HT1386 My iPhone 4 no longer appears on the left hand side of ITunes so I no longer can sync

My iPhone and iPad suddenly stopped appearing on iTunes screen so I can no longer sync or communicate with iTunes on any of my computers.

- Reboot the computer and reset the iPod. Resetting results in nothing lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My ipod is not showing up in the left hand column on itunes. I have tried the trouble shooting methods but nothing is working. My ipod nano also will not play.

My ipod nano is not showing up in the left hand column of itunes. It says connected on the ipod and I can find it in my computer but its not there on itunes. I need it as I want to restore it to factory settings. I have tried the troubleshooting methods that are on the Apple website but no luck.
Also my ipod is not playing. I found a way to upload all my music to my new computer. I followed a guide given to me on wiki and it worked. However, since then I cannot get the ipod to play. The menu is there, it turns on, all the playlists are visable but when I press play it does nothing or flicks briefly on to the page to play but then flicks back to the list again. I have tried all the troubleshooting on the Apple website but again nothing. I wanted to restore it to factory settings but to do this you have to be able to access the ipod in the left column on itunes which obviously I can't do. That was happening before the ipod stopped working. The two issues are separate.
Thanks and hope you can help me.

I have sorted it myself!!
Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

Where is the iPhoto library stored and how can I browse to it in Finder? The "Photos" option is not showing up on the left hand side.

I created an app using Automator to batch resize my photos. When I take photos with my iPhone 4s the resolution is so big I can't upload them to a web site, so I can select all the photos in an event and resize them down. It's too time consuming to open each one in Preview and resize it manually. This little app works perfectly!
Here's the only thing I'd like to change - when the app starts up it asks which photos I want to resize. I'd love it to default to the iPhoto library so I can choose the most recent event. But I can't for the life of me find it! Normally there's a choice on the left hand side that says Photos and in the automator finder window, it's not showing up. I've looked through all the folders I can think of and can't find it.
Help!

You are not using iPhoto properly and are in danger of losing your photos
iPhoto is a SQP database application and there are NO user servicable parts in the database (by default the iPhoto library) It is extremely important that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the content (or structure) of the iPhoto library
The only safe (and suppoprted) way to resize photo is to select them and export using the various esize options in teh export dialogue and use those resized photos - this is a bathc process and does not involve Preview nor does it involve seperate processing for each photo

I asked " how do I get my songs from my itunes library to my ipod?" and you said to sync to ipod. Now, I did see that on the left hand side, but now it's gone. What do I do? I tried "file" and sync, but it did not do anything.

I asked, "how do I get my songs from my itunes library to my ipod?" and you said to sync it to the ipod. I saw that at one time on the left side, but it's not there anymore. I tried clicking on "file" and then on sync, but it didn't work. The word was lighter than the others, so I figured I would not be able to click on it.

When I connect ipad to computer and go to itunes, it will not show my ipad on the left-hand side on itunes page. message on winzip says i need pro level winzip program.

When I connect ipad to computer, itunes does not show ipad on left side of page. winzip appears and says need pro version. i have apple id, etc. and have dowmloaded music to ipad previously. What do I need to do to get it to recognize ipad?

Did you set the iPad up on a Mac? I set mine up on windows and my Mac wouldn't read it so I started over. Just a thought though, not sure if that's your problem.

HT1351 How do you manually sync songs onto iPod/iPhone with the recent iTunes? This article is invalid as there is no section on the left hand side of iTunes called 'Devices'.

Very frustraiting as I cannot currently put songs onto my iPod/iPhone after regrettably downloading the most recent iTunes, and my friends are having the same problem. I have an apple mac and it is clearly a fault of the new iTunes as it used to work before the new iTunes.

How do you add music to iPhone in Itunes it doesn't show up in the right hand corner anymore?

How do you add music to iPhone in Itunes it doesn't show up in the right hand corner anymore?

Reboot your computer. In iTunes go to View menu. Does it say Hide Sidebar? If it does look the iPhone in the left sidebar in iTunes.
If it says Show Sidebar and you still don't see the iPhone on the upper right try choosing Show Sidebar and look on the left.
If it's still not showing see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
