Ringtone setup using 'Garageband'

I hope somebody can help me. I am following a video that shows (step by step) how to create a custom ring-tone for my iPhone. I know which section of the 'song' I want (already on iTunes).

However, I'm stuck at the point where it tells you to drag the song wanted to a window which then shows sound bite. When I go to play it - it doesn't play the entire song; it cuts off after about 8 bars of music.

The section I want is after where it cuts off, so I can't edit or cut it to the desired sound. Why isn't it playing the entire song? How do I get it to play more of the song so that I can work with it??? to get the ringtone I want.

It's my first time using 'garageband' and so I'm not very familiar with it; but I just want to get past this roadblock - for now.

Anybody?

Thank you.

Hey, the reason it’s getting cut off is because apple is dumb and they only allow ringtones that are about 30 seconds long, but even if you do have it less than 30 seconds the system isn’t able to recognize that and assumes it’s longer. So really you only have 15 seconds. This would probably be why it cuts off.

What I'm trying to do is 'create a ringtone' from a track I have on iTunes. I thought I'd try 'garageband' for starters. I got as far as dragging the track to the window in 'Garageband'. When I play it, it plays the 1st 30 seconds of the song! When the ringtone that I want is about 45 seconds into the song.

Using Garageband; is there anyway to drag or lengthen the track so then I can create the ringtone? It's more about using 'Garageband' than it is about 'Apple'!
