Not sure if this will solve any of your problems, but here's how I got my Ringtones to sync to my:
iPhone 4S,
MacBook Pro,
iTunes 10.5:
Your music files have a specific format that allows iTunes to read them (usually .MP3)
Your Ringtones also have to have a specific format in order for iTunes to know what to do with them (.M4R)
Some of your ringtones might be in .MP3 format (or you might have clipped out a certain part of a song you like from an .MP3 file). In order for iTunes to recognize your Ringtone as a Ringtone file, it HAS to be in .M4R format. I don't know if you can just change the file type manually (i.e.: type in .M4R where .MP3 is). If so, then you can use a batch renamer program like "A Better Finder Rename" for Mac, or some other utility)).
If just manually retyping the format doesn't work, then I would use a program such as WonderShare's "Video Converter Pro" which will let you convert Audio and Video files to other formats.
As soon as I started the Video Converter Pro batch conversion from .MP3 to .M4R, Video Converter Pro started importing the new .M4R files into iTunes (10.5) and magically the "Ringtones" tab appeared on the left side of the iTunes window, as well as along the top with the other iTunes tabs such as Summary, Info, etc.
After that, just go to the Ringtones tab at the top and click whichever Sync button you like ("All" or "Selected Ringtones").
Hope this helps,
J.

Itunes artwork tab missing for movies in version 11.1.3.8

For some reason recently I am noticing the artwork tab missing when I import in a movie into my itunes directory. This just started happening and the movie formats are exactly the same as ones which have the artwork tab available. These are all MPEG-4 Video Files at 124 kbps. Typical iTunes 'anomoly' but on this one I am baffled. Anyone have a clue as to how to fix this? I even tried completely removing the movie from the itunes file directory and then reimporting into iTunes but same issue.

No need to scream at me.
You can access the apps by clicking the iPad thingy on top right of the screen (when the iPad is connected) and then select Apps and scroll down to file sharing apps...
Or....
As I said....
EXACT SAME WAY AS BEFORE

Trying to create ringtones from music. Why does my itune page not show a ringtone tab?

Downloaded free app "ringtonemaker". instructions say to save it then select ringtone tab. My screen shows summary, info,apps, etc. but no ringtones tab.

It's now called Tones. Go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.

No "Ringtones" tab and can't drag & drop ringtones into iTunes

I have an iPhone4 running OS4.3, using iTunes 10.2 on a Windows Vista PC. I used an iPhone app to create custom ringtones, and have followed the app's instructions to save the ringtones to my PC and then copy into iTunes. Two problems:
1) The instructions say to drag & drop the .m4r files into iTunes. I've seen this mentioned in other posts on this topic. When I try to do this, the files won't "drop". I see the "no" symbol (circle with line) when I hover over my music library.
2) The instructions say to click on my iPhone in iTunes, and then on the "Ringtones" tab along the top of the screen. I don't have a Ringtones tab. There's also no reference to Ringtones in the left navigation pane.
How do I correct this?
Thanks

!!! JUST DOWNGRADE YOUR ITUNES VERSION, AND USE THE OLDER ONE - THAT'S ALL. SORRY FOR ALL-CAPITAL LETTERS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS, - IT IS JUST OUT OF EXCITEMENT, AFTER HOURS OF SEARCHING AND THINKING ABOUT A SOLUTION !!!
Shalom all,
Our frustration and pain is over, for sure… With some help and hints from this forum I’ve found a precise solution to the above mentioned can’t-get-the-goddamned-ringtones-tab-to-appear-in-my-iTunes problem.
Now let me try and get up to the point:
The 10.5.2 version of iTune is worthless (at least, it’s 64-bit modification, which I’ve been using up to this point). By reading a few comments on your forum, I’ve quickly decided to try and downgrade to 10.4.1.10 version (seems to me, 64-bit), which can be downloaded from apple.com site with just a little extra-search.
By the way, I do have Windows 7 64-bit OS on my PC, and “Apple” warns that one MUST use 64-bit installation in my case…
One must uninstall previously installed 10.5.2 (if there used to be one, of course). In such a case, please, also uninstall a “Bonjour” program by “Apple” (don’t know what’s that, but you will not be able proceed any further with, as it was said in my case, higher version of “Bonjour” left behind).
After uninstalling those two abovementioned things, I have installed iTunes 10.4.1.10 , even without being asked for reboot by the end of the installation. But, alas, when I tried running iTunes, it failed with the complain about a “iTunes Library.itl” file (found in C:\Users\<My_User>\Music\iTunes). I’ve just renamed the file (could’ve been removed as well, of course) and restarted the iTunes. This time everything went smooth.
The rest of the story, I assume, you can imagine much better than me. Go to Edit->Preferences and tick “Ringtones”. After connecting the iPhone (well, probably one more iTunes restart will be required in this case, - not sure about that), we will get the “Ringtones” tab set also under the iPhone definition (see “DEVICES” in iTunes).
Next, create an .m4a file out of your favorite ringtone, move it to the Desktop, change the extension to a4r, add it back (drug-and-drop) to “Ringtones” tab at the iTunes LIBRARY. Then make some blessing, take a deep breath and… that’s pretty much done. One important thing not to forget before sync: click on your phone (under iTune’s DEVICES), and click on “Ringtones”, located right under the gorgeous :-) apple picture in the top middle of the iTunes window. Mark “Sync Ringtones” and “All Ringtones” (?) there, of course…
BTW, no need whatsoever to register your phone, - you can just postpone the registration...
Phew… Let’s hope I haven’t forget anything. Anyhow, the idea was to get rid of iTunes 10.5.2 as soon as possible, uninstall it together with “Bonjour” (say good bye to “Bonjour”  ), then install a good old iTunes 10.4.1.10, get over few problems and… The rest of the procedure - you know it by heart, by far better than me…
I’ve been struggling with the problem for less than a day (thanks to all of you, pals), but I can imagine there are still some poor pal chaps around…
Let us help them… Very unfortunately, English is not my mother tongue, as you can see… I wish, it would be different, but G-d decided other way… Please, (1) make some corrections and clarifications to this notes (I could've made it better, but in a crunch now, really), and also, (2) try spreading it among as many guys as possible… If you can pass this solution to “Apple” tech support, - it should be taken to consideration...
And I'll be waiting now for a generous job offer from that great company... :-)
Let me just wish you all a very Happy New Year...
Thank you all, dear friends, and do enjoy the best of your own FREE ringtones……
P.S.: iTunes 10.4.1 (64-bit) can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427 , at the bottom of the page...

