Location of "the source list" in iTunes

where is "the source list" in itunes so that I can manually manage my classic ipod

Devices doesn't show permanently in the source list. It is only visible when an external source such as your iPod or a CD is connected to your computer and has been recognised by iTunes: iPod 101: iTunes Initiation

Just to go over changing to manual again, you connect your iPod to the computer. When it appears in the source list it appears under the heading of Devices. When you click on it's icon the preference tabs are displayed in the main pane to the right. In the iPod Summary tab is the "Manually manage music and videos" check box. You check the box and click Apply:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • I cannot see the Source List in iTunes. How do I get it back? Thanks!

    I cannot see the Source List in iTunes. How do I get it back? I am trying to eject my ipod classic, and there is no option to do so, because I cannot see the ipod, let alone the source list in itunes. I'm also unable to restore my ipod, and I get a message saying it is corrupt,and now I can't even eject it! What do I do?!? Thanks!

    Hello twangchick,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You can use the steps in this article to view the device list in iTunes and eject your iPod. The steps are slightly different for the different version of iTunes:

    I know it can be frustrating to have a device that isn't working as it should, and this link may also help with restoring your iPod classic:

    If your iPod can't be restored normally, try placing it into Disk Mode. See the instructions under "iPod devices with a Click Wheel" in this article:

  • Where is the "source list" within iTunes?

    I am completely new to iTunes & iPod, and am having serious trouble just trying to figure out the basics.  I believe that either something is wrong with  my USB port or something may be wrong with the iPod Nano, but cannot say for sure. Ultimately, I need to know what/where is the Source List on iTunes.  I have the most recent version of iTunes downloaded & installed.
    Thanks,
    ImaHousemouse

    Prior to iTunes 12 the sources list used to appear above all other playlists in the sidebar. The sidebar could be turned on or off with Ctrl+S. The source list is now a row of icons. Press the ellipsis button (highlighted) then use the checkboxes to show or hide sources. Press the Playlists button when viewing a source to display the playlists sidebar.

  • Where do I find the source list in iTunes 7

    I know this sounds stupid, but I can't find the Source List! I lost my hard drive, put in a new one and reloaded iTunes, but have not reloaded all my CDs. I want to set iTunes so it will not synch up with my iPod and delete all the songs that are on the iPod, but not on iTunes. But, I see nothing labeled Source List. Where is it? Must my iPod be plugged in for it to show up -and- if it is, will I lose the music on the iPod, but not on iTunes?

  • Photos tab is not selectable in the source list iPod nano

    Dear all,
    Could you please help me out? I want to import photos on my iPod nano (3rd generation). I want to do this by dragging a folder to the iPod in the sources list in iTunes, but I do not succeed.
    The 'photos' tab does not appear when I collapse the 'iPod' in the source list in iTunes. What is wrong?
    Thank you for your answer (in advance.)

    *I want to do this by dragging a folder to the iPod in the sources list in iTunes, but I do not succeed.*
    You can't add photos the same way as you add music, you have to choose the folder in the photos tab.
    The 'photos' tab does not appear when I collapse the 'iPod' in the source list in iTunes. What is wrong?
    The photos tab isn't in the source list, it's one of the preference tabs that appear in the main window when you click on the iPod icon in the source list.
    Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
    1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
    2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
    2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
    3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
    4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
    On a small device like the 2GB Nano I would tend to leave the "Include Full Resolution photos" box unchecked as these will take up a lot of space on the iPod and are only useful if you want to copy photos from one computer to another. iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view.
    iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view. if you want to include full size photos so you can move them from one computer to another check the "Include Full Resolution photos" box. When you want to change the photos on the iPod you simply add or remove the photos you want from your iPod Photos folder and sync the iPod.

  • How to restore iPod when it doesn't appear in the Source List?

    About 6 months ago I stupidly wiped my iPod Nano (5th Gen) and reformatted it as fat32. I assumed that when I formatted it back to Mac OS Journaled it would work normally as an iPod again but it doesn't. When it is plugged into my Mac running 10.5.8, it appears on the desktop/mac harddrive (without its individualised nano icon) and it fails to appear in the source list in iTunes (10.2.2).
    I have tried everything I know how to do, including the steps outlined in this support document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410
    I need to restore the iPod to factory settings, but need a way to do this not through iTunes seeing as the iPod is not recognised. Specifically, in the following support document I cannot complete step 4:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
    One last thing I have tried is duplicating the files (including hidden ones) from a 5th gen nano that does appear in my source list, and placing those files into my apparently invisible nano but this has not made any difference.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I have basically been left with a bricked paperweight (due mostly to my own stupidity!) but would love to be able to use it again.
    Thanks for any help offered

    Hello kismet_kracker,
    What happens if you place the iPod into Disk Mode with it still connected to your Mac?  Does it then show up in Finder as a mounted drive?  Here are instructions for putting your iPod into Disk Mode.

  • My Ipod does not show in source list in itunes

    I have recently downloaded itunes 7.7 (previously using 7.1) - my ipod is no longer showing in the source list in itunes although I get the usual clunk clunk sound when I attach it to the PC.
    I have tried to re-set unattached from the PC and attached to the PC to no avail.
    The only thing that I can think to do is to uninstall the ipod software and itunes and re-install both - but I will have to get some CDs first as I have a lot of tunes in the itune library which will be lost if I delete itunes.
    Can anyone suggest anything else which may help please??
    Thanks.

    I am having a similar problem. I have done the "5 R's" and even had my iPod replaced with a new one by apple (suspecting they couldn't solve the problem). But even now, with a completely new iPod, Windows (Vista) recognizes the iPod (as it did previously), but iTunes does not. The iPod displays that it is connected, but does not appear in the iTunes source list! Then, as soon as I disconnect the iPod (as there's no other way) then suddenly it appears and several error messages come up saying: "Jarad's iPod cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." !!! This is so fustrating!!!! Is there anyone out there who can help?

  • After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I can see it in iTunes in the source list, but after selecting it, there is no summary or anything to configure my sync options. I just see 'iPhone' written. What can I do to fix this?

    I just updated my iPhone and my iPad to iOS 5.
    Restoring the backup just worked fine as well as syncing the music and videos, but my Apps weren't synced at all.
    With my iPhone I got it done, after I installed some of my apps using the cloud and suddenly the all were installed during the next sync with my iTunes. All the stored data of my apps were on the iPhone, so I didn't loose anything.
    But with my iPad, this didn't work as well. I seem to have to install all apps by my self from the cloud.
    But my major problem is, that when I connect my devices to my Mac Book Air, they are shown in the source list, but except for showing 'iPhone' or 'iPad' I see nothing. I can't configure any sync options, so I am not able to do change or do anything.
    When updated to iOS 5 I used to restore the backup from before updating my iPhone/iPad in iTunes.
    Thanks for your help.

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, particularly before any update or restore.
    You should also be syncing your contacts to your computer regularly.  They hsould be in whatever program/service that you have selected to sync.
    If you have failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

  • I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

    I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
    I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
    Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
    Thank you,

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

    My ipod nano 4th generation was set up/registered using my mac computer. Unfortunately it was plugged into a pc and all my files, (song, pics, etc) were erased. When I plugged my ipod into my mac to sync it again, it wouldn't even appear in the source list. I can't even click on it to restore it. It's simply not there.
