Just upgraded my 3gs to iOS5. It took two hours and when complete it
had only synced 16 ringtones. I have 48.

I restarted everything and manually selected 48 ringtones to sync.
Still just 16 show up on phone.

Synced again this time choosing all ringtones. Still just 16 show on
phone.

All contacts ,apps and music transferred just fine. Any suggestions
on the ringtones?

I had the same problem. All I had to do was add a new ringtone to
iTunes. The next time I synced, all of them were transferred.

Just tried un checking some and checking others staying with a total
of 16 ringtones that I liked best. When done I only had about 11
ringtones on the phone???? So I re-checked all the ringtones and had
about 38 of 48 after syncing.

Then I unchecked everything to see if all the ringtones would
disappear from the phone. They did. So I selected all the ringtones
and I finally got all 48 of them.

What appears to have happened was this. There must be a some sort of
index file on the iPhone that keeps track of what ringtones are on the
phone. After upgrading to iOS5 some ringtones were lost for some
unknown reason but the index file remained intact showing all
ringtones present. So when I went to sync the index file instructed
iTunes to not transfer any ringtones because they were not needed. I
needed to reset the index file to zero by removing all the ringtones.
Then transfer all after the file was zeroed.

Actually, now that you mention it, I remember now that I turned off
ringtone syncing and turned it back on as well.

Pare them down ? Why ? Why? Why?
