I had the same issue and tried the following. Plug your iPhone into your computer and bring up iTunes. Go the ringtone section, unclick the box "sync ringtones". Once the box has been unclicked, click sync. Once the phone has synced, click the box "sync ringtones" and then sync your phone again. Once your phone has been synced again, the ringtones should be there. Hope this helps.

My wife updated her iPhone4 to OS5 yesterday and she just said the same thing. She is re-syncing as I type trying to get them back.  Didn't work, still no ringtones.

Are you manually managing your iPhone in iTunes or is it set to sync automatically? I haven't had any trouble with my ringtones disappearing after updating and actually just finished syncing 2 new ringtones I created to my iPhone 4. I have always had my iTunes set to let me manually manage my devices so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. You can try switching to manually managing to see if it helps at all (if you aren't already). When you drag the ringtones to your iPhone in iTunes will it work that way?

This did'nt work for me at first. I had to add a step of accessing my ringtone through settings/sounds. Once I set the default to one of my purchased ringtones the others appeared in my contacts so that I could customize individuals.
