I haven't even contacted Apple yet. Bought the ring tone one more time and all was well till I had to reboot my phone. Then...bye bye ring tone...again! As for backing up my ring tones...I have a problem with that as I take the lazy way out and download them directly to my phone. Hoping I could back my phone up to the computer and then redownload the tones, I attempted to do so but was given the message that my phone had synced with another iTunes account on Ann's PC. Huh?!? Whaaaat?!? As far as I know, there is no other iTunes account on my computer as I only have one iTunes account. The only thing I can think of is that when I got my iPhone 5S a little over a year ago, the guy at the AT&T store copied my contacts from the 4S. So when I eventually get my 6 Plus, not sure what to do since it sounds like I have two iTunes accounts...somewhere! It told me I could erase everything on my phone and sync it from my library but it's not the stuff I currently have on my phone. Guess I could delete the library on my computer and rebuild it with the stuff on my current phone. Ugh! LOL!

I did exactly the same sequence as you with the same result! Currently waiting to get my money back from Apple or at least an explanation since the ringtone I bought months ago is still there but the Christmas one is not. Hmmm! Sounds like an iTunes kerfuffle? reggie and Allegra On Nov 30, 2014, at 11:28 PM, SoonerAnnie <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all, Something strange has been happening to my sister and me the last couple of days and I am at a loss as to how to proceed. A couple or so weeks ago I purchased a ring tone from the iTunes store and downloaded it with absolutely no problems as usual. Yesterday my sister and I both wanted some Christmas ring tones, so we proceeded to purchase and download them. We set them to be our default ringtones (we each only downloaded one) and everything was okay for a couple hours or so. Then suddenly hers...and then mine...began using the default ring tone, and the tones we bought were nowhere in sight! I have family sharing, so was the one who purchased hers, but that shouldn't have caused a problem, I wouldn't think. All the other ring tones I have purchased are with my other ring tones, but not the one I purchased yesterday evening. So, I went back to the iTunes store and purchased them again, even though the message came up that I had already purchased it and would I like to buy it again. I said yes because I was unable to find them anywhere...and the same thing happened...at least to me. As of tonight, my sister's second attempt at downloading hers is still holding, though it seems pretty precarious. When she checks in settings, sounds, ring tones, it shows that her default ring tone is the default IOS ring tone. But when she clicks on that, VoiceOver says that the Christmas ring tone is selected...and it still does play when her phone rings. But we are afraid that if we change her ring tone, it will disappear once more. When I go into my purchases in the iTunes store, it shows everything except tones! Why are they so elusive...and how can I keep tones from running away from me? Inquiring minds want to know! If anyone has any experiences, thoughts, suggestions, etc., etc., etc., I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to read.
