Custom ringtones disappeared and won't sync now.

I created several custom ringtones in December and synced them to my iPhone. A couple of weeks ago I unchecked the Christmas songs so they wouldn't sync. After that all my custom ringtones disappeared from the phone even though they were still showing under the ringtone tab and some were checked. I have tried everything from deauthorizing/reauthorizing my computer, to deleting the ringtones. I have been able to get one ringtone into iTunes, but it won't sync. Can anyone out there help me. I love my custom ringtones and miss them.

When you are purchasing a ringtone. You first can purchase the song and then (second purchase) purchase the ringtone. Many ways to do it. From computer or iPhone.

On iPhone it will automatically show in settings>sounds>ringtone at the top under purchased or custom depending upon how you purchase it.

From iPhone: iTunes (purple icon)>ringtones> select ringtone and tap purchase.

From Computer: You must purchase and song first. Then if you click on Store>Create Ringtone iTunes will let you know if it is "available" as a ringtone. Some songs are not. If it is then you must purchase it as a ringtone.

How was your Ringtone created or where was it purchased from?
