Why would apple not automatically show the side bar in iTunes. Wasted 20 min trying to find out why my ipod was not showing up. Really really bad idea, Apple.

Why does the side bar not automatically show up when you first download apple iTunes? Really really bad design. It took 20 min to fine the setting that enable the side bar. ***? I could not access my iPod for 20 freakin min! Just show the **** side bar always! Maybe apple is too big and is starting to lose common sense.

Because Apple update iTunes to do it that way. Apple has not said why.

IPad no longer shows as a device in the left column of iTunes

This makes it really tough to sync...I am unable to use wifi synching. I just want to be able to sync like I used to with the USB cable plugged directly into the iMac.
Here's what I've done to attempt to fix it:
--restarted iPad
--restarted iMac
--confirmed latest version of iTunes
--unplugged and replugged in USB cables (after testing cables); note, it's plugged directly into the iMac
It still doesn't show in devices. Interestingly enough, neither does my iPod Touch (a different USB cable, also plugged into the iMac).
Has something changed in the way things are done in iOS 5 and I have to change a setting to make the devices visible in iTunes?

Nothing has changed that would affect the way the iPad is recognized in iTunes. Here is the link to Apple's support article on this issue.

You probably have done all of these steps except for....
Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier only: Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
Here is another troubleshooting article that might help.

Since upgrading to the newest ios 6.1.26 itunes isn't showing my app list on the left side of the screen, nor does it show all of self made movies, only the purchased ones. Anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

Since upgrading to the newest ios 6.1.2 itunes isn't showing my app list on the left side of the screen, nor does it show all of my self made movies, only the purchased ones. Anyone else experiencing a similar problem? The iTunes store and most of the other features show up but other normal features seem to be missing too. I wish I hadn't upgraded. Anyone else having this problem????

If you are talking about iTunes on your computer use the iTunes View menu item, "Show Sidebar".
If not, I have no idea what you are describing.

I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this.

I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this. I only have the one Apple ID and the phone is brand new, purchased directly from Apple.
When I check on the phone itself (iCloud and App Store settings) the Apple ID is correct. I'm not sure where else to check.
Whilst setting up the phone, it prompted me to register, which I did. Then when connecting to my laptop through iTunes it prompted me again so I registered again. I even got a confirmation email to the email address associated with my Apple ID that the registration was successful.
How can I add my iPhone 5s to the list of devices on the correct Apple ID?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

What type of movies and tv shows can I watch on the iPad?

What type of movies and tv shows can be watched on the iPad without having to spend money purchasing from iTunes. I'm guessing Netflix streaming is available, but what other types. Does Tivo tranfer work, any others? Thanks

Adobe story online isn't loading. I just get the loading bar going on for hours. I've restarted my browser, deleted my cookies, installed the newer version of Flash and still no loading.

Nope still nothing going incognito, or doing it through different browsers. I guess the other thing is a an online picture editing program told me I needed to update my flash, so I tried to install it several time but am not sure if it actually did. Now some video players (that had previously worked) command me that I need a newer version of Flash. What happened?

Whether you can re-download them for free depends upon what country that you are in - tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries. If they show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes app on your other devices, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes then you can re-download them. Otherwise you can copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them to your other devices.

Should it? I have an HP p6653w w/ a c7280 all-in-one printer.
My computer is showing as a device with 'trouble' and it says it has NO driver for it.
What would happened if I removed that device? Would I again lose the ability to print ??

Do you have Windows 7? If so it is normal for the computer to show up in the "Devices" list. I would suggest you do not delete it.