I'm having trouble with custom ringtones. I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones. I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes. My Itunes does not have a ringtone tab. I can not sync the ringtones.

I'm having trouble with custom ringtones. I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones. I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes. My Itunes library does not have a ringtones tab. I can not sync the ringtones (or I don't know how)! Please help.

Yes, the file extension is M4R. Does it matter where I save these files on my Macbook? I then opened them in Itunes and played them. I did find the Tones folder in Itunes but the Tones or Ringtones tab does not show up when I select Iphone (within Itunes). When I open the Tones folder in the Library, it is empty. Thanks in advance for your help.

Go into Edit > Preferences and make sure that Ringtones is ticked on the General tab

Where do you find the ringtone tab on your personal itunes so that you can sync new ringtones to your iphone?

I have no Ringtones Tab or Checkbox

So I have been researching how to make and import Ringtones. Well, I have successfully done it but my ringtones are not synching to my phone. I have gone into Preferences>to allow the Ringtones tab to appear in the panel, however I do not have one. I have a Tones box to check, but that doesn't seem to repair the issue. Why don't I have a Ringtones box, that will create a Ringtones tab?
I have an iPhone 4, iTunes 10 and am using a Mac to sync. Thanks!

Here is my setup. Windows 7 64bit (PC), Iphone 4S (64gb), Sprint Service. I own all the Copytrans programs.
Hello...The Apple store was no help on this and I haven't been impressed with them the last few times I went there for help. Nice to know I spent a lot of money on Apple Care. I did get a wonderful person that helped me on Apple Care the first time I called but again the last few times were not helpful. The tech support people all need to be on the same page on how to do the different things with your apple product.
I spent hours trying to figure out how to get the stupid Ringtones folder to show up in itunes. I uninstalled itunes then reinstalled it but no luck. All I get is a Tones Tab. I did as you mentioned and I bought one ringtone. Itunes still did not make the folder for me but my Copytrans Manager did. http://www.copytrans.net/ Inside the folder was my one ringtone I bought. I then dragged all my ringtones I downloaded from Zedge over to the ringtones folder and synced it up with CopyTrans Manager which put all the new ringtones on my phone.
After trying CopyTrans Manager and not having any luck with my iphone playing my ringtones on the phone I then dragged the files to the Library on Itunes which put the files in the Tones folder. I tried to sync them with itunes but it would not work so I used Copytrans Manager to do this which put the ringtones on my iphone. The only problem now is it doesn't matter what ringtone is set up for a contact it always plays the default Marimba ringtone and none of the other ones.
I think my itunes stopped working again as it will not sync anything I do now. I back up everything to the icloud. I like having a copy on the computer and on icloud.
When I select my device name at the top it shows:
Summary / Info / Apps / Tones / Music / Movies / TV Shows / Books / Photos
On the PC I've gone into Itunes under Edit / Preferences and under sources I have these selected:
Moves / TV Shows / Books / Apps/ Tones / Radio / Ping / Genius / Shared Libraries
Down below that Show Source Icons and Show List Checkboxes are checked
Parental Tab: I have nothing disabled
Under the Advanced Tab:
Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to Libary is checked
Now if I go to the Tones Tab under my Device Name and select Sync Tones / All Tones. I get a message that says "Are you sure you want to synce tones? All existing tones on the Iphone (Device Name) will be replaced with tones from your itunes libary." Fine I select this.
When I do that I loose all my music that I used Copytrans manager to sync with. My Libary has no music listed but my Device (Device Name) under the music tab shows all my music. CopyTrans Manager is so much easier to work with than itunes. I tried to drag all my music from my Device music tab to my libary on itunes but that didn't work.
So I press the sync button on the buttom of itunes and it says:
The iphone (Device Name) is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this iphone and sync this with itunes library? An iphone can be synced with only one itunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contens of this iphone with the contents of this itunes libary.
Options: Erase and Sync / Cancel I chose cancel
I dont have a problem with erasing all my music and starting over. I have all my store bought CD's that I can put back on itunes. I just dont want everything else erased like my apps and photos. For my photos I use CopyTrans Photo. I understand my Pictures and music are not on itunes and this is why my libary on itunes and my iphone are different. what a pain just trying to get a ringtones tab and getting everything synced up.
Any help would be great.
