Just upgraded to a 5S and now my purchased ringtones are nowhere to be found. They show up on itunes on my computer and I try to sync them but they do not show up under sound settings on the 5S. Any ideas? I'm sure it is a simple fix but it's annoying.

Same thing happened to me as well. If i restore the iphone 4s they show up, but not on the iphone 5s after a restore. I can go back to the itunes store and rebuy them, but can not find them in my purchased section. Highly annoying.

Ok, so I figured it out. I "unsynced" all of them(even though they weren't there) then re-synced the tones and they're all back now. Let me know if that works for you. Mine were showing up in itunes just fine but somewhere along the way it got confused, I guess.

Mine show up in iTunes works for iphone 4s restore, but not for 5s.
