Unhide devices

ITunes 10.5.5.3 on Windows Vista Ultimate, and a laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate. I connect my IPhone 4S or IPod and it recognizes them every time - Great! ITunes in general works great.
HOWEVER, If I hide Devices, I can't Unhide/Show. The word Devices goes away completely. I have gone through every menu (File, Edit, View.. etc..) and there is no option to Show Devices. This happens on both the PC and the laptop so it's not just the OS causing the issue (unless it's Windows in general) The only way to get Itunes to show it again is to unplug them from the computer, wait a few seconds and reconnect.
Is this an "undocumented feature" or is it a bug in the software for Windows? Is there an easy fix for this???

For those of you who say "Don't Hide the Devices" well... the first time, it was accidental. The second time I was just trying to clean up the left menu - and then noticed I couldn't "Show" devices again. I figured it was the PC.... so I disconnected the phone, connected it to the laptop, and clicked Hide on the menus I didn't want to see. Then again, when I went to Show devices, the Devices menu option had disappeared. This also happens when I have the IPod connected. All the videos and support options I found online said to reinstall, check for this, check for that. I did all that and STILL if you hide the Devices, you CANT UNHIDE/SHOW. According to all documentation/support info/forums information, you should still at lease SEE THE DEVICES menu option there. But NOT on my stuff.

How to unhide DEVICE in itunes?

I went to itunes on my macbook and in the left pane there are headings like - LIBRARY, STORE, SHARED, etc. I think there may have been one called DEVICES too (where my ipad 2 was listed). I accidentally hit "hide" and now I don't know how to unhide it. Can someone tell me how? Thanks

When you click the hide button it collapses the menu. Just click it again and it should come back.

How to Unhide Devices on your Finder window

So I hid one of my divices and I would like to undo that but I don't know how to.

Hey there,
I'm assuming you hid it from the Finder sidebar. To get it back, click 'Finder' in the menu bar at the top, then 'Preferences', go to the 'Sidebar' tab and untick and then retick the category of the device that you hid.
Let me know if this helps,
Nathan

How to unhide a Bluetooth device?

By mistake I hide a Bluetooth device because I had some trouble to establish the connection. How can I unhide this device? I did not find any option.

I don't have anything that equates to "Hide" when I look at the bluetooth screen for a device on my phone in English.
The top option on the page is "Forget this Device". That sill effectively delete the pairing.
I think you need to re-pair your phone with whatever you're trying to connect to.

Movies Purchased on iTunes via iOS Devices not showing up in iTunes on my MacBook Pro

I have some 40 movies that I have purchased through iTunes on my iPhone. They all show up on my iOS devices as well as my Apple TV but only 8 of them show up on iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I have read threads from other users that found a resolution to their problem by "unhiding" the movies through iTunes in the Cloud but my account only shows Manage Devices & iTunes Match, so that didn't help unfortunately. I am runing the latest version of Mountain Lion and iTunes and I have gone to "Check for Available Downloads" but a window just pops up saying "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID". Does anyone have any ideas or guidance on what I could or should do?

Hello RepsolRider
Go to the iTunes Store > Purchases, and then you should be able to see your purchases. Click the cloud icons to download your purchases. Also go to iTunes Preferences, go to the Store tab and make sure that Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases is checked.

Purchased apps on iPad, but only a handful appear in purchased section of app store, and I can't get them on my other devices.

I bought a ton of apps on my iPad (First generation), and when I upgraded to an iPad 2 (currently running ios 8.1.2), I was able to re-download those apps and purchase new ones using my same appleID. However, now, when I go to the purchased section of the app store (both on my iPad and on my Macbook Pro) again using my same appleID, the only purchases showing are ones that I made after I upgraded to the iPad 2 (in Feb 2014). Nothing previously purchased shows up in that section. So now, when I try to use family sharing or even just download my early purchases onto a new device using my own appleID, I can't. The app store just prompts me to purchase the apps as if I never bought them before.
So, for example, I have minecraft pe on my iPad (it's still there and works fine, and it's the latest version 0.10.4). A few months ago, I was able to put it onto a new device (my brother's) using my appleID. He then deleted it off his iPad, but now wants to re-download it. Since we're on family sharing, he tried going to the purchased section of the app store under my name, but it wasn't there. When I looked on my own iPad in the purchased section, it wasn't there either. When I signed into his iPad with my appleID, and searched for the app in the store, it prompted me to purchase the app for $6.99 instead of offering to download it from iCloud, like it used to do. I've checked on my Macbook, and, there too, it doesn't show up in the purchased section. I don't have any hidden apps, so I couldn't 'unhide' it either.
At some point, I'm sure I'll upgrade my device, and I'd like to know that all my apps (including minecraft) can be downloaded - especially since I've been using the same appleID for all my purchases. Is there something I'm missing? Any help on how to get access to those apps that I've already bought onto new devices? I'd rather not have to re-purchase everything.
Thanks in advance!

