Hi Wendy, Are you using a PC or Mac with iTunes? I had some problems on the Mac side using 12.1. I would interact with the scroll area, select the playlist tones and stop interacting with it. The problem came in when I went to the top, found the LTE section and wanted to sync all the ringtones at once. When I went back to the phone I found that I was always missing one of them. I never could figure out why. For some reason, it is what it is and maybe when I finally decide to upgrade to iTunes 12.2.1, it will be fixed.
