ITunes 12.4.2.4 TONES folder missing

I updated to ITunes 12.4.2.4 and updated the phone's (6) software. Then, most of the music synchronised across to the phone (in-between crashes). All of my ringtones (3 - made via Itunes) vanished. Can't see them on the phone in sounds and settings etc and can't see them in itunes. Managed to locate one of them that I'd saved as last time adding the file after a phone s/ware up to date was just such an absolute PITA. But, even though I can make it an ACC file, as soon as I rename it to a .4r file (which all the guides tell us to do ), Itunes gives it the exclamation mark and says that it can't find the source file. I can make a copy of the source file...I just end up with lots of instances of the same file which won't transfer over to the "TONES" folder of the phone - there is no corresponding folder in Itunes named "TONES", there used to be in but in this latest itunes upgrade - it simply isn't there in the folder list. Any help please. I'm using ITUNES version 12.4.2.4, Windows 7 and an Iphone 6. The ringtone is a seven second tune in ACC format.

Many thanks in advance.

Having made your AAC file (less than 40 seconds long) make a copy of it, rename the copy and change its extension, then place it inside <Media Folder>\Automatically Add to iTunes.

I should add that the file extension I rename to is .m4r not what it says above (typo).

Thank u. finally works. Every Apple iTunes update is a pain for me. Good phone but i really hate iTunes updates.

You're welcome.

All my tones files have the .m4r extension and are in the Media folder in a folder named Tones.  The Tones folder is not showing up in my iTunes like it used to so I can't get them back on my phone.  Suggestions?

Click the media selection control (Music, Movies, TV Shows etc.) then click Edit Menu and enable Tones.

Thank you.  I see it there, but it was already enabled it just wasn't showing in the viewable list.  I was able to drag them and add to my iPhone.  Thanks again!

You're welcome.

I have been following all the other instructions, trying to get this to work for over an hour and your "dragging" suggestion is finally what worked! Thank you! I am using version 12.5.5.5 and I had to click View > Media Kind > Tones (at this point you can drag Ring Tone files directly onto this screen from your computer. Then I dragged the file from that list directly to my phone by dragging it to the left (a screen slides open with your device listed). It showed up immediately on my phone.

I cant locate the enable tones: My situation is I have my ringtones working fine previously from my old iphone when i did my back up it didn't add it in my tones...I can see the files in itunes it doesn't automatically added to tones folder. Tried changing to m4r and draging it nothing happens! can you help thanks

Have you enabled the Tones section of the library? If not click the media kind selector and then click Edit menu, tick the box against Tones, and then click done.

Any tones already added to the library should show here. Valid ringtone files (AAC format, .m4r extension, <40 seconds ) added to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder should show here as well. When you connect your device select it with this icon and then select the device's Tones tab to set up the sync.