If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely. Remember
Occam's razor?

Special device does not exist, FSTAB Issue

I set up this arch64 install last night, and till now I've managed all right except for one niggling issue. For some odd reason, when I installed everything I forgot to add my "sandbox" partition in Fstab. I thought I could just generate a UUID then add a line to Fstab later, and I did just that. However, as its not part of my LVM, I'm wondering if thats why I cannot mount my sandbox partition from Fstab. Ideas appreciated.

1300 aps, all in fldrs..thn BOOTLOOP crsh/restor. devic/os indepndnt..hapens 2all. once loaded up, th hd is oftn maxd @bout 2-400mg aval free. wht do u thnk caus' ths evr prsent failur

With over 1300 itunes loaded apps and 2+gb of cydia, all in folders, i get BOOTLOOP'd. device/os independant. 2-400mgs of free space. what exactly do you think causes' this ever present failure?
In Short:
1. restore my iph4
2. backed up itunes data is restored (not as new phone)
3. jailbreak (entire process littered with reboots/ springs)
4. loader installs cydia
5. pkg backup restore of cydia apps
6. itunes Install 1300+ apps (sometimes all at once, sometimes 50-100 at a time)
7. start icon categorization setup (creating approx 50-75 folders and filling with apps til only 50-75 folders are left on the springboard)
8. and then.....
9. BOOOOM!.....
10. Bootloop.....
11. a sigh as i pour a forty to the curb cuz of the loss of weeks worth of work (use to be a rage of some sort followed by depression, but that's long been numbed)....Bootloop....
12. Bootloop....Bootloop....Bootloop....Bootloop....Bootloop....Bootloop....Bootloo p....Bootloop....Bootloop....Bootloop....
13. try like normal to bring it back. some times it works thru tiny umbrella. sometimes thru a hard reset.
14. but it never lasts.................
15. redo - 1-2 weeks gone!
In Quire:
1. asking myself these questiions, i've trued all of these, like maybe there's another restore//jailbreak/cydia pkg install/itunes apps install combo? maybe all the apple apps first. then the jailbreak? this, however, was the first thing i tried. it think it might be even worse this way.
2. try less reboots between big changes?
3. i kinda get heavy handed when it comes to downloading & installing 5-10 packages/apps/themes at one time thru cydia's q. should i only do & at a time?
4. should i boot in safe mode & install all of my cydia apps while there. like in the old mac days, extensions hated being installed while others were running.
5. what about the apple apps? only install all of those, as well, while in safe mode?
6. is there a magic number of cydia items i can have installed on my iphone?
7. is there a magic number of apple items i can have installed on my iphone?
8. how about installing. can i let itunes just run and run and run and install all 1300 apps, a couple gigs of songs and movies all night or should i baby it.
9. if i baby it, how many apps should i allow itunes to install back -to-back before stopping it gently and then maybe rebooting and then starting again?
10. how about cydia. and successive app download and install limit?
11. does the os get ****** when i install and uninstall apps all of the time? i mean, i'm not flippant. just picky.
12. when i restore, and i select thru pkg backup and thru the itunes restore process, the last version, thus bringing over all of the preferences and junk from the failed os, could i be effectively be bringing over the problem? and unsolved conflict? a booty plist file?
13. holding the home button and then hold the power without being plugged in, until the apple logo appears and then goes or appears and goes twice are two different cleansing. and most of the time, if the failing os gets saved, it's one of those processes that does it. why?
14. why doesn't tiny umbrella's 10x bootloop repair work?
In Detail:
so, each and every time i spend a week or two doing the entire process you see below. i'm sure many people do. i love it! but...then 'the problem' occurs and the whole process starts over. it's really hurting my life. it's like a bootloop within a bootloop. soon my chick's gunna give me tha pootboot!
