Left column gone in iTunes 9

Just disappeared. Not sure how. Tried uninstalling then reinstalling but it kept my "settings." Help!
I'm sure that there is a simple solution and I'm just blind so I am sorry in advance.

Accck ... haven't seen that reported for a while.
Usually it's because something horrible has gone wrong with your iTunes preferences files. The technique you need to deal with that is described in the "Remove iTunes Preference files" section of the "User-specific troubleshooting" section of the following document:
[iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717]
Before starting out on that, set the PC up to view hidden files and folders, as per the description at the beginning of the "User-specific troubleshooting" section.
*Some heads-ups before proceeding*
Be careful of any custom preferences (EQ, imports, etc) you have set up. Take a note of those, because rebuilding the relevant prefs returns all such prefs to their default settings. You may need to set up any such preferences all over again.
You may also need to reinstall any third-party plugins afterwards.
Things to expect during the pref file rebuild ... moving one set to the desktop (on XP) causes the setup assistant to run during the rebuild. Avoid saying yes if it asks you to import all the media files on your PC into iTunes. Otherwise, you'll end up duplicating all your content in your iTunes library. Moving the other set of prefs to the desktop (on XP) means that you have to agree to the licence agreement again.

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

ICloud Status column gone in iTunes 11.2.1?

Has the iCloud Status column been removed from the lastest update of iTunes? When I go to view options it is no longer there. How are we supposed to know what has been uploaded or matched in iTunes Match now?

How odd a restart of iTunes brings it back. That fixed it.

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.

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)

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.

Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

HT1296 "Device" isn't even listed on the left hand column of my iTunes to be able to copy songs onto my iPod nano. What do I do?

The "device" category is not listed on the left hand column of my iTunes to transfer my playlist from my MacBook to my iPod nano. When I plug the nano in the Mac, nothing different happens either. What do I do? The Help option doesn't explain what to do if the Device listing isn't there.

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

Itunes - on the left column - where it says movies "what is the number that appears on the right"?

In itunes on the left column, where it says movies "what is the number on the right side"? Mine has a number 1 in the white circle. What does that mean?

Number of unwatched movies.

The ! in the far left column

I imported several of my CD's to itunes. Some won't copy onto my ipods (Nano and Touch) but they did before to an earlier ipod. There is a ! in the far left column. What the heck?

The exclamation point means iTunes is no longer able to locate the file in the location that is specified from under the track's Summary tab of the Get Info window.
