Devices button missing in Windows iTunes 11.1.3
There is no Devices button in iTunes in the upper right. When i plug in my iPhone, nothing happens except iTunes-wise (I get a prompt on the iPhone asking if I want to trust the computer and I click Trust and nothing happens; Windows asks me to define what should happen with the iPhone is connected and I let the prompt go away). I have done all the obvious things:
uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
restarted the Apple Mobile Devices service and confirmed it is set up as an Automatic service
restarted Windows
unplugged the iPhone and plugged it back in
made sure my computer is authorized
In iTunes, File > Devices has no options that aren't grayed out.
Windows Explorer does show the iPhone. This seems like an iTunes issue.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I figured this out. The Apple Mobile Devices USB Driver was missing, though it was on the computer. Following the instructions to use devmgmt.msc to update the driver from the local file worked.

Device name missing for windows computer
Hi,
I am following the article http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2013/11/08/scom-2012-override-free-space-monitoring-for-page-file-drive/ and at the stage of creating dynamic members for a group, in Windows Computer, I do not see a "device name"
field for Windows Computer?
I am on SCOM 2012 R2 UR3. When doing this from the console, it's not the console on the management server (if this matters).
ThansHi,
How about doing this from your management server?
Have you import Windows operating system management packs to your management group? If not, please first download the management pack from the below link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9296
And import it to your management group.

Apple Device Drivers Missing on Windows - I've Tried Everything
To sum it all up:
My laptop will not recognize my ipod/itouch through usb cables therefore I cannot connect with Itunes or charge my devices through usb.
My ipod/itouch does not show up under devices, not even under "hidden device" options.
Apple Mobile Device Drivers is no where to be found on my laptop. It's not under device manager, it's not under USB drivers or any other option listed in device manager.
I've tried re-installing Itunes and all Apple programs over 5 times now.
I do not think it is my laptops usb ports as they work for other devices that use a usb connection such as my printer.
I've tried connecting other Apple devices through usb and they do not work on my laptop.
This is driving me INSANE. If anyone has any solutions that would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!Hi
so windows requires the apple mobile drivers in order for your device to be recognised by the computer and iTunes
if you have remove iTunes from your pc but not followed Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support, if you remove iTunes in the incorrect order , then when you go to reinstall iTunes will not install in the correct order,
if you follow the above link exactly as stated and once removed, go to reinstall iTunes with your iOS device connected to pc , this will insure that the correct drivers are installed, once iTunes has downloaded and launched , disconnect phone , unlock screen, reconnect and allow access -
Sync device is missing from updated iTunes
Since updating, I can not find a sync device on my iTunes menu. How do I sync my phone and iPad now?

i just want my music on my ipod so i can listen to it and go to the gym. i should of bought a discman after all. does anyone know how to sync TO my ipod the songs i want...?
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
Were all the videos purchased from the same source? There are many variation of mp4 format and the iPod is not compatible with all of them. -
I'm having difficulty downloading apps to Iphone using my PC. I keep reading that there is a "device" button located in the Itunes page... but I don't see it.
What do you mean?
You buy an app from itunes on your computer?
If so, then sync it to your iphone.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select the apps you want under the apps tab and sync.

AppleScript error with iTunes: Can't get window 'iTunes' of class pcap ...
Hi there. I'm working on a script that posts iTunes track names to Campfire based on the AirPlay device in use. I've been getting a "Can't get window 'iTunes' of <<class pcap>> 'iTunes' of application 'System Events'" and was hoping someone might see an obvious answer. The error pops up randomly. Some machines receive the error much more often than others. Here's the code:

I'm positive there's a better way to check if AirTunes is the active device (maybe by seeing if the current playlist is a device playlist, and checking the source name?), but I don't have any way to test that. -
HT204074 'manage devices' button is missing in iTunes account
When opening my iTunes account I can only see that there are two devices active via my account. However, a 'Manage Devices' button is missing. How can I delete and/or add new devices in my account?
Many thanks in advance, MorileneIt is not missing but is on the far right hand side. So you may have to widen your window to see it.

hi I have window 8. My iTunes will not see my iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. Firewall and setting all look fine. The little box that is on the lower right that allows you to pick a device is missing, thanks
Windows 8 has not been officially released nor is it supported by iTunes.

Every time I plug in my iPhone to my computer it opens up to my PC instead of iTunes. When I try to connect my phone to iTunes the device button doesn't appear. What do I do?
It is opening up your computer generally because there are photos in the camera roll to prompt you to import them to the computer as you would a digital camera.
To correct the issue with the iPhone not being recognized in iTunes, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -

I did the latest iTunes update...I have 2 iPhones--each thru a different provider. Now, I can't sync to download any music from iTunes. iTunes doesn't recognize either device now. I went thru diagnostics, didn't work. I tried the suggestions from Apple...it says to click the device button in upper right corner....there isn't one. When I connected each for the first time after update, it "installed device drivers". I have checked for further updates on iTunes--nothing. I made sure there were no updates listed for iPhones...all up to date. I get an error code and from what I have looked through in forums etc, it seems like a lot of people are getting it...0ex000084 I believe it was. Windows opens to download photos but that's it. Devices are not listed at all. I have tried all 3 USB ports in computer too. I have never had any problems before this update!! HELP! I just bought $15 worth of music I can't download to phones now!
On the left hand side of iTunes do you have the sidebar up left hand side?
If this is not up then try this, with iTunes open press "Control" and "s" together and it should bring it up. From the sidebar it should show an option devices with the iPhones underneath it. -
I'm trying a new Linux build on a net book that I use for playing with non windows OS. In the process of setting up the fresh OS install I wanted in get my Firefox account set up to that I didn't have to spend lots of time working on that one thing. I'm no stranger to the browser sync and have attached several of my computers and tablets with a number of different OS to the account with little trouble including the Firefox of the previous Linux build that was on the net book. The problem now is that on both of my to main computers, a windows 7 desktop and a windows 8.1 tablet, both running the latest Firefox, I am unable to find the "add device" button in any of the sync management screens. This includes the browsers built in options screen as well as the Firefox manage account page. The first gives me options for disconnecting the account, going to the manage screen, several check boxes for what can be synced, and the device name. The manage screen, after logging in, only give me options for signing out, changing password, and deleting the account. Any help figuring out why the add device button seem to be missing from both these devices would be greatly appreciated.
Please check your Firefox Installation's version. (can be found by clicking the main menu, either clicking or hovering over the help button, and then clicking about firefox in the sub menu). depending on how long ago you set up sync you may still be using the older sync version. firefox 29 introduced a new (and might i add far less tedious) sync version. see [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync|this Mozilla support article]] for information on upgrading your sync to the new version.

HT1386 Itune 11 on Windows 7 x64 and iPad 2. The device do not appear in Itunes.
Itune 11 on Windows 7 x64 and iPad 2.
On 3 different PC and 3 different iPad 2 when I installed iTunes 11.1 Windows Autoplay recognise the iPad but iTunes do not.
The device does not appear in iTunes and thus neither synchronisation nor backup are possible.
Reverting to the previous version of iTunes solved the issue.
However with IOS 7 iTunes 11.1 is required and I am back with the same issue. Could you please help?
Thanks and best regardsIf you try syncing with iTunes again, perhaps the phantom album will be erased since it does not exist on the computer.
Have you tried restarting or maybe resetting the iPad to see if the album will disappear?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
