Ipod preference pane missing in itunes 7.1?

I just upgraded iTunes to 7.1.1 and want my iPod icon to remain visible, even when it's not connected to my computer. But now, under preferences, there is no tab for iPod, to change this setting. Anyone know where it went?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Unfortunately, this isn't possible. The iPod icon will only display in the source list when an iPod is plugged in. Also, the new iPod page (what you first see when you plug in an iPod, or select one that is plugged in) has all the options that used to be in the iPod preferences tab.

Preference window missing on itunes

has anybody had problems trying to get a summary window to change sync, I have no summary click buttons at top of library, i've reloaded itunes but is still the same ,i'm running windows xp professional.

This might seem like an odd question but have you got your iPod connected? You only get the iPod preference tabs whenever your iPod is connected and showing in the iTunes source list. To get the Summary screen you click on the iPod icon and the preference tabs are displayed in the main pane.

MobileMe Preference Pane missing

Where can I get the MobileMe preference pane if it's not showing up in my system preferences?
I have an iPod touch (which has MobileMe running just fine) and a MacBook (running OS 10.5.4 and MobileMe running just fine) and a mac desktop (also running 10.5.4, but no MobileMe pane!)
The instructions for MobileMe say to upgrade the OSX first, but I can't. I use the desktop for ProTools audio production, and can't afford to upgrade THAT software (I'm currently flat broke). For the version I have right now, it's not compatible with an OS higher than 10.5.4, so I'm not able to upgrade any higher. Is there ANOTHER way, besides upgrading the OS, to get the MobileMe pane onto this computer?

Have you got a pane called '.Mac'? - if so, that's it - the name hasn't been updated because you are technically using an earlier system than is compatible. It will still work, though you may find occasional oddities.

Account preference pane missing

Running an iMac G5, OSX 10.4.6, 1GB RAM
I recently purchased a refurbished iMac. During setup I choose the move files from another computer (iBook G3 running OSX 10.4.6). This worked fine, moving my applications, documents and user information. I ran updates to bring the sytem to what was on the iBook. This was two days ago.
Now my Account preference pane is missing when you select System Preferences. I have no trouble logging in (was set on auto login), but I can't see the Account pane in System Preferences now to add another account.
Is there a way to bring back the Account Prefernce Pane selection to the System Preferneces screen?

Hi Doris, try this:
Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache and delete that file.
Then navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist and delete that file.
Now relaunch system preferences. Let us know.

MagicPrefs preference pane missing.

I use Lion on my MacBook. I also use MagicPrefs, but I can no longer use it because the preference pane is not there (in my library) I deleted MagicPrefs and downloaded it again, but stil I cannot use it because there is no magicprefs preference pane in my library. Can you please help me

Those items in preference panel come as default. Have you tried a Spotlight search for the items in the Pref Panel??
If nothing, then maybe something went wrong in the reinstall... I'd sugjest to do a new install but doing it as an archive / install. That way you don't loose any of your info and maintain your network prefs, docs, etc.
HTH,

International Preferences Pane Missing

For no apparent reason, my international preferences pane (System Preferences) has disappeared. Just completely gone, and I need it!
Before I begin thinking about pulling out my OSX Snow Leopard install DVD, thought I would ask here:
Has anyone seen this before and found a quick fix?

Ummm...guess I hadn't tried to access those preferences in a long time and just answered my own question. In Snow Leopard, the Language and Text pane replaces the old International Pane.

Network System preferences pane missing

Went to adjust network preferences and unable to find network system pre. pane. May have deleted it accidently.
Do not have high speed connection so most of my updates from 10.3.7 to 10.3.9 would have to be done all over again.
Is there better alternative than a total reinstall of the OS?
Mac Mini 1.25 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Douglas,
Do you see a Network Preference Pane in your Macintosh HD/System/Library/PreferencePanes Folder?
If not, it is probably gone and you can replace it by extracting the file from your Panther System Disk with Pacifist.

My Mdaughter got a ndew ipod and is missing some itunes she purchased.

My daughter got a new ipod and can't find some of her recent purchases. How can I find out what she has purchased and get them back?

IPod Pref Pane in iTune 7.0.1 Does Not Work - Do I have too many playlists?

