.S. iTunes Store.'
So if I'm based in the Uk how can I do this?
Thanks

Creating a ringtone is very easy using iTunes 8.x.
It has to be a non-drm song though.
1) In iTunes click the song you want to make a ring tone from.
2) Then in iTunes, go to File -->Get Info.
3) In that now open screen go to Options. In that window, define the Start Time and the End Time by entering both in the boxes (that should automatically check the check box as well). Click OK.
4) Go to Advanced -->Create AAC Version. That will then create a duplicate version of the song, but it will only be of the length you set in Step 3.
5) Highlight that song title, then drag it do your desktop.
6) Edit the song title file extension to change the last letter to "r". You'll be prompted for the "Are you sure...." check, select OK.
7) IMPORTANT -- now with the duplicated song highlighted in your iTunes, go to Edit -->Delete to remove that short version. You MUST do this or iTunes will not let you add the ring tone you placed on your desktop to your library.
8) Drag from the desktop your ringtone to iTunes Library (left hand in frame menu). That will add it to your Ring Tones library (and/or create a Ring Tones tab if for some reason you didn't already have one).
9) Sync your iPhone as usual, ensuring in your synch preferences you have authorized the synching of ring tones.
10) IMPORTANT -- now go back to the original song track, go back to File -->Get Info and ensure that you deselect the two boxes checked in Step 3 (else you'll limit your next play of this track to 15 or 30 or whatever seconds!).
That's all there is to it! It is very easy to do and once you've done it a couple of times you'll be creating a ring tone in about 30 seconds.

Why can't I create a response to an email from the Viewer window?

Why can't I create a response to an email from the Viewer window?
When I select an email to respond to in the viewer window and click on the respond arrow that appears just under the header, a new response email opens for a split second then disappears.
I have to actually click on and open the email message in its own screen to be able to then click on the respond arrow and succeed in having Mail open a response email that I can edit - one that remains open.
This seems to be a bug that we need to have squashed.

Do I have to connect the iPad to a computer to make this work? Is the fact that I used another email address to set up my Apple ID years ago causing the problem? A friend of mine just got a new iPod and he was able to set up a me.com account. I am feeling rather stupid. Hope someone here can help.

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

FormsCentral can be used from anywhere, but to purchase a subscription you need a credit card with the mailing address in one of the countries supported for purcahse:

The partner can purchase if they have access to a card in one of those countries. Alternatively they do not need to purchase a subscription to edit forms that you've created, they do in order to create multiple forms of their own, but by your sharing forms with them at the "Co-author" level they have access to the editing. Here are the instructions to share a form:

You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

Why can't I create property nodes for item in STRICT typedef cluster?

I've tried this in LV7.0/WIN2k and LV 7.1/OSX - both versions work the same.
I have a TYPEDEF consisting of a cluster of items A, B, and C.
I have a front-panel instance of this typedef.
Under certain conditions, I want to disable and gray Item C, because it's not applicable.
So I need a property node connected to item C.
If the typedef is STRICT, then I cannot create such a property node - the menu item to create anything is just not there.
If I change to NON-STRICT, then I can create the property node.
I can change it back to STRICT, and the property node works just fine.
The question is, if the nodes WORK normally, why can I not CREATE one?
If there's some sense behind this, someone please point it out to me...

I agree with you, It would be nice to be able to keep the non strict typedef auto-update and extend it to properities which effect the look of a control. I am not sure why you can change the properities on a strict typedef. A strict typedef should have private properities (can only be changed from within the definition and no public other vi scope for writing these values. I have in the past used a custom control for presentation purposes and contained the structure of the data to be displayed within the typedef cluster. This is not all that automatic since we need vi's to convert between the definition and control. Seperating data structure from presentation is much like XML where the file only contains data structure and a reference to a style for presentation. It would be a very nice option to allow nonstrict typedefs to have an additional auto-update properities which could be toggled on and off. I would be curious to here others opinions on how to keep data structure and presentation consistant across an application without being tied down to a strict typedef (allowing the optional change of teh presentation at runtime).

Hi There,
1) This is the OBIEE forum, by the sounds of your question, which doesnt have much detail, Im guessing you want the OLAP forum for AWM related issues.
2) Trying to help, I guess your trying to create the AW cube views, what version of AWM are you using ? It was first provided as a plug in but Im pretty sure the latest version of AWM ships with the functionality.
BTW I'd try posting in here : OLAP

The whole feature that allows images to be entered inline with text is messed up when using Firefox. And you can't make any image a hyperlink! This is a really useful feature that I hate to resort to IE for!! Why can't Firefox get this to work if IE can?? Firefox is better in every way except this one!!

As mentioned earlier, you can create as many triggers in the same script as you want to. Whether you use 5 scripts, or 1, or none at all, you have to put a / after the final END; statement in each one. Follow that by SHOW ERRORS to get complete error messages.
END;
SHOW ERRORSPersonally, I prefer having a separate script to create each object. If you want to have one script that calls 5 other scripts, use the SQL*Plus START (or @) command. If the 5 child scripts are on the same directory as the parent script, then you can call them like this:
