MY ipod doesnt show up under devices on the left side bar? and now the option for devices has completely disappeared?

I can't find the option for "devices" on the left sidebar in itunes, where my ipod should show up? It has disappeared. How can I get it back?

Hi SMM1971,
If you click on View in the top menu, and then click on Show Sidebar, then you will see the Devices listed (when your device is connected) under the Library and Store.
The reason it disappeared is because that little "iPod" indicator that shows on the top also has the "Eject" button right next to the iPod name, and it is really easy to click on that instead of the button itself....
Cheers,
GB

  • I downloaded the new operating system and now the Bluetooth in the car does not play my music.  All the songs show the cloud with a red arrow pointing down. How do I download all of them again to my I phone please?

    I have an ITunes account.  I got it when I got my IPOD.  I've thought about upgrading, but I didn't see any reason to buy a newer IPOD because they all come with so much stuff I don't want/need.  I don't have my current IPOD filled yet and I really don't need an IPOD Touch that has capabilities that my Droid already has.  I don't need to be concerned with documents, mail, attaching to Facebook or playing games.  I can do all that on my phone.  I just want to maintain my music between 3 devices.
    So now that I see it is not to my benefit to have this product---can you point me in the direction to cancel this?  And how do I get my music back?  Will it show up once I cancel my account?

  • When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes on my PC, a screen comes up that has the music square icons with music notes in the squares.  Not the home screen I am used to seeing that shows all categories on the left side.

    When I plug my iPhone into PC to sync, I am getting a screen with music squares with notes in the icon.  I was getting the iTunes home sync screen with the categories on the left side.  And it had options along the top as sync items.  It will sync, but I have no idea where the iTunes screen went. 
    I also will get an error message that says "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected".  But, it does back up and it is connected.  Any ideas out there as to what is going on and how I could fix this?  Thanks. 

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • I updated to Firefox 7 and now the scrollwheel on my touchpad doesn't work. Have tried updating my device driver, and restarting with add ons disabled. Please help!

    OS- Windows 7
    Upgraded from Firefox 3. I tried updating to FF 4 a while ago and had the same problem, so I went back to 3. Decided it was time to upgrade and the problem recurred. Please help!

    Try to modify the pref <b>ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled</b> on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
    *Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

  • Where is the photo tab on itunes? My device is not listed on the left side of my screen and there is no photos tab on the right of my screen. I want to delete photo albums that were synced through itunes to my ipad 3.

    I synced several photo albums to my iPad 3  from my computer through iTunes. Now, I would like to remove them and have discovered that they cannot be removed except through using iTunes. Instructions that I've read say that once the device is connected to and selected from the list in iTunes, select the Photo Tab and then the folder that contains the photos etc.  I never get that far because I do not have a Photo Tab to select in iTunes. How do I find this illusive tab so that I can delete these albums that are merely duplications of other pictures and are just occupying space. I need to get rid of them. Can anyone help me find the photo tab. I cannot move past that step until I do. Also, my device is not listed on the left side as stated in the instructions. It's in the bar on the upper right area of my screen and is automatically selected when connected. I am using the current version 11.1 for iTunes and IOS 7 on my iPad 3, if that helps.

    I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

  • My ipod is really beggining to irritate me,wheni finally get apps sent to my ipod touch they are still saying "waiting..." and now the apps picture on all of them is blank and i still haven't dowloaded one app successfully.What's going on with my ipod?

    My ipod is really beggining to irritate me,when i finally get apps sent to my ipod touch thay are still saying "waiting...."and now the apps picture on all of them is blank and i still HAVE YET TO DOWNLOAD ONE APP SUCCESSFULLY! What's going on with my ipod & how do i fix it?

    Have you tried a hard reset of your iPod yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If that doesn't work, are you still connected to a network?  Either way try connecting to a different one and downloading another FREE app to see if that helps.

  • Updated iTunes and iPod software  iPod not showing up under devices in iTunes

    Updated software since computer said there were updates.  Now I'm having trouble with iPod not showing up under devices.  Have gone through all the steps under troubleshooting.  Nothing helped.  Had this same problem periodically in the past, as well.  Itunes also says I have an app I reinstalled today due to it not working properly, and it won't synch with iPod.  (earlier today, iPod was showing up and synching properly, but this app wasn't getting downloaded to the iPod.  Just shows up in iTunes.  HAve tried restarting computer, iTunes and iPod, but no luck.

    Thank you but I have tried this and it still does not show up.  I even tried to delete itunes and reload it but the computer says that it is not able to delete itunes.

  • Ipod not showing up under devices - 6th generation

    when I open itunes ,my ipod shows up in the top right hand corner of the screen as "ipod" but does not show under devices on the left side. When I try to sync the opod to my library ,  Itunes says the ipod synced successfully but there is no music on my ipod at all now .I have tried all kinds of the suggestions regarding the "services" and making sure the apple driver is on the computer. I had to download a whole new operating system ( from dell) a few months ago. since then I have synced my iphone but cant seem to get the music from my library to my ipod nano(6th gen) . any ideas. I also re loaded itunes again but that did not help ???

    What do you see on the screen of the iPod when it's connected to your computer?
    Have you tried resetting the iPod or restarting the computer?

  • My 40 gb iPod doesnt show any text on the screen

    My 40 gb iPod doesnt show any text on the screen. The screen will light up and there is an audible clicking noise when using the navigation wheel. Hooked up to my iTunes the iPod also no longer shows up. Ive tried reseting with no luck. Any help is appreciated.

    If a restore of the iPod in iTunes does not resolve the issue, it's likely that your iPod's screen will need to be replaced.

    Do you mean like this?
    I'm not an expert on this but I get these files now and again with my job where clients upload fonts to our FTP from a PC. These are files that OS X doesn't recognize or doesn't have the software to open it. It's probably because your drive was formatted for PC. Do the iPod video files have a file extension at the end of the filenames such as .mp4 or .mpeg (or whatever the correct extension is for iPod video, mp4 I think)? If not and in my experience, adding the correct extension to the file usually enables OS X to recognise and open the file. Try it with one of your files and see if it opens.
