New iTunes for managing apps

Dislaimer: I am NOT an experience iTunes user!
Question: How do I see my devices in a way I can manage the apps on them in the new iTunes?
Background:
I updated my iTunes yesterday to 11.01.12, the "new, even better" one.
I understand it makes my music experience that much better...but I don't really have any music.
About the only thing I want to do with iTunes is see what apps I have, re-arrange them (from one screen to another on my actual device), etc.
The main reason for this is that I'm trying to migrate from my iPod Touch 4 to iPhone 5, and for some reason, when I did the back-up, it only moved over native apps, not anything I'd downloaded. So I can drag and drop them from the apps screen when I can see my devices.
But there's the rub. When I first plug in my devices (to my computer), I can see them. But as the new iTunes doesn't seem at all user-friendly to me, I can't figure out how to see the devices (and it won't show them unless I unlock them first with my PW..a problem I never had before! The first image below is what I see when I first plug them in (no idea why it only recognised one device this time, they both just got plugged in). If I click on the iPod button, sometimes it will take me to a screen where I can actually see what's on my iPod, but sometimes it just goes straight back to the list of Apps -- and I can no longer see how to get back to my device -- see in the second image, the button is gone!
Is there a way to go back to an older version of iTunes?
Or another place I can go in iTunes to see my devices when I want, without having to have them re-sync all the time?
Thanks!

    Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder?  See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

  • When I sync my ipod with the new itunes, will my apps on my ipod disappear?

    The original itunes I was using is no longer available because the computer it was on is now broken so I ended up creating a new itunes on the laptop but I haven't updated my ipod because I was afraid that all my apps on my ipod would disappear..if I had free apps I would be fine but I have some apps that I paid for so I don't want to update just yet. So when I sync my ipod with the new itunes, will my apps on my ipod disappear?

    oohitsnicolee,
    I just want to summarise a little here so that other can be sure what is expected when comes to this issue....
    1. To transfer your purchases from iPod, iPad or iPhone, 1st U have to connect your iPod for this instance to your PC. Once connected, you should see your iPod name appeared on the left column in iTune. Do a right click on your iPod to Transfer your purchase to this NEW iTune. Since is a new iTune, all your Apps from your iPod will be transfer to here...
    2. Once transfer is completed, you should see all Apps in iTune now. Before you syn, you may choose what you want to syn to your iPod by checking the box next to the Apps. So eventually those that are not check will remain in your iTune together with those you have syn. Since they are purchased Apps ( Free/Paid ) it will remain in your account unless you choose to delete them via iTune.

  • Will re-syncing iPhone to a new iTunes installation delete app data?

    As per topic above. Recently reformatted my computer before I was able to do any backups (Just couldn't get into Windows).
    Now I have re-installed everything and have synced my iPhone with a new iTunes library, but I have not synced my apps as I am scared that whatever data on the apps on my iPhone will be deleted.
    Will this happen?

    Basically wjosten's advice worked for me. I had wiped my MBP and installed Snow Leopard but forgot to make a backup of my itunes library. My main concern was the app data. I followed the instructions but chickened out at step 8 when iTunes warned me that it would erase the phone and ..." so I cancelled to just make sure I had everything right but it went ahead and made some weird sync anyway which left about 20% of my apps on the phone. So I restored from that backup I made at Step 6 and this time said ok to the sync at step 8.
    But then I checked the sync apps checkbox but either didn't realise or something happened that meant all the apps were unchecked. Next thing I see is "removing {app name}" which started freaking me out. I'm not sure what to do from this point so I started checking all the apps and pressed apply. However, it may work better if you cancel the sync but even better would be to have all apps checked in the first place. In the end end though I didn't loose any data - even on the apps that I saw getting removed just moments earlier. WOOHOO!!
    One side effect of this is that the apps are not in the same screen order as before... but that is either my fault or a very very small price to pay
    So this method works but you have to have the guts to click ok
    Also, be careful of your voice memos - I'm not sure if the instructions here cover those but they are not paid content so I would make sure you use something like http://www.macroplant.com/phonedisk/ to back them up.

  • New iTunes 11 - rearranging app is a pain - please improve

    The new way to rearrange apps in iTunes 11 is really really painful. It used to be an easier and quicker way to easily move apps around and rearrange pages and folders. Now it is really a mess - very slow and just painful. Please Apple - this is not good enough. It is a mess to look at and very hard to use. Have you (the programmers / designers) tried to use it yourselves?
    Please - please - make it better or like the old setup.
    kind regards,

    Wouldn't use that...

  • How do u make a new foldler for your apps?

    how do u make a new foldder for organizing your apps

    Find two apps you want to put in a folder. Hold your finger down on one of the apps till they are all jiggling, slide that app onto the other app you want to be in the folder. Name the folder whatever you want. Press the home button when you are done.

  • New JSP for existing app?

    The client presentation layer of an existing app is swing, which is for the local office user. For the travelling users, can I deploy the app to their notebooks with Webstart so that they can access the app thru internet, without writing any new codes? or should I write new JSP/html pages for them?

    swing, which is for the local office user. For the
    travelling users, can I deploy the app to their
    notebooks with Webstart so that they can access the
    app thru internet, without writing any new codes? or
    should I write new JSP/html pages for them?It depends on your requirements. If your clients start to use PDAs, you won't be able to use Webstart with those. A servlet/JSP solution OTOH would require the client to be constantly online and can't be as feature-rich as a Swing UI, but they can serve all kinds of devices.
    Whether you need to rite new code for Webstart depends on how well-written the application currently is. If it doesn't rely on path or JAR names in any way, I don't think there's a problem. You might need to sign the JARs, though.

  • New iTunes for old iPod. HELP?

    so my sister got an iPod mini 2nd generation and put her songs on there through her iTunes on her computer. She gave the iPod mini to me. Now I want to put my songs from my iTunes on the iPod but every time I try to "sync iPod" it keeps her songs on there. it does not put my songs on there. is there any way that I can put my songs on there by using a new iTunes on a different computer than the original??
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Dell   Windows XP  

    That is correct, a simple Restore will fix the problem.
    Also, I think your sister might have an iPod nano.

  • How do i create a new itunes for me on brothers mac without loosing his on my own itunes and apps etc

    anyone can help ?

    The most practical option would most likely be for you to have your own Mac OS X user account on that computer. Then your iTunes library will be completely separate from your brother's.

  • HT2204 My iPad says it is unable to connect to iTunes for my apps and screen is jammed how can I sort

It seems jammed. Have been having problems since I loaded I cloud but have tried to delete that but still no joy re access to existing games please help

    Hey Bikerbabe09,
    I would start off your troubleshooting process by following these steps:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
