Red face Downloading Ringtones to iPhone

I am trying to download a ringtone to my iPhone. I am using the newest available software in iTunes and following the help diresctions but I cannot access "Create Ringtone" in the iTunes store after buying the ringtone-compatible song. Does anyone have a suggestion to help me get this task done? I am very frustrated with the whole exercise. thanks.

I'll walk you through it.

1) Make sure you have the song you want in your Music Library, and of course, that it's ringtone compatible.

2) (You can skip this step if you already have bells next to your ringtones compatible songs.)Right click the bar in your Library that has things in it like Name, Artist, and Time. A list will pop up, and the word Ringtone will be in it. Click it, and a tab will be added telling your if songs are compatible or not by showing a bell next to them if they are.

3) Click the bell next to the song you want.

4) The ringtone maker will pop up. You will then select how long you want it to be and where it will play.

5) Click buy. The button is on the right of the ringtone maker.

6) The ringtones will appear in your ringtones library. Sync your iPhone.

Thank you so much, I am almost there but I cannot find the but button on the right of the ringtone maker. I feel like an idiot- you have been so much help already - there is no button saying buy on my screen.

I've tried to sync a compatible ringtone but I get a warning saying that all other music will be deleted so I just cancel. I have a 1st generation, unlocked phone. What am I missing?