1. restore iphone 4/32 thru itunes via 'option button to retain the baseband' method. i always have the latest os unless it's got issues.
2. then i'll either:
    a. i'll let itunes sync to my last backup of that device Without adding but two or three apple factory loaded apps. like the first sync. not virgin 'new', tho. OR
    b. i'll stop right after the restore w/o doing any syncing but where i get a home screen and immediately jailbreak it.
         • use to be thru pwnage tool 4.3.3.1, but now thru jailbreakME, of course. but it does not matter....the problem will happen no matter the dev.
         • a) is performed more often than b) found no real difference.
         • also, to note so that anyone reading knows that i am a avid rebooter and respringer between deeper changes and upgrades.
3. now i'll perform the en vogue jailbreak, jbME is just stellar! great job Saurik & Comex! now it's time for cydia to look like the app store!
4. now i install cydia thru the loader and then reboot a couple times.
5. then i'll immediately install only PKG Backup. then reboot a couple of times.
6. then, thru PKG, i'll install All of my cydia apps. reboot and do it again if it missed a couple and so on until complete. i've listed them all below.
7, then spend the first bout of time adjusting and organize all of the new cydia joy. a couple of days to a week. prefs brought over via PKG are getting better.
8. then i either start or continue the process of itunes app installing. usually stopping the process every 100 apps to reboot and/or use for the night.
9. that itunes install process takes days. then or during i start the folder creation and icon organization process. usually end up with about 50-60 folders.
10. now i start filling up these folders with, remember, over 1300 itunes, cydia and installious apps. this is often where i find the bootloop to occur. not as much as of late, but it's where i see it most. when finished, i have very little hard drive space left. 200-400mb to sometimes 1gb.
11. if lucky, i have only folders on my springboard filled with apps. i've been there before and then the bootloop would attack. but even then, it's usually after an install of some sort thru cydia.
12. i then bust out tiny umbrella and try, oh try, their 10x bootloop recovery. usually nothing. and during that process, since t.u. is using greenpois0n, i get to see the verbose boot screen which shows a clue as to what the problem might be thru this result:
"AppleBCMLAN: :handleIOKitBusyWatchdogTimeout!(): Error. no successful firmware detected after 60000 ms! giving up"
13. i also try a single-cycle power button hold force reset and then double-cycle power button hold force reset. sometimes one of these work. but usually only for a short day or week. it's just the sign to backup and be ready.
what do you think causes this ever-present failure to haunt me/us? or is it just 'it is what it is'?
In Terested:
I have a number of ios devices. been jailbreaking them since day one of cydia. do'em for people all of time. i'm not a hacker by any means but i know what i'm doing. ****, i'll go up in that and **** a string of display text up! but, code...no. wish.
i was going to start a business called cy0pt which customizes ios devices for peeps with bucks. other issues arose, but do be on the lookout for a site called onewon.com. i've got mad app sifting knowledge and see the need for a site/app showing not all, not the top 10 but the single most capable app per category. the categories would be busted way down to like 'live effects photo and video'.
i'm hoping that once trusted by a user after the user had downloaded a couple, compared and found my findings to be tight, just said '**** it' and grabbed everything fom my site and considered his app aquisition process complete. the hope is to not only speed up the tool gather out there but also to show apps that are categorized in high detail get used more often because they are easily identified as to what exactly they do. let me know what you think.
also, i need a person to build the site and a person to build the iPhone app or one to do both. let me know if you'de like the details for a possible percentage partnership.
thanks for any assistance!

Using the new Photos app on multiple devices - confusion!

