I can't find my devices on iTunes. The selections in File "devices" are always shaded. How can I always view my connected devices in iTunes?

I can't find my plugged-in devices anywhere in iTunes, the "File>Devices" selections are always shaded. I would like to show the devices' status whenever I select iTunes on my Mac. Any ideas?

First, the devices would have to be connected ...
Additionally, do all your devices use an Apple ID that has been authorized on your Mac?  If not, go to Store > Authorize This Computer in iTunes' menu and make sure the devices' Apple IDs are authorized.

  • How can I load the selected XML File (Selected from a Listview) into the correct Textboxes?

    Right, so I have a windowsform with lots of Textboxes, where the user can type in Information, and then hit "Save", once its saved it goes into a sortof XML Format 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!--Database-->
    <Case>
      <Person>l<Driver></Driver><License-Holder></License-Holder><Address></Address><Phone></Phone><Date-of-Birth></Date-of-Birth><Registration></Registration>
    Like that.
    Now, on my Startup Form (The main form) there is a Listview that I gave the name Objectlist1. This list displays ANY file located in a specific folder on my computer. This is also where the Saved files appear.
    The list also updates every 5th second so after you save it appears quickly.
    Now, the Files are saved using the content or Value of the first Textbox:
    Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:\Users\USER\Desktop\TESTFOLDER\" + Firsttextbox.Text, settings)
    So it appears in the folder and on the list with the value inserted in the first Textbox.
    My problem comes when I want to load this back (Or reverse the function if you will)
    Where I can go to the Objectlist1/Listview, either doubleclick a file or Mark a file, and hit my button "Retrieve"
    I want the Form where you could input all the values to show - which it does
    And the information from the XML/File saved to appear where it once was typed or inserted.
    Here is an example of the code used to save the values from the Textboxes;
    Private Sub Savebutton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Savebutton.Click
            If IO.File.Exists(Pholderbox.Text) = False Then
                Dim settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
                settings.Indent = True
                Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:\Users\USER\Desktop\TESTFOLDER\" + Pholderbox.Text, settings)
                With XmlWrt
                    ' Write the Xml declaration.
                    .WriteStartDocument()
                    ' CLIENT
                    ' Write a comment.
                    .WriteComment("Database")
                    ' Write the root element.
                    .WriteStartElement("Case")
                    ' Start our first person.
                    .WriteStartElement("Person")
                    .WriteString(Textbox1.Text)
                    ' The person nodes.
                    .WriteStartElement("Driver")
                    .WriteString(Textbox2.Text)
                    .WriteEndElement()
    I've tried multiple codesamples but they all give either "XML Not found" or such Overloads.
    This is the current code I used when trying to make it work
    Private Function ReadSettingsXML(ByVal path As String) As MySettings # On Debug It marks here and tells me it wasn't found.
            Dim thisSettingsInfo As New MySettings
            If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString) Then
                Dim settingsInfo = XElement.Load(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString)
                If settingsInfo IsNot Nothing Then
                    For Each mainGroup As XElement In settingsInfo.Elements
                        If mainGroup.Name = "<Database>" AndAlso mainGroup.HasElements Then
                            For Each subGroup As XElement In mainGroup.Elements
                                If subGroup.Name = "<Person>" Then
                                    thisSettingsInfo.Textbox1 = subGroup.Value
                                ElseIf subGroup.Name = "<Driver>" Then
                                    thisSettingsInfo.Textbox2 = subGroup.Value
                                ElseIf subGroup.Name = "<Address>" Then
                                    thisSettingsInfo.Textbox3 = subGroup.Value
                                End If
                            Next
                        End If
                    Next
                Else

    Been stuck on this for two working days, so any help is highly appreciated 
    Codesamples are also highly welcome so I can see what the heck you did and find and answer to my problems.

