iTunes Store Ringtone

From your iTunes Music Library, select a song that you've purchased from the iTunes Store.

Choose Store > Create Ringtone

If a song is eligible for custom ringtone creation, the Ringtone Editor appears at the bottom of the screen. If a song is not eligible, you will see the message: "This song cannot be made into a ringtone."

If your bell icon column disappeared as mine did, you can go into your iTunes music library and go up to the top bar where you see name, artist, album, etc. and right click and a window will open up. Put a check mark next to 'ringtone' and that bell icon column will show up and you should see bells next to the songs you can create ringtones for. When you click on the bell...a fade in/fade out bar shows up at bottom...and this is where you can pick any 30 seconds out the song that you want. Once you pick that 30 seconds...you can click 'Buy' and then you have your ringtone. 🙂

Isn't it possible to get the bell symbol in the iTunes Store?

No.

This is how its done in the Store:

Choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and then make sure Ringtones is selected.

Make sure you’re connected to the Internet.

Select the song you want to use, and then choose Store > Create Ringtone.

In the editing window that appears, choose the part of the song you want to use as the ringtone.

If a song is not eligible, you will see the message: "This song cannot be made into a ringtone."

You can use up to 30 seconds of the song.


When you’re ready, click Buy.

IMPORTANT: After you click Buy, you can change the ringtone’s name and other information, but you can’t select a different portion of the song.

Your only other option is to go into the iTunes store from your iPhone and there is a ringtone tab at the bottom...or you can use the search to type in a specific song. I have bought them that way too! 😉

I purchaswed 8 ringtones from the apple store, they downloaded to my "music" folder and I can't get them into the "ringtones" folder. When I highlight the item, go to "store" and to "create ringtone" it asks if I want to purchase it again! Can you help?

You bought a sound file that must now be made into a ringtone. When you "Create a ringtone" you have to pay for the ringtone. Yes, you pay twice.

There are many free ways to create ringtones. Google will find them.

So that means I have to download songs from the iTunes Store over and over to find out which ones work?

No. Read my post carefully again.

So there is no way to search on itunes store to see which songs can be bought for a ringtone?
