My devices no longer appear on the iTunes sidebar on MPB.

My two devices (iPhone 5 and iPad Mini) no longer appear on the ITunes sidebar on my MBP. Please advise.

Until the recent updates to OS 10.9.5, iTunes 11.4 and the upgrade to iOS 8.0 for iPhone, iPad etc, iTunes 'knew' that my wife and I had 2x iPhones and 1x iPad set to sync with our MacBook Pro over Wi-Fi. Now, despite all devices still being set to sync over Wi-Fi, only one device is ever shown by iTunes as being found/available. The single device appears to be the one I last connected to the MBP using a cable. I appear to be able to make iTunes 'remember' any of our devices, but only one at a time. Clearly I'm not alone in experiencing this problem! Help please Apple.

This is a recent problem. Everything was fine initially, and I don't think that I've done anything to change my setup.

My device does not appear in the iTunes window. Instead a separate window opens so I cannot sync

My device does not appear in the iTunes window. Instead a separate window opens so I cannot sync my device. I have tried with both my iPad, my iPod and my iPhone. In each case a separate window opens showing that it is fully connected to the computer, but it does not open in iTunes.
I have followed previous instructions to stop then start the device manager. I have even uninstalled then reinstalled iTunes, but no luck. Can someone help??

Hello Linda Lev,
It sounds like Windows recognizes that your devices are conneted, but iTunes does not. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

Where is the photo tab in itunes? it doesn't appear in the itunes sidebar

where is the photo tab in itunes? it doesn't appear in the itunes sidebar, I am trying to remove photos from my ipad by restricting them from appearing after synch.

I was struggling with this too - but seem to have found the issue. It appears the photo synch option in iTunes isn't available unless the photos are out of synch.
This is incorrect.
The Photos tab is always available when you have your iDevice connected.
First open iPhoto, move the photos you want to get rid of to the trash, then close iPhoto.
No one seems to want to delete the photos from iPhoto/computer.
They just don’t want them to sync to the iPad.

My podcast no longer appears in the iTunes Store

Hello, my name is Rafael and I have a podcast called "TouchCast.
There I and a friend turned to deal with issues iPhones and iPods Touch.
To begin the registration of our podcast and the registration problem has been tripled.
Well published in three different blogs
www.mundotouch.com.br
www.itouchbr.com.br and
www.touchcast.com.br
In an attempt to block the mundotouch and itouchbr intentionally blocked the touchcast.
To block used in all the RSS tag <itunes:block>yes</itunes:block> and all were removed from the iTunes Store only that we publish only the touchcast only that we are not able to get him re-appear in the iTunes Store .
I have made several attempts, I put <itunes:block>No</itunes:block> I did ping the itunes resubmit your feed and when I try to access the http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=id
He says that is not available to U.S. iTunes.

Using the <itunes:block>No</itunes:block> tag is the correct thing to do: how long ago did you unblock it? - new episodes take 1-2 days to turn up so I would expect the same sort of delay before iTunes reacts to the unblocking.
If it has been substantially longer I can only suggest contacting Support:

My iPod touch(4th gen.) no longer shows up in the iTunes sidebar, any ideas?

Does anyone know why an iPod no longer shows in the iTunes sidebar?

Assuming a PC
Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

HT1386 I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now my Outlook notes won't sync and notes no longer appears in the advanced section of the info page

I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now I cannot sync my notes from Outlook 2010 to my iphone. Notes no longer appears under the advanced section of the info tab. Since I have not had luck syncing in the cloud I always check the boxes and tell the sync to sync from my computer to my phone. Does anyone know how to get this to work.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

HT1386 Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone no longer appears near the top of my iTunes Window. The Summary lists items that I can sync with my iPhone such as "Music, Photos, Apps" etc.

Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone with iTunes no longer appears near the top of my iTunes window. "Summary" lists items I can sync such as "Music, Photos, Apps", etc with drop-down boxes I can use to manage how I sync those items. An icon for my iPhone does appear near the top right corner of the iTunes window; however, when I click on the icon, the sync automatically begins and there is no display of what is syncing or how much space has been used or how much space is left for syncing music, photos, apps, etc. The new iTunes window no longer lists "Devices" on the left-hand side of the window. Has anyone had the same issue?

In iTunes go to View>Show Sidebar.

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
This was the first purchase I made.

Are you following these instructions?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Where is the lock icon on the screen?

I would understand it if you checked email on your Mac, and then those messages were not available on your iOS devices if you had the advanced account setting "remove copy from server after retrieving message:" set to immediately.
I looked through my iPhone settings and don't even see an option to tell my phone to pull the only copy of a message and delete it from the server.
Possibly there is another setting in Lion (I am running Snow Leopard still) that tells your Mac to only synchronize mail to your iOs devices and is not pulling mail directly from iCloud.
You could try disabling your current iCloud email account in Mac Mail, and adding a new one and just telling Mail it is a standard IMAP account (imap.mail.me.com incoming and smtp.mail.me.com outgoing).
I did that for Leopard to get my email even to work after MobileMe is cancelled and it seems to work fine with my iPhone.
If that doesn't work, you can delete that new email account and re-enable the temporarily disabled iCloud email account from above.
Hope this helps.

IPod classic: itunes tells me that my ipod is in recovery mody and needs to be restored. It then says that when it is restored that it will appear in the left sidebar however it never does. any ideas why??

I haven't used my iPod in a few months so I charged it up, updated my itunes and everything was going fine. However when I connected the iPod to the computer and went into itunes, a message kept popping up telling me my iPod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. I clicked on the restore option then a message telling me my ipod had been restored popped up, it also said that my iPod would appear on the left sidebar of itunes once it had restarted and to leave it connected to the computer. The apple symbol appeared on the iPod and it appeared to be restarting. While I waited for the iPod to show up in itunes it turned itself on, after another few minutes the original message popped up telling me that the iPod needs to be restored. I have tried this many times but to no avail. I have also carried out numerous procedures said to solve this problem including changing the letter of the iPod drive but still nothing works!!! I don't know what else to do!! Has any experienced the same problem? Any ideas on how to get this working??

Hey saandyy,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You can try to restart the iPhone to exit recovery mode.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Have yu looked here:

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

My devices no longer appear on the iTunes sidebar on MPB.
