Iphone and ipad don't show up in left column of new iTunes

I recently installed the new iTunes version.
I don't understand how to "manually manage music and videos". How do I copy a file of music or an ap from iTunes to the iPhone or iPad? They don't show up now in the left hand column that lists the playlists. I don't see how to drag something to the device.
Both the iPad and the iPhone appear in the upper right corner of the iTunes screen. I can click there and see the summary of memory use and options on the device. I can also see both of them as disk drives in "my computer." I can drag photos from the folder that shows up there onto my computer.

They don't show up in the left sidebar or you don't see the left sidebar? Press Ctrl+S
Where you say you can see the device click the device name to open the settings page
Hope that helps

  • IPhone and iPad don't show up in Windows 7 iTunes

    Using iTunes 10.6.1.7 on my Windows 7 machine I can no longer see my iPhone or iPad when directly connected via USB (I can't see them wirelessly either but that's not the issue).
    I wish I could say when this started, but it's been at least a month and I don't normally connect either device to iTunes (because most of my music is already on the iPhone and because I use DropBox to transfer files to my iPad).  It doesn't appear related to anything new I've done in Windows myself (might have been automatic updates but nothing I've installed or changed in Windows).
    I DID try completely uninstalling iTunes using the procedures outlined by Apple (even manually editing directories to remove traces) and then installed the latest version of iTunes which works well (sees all my Airtune devices, for example) otherwise.  I can see the iPhone in Explorer all right, just not in iTunes.
    I've also tried disabling MacAfee AV and Firewall (there is no Windows firewall) with no luck.  I *did* install a new router a month ago but since my PC does see the iPhone in Explorer I can't see why that would be an issue.
    Any clues as to what to try next?  My fallback position is to use my Macbook Air to connect to iTunes (of course it always works) but since all my music is stored on the PC (with no way to store all that data on my Macbook Air) I'm rather screwed if I go that route.

    Sigh.  Now it seems to be working.
    The *only* thing I did was to go to the router and open up port 3689 (for iTunes sharing) and reboot my machine.  Now, I'm skeptical this had anything to do with "fixing" anything because my wife's computer (also using the same router) syncs just fine with her iPhone and always has.  Now, it's true she's on Win XP, but opening a port on a router (following a VERY old article that Apple said was no longer supported) for iTunes sharing doesn't seem like it would do much in the way of letting me see my iPhone (except that it did).
    (I opened up the port because I was thinking that perhaps my Macbook Air could sync my iPhone IF I could link it to my PC iTunes library -- that's when I found out I couldn't share it until I did the above and then suddenly all started working fine).
    All of this crap makes me feel like the very old man I am (it really shouldn't be this difficult).  But thanks for listening.

  • Some messages sent/received on my iphone and ipad do NOT show in Messages Beta. Why?

    In the past 4 weeks I started experiencing this issue: some of the messages I send from my iphone and ipad will NOT show in Messages Beta for Mac OSX. Likewise, some of the messages received on my iphone and ipad often don't show on my Messages Beta.

    HI,
    The best I have on this at the moment is that the Messages App is still Beta.
    Secondly there have been some changes to the way the iMessages parts are syncing.
    This may be due to Apple making changes to the iMessages server and the resultant sync issue to do with that.
    Of course in the change over, if my guess is right, some messages may have been lost.
    Some of this seems to be altering the  way Messages get Flagged as to whether they were delivered or not.

  • I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now my encryption passwords for my iPhone and iPad don't work.

    I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now my encryption passwords for my iPhone and iPad don't work. I know Apple says if you forget them then it's your problem. However, this was a direct result of my iTunes upgrade. I spent hours trying to fix this. HELP!

    Definitely seems to be a cross-platform bug in iTunes 10.5 concerning all NAS disks. Shared libraries on network drives worked fine under 10.4.1, but now there is just an endless loading cycle with no error message or time-out. There is a bit more about it in this thread.

  • TS3276 how do i get my mail box on my iPhone and iPad to STOP showing me ALL my emails and ONLY show me my NEW ones?

    how do i get my mail box on my iPhone and iPad to STOP showing me ALL my emails and ONLY show me my NEW ones?

    Who is email provider? What sort of email account is it - POP3, IMAP or Exchange? POP3 will work like this as with that whoever first downloads the latest mail from the server deletes it from there and so it's unavailable to other mail clients on other devices.
    Either switch your email account to  IMAP  or change your POP3 account's settings so the new mails are not deleted for some time (a week, a month or whatever) after first download and are thus available to other devices also (IMAP is best solution but if POP3 is all that's available from whoever your provider is then you'll have to live with POP's limitations).

