Ringtones for iPhone

There is supposed to be an icon next to the songs in the store. Look for the icon and that means there is a ringtone.

I did notice that while browsing the iTunes music store, if you go up to 'View' and 'View Options', there is a 'Ringtone' option to be checked. It shows a new column when browsing for music, but it appears to be empty on every single song I looked at.

"Coming Soon"

It's up and running. You can click on any song in your purchased list (even if there is no bell), then click on Store > Create Ringtone. If the song can be made into a ringtone, the ringtone maker will pop up in the bottom of iTunes, and you can edit, preview, and buy the ringtone. If it cannot be made into a ringtone, it will tell you.

I've tried to add a couple of ringtones but it will not load up the editor. I click on a song that has the bell on it. For about 2 seconds a window opens at the bottom of my itunes - looks like the editor - but then it closes again right away. I look in the ringtones tab and nothing is there. Help?

I sleect a song in Purchased playlist, right-click, "Create Ringtone".
I sign into the store to "buy", editor briefly appears then says _ can NO LONGER be made into a ringtone"... ***????

Thanks for providing an explanation, I couldn't find any help at Apple.

Deauthorize your iTunes for store access. Restart your machine. Reauthorize your iTunes store account. There are some definite bugs things should be smoother in a few days.

I'm having the same problem with two songs I bought today. "Song can no longer be made into a ringtone". what a ripoff!

does re-authorizing computer fix the problem? can anyone confirm this?

So... I have many songs already purchased that have the Ringtones icon displayed. However, when I attempt to purchase the ringtone, and I am asked for my password, it is not recognized. I've used that account/password recently to purchase iTunes, so it's a valid password. I've even reset it. I can purchase tunes, but not ringtones. What's up widdat?

Is this US only at present? - I don't get the Store>Ringtone option at all (Latest iTunes version, and UK iPhone)

Has anyone been able to fix this problem yet. I am still having this problem. It appears to be creating a ringtone, then asks for my password, I enter it and nothing happens. It just continues to ask for my password. I have tried to deauthorize and then authorize, but didn't seem to work. Help!

I have the same problem. I can't even make a ring tone from music I have already purchased (and it has the ring tone icon next to it too)!? Keeps asking for my id and password endlessly. This truly does suck. I am losing patience with the Apple ringtones @ iTunes. I tried the e-mail support ...NOTHING! I give up on the iTunes / ring tones junk!

Hey guys,

I have the same issue: I just can't create a ringtone using iTunes 7.5 at all! I just can't make the ringtone symbol appear: I can't select it from the viewing options (when music is selected), nor when I right-click on a purchased song nor when I de-authorize and authorize back my Mac.

This is really a pain in the a * as there seems to be no bug fix from Apple available at all.

So the only way I can create ringtones, is to use a little detour (not using Garage band by the way) and in this way I can create a ring tone from nearly any of my songs but it is taking a few steps (and hence time) so using iTunes would be a lot nicer of course.

So..does anyone have a solution on how to make the ringtone symbol appear in iTunes 7.5?


Thanks for any help!
