I figured it out. Let me see if i can explain my problem and the solution.
(1) We used to be able to sync ringtones between itunes and iphone with iPhone
connected.
(2) That can no longer be done; there was an announcement about this but I
don't remember exactly when. The ringtones no longer show up in your actual
iTunes library and at least in my experience don't play if you open them in
iTunes.
3. My problem was that the article whose url I will paste below said to drag
the tones from the itunes sidebar to the iphone when the iphone is connected.
Some on this list said to copy and paste from the folder where the tones are
but I didn't understand where to paste them.
4. Solution: select your ringtone files from wherever they are on your
computer. Copy them. Then in iTunes with your iphone connected, go specifically
to your iphone device and go to tones in the table. Do not try to paste in the
scroll area but where tones shows in the list. I am sure that was what was
meant by those who tried to help but I was confused about this. I now have my
ringtones.
Thanks to those who tried to tell me what to do about this.

It’s a copy and paste process, not anything to do with syncing.

Yes, I used to do this all the time but it is my understanding this is no
longer possible. A ringtone category shows up under your phone device when
you connect to itunes with your phone but there is no checkbox for syncing.
It is my understanding that support for transfering ringtones to your phone
via itunes has been dropped.

Yes, they just have to be in M4R format, but manually copying them into the
Ringtones table of iTunes through the Finder or the Automatically add to
iTunes folder. I've done this with several I've collected over the years.

automatically put them into the ringtone folder for your phone.

I want to add my ringtones to my new iphone. Since I took a year of
vacation from the iphone I was disappointed to find that I can no longer
transfer ringtones by checking a box in ringtones with the phone attached
to my computer and thus add them to my ringtones on the phone from the
itunes library. I still do have the tones in that folder in iTunes Media
but iTunes no longer separates them. In looking on the web I found some
possible methods including some kind of app to download but I tend to be
very cautious about downloading something from the Internet if I don't know
its background and developer. Is there a voiceover-accessible and safe way
still to do this. I do not need to make the ringtones but only to transfer
them.
Thanks for any help with this.
