How do I restore this ringtone?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1
Hi Muribe6801,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below will explain where to find the ringtone you purchased on your iPhone and how to assign it to a Contact:
iTunes: Using the iTunes Store for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Tones
You can't purchase ringtones and alert tones from your computer, but you can purchase them using your iOS device with iOS 5 or later. You can purchase tones on iPad, iPhone (3GS or later), and iPod touch (4th generation or later).
To locate tones in iTunes on an iOS device:
- Tap the iTunes Store app.
- Tap Tones. If Tones isn't visible, tap More > Tones.
- Browse for tones. Once you purchase a tone, a dialog appears.
- Choose to set your new tone as your default ringtone or assign it to a contact. If you don't want to do anything with the tone, tap Done.
- Tones you purchase using your iOS device sync to your iTunes library when you connect your device to your computer. You can find tones on your device in Settings > Sounds. In the Sounds and Vibration Patterns section, tap on Ringtone. Then scroll to the top of the list to see your custom ringtones.
If you don't assign a ringtone at the time you purchase it, you can always add it to a contact later:
Set a special ringtone for a contact - Phone - iPhone Basics - Apple Support

In Contacts, choose a contact, tap Edit, then tap Ringtone. Select the ringtone you'd like to hear when that person calls.

Audiobooks, ringtones, and tones
If you made a backup of these items on your Mac or PC, you can sync the items to your iOS device. You can't download these items again from iTunes in the Cloud.
Cheers,

Ok I downloaded a ringtone from iTunes and it just disappeared. I did sync with iTunes and nothing. I went on iTunes and tried to redone load the ringtone again and it told me that I already purchased it did I want to purchase it again? Makes no sense!
