What is selected under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

You have to understand you are dealing with someone that rarely changes or knows how to do anything with this phone other than call. I dont know where the sync preferences are.

Taking at least a glance through the iPhone user guide might be a good idea. Apple includes a Safari bookmark with the iPhone for access to the iPhone user guide, or you can download it to your computer from Apple's website as a PDF file.

With your iPhone connected to iTunes, select your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list to reveal the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Select the Ringtones tab. You need to select Sync Ringtones with the option to transfer all available ringtones or selected ringtones only followed by selecting Sync.

Ok, so I went to tab. Selected the 7 ringtones I have. Synced again. And they are where on my phone? They are not under sounds where they used to be. 😟
