Hello Sieghard, For me the issue arises after I place the ring tone on the phone and exit iTunes. When I connect my phone to the computer on a subsequent session and open iTunes the ring tones that have been copied to the phone are not shown any longer even though these are present on the phone. They are only shown at the initial time they are copied.