I'd love to be able to submit a screen shot of this. When I connect my iPod (4G, 3G and Nano), the iPod Preference Pane pops up. I have 50,000 songs in my iTunes library and about 3,000 playlists so I always use the "selected playlists" option. What happens, though, when I click the Music tab is that the new screnn only partially paints and none of the select or radio buttons work. If I then select a different tab, the text for it is painted on top of the previous tab.
Bottom line is that I can't change which playlists are going to be updated on my iPod. I've sent a note to Apple about this but, so far, no response.
G5 1.8Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.1)

My PC worked great with iTunes 6, does that require Terminal Services?
hmmmm. i only know of this as being an issue with the iTunes 7.0.x versions. (my guess here is that some of the new functionality that comes with 7.0.x requires Terminal Services ... but i have no idea what functions in particular those would be.)
i guess it's plausible that if you've got some disk damage around the dll, that might interfere with the attempts to replace or reregister it.
if you run a chkdsk over your C: does that find/repair any damage? if so, do you get Terminal Services showing up?

Ipod preferences missing

I'm manually updating my selected playlists but when I connect my ipod, I get an error message saying that the ipod preferences are missing and it can't update my ipod. Anybody else see this and have a solution?
Thanks

The preferences for photos has changed in iTunes 7. Now you need to select your iPod from the Devices list in iTunes. Once selected, the iTunes main window will be replaced with a number of tabs labelled Summary, Music, Podcasts etc. Click on the one labelled 'Photos' and you'll be able to manage what gets copied from that window.

Library missing and itunes always said ipod connected to other library

Hello all,
I moved my music folder from my documents to hard disc. The reason is that my documents folder is connected to the office network.
Since then I have problems with my itunes;
- ipod is not recognisable by itunes
- my library is missing from the itunes.
I have tried to add music back from the music folder; but it seems that when i add the library when i am not connected to network, always lost when i connected to network; vice versa.
And everytime i add the library, my ipod is not recognised by the itunes, in consequences i have to re synchronised the ipod to the new library.
Please help to solve this problem. Thank you.

Verify that you have the right boxes checked to manaually sync. It sounds like you do not.
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Next would be to:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

"Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." What is this?

I have been getting this error message since about the end of June when I updated to the latest version of iTunes. It's pretty annoying. Let me lay out how this has been happening for the past month, the best I can. I have a 32GB 4th gen iPod Touch
I load content up to my iPod. Music, Apps, Videos, pictures, etc.
My iPod works well for a little while, days sometimes a week is the longest I went without seeing this message.
I connect iPod back to my laptop through the standard pack in Apple USB connector.
I get the "Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." message. When I go to the preferences tab, I click restore and iTunes gets stuck trying to restore my iPod. Then I have to uplug my iPod. And Shutdown/Restart my PC reconnect my iPod, and go through the restore process again.
I have been doing this for as I said, a month. It's getting pretty grueling to keep havomh putting cotent on my iPod after these restores.
I've tried everything.
I've stopped autosync, it still happens.
I tried to reinstall iTunes(be it I didn't full uninstall before trying to install again and got the option to fix corrupted files and such
I've deleted all old back up, and it still happens
Today is the fist time I'm fully uninstalling iTunes, and then reinstalling to see if this works.
But do you guys have any otehr solutions for this? As I said, this didn't start happening until I installed the lastest version of iTunes 10.6.3

- Have you tried another cable?
- Another USB port?
- When you have the problem, connect it to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
- Try just restoring the iPod to factory settings/new iPod. Do not restore from backup. If you still have the problem with this and all computer that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ITunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs

Can somebody help me?
I have:
+ iPod Touch 4th Generation 32GB
+ Wi-fi connection
+ iOS5 installed
iTunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs. The only tabs that's showing on my iTunes are Podcast, iTunes U, Search and Downloads
Also, whenever I try to load un Podcast tab, it ALWAYS say Your request could not be completed.
Thank you very much!

Where exactly are the tabs that are showing, are they a list at the bottom of the page and next to it is the "More" option, or are you referring to the options on the More tab? You can move these options between the bottom of the page and the More section.
Is that the problem, or is there something else missing? (Perhaps it would have helped if you had mentioned what is missing). If it's the Apps section you are looking for, it has its own App button on the Home screen.
As for the problem with downloading Podcasts, I would try getting them in iTunes on your computer if you cannot download them via the Touch's Wi-Fi.

Itunes won't let me change my ipod preferences :(

For some reason I can no longer update my ipod because an error message appears saying that all my playlists no longer exist. However: I can clearly see my playlists in my itunes... I tried adjusting my ipod preferences so that it updates all checked playlists and then i checked all my playlists. The problem is that once I do that, I get an error message saying that "my ipod's preferences were not saved because 'it' could not be found"... What can I do?

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.
