I've looked up how to make the tones tab appear and everybody gives the same answer: you go under preferences, general tab, select ringtones/tones. But I don't even have that option; there is no ringtones/tones box to check. I haven't found any link that says another way to fix this..
iPhone 4S
That information was written almost five years ago and iTunes has been updated several times since then.
Try this instead:
Click on the drop-down menu as shown in the screenshot below:
...and then select the Edit Menu option:
.. and tick the Tones box to add it to the menu;
and click on Done at the bottom.
Then simply select Tones from the drop-down.

and what if I have it this way ???
Hi,
On the new ITunes I do not have the option to Edit the menu so I cannot add Tones.
Any advise?
See the Manually add items from your computer section of Manually manage content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iTunes - Apple Support. This can be used to copy apps, ePubs, iBooks, pdfs, tones, and possibly more, from your computer to your device. You can also use Dropbox, iCloud Drive, etc. And for compatible content on the web open it there from Safari in the appropriate app instead of downloading to your computer to transfer to the device.

You're welcome. 🙂
iTunes 12.7 had changed the rules somewhat. There is no longer a tones section to the library and the method to add to a device is different. See Create and manage ringtones in iTunes for details.

OK, thanks a lot!
however I still didn't understand how to convert the song to a tone. I created a copy for 27 seconds long only that I'd like to use for a tone (or now it's already possible to use the whole song?) but how to convert it to a ringtone?..
of course even faced same after latest iTunes update w.r.t iOS 11 update. But solution is so simplified. Just click on tones option under ur device... and now drag ur <ringtone>.m4r there... and sync now... 🙂
First, plug in your device.Click on your device in the left side menu. You should then see Tones listed. Locate your custom tones on your computer, then drag and drop them into your device menu.
It can be worth reading more of the thread before posting:

The Tones tab across top will appear when you select the iDevice in iTunes.
In order to see Tones on the left side of iTunes, iTunes prefs > General.
You should see this...
