ITunes has no Devices section

I have the latest OS (10.9.2) running on an iMac, with the latest (just updated today) iTunes (11.1.5), and I am trying to sync my iPhone 4s (latest OS also, just upgraded this week).  The problem is, I can get iPhoto to start up when I plug in my phone, I can see my phone on the list of USB devices, but iTunes won't do anything with it.  In fact, there is no "devices" section on my iTunes anymore, and I can't seen to figure out why.  I have 2 iPhones and an iPad that are supposed to Wifi sync, but they won't do that either.  There is just no devices section anymore.
I've tried looking for fixes, but MOST of them are either for Windows or older Mac OS's, and none of them helped.
I'm not sure what to do next...

  • TS4062 My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.

    My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.  I have gone through all steps of the troubleshooting guide.  All of our other ios devices are wi-fi sync-ing fine.   Can anyone help?
    Not sure how long this has been a problem.  Kids are young and I manually manage most things but recently having music synced is an issue.  All software has been kept up to date.

  • I have used my current iTunes 5 times on different iPods through loss and breakage etc. I have my 6th iPod, how can I sync all my current music onto it if this iTunes has come to it's limit of devices?

    Through damage, loss and resetting computers, my iTunes has synced itself to 5 devices (which I believe is the max) but I currently have my 6th iPod touch and need to know how to keep all this music and put it onto this other iPod. Do I create another Apple ID? Is it possible?

    You can have 10 devices associated with your iTunes account for iCloud purposes. See:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    You can have five computers authorized for one iTunes account. See:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    Just what are you trying to do and what message do you get?

    I see the "Connect to iTunes" screen and the device appears in iTunes. Every time I connect to iTunes, iTunes says my device is in recovery mode and has to be recovered so I do so. The same recovery message shows in iTunes after iTunes is complete. I have a iPod touch 64gb. I have no idea what OS is on it now that iTunes has tried to recover it and erased all info.

    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

  • ITunes no longer shows 'Podcasts' item under iPhone device section.

    Stats:
    iPhone 4 (32GB)
    iOS version 4.3.3
    iTunes for Windows 7 (64-bit) Version 10.3.1.55
    I have iTunes set to manually manage my music and podcasts. Previously I had done this by clicking on the "Podcasts" item under the iPhone device section. Here I would delete podcasts I had previously listened to and drag new podcasts from the "podcasts" item under the Library section. As of today, when I connect my iPhone to my computer, it no longer lists a "podcasts" item under my iPhone in the Devices section.
    Now I can't fine a place to delete old podcasts. I also do NOT want to use iTunes sync function for podcasts. Anyone else having this issue?
    -Mike

    Just found out. You select the podcast page on your iPhone 4. You drag your finger, from right to left, over the screen, just like you do to delete e-mails. The delete option will present itself. Touch the delete button and confirm. The podcast will be deleted.

    I've seen similar symptoms produced in the past when a podcast file is damaged, but it's much rarer to see that cause of trouble nowadays.
    If it is a podcast file causing you grief, Jim's technique from the following post might be of some assistance when it comes to trying to track the problem file(s) down:

    That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.

    *i've managed to download quicktime, but am still unable to download itunes. after reaching a certain point in downloading itunes, (about 1/3 of the way?) it stops at "copying files", and my computer freezes and i have to hold the power button in order to shut it off and do anything, or i get a popup asking me if i want to change something so itunes can finish downloading. i click "yes", but then the download stops completely and i get a message saying "itunes has finished downloading, but with errors" and it tells me to download it again.
    a popup from MobileServiceDevice keeps appearing as well, but it won't go away. the details are:

    but the fault module name changes on me. sometimes it's kernel32.dll, and sometimes it's something else, and i've already tried using task manager /find str but it doesn't help.
