I have come to loathe itunes7. Why doesn't my ipod appear in the playlists?

I've been using iTunes since version 1, but I'm about ready to dump it.
Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7 I've been having constant problems. On my windows machine, the play count doesn't increment. On my Powerbook, I keep getting "iPod cannot be updated. required disk cannot be found" - often 15 or 20 times in a single update session. The visualizer and equalizer buttons are gone and, worst, the eye of sauron is missing, which means I have to re-learn how to burn disks and refresh podcasts.
Now, I've just noticed that when I unplug my iPod, it disappears from my playlists - and the preference setting for making stay there seems to be gone.
What is apple thinking?

I beg to differ
Well, I updated. Then when I started up iTunes, the program froze and I had to force quit (force quit said "Not Responding). Then it said that iTunes noticed my purchased files were not on my computer and did I want the put there...I said no and it tried to do it anyway and froze thrice more. Then when I went to the iTunes store, it said my info had change, even though it hadn't and that I needed to update...so I did. Now ALL my stuff is gone...except what I bought from iTunes store...it completely hosed all my other stuff...man wth? I updated my software to 10.4.8 and my HD crashed...updated to iTunes 7 and pod crashes...what? did you guys get a buncha slobs from Microsoft to come work for you? I've been a Apple snob for sometime, but holy crap! I feel like I did when I owned a Dell!

  • Why doesn't my iPod touch show the Genius icon?

    I hope somebody can help me with this, it seems like a simple problem, but I can't figure it out. I have genius mixes turned on with itunes and it shows up on my itouch. HOWEVER: when I am playing a song there used to be the genius icon on top of the song while it was playing. When I clicked on that icon the itouch would select other like songs. That button went away and is replaced with only the artist, title, and album of the song playing. I still have genius mixes, but I don't have the icon while the song is playing. What happened to the icon? I tried restoring the itouch, and I called apple, and I still don't have an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Just tap the "now playing" screen. The Genius icon you are looking for is part of the additional song controls. Tap the screen again and these controls disappear

  • Why doesn't Photoshop CS6 Appear in the CC Desktop App manager?

    Missing CS6 Apps in application manager. Adobe, the app manager has been nothing but problems. Apps never used to dissapear from DVDs or CDs.
    My MacBook Pro is capable of running all CC and CS6 apps.
    So I downloaded photoshop cs6 from creative.adobe.com. When I went to install it said it could't verify my subscription.

    This works as designed. Current versions of the CC app only show the actual CC versions. For the rest refer to this:

  • Why doesn't my ipod sync to the computer?

    I have a 4th generation Ipod, bought in July. the other day when I wanted to add songs from the computer it didn't want to sync. There's nothing wrong with the cable or the ipod's plug-in because I can still charge it whenever I want without trouble. Itunes nor my computer recognise it. I'm starting to panic, so please help.

    Try
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or

  • Why doesn't this section appear in the Audition Overview list.

    I only stumbled into this part of the new Audition Forum through a link in one of Steve G's posts. Surely it ought to appear as one of the options along with Audition CS 5.5, Audition 3.01 and Earlier and Audition FAQ?

    Thanks Todd

    Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod.  For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:

    Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

    Some apps require updating when a new operating system comes out. Check with the developers of the apps you're having problems with and see if they have an update or workaround.

  • Why can't I log in to Safari? Why doesn't my grid appear anymore?

    Why can't I log into safari? Why doesn't my grid appear anymore?

    Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
    Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
    Give details of the problem. A remark such as "I think I have a virus," or "How do I reinstall," or "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
    Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
    Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.

  • Why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?

    Hi Guys:
         I just bought an apple tv. I am able to use the mirroring function with no problem, and I can see the apple tv in the "Airplay" menu.
         But When i play a video in safari(mirroring turned off), I can not see my apple TV in the "AirPlay" menu.
          So my question is : why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?
    Does the same thing happen to you guys??
    btw, I just dont want to mirroring when play a video in safari, that's why i'm asking this question
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Experiencing the same issue.  Everything used to just work.  I'm up to date on *everything* and it's all apple devices (airport extreme, appletv, 2 macbook pro lion, iphone4s, ipad). 
    My gut says it's the AppleTV since it happens from both laptops that have itunes.
    Let me know if you find a fix.

  • Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Ask a fifth time, and maybe the answer will appear.
    Are the notes actually in iCloud?  If you go to iCloud.com and log in, do you see them there?  If so, it's an issue on your computer side.  If not, then the notes don't exist on the server.

    That will take you to the event where the photo is.

    Hi Razmee,
    Thanks for your response.
    The mail server worked when I originally set it up and continued to work for months afterwards.
    What would make the outgoing mail server not be set up correctly after all that time?
    Thanks again.