I find the recent way ios/Photos handles photos quite confusing. I am not too concerned about not having a Camera Roll, but seeing how not having this creates strange behavior when editing/deleting photos, I can see how the Camera Roll is definitely necessary or the whole thing needs revamped to handle things better.
Here's my set up:
iMac with iPhoto
iPhone 5s with the new Photos app
iPad Mini with the new Photos app
The one things I DO like is that whenever I take a photo (or upload in the case of my iMac), the photo is duplicated across all devices. That means I could take a photo on my iPhone and then edit it on my iPad Mini which has a bigger screen. (Well, so I thought..but read below.) Yes, you could do this with Photo Stream, but having all photos in one place is a bit easier to remember and find. I also like that when I delete the photo on the device that I took it on, all photos on the other two devices are also deleted. Easy. Thanks.
But that is where the ease of use ends.
If I delete the photo on any other two devices (i.e. the devices that I did NOT take the photo on), it only deletes on the devices which I didn't take the photo on. In other words, it leaves the photo on the device which I originally took the photo on.
To add to the confusion... if I edit the original photo, the edits do not get duplicated to the other devices! I see the original photo on the devices with which I did NOT take the photo but the edited one is on the original device I took it on.
Let's add even MORE confusion....if I want to edit the photo on a device it was not taken on, I then get a notice that it has to be Duplicated before I can edit it. Well, okay, I do that and then edit it. However, I now have the original showing up twice on the device it was originally taken on...the original photo and the now duplicated photo--it's the EXACT same photo since no edits get carried over from the other device.
I believe all of this is because of what happened when ios 9 combined the functions of the Camera Roll and Photo Stream together. It exhibits both behaviors but since you cannot be sure which photo was taken on which device, you have less understanding what will happen when you try to delete a photo or edit it.
Here's the key headache....What happens if I want to make sure a photo is deleted from ALL my devices and I don't remember which device I took the photo on? I will have to check every device just to be sure! I can't even open up iPhoto on my Mac and delete it from the Photo Stream album because it will remain on the original device. So, I have to check all devices and also iPhoto on my Mac for good measure in case I actually uploaded a photo there--which I do since I am scanning in old photos.
Key headache #2...you end up with duplicates of the photo if you edit the photo on any device on which it was not taken on. You also get different versions of the photo. You end up not knowing which photo was the original. To be sure to have all edited photos eventually on you iMac, you'll need to sync all devices physically to iPhoto.
Who has time to track all this?
What should happen is this...all of the photos, including their edits, should sync exactly on all devices. My Recently Added should look exactly the same across all devices and carry over any edits...now that is what I would call Continuity and Handoff! But as it stands, we don't have anything close to this...is more like Pandemonium and MixUp!
This is really a mess and way too confusing to keep track of. I can only hope this get resolved when Photos on the Mac is released.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

What is the best way to set up multiple Apple devices ?

Lime many of us here I have quite a few apple devices and I just wondered whet the best way to set them up with itunes / Apple
my Apple gear:
Mac mini 2.53 with Mountain Lion
Mac Mini 1.6 duo Snow Leopard
Iphone 5c (mine) running 8
Iphone 5c (wifes) running 8
iPad 2 (old) 64 GB running 8
iPad Mini 2 retina 32 GB running 7
g3 iMac (running Tiger) Juke box (semi retired ;-) now)
At the moment all devices (apart from new Mac mini 2 and the old G3) are set up under my Apple ID ... (1 Apple ID for all devices) ... obviously this has problems : my wife downloads an App it will appear on my phone; we have had to disable some of the messaging systems as at one point my wife was getting my messages et ... is there a better way to do this?

cosmiconion wrote:
one drawback of same Apple ID for store is that what she downloads will automatically appear on all devices
Do you mean the visibility of the purchase in the App Store (under purchases) or the installation of the app automatically on the other devices?
In the App Store on the device (under iOS 8 at least on the iPad, I couldn't get it to work on my iPhone 5 under iOS 8), you can hide purchases...just swipe it to the left in the Purchased list. You can then unhide the hidden purchase(s) if desired by using iTunes on the PC/Mac under your iTunes account.
Auto App updates (Automatic Downloads) can be controlled under: Settings/iTunes & App Store, scroll down to Automatic Downloads and disable those that you do not want.

Most of my movies are not showing up in my library or my devices. what can I do?

Out of all the movies Ive purchased only 4 or so are showing up in my library and same with my ipad which used to display all my movies even if they were not downloaded onto my ipad. how do I fix this?

Hey there La Reveuse,
It sounds like your iOS devices and computers are not showing your Movie purchases from iTunes anymore that are not downloaded to them. On your iOS devices you can check to see if the option to show all your movies is enabled in Settings > Videos. On your computer(s) this option is labeled Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases in its preferences.
iTunes 11 for Mac: iTunes Store preferences

or
iTunes 11 for Windows: iTunes Store preferences

I if this is enabled on your devices, I would next check to see if the purchases have been hidden with this article:

Well, the problem is that i cannot start jackd -d firewire as a normal user, as root tho, there is no problem and i have tried to play audio files through jack using mplayer w/o any problem... I own a Focusrite Saffire and have installed FFADO libraries.

