There is no "DEVICES" listed on the left side of itunes.

itunes recognizes my ipod and my iphone..  However there is no "Devices" listed on the left side of itunes.  My ipod, when I plug it into my puter and open itunes does show up on the row that has songs, allbums, etc on the very right hand side, just to the left of itunes store.  when I click on it, "my ipod", it opens up the "on this ipod' screen.  And "my ipod" then shows on the very left, same row.  When I click on the little arrow just to the right of "my ipod" it shows a drop down menu thta has Music, Movies, tv shows, etc.  However there is NO 'Devices" on that drop down menu. 
"When in Manual mode, to add songs or playlist, drag them from itunes to the DEVICE icon in the sidebar" I cannot do this because there is no DEVICE icon in the sidebar. 
What can I do to solve this please? 
What I am wanting to do is to xfer songs that I have on my puter to my ipod.  I have xfered them to itunes library.  However if I try "syncing" them, I get the 'your ipod is synced to another library' message. 
Please do not ask me to reinstall itunes.  I went through the whole process of COMPLETELY removing any trace of itunes, quicktime, and all the other things listed in the How to remove itunes completely from your puter.  I have checked that Apple mobile device USB Driver is up and installed and running.  I have checked to make sure Apple Mobile Device support is instaled and OK. 
What else can I do? 

clarkkent26,
By default ringtones won't show up in the left hand column until you have downloaded some.
If they aren't showing after that, or you want it to show even though it is empty, in iTunes preferences you can specify what sections to show.
Hope this helps,
