HT1386 I turn on itunes, plug in my ipad - but what appears is my list of songs, not the screen witht he 'devices' option that is shown in the instructions.  What do I do to get that screen?

I am having a problem getting music from my computer to my ipad, though it works the other way.
I can't get the set up screen.  I turn on itunes, plug in the ipad, and my music list comes up --- not the screen with 'devices' that the instructions say will come up.  How can I get to that screen?

With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. When the iPad is plugged in it should then appear on that left-hand sidebar under 'Devices' so that you can select it, and then use the tabs on the right-hand side of the screen to select what to sync to it.