  • HT4914 My wife and I both have iPhones and iPads. Can we both have access to the same iTunes Match library or do we have to have separate subscriptions?  Our devices are synced to the same computer and we currently download titles from the same library.

    My wife and I both have iPhones and iPads. Can we both have access to the same iTunes Match library or do we have to have separate subscriptions?  Our devices are synced to the same computer and we currently download titles from the same library.  We both use separate apple id's on our devices.

    You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

  • HT1386 iPhone and iPad don't always appear in iTunes for wifi sync, why? Sometimes, when my phone and ipad are both turned on and I open iTunes it shows "2 devices" in iTunes and I can sync. Often one or neither will show up, no matter what I do.

    I can sync my iphone and ipad over wifi using itunes, but not always. In fact quite frequently neither shows up in itunes. I try to reboot them and sometimes they show up, but not all the time. I have tried rebooting iphone and ipad, the computer, checking and unchedking "sync over wifi," etc.
    Nothing changes. Very often one or both do not show up to be synced. they work find if connected by usb cable, but not over wifi.
    any help would be appreciated.

    So far I've found the only remedy is to reboot my server (Mavericks Server is my OS).
    Clearly there is some system service getting hosed.  If I can figure out which service to kill and let launchd restore the service, I can save some grief.

  • HT5787 How can I change an old email to a new one? For some reason my old email comes up on my iPhone - and I don't get access to change to my new email which I have on my iCloud account on my pc. My AppleID works on my pc, but not on my iPhone!

    How can I change an old email adress on my iCloud accout to my new email (the same as on my pc), as long as my Apple ID works on my pc but not on my iPhone?

    You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.

  • How come the song and album does not show up on top of the new iTunes?

    I just downloaded the new iTunes and when I go to play a song, the title and album does not show up on the top of the screen.  The only thing that is there is the Apple logo.  Does anyone know why this is? and how can I get it to show the song title and album.
    The song is playing right now, but it is not showing up where it used to.  (Where the Apple logo is)

  • HT1386 iphone and ipad no longer show up as devices in itunes

    my ipad and my i phone no longer show up as devices in I tunes. I have so far shut down and restarted the PC, ipad, iphone, uninstalled and reinstalled the itunes program, done the ''reset all" in settings on my ipad, changed USB ports. Any suggestions?

    On your computer, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs and uninstall iTUnes, apple mobile device service, apple application support. THen redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it works.

  • I changed my Apple ID. I can log in on my computer with it, I get in. but my Iphone and iPad don't seem to know its been changed. Creating many problems. How do I sync that info?

    I changed my apple ID, I can log in on my MAC so I know it works but my iphone 4S and my ipad mini dont know it has changed!!
    Causing many issues.

    You need to go to Settings > General > iCloud or Settings > General > iTunes Store and update your account information there. You need to do this on each device you have that account set up on.

  • Can i set  the same email account as POP on MacBook and IMAP on iPhone and iPad?

    I got an email account which is currently POP, it was setup on my MacBook, iPhone and iPad. Since POP cannot sync the read email, every time i have to read them on three devices - MacBook, iPhone and iPad, or it shows loads of unread mails.
    I heard IMAP can solve this problem, but after set the email account up as IMAP, loads of my emails lost! Luckily most of those emails are restored from Time Machine. IMAP is too dangerous, so i changed back to POP.
    Now i'm still surffering from read emails three times, i wonder anyway to fix this problem? can i set the email account as POP on MacBook and IMAP on iPhone and iPad?
    Many thanks,
    X

    Normally, at least all smartphones I've used, do not delete things from the server. The Email programs on phones know enough not to delete emails you delete on the phone from the email server so you can still get them on your computer. I personally don't need or want all my emails on my phone. It is good to check emails and reply it ones that need a reply right then but otherwise I want them on my computers. Using IMAP on phone/pad may not act the same as POP and may interact with the server differently, deleting email I don't want on my phone from the server.
    I do have one IMAP email address on my phone, Google with Google Mail. All others access the servers with POP.

  • How can i get my iphone and ipad to sync

    My iPhone and iPad don't seem to sync the calendar information.  How can I fix this?

    Yes unless you sync the Calendars to on both devices to another common Calendar like Google calendar.
    If you have a Mac with less the Mavericks Calendar will sync to the Mac's Calendar app.
