Itunes sync distorts album art and does not recognize purchased tones?

Question

I've avoided syncing my phone b/c every time I do it's jacked up everything. And this time was no exception. After syncing yesterday I now have the wrong album art displaying with the wrong artist as well as after re-purchasing 2 tones I'd already paid for FROM ITUNES not showing up as a selection to assign to a contact!  They show up in my Library as well as on the iphone content when plugged in but not as a selection to pick when trying to add to a contact. Also, I have a total of 23 tones showing in my Library with sync all tones checked but only 7 or 8 show up on my phone... I'll be happy if I can just get the 2 I want!!  Any suggestions on correcting the art work and syncing the tones I've paid for would be welcome.

If you use automatic syncing, you must set up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes so that the selection of songs includes all the songs you want on the iPod.
Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.  That is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
To use automatic syncing for songs, Sync Music is checkmarked.  You can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
If you chose the latter, you create a selection of songs on the Music tab by selecting playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres.  For example, if you want that new playlist, it must be checkmarked under Playlists.  If you want to keep it simple, you can create a new playlist in iTunes and put ALL song you want on the iPod on that playlist (including that new purchased song).  Back on the Music tab, checkmark that one playlist.
When you Apply the change, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the iPod.  If the iPod was not previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.  Going forward, any changes to the iTunes Music library that relate to the selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically when the iPod is connected, or when you click Sync.  So, if you are syncing a playlist as your selection of songs, just update that playlist (add and remove songs), and the iPod gets updated with those changes at the next opportunity.
