Thanks, Allen. As it turns out, something similar happened to me. In my case though, I discovered that although my ringtones were visible, they had somehow been assigned an incorrect file path. Since all of them had been free, I just deleted them and re-downloaded them from the site I use. Definitely two hours of frustration though.

If you have regularly backed up your phone it shouldn't be bad. Go to settings, general, reset. then reset all settings. This will reset all the settings to their default values and will delete all content. Then you can restore your phone from the latest backup. I was having the same problem with ring tones. It was the only way to fix the problem. Make sure you backup your phone before hand though. ----- Original Message ----- From: Suzanne Wilson <mailto:suzannemwil...@comcast.net> To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 17, 2013 4:19 PM Subject: Syncing Ring Tones Help Hello, At one time not so long ago, I had about thirty ring tones on my phone that I had downloaded and synced successfully. Unfortunately, when I went to add some new ones, I lost everything that had already been on the phone. The tones still show up in my list of available tones. I go into the device list, select my iPhone, and then tab through until I get to tones, which I check. Further tabbing takes me to a "sync tones" check box. If I check it, iTunes says "Are you sure you do not want to sync tones? All existing tones on the phone Suzanne's iPhone will be removed." I have the choice of either a remove or a cancel button. Since I have nothing to lose at this point, I have tried checking the remove button and syncing. Needless to say, nothing happens, as everything is already wiped clean. After that, I repeat the same procedure. This time, the phone lets me check the "sync tones" box and I don't get that message. I then keep tabbing to select all tones and make sure that they are checked; then I press the sync button. In this case, iTunes gets stuck on the first step of syncing and I get a message that the sync has failed. A search of the list archives wasn't terribly helpful. Is there any kind soul who could help me figure this out? I would be eternally grateful. Suzanne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