    I found a code that might be close to what I'm looking, but as of this code used here, it looks for a static document that already exist and is located in the code.
    See this one here, checks for the XML file, and since I can't link one program to 1 file, when its gonna have and use 100's of files.
            If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
                Same here with the static document.
                Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml")
                While (document.Read())
                    Dim type = document.NodeType
                    'if node type was element
                    If (type = XmlNodeType.Element) Then
                        If (document.Name = "FirstName") Then
                            TextBox1.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
                        End If
                        If (document.Name = "LastName") Then
                            TextBox2.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
                        End If
                    End If
                End While
    Am I at least close here, people? 
    Can anyone help with the now critical issue I got?
    I basically need to change these two;
     If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
                Same here with the static document.
                Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml")
    To whatever value, so they read from the file SELECTED in my Listview
    Cos the program saves files according to the info inserted in textboxes, so it can have whatever name you can think of, I need the program to "find and load" that file, once its selected, and then once I hit Retrieve or LOAD or whatever button, it
    injects the info from the File to the correct Textboxes.
    And I think this will work to get the info in the right boxes;
     If (document.Name = "FirstName") Then
                            TextBox1.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
                        End If
                        If (document.Name = "LastName") Then
                            TextBox2.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
    Any good advise? I'm stranded here.

  • I just bot a new ipodnano and synched my playlists from my itunes library.  However, I am unable to disconnect as it says the the ipodnano contains files that are in use by "another application".  What is it talking about and how do I disconnect?

    How do I disconnect./eject my new ipodnano after I had synched my playlists (from itunes library on my computer).
    Itunes message - CANNOT BE EJECTED BECAUSE IT CONTAINS FILES THAT ARE IN USE BY ANOTHER APPLICATION:.
    This is after my synch was succesfull and it says I can disconnect now - but it won't let me.
    Keith

    For the immediately problem, you can shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.
    There may be a process (program) running on your computer in the background that continuously monitors mounted volumes for things like maintenance, data corruption, and malware.  The iPod's storage is a mounted volume.  If you know of any such program, such as an "anti-virus" utility, and it has settings that allow you to exclude certain volumes, you can set it to ignore the iPod "disk" when connected.
    Also, if you are using automatic syncing (not the manual method) to load the iPod, and you have Enable disk use turned ON, turn it OFF.  With Enable disk use turned OFF, iTunes only mounts the iPods disk when syncing, then immediately unmounts the disk.  Thus, other processes you have running on your PC (not iTunes) will have less of a chance to make the disk "in use" and cause this problem.  You won't even have to eject the iPod before disconnecting.

  • I have photos with the same numer but they are different photos how can I fix that?

    I have photos with same names but they are different photos. Can I rename these photos ? How can I do this?

    you can save a file with the same name by dragging and dropping from iphoto to a Finder folder
    but (and there are always buts) you can only do up to 4 photos at a time
    any more and you are not given the option
    This is the error message you get:
    An item named “IMG_8770.JPG” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re moving?
    4 or lesss  your options are:
    Keep Both       Stop       Replace
    5 or more your options change
    Skip     Stop    Replace
    it will add a space and a 2 to the name
    IMG_8816.JPG  turns to IMG_8816 2.JPG
    this is the solution I was looking for; let the computer do the name change
    Cheers!

  • Cannot find my calendar events older than one year. Where are they ad how do I get them back?

    I cannot find my old events on iCal. It seems it only goes back one year. How can I find them and recover my information and events going back further than that?

    Greetings,
    Sorry to hear about the missing data.
    If you don't see your events there are 2 possibilities:
    1.) There is something wrong with the calendar cache
    2.) The events have been deleted
    First go to iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events.. -- see if this has been checked as this deletes events after a point in time you specify.  Even if this is not checked now, if it was ever checked in the past, that will delete events.
    To reset iCal's cache and settings in the hope this will bring the events back:
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    If the events do not come back then the information you are looking for is truly not in iCal.  You will need to restore from a backup (like TimeMachine) from a point in time before the events in question went missing.
    If you do not maintain backups of your computer, start now.
    Depending on how long ago these events were deleted from iCal you can try using data recovery to bring the files back although as these are past events, you may find that just moving forward from here is simplier than going through the effort but that is of course up to you to decide.
    Here are a few examples of data recovery programs:

    http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/
    http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products _id=1
    You can contact a local Apple Authorized Provider to see if they offer data recovery services: http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
    There are many nationwide / worldwide data recovery companies out there.  Here are a few examples:

    The enabling part will have to be done with LiveCycle Reader Extensions, which is also available from Datalogics as the PDF Java Toolkit with Reader Extensions.
    If you can get all of your users to move to Reader 11 and don't use digital signatures, consider:
    1. Appligent's AppendPDF Pro, perhaps along with FDFMerge.
    2. Debenu's Quick PDF Library
