ITunes missing left column

I was playing around with my AIM buddy list with iTunes open, and I expanded my docked buddy list to the full screen, and when i restored it, the whole left menu on my iTunes has disappeared. The column that usually contains radio, playlists, ipod, etc... is gone. It doesn't look like it's been selected not to appear, it looks like it's just been pushed out of the picture. I've tried numerous things. Any suggestions? and btw this is iTunes 4.7 i think. (i had to rollback due to difficulties with 5.0)

Hi Scott

My iTunes is not showing the left column

My iTunes is not showing the left column, it will NOT show the link to the music store or my playlists, and it is driving me crazy! PLEASE HELP ME!!

How to restore your Preferences Dialog Boxes and/or your Source Pane:
Scott P.: My Source List is missing (or, resetting the prefs)

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

HT1386 I installed Snow Leopard and have the latest version of iTunes. However, when I connect my iPhone, it charges and iPhoto opens, but iTunes doesn't seem to recognize the iPhone. It simply doesn't appear in the left column. What gives?

TS1538 When I open itunes, "Devices" does not appear at all in the left column on the screen, therefore I can not sync my ipod touch.

When I open itunes, "Devices" does not appear t all in the left column on the screen. I can not sync my ipod with my itunes library. Suggestions?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

I disappeared the "device" in the left column of iTunes

inadvertently tighten the arrow to drive that is next to where it saysdevices in the left column of the iTunes and I disappeared the option "device" .. I can do to return? thanks

Nothing has changed that would affect the way the iPad is recognized in iTunes. Here is the link to Apple's support article on this issue.

You probably have done all of these steps except for....
Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier only: Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
Here is another troubleshooting article that might help.

Times missing in left column in week view

I am using iCal 2.0.3 and the hour times to not show in the left column in week view. Noon is present, but no others. There have been a few occasions that times have shown up, but then the next time they are gone. I set up a new user and went into iCal and the dates show. All my prefs are the same in my account and the "new user".
I am suspecting that there is corrupted prefs file of some sort, but I am reluctant to just delete files without knowing which one. Since I installed 10.4 a few months ago, I have found a lot of settings changed that upgrades should have kept intact in preferences.
Any suggestions?

How do I get the Device link back into the left column so I can update to iOS 5. Don't know what I did with it.

The Device link on my iTunes is missing. How do I get it back into the left column?

Top Sites, you mean? You can instruct Safari to open these in the General section of the preferences.

Why can't anyone tell me how to remove all those little "!" in the left column all at once or at least sort them so I can mark them and then delete them?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
If, on the otherhand, you've been cleaning up your media from Explorer rather than iTunes and just want to eliminate the now broken links, use Tunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

After the latest update I can no longer see my iPhone listed on the left column - how do you get to where you can pick

After the latest itunes update I can no longer see my iPhone listed on the left column. How can I get to the section where I can pick & choose apps etc to be synced?
Also I had to get a new iPhone & so I backed up the night before to the cloud & my computer. When I tried to restore from back up with the new phone my back up wasn't there - shouldn't it be automatic via wifi from the cloud?
What am I doing wrong?

Your iphone is shown at the top of the page.
You can also simply click View>Show Sidebar and it will look about the same as it did before.

Flash in left column

I would like to insert a Flash file directly below a Nav bar in the left column. It works on the template preview but when I preview the actual pages that use the template I only get a white box. Is there some reason a swf file won't work in that location? (CS3)

I missed you in iChat yesterday as I was posting this to let you know.
It is mostly as the Page 7 stuff is but laid out in a form that can be used without tables or extra div sections of HTML.
As I am sure there are newer things that we have missed such as
http://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/CamCamX.html
and other VJ type apps that might warrant some sort of mention.
Anyhow it might flush out some some more anyway.
I still feel that the credit for this lies with you.
I am going to leave it for a while to see what comes up here and in the other forums of items that might need a mention.

I cannot locate numerous songs in my library. When I click to play the window state that it cannot locate the song. When I look at my I-Tunes LIbrary under songs the far left column has "!" in it. I do not know what this means.

I have been able to re-load all of the songs to my I-Pod touch that were not lost on the computer. All of the songs were lost when I did a download of the new operating system. Has anyone had this proble, and does anyone know how I can locate the files on my PC. The list of songs and the album art have remained in the I-tunes window but the songs cannot be played because they cannot be located. Does anyone know about the "!" in the left column and can this help in recovering the songs. There are over 1700 songs that I cannot locate so I would appreciate all the help i can get.
Thanks All!

Hi,
All I do is click on the song, it asks me if I would like to locate it and I go to my music first. It's normally in there and you just click on it and it reloads. Or, search in your computer for it and it will locate it if it's there. Click C drive and you can see all files then move the track to my music first. Finally you could delete iTunes, reload it and press button: scan for media then it will give you back one of every song you have ever loaded digitally!
Hope this helps.