Unable to get USB devices working on VirtualBOX (Puel)

Hello, when I put and USB device on a Windows Virtualbox machine, I always get this error:
Not permitted to open the USB device, check usbfs options
Is there any solution to this problem for arch?
This is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=102,devmode=666 0 0
and showing you that I'm on the vboxusers group
[davigetto@helena ~]$ cat /etc/group | grep vbox
vboxusers:x:102:davigetto
I also load vboxdrv on rc.conf modules section, so Virtual Machines Works, only USB devices don't work.
Greetings

Hi,
your post is a little bit older. But I have never used USB on a VirtualBox. Yesterday I need to get working it.
I have add this:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=<vboxusers-gid>,devmode=664 0 0
to my /etc/fstab and reboot my machine (maybe there is another possibility to get working it without reboot). After that, USB support fully works in the VirtualBox guest system.
Maybe your user isn't in the right groups.

How can I find the file of my Apple Device shared project?

I'm not sure if this a Final Cut Pro question or an iTunes question...
I shared a project from Final Cut Pro to the Apple Devices (so that I could watch the video on my Apple TV). I found the video in Home Movies in iTunes, and actually watched it successfully through Apple TV.
But a day or two later, when I look for the video again in Home Movies in iTunes , I get this message: "The video [video title] could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Yes I would.
But I don't know where to look in Finder to find it? Does anyone know where these video files actually go when we share them? (Is this one of those cases where it's a hidden file, and I need to unhide them to see them? If so, how do I do that?)

The step by step process...
When my project is ready to go,
1. I select File>Share>Apple Devices 1080p
2. That opens an Apple Devices 1080p pop-up window
3. I use the default setting (which says it adding to playlist "Library"
4. after a few minutes I receive a notification of "share successful)
5. I open itunes, and can watch the newly shared video on my computer screen (my other videos are listed too, but if I try to watch them I get the message "The video [video name] could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?")
6. I find the video on Apple TV by going to my computer, my library, Home Movies
7. I watch the video on Apple TV (some of the old videos are listed, others aren't)
8. Soon thereafter, I return to iTunes on my computer, and now, when I try to watch the newly-shared video, I get the same error message I documented above.
9. I return to the Apple TV and now I get an error message when I try to watch the video
This is iTunes 11.1.0.50
and FCP 10.1.4
Also, I'm editing videos with an external drive as my video source. I don't know if that has anything to do with anything.
Also, also, per your suggestion, I looked at the Library icon>Show Package Contents>Project Name>Shared Items but couldn't find any of the video files that disappeared. But I did run a quick test to watch all my steps, and I COULD find the file of that latest video. So now I know where to look. That said, I'm going to leave the latest test video there, and see if it disappears soon too.

App store hide/unhide problems: (1) can't "unhide" (2) "hidden" apps don't remain hidden

I've searched hither and yon online for a way to “unhide” apps I’ve hidden in the App Store. The procedures I’ve been able to find, involve choosing “View Account”, logging in, and selecting an item called “Unhide Hidden Apps”. This would seem straightforward enough except that, I find nothing for “Unhide Hidden Apps”. I’ve tried on both my iPad and my iPhone, both running the latest iOS.
Then, to add to the frustration, this. I select an app in the App Store. I slide and select “Hide”. (Say I’m viewing the set “All”.) Then I select “Not on This iPad”. The supposedly “hidden” app is still visible. Okay, what the heck? I slide and select “Hide”. Then I select “All”. Guess what? The app is still visible. I select “Not on This iPad”. The app is still visible. Not fair. :-(

You are right. They do not all show up there - I'm thinking only those that are actually downloaded to the Mac maybe?
If you go to the Quick Links section in the iTunes Store, and click on Apps and All, you should see both the downloaded and the iCloud ones on that list. (make sure you have also click on "All" and not on "Not in My Library".
And if you hover over an app on that list, you will see a little "x" in the top left-hand corner. Clicking on that hides the app. You can hide both apps that are downloaded as well as those still in the cloud. However, it does not remove it from your device. If you did hide it in iTunes, and then also deleted it from your device, it would then be fully "hidden".
Does that make sense? (I still can't figure out how to do the Hide thing on my iPhone.... )
