I have a should be some what easy question. Anyone able to help that would be great :)

Now i when i 1st got my iphone you use to be able to go onto itunes and find a song that you can download and then it could be made into a ringtone ( depending on song, etc..)

So when searching you would see like a small bell like icon next to song title or some where telling you this song can be made into a ringtone.

Well now it seems there is no icon any matter and i can't tell which song can be made, anyone have any ideas how to figure out which songs is there something i need to turn on?

Because i really don't want to buy a song and hopes it can be made into one.


Any help will be great, yes i did send a email asking about this to apple but still waiting on a reply i figured i ask here as well.

Don't have an iPhone, so I won't be much use, but do you have ANY purchased music? If you do, I'd check that and see if it has the icon.

Select a song that you purchased from iTunes. Store > Create Ringtone.

Does the iPhone have any sort of external memory? Like a microSD card? If it does, you can just drag the song you wanna use into the appropriate folder there and then use it. That's how I get my ringtones for free. Instead of downloading a ringtone and paying for it, I just find a song I like and drag it to the appropriate folder and viola.

But, I don't have an iPhone, so I have no idea if that will work or not. And it certainly doesn't help with your problem.

You can do it. Fairly easily too. I don't have itunes open so this might be kinda choppy.

edit the song's properties and in the options, change the start/end to be the part of the song you want as a ringtone. you can have up to 40 seconds. apply it. now right click the song and click "create AAC" version. it should create a new file. right click the new file and click show in explorer/finder, or show original location, or whatever. rename the file extension to m4r.

delete the aac version from your itunes, then import the m4r.

easy process, but kind of time consuming. took me a long time to figure this out originally. good luck :)
