1. I'm guessing this is just about the most SPECIFIC forum you could find for that at DU.

It's a pretty SLOW-MOVING forum, but some of the folks here
really know their stuff.

8. I want to download a song to use as my ringtone

The instructions (from the Apple site) say to look in my itunes folder and any song that can be used as a ringtone will have a bell in the small column next to the song title. I have probably over 1000 songs in my itunes file and NONE have this bell in the second column.

I checked and my itunes software is updated. So is my iphone.

So do you know how to use a song as a ringtone?

10. First of all, make sure you have the column activated in iTunes —

when you're in the "Music" part of your library, go to "View" and click on "View Options" at the bottom. A pop-up window will give you the options.

Remember, only songs that are purchased from iTunes will have the ringtone option; not stuff you've burned from your CDs or stuff that's acquired any other way (ahem).

Let me know if you've already done that.

11. Yes I did that - checked "view"

Edited on Wed Oct-24-07 12:46 PM by proud2Blib

My library is mixed - some songs I have imported from CDs and some I have purchased from itunes. But like I said, NONE of the thousands of songs are able to be used as a ringtone.

Is there any way I can check one particular song before I buy it from itunes? To see if it is available as a ringtone? I already have the song on CD. So I wouldn't want to buy it unless it is available as a ringtone.

BTW, the song I want to use is "Let's Impeach the President" by Neil Young :)

12. I just searched in iTunes, and even though that song has no bell symbol,

Edited on Wed Oct-24-07 12:59 PM by NYCGirl

it's listed as one of the top ringtones for Neil Young. Maybe iTunes is messed up right now?

:shrug:

I would check on my iTunes library (where about 20% of my songs are ring-toneable, last time I checked), but I'm in the office, and there's nothing on the iTunes library on this computer.

Edited to add: Just checked "John Lennon" at iTunes (comparing to what I have in my library at home), and the bell symbol shows up a lot there. (Again, when you're searching on iTunes, make sure the ringtone column is turned on.)

13. Thanks!

I am at work too and my itunes folder is on my home computer. I'll check it again when I get home. And I might PM you if that's okay. Thanks for the help!

4. If you need a more specifically-focused "Mac Question" website...

...I've had good luck asking some pretty irrelevant
and esoteric questions on the forums at http://www.everymac.com/.

I haven't been by there in a while, but I just checked and, sure enough,
they've got an iPhone Q&A section now.

5. You could try Apple's own support forums
