How to transfer custom ringtone with iTunes 12.7?
Apple support article says to transfer it manually "if you have ringtone in your iTunes". However in iTunes 12.7 there are no ringtones anymore and I can't find a way to transfer custom ringtone my to iPhone.
The iTunes software no longer manages tones for you, but it still lets you inspect which tones are in your phone (see screenshot above).
I got my custom ringtones back by doing the following:
1) Using finder, locate the files in the folder "Tones" under where my iTunes media library is stored
2) From within iTunes, with my iPhone connected, select "Tones" under "On My Device" (screenshot above)
3) Drag the files from (1) onto the blank area in (2) to copy them onto the phone:
4) Click "sync".
5) From my iPhone, choose Settings -> Sounds -> Ringtone: confirm that the missing custom ringtones have been restored and that my default ringtone has been automatically set back to the (now no longer missing) custom ringtone it used to have.
Note: My phone is using iOS 10.3.3; I haven't installed iOS 11 yet. But I had the same problem with "where did my custom ringtones go?" the moment I upgraded iTunes to 12.7.
Somebody's bright idea to "streamline" iTunes. 😕😮

Remove from the device, add it back, reselect it.

Try dropping on the device rather than the tones folder in the sidebar.

Simple instructions & worked a treat, Thanks.
Where is the "summary?"
I've tried everything here, and but tones will not show on my iphone.
Latest version of iOS and iTunes?
Oh no, never if I can help it! Ringtones were deleted when I erroneously updated the ios to 11.2.2
Hey thanks, just solved it. Looks like my tones files were corrupted somehow. Remade them on Audiko and now all is fine. Punk on!
thank you. i put the setting back to "Manually manage music and videos", synched, and it didn't help. I may try the iFun Box another time, but for now it's not worth it to me.
No worries. The advice is there should you want it later. 🙂
