Hey Robeo81786!

I can definitely appreciate the confusion surrounding how ringtones are managed in more recent versions of iTunes, since there's no longer an individual tab used for management. The short answer is: this is exactly how the update is designed to work. Here's how you can track down .m4r files on your computer using iTunes:

Move ringtones from iTunes to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you have a ringtone or tone in iTunes on your Mac or PC that you want to move to your iOS device, you can manually add it to your device using iTunes.

Connect your device to your computer.

Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.

On your computer, find the ringtone or tone that you want to add to your device. If the ringtone or tone previously appeared in your iTunes library, you can find it in the Tones folder of your iTunes media folder.

Drag the item from your computer to your iOS device in the left sidebar of iTunes.
