It would seem you can't use a song bought in itunes because of Apples digital rights copy protection but you can use one that's been ripped from a CD or bought and downloaded as an MP3 from another site ie; Amazon into itunes. You can then use the GarageBand app on your Mac to convert it.
1. Click the media browser button to reveal the media browser pane.
2. Click the disclosure triangle to reveal the contents of your itunes library.
3. Click your itunes music library to reveal it's contents.
4. Click the song you want to turn into a ringtone and drag it onto the timeline.
5. Click the cycle region button to enable the cycle region.
6. Click in the middle of the cycle region and drag it to the portion of the song you want to use as your ringtone.
7. Fine tune the beginning and end points by clicking and dragging the cycle region's left and right edges.
8. Click the play button to hear your work. when your happy with it, choose share, then send ringtone to itunes.
For best results it's best to keep the ringtone to under 30 seconds.
The next time you sync, your new ringtone becomes available on your iphone. to use it as your ringtone tap settings, tap sounds, tap ringtone, and then tap the ringtone in the list of available sounds. To associate it with a specific contact or contacts, find the contact in either the contacts app or the phone app's contact tab, tap ringtone and then tap the ringtone in the list of available sounds.
