Viewing disconnected devices in iTunes

I have synchronised a number of iPods with iTunes, but no longer have some of them. However, I am unable to remove a record of them as they only appear in iTunes when connected. How can I view disconnected devices / view old devices in iTunes?
Many thanks,
Matt

How do I view activated devices in itunes on my ipad

I can't get to my laptop and I think someone's device is activated through my iTunes that shouldn't be. How do I manage activated devices in iTunes from my ipad?

Hi James,
Thanks for the quick reply. Is this really true? Music on all other apple devices is organised alphabetically yet on the iPad it's chronological and there's no way of changing this setting?! This seems crazy to me as albums are not necessarily dated according to their original creation, but rather reissue date etc. Pet Sounds is scattered all over the place on my iPad!
If you have the sort set to organize by album artist, an album shouldn't be "scattered". You may want to check your tags and make sure Album Artist is consistently set for all tracks. Some of the other tags, such as "part of compilation" can impact this as well. That won't correct the primary issue, but will keep your albums tracks properly grouped.
As for the lack of flexibility in sorting, you might consider submitting feedback to Apple:

No longer able to view the device in iTunes client

All of a sudden, when syncing my iPod Nano, I can no longer click on the device name on the left hand pane to enter the view where I can control and change options while syncing. It still syncs, but when I click on the device name, nothing happens. This just started happening.

Very grateful for your response and time.
The Application I am talking about can be found when you open up a NEF file in Bridge and look at the Metadata tab on the right. Within that is the File Properties tab and the Application Ver. is the 3rd item from the top (after Filename and Document Type).
Yes, I do have only the one ACR file (Camera Raw.8bi.) in the program file/COMMON FILE/Adobe/plug ins/cs3/file formats.
I have also realized (brilliantly late in the game) that it is only the NEF files shot from my new D300s that do not work. No problem with the NEF files shot with my D100. So this leads me to conclude that my Bridge/Photoshop CS3 does not support the Camera Raw 5 that seems to be required for the D300s. Argh.
By upgrading my camera equipment, I have outmoded my requisite software.
I must say, that the recent post advisory on the forum site ("Raw files appear as icons") was supremely timely. While this does not solve my problem, it did help me understand the compatibility issues with the D300s and CS3. I have learned the following: D300s are supported by Camera Raw 5.5 which does not work with CS3. Is this correct?
Dazed, but not beaten down,

TS1425 it won't disconnect it says connected but is not showing up under devices in ITunes

I Pod is not showing up under devices in ITunes...it is connected to my MacBook Pro and it says connected ...but it is frozen...

I'm not a Mac user, but do one of the following:
> Restart your mac.
> uninstall & reinstall iTunes
> reset your iPod (if possible)
> make sure iTunes is up to date.
This is what I really know, I don't use a mac. If this doesn't help, then sorry.

Howdy nzh50,
It sounds like you have a device associated in iTunes with your Apple ID that you would like to remove from your account. This article should help you out there:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Apple tv not in devices in itunes

This seems to be a common theme and I've been scouring forum posts and have found similar problems but thought I'd ask here as well:
We have a 2nd gen ATV that has worked fine for almost a year, with the occasional hiccup that was usually solved by resetting or unplugging power source and plugging back in. In the last week, we have not even been able to use it for most things....here's are the problems:
-Netflix streaming and iTunes all work fine on our iMac and MacBooks
-we can access all of our iTunes music on ATV
-home sharing is ON
-no access to any of the general or network settings on Apple TV
-no access to "sign out" of netflix on ATV
-we can stream Netflix shows and movies for exactly 2 minutes, then it shuts off, back to menu where you push play on ATV
-we can watch previews of Itunes movies, but we can't access the rent feauture
-we can watch previously purchased Itunes shows
& probably the source of out problem - Apple TV is not showing up as a device in Itunes on the main iMac.
When we try to connect it in Itunes we get the error 15006, which I've searched on here and found no solutions.
I'm at the end of my rope - we are not techies by any means, we have an all Apple household and shut off cable and now we literally can't watch any TV at all....I know Apple will try and tell me to buy Extended care if I call Support, which is ridiculous when this stupid thing only cost $99 to begin with....should I jjst buy a Roku? Is this a fixable problem? Do we need more bandwidth? Why can't the computer connect to the ATV??
Please help!!

If you can't get into the settings on ATV then I would suggest disconnecting it and restoring in iTunes

Is there a way I can view/manage devices linked to my iCloud account?

Is there a way I can view/manage devices linked to my iCloud account? I know how to view the devices linked to my iTunes account, but I am not sure if this is possible to see with an iCloud account.

You can't, except by seeing if they are using services associated with the account. You could, for example, launch Find My iPhone on iCloud.com to see what devices appear (which obviously wouldn't show devices not using Find My iPhone). Similarly, you could go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to see what devices appear on the Backups list (which won't show devices not using iCloud backup).

2nd hand ipad not showing as associated device on itunes

Hi All,
I bought a 2nd hand Ipad a couple of weeks ago from a shop (all legit). As I'm pretty useless with all things tech they synced most of my pics/vids and music from my Iphone using their computer in-store. As my Iphone has more space than the I pad, I bought extra ICloud storage (not realising that this wouldn't create more space in the Ipad - told you I'm stupid when it comes to tech stuff!).
Anyway, after spending saving my pics,vids and music to an external hard drive via Itunes, I then synced my favourites to my Ipad to give me more space. I first noticed that there was a problem when trying to play some of my songs, it would say "this device is already associated an an apple I.d.. if you download past purchases with your id you cannot automatically download past purchases with a different id for 90 days".
Two issues with this.. The first being that the songs it is saying this for were NEVER purchased from Itunes - they were ripped from c.d's onto my Itunes library (and have always played ok on my Iphone and Ipod shuffle). Secondly, I have only ever had/used one apple i.d for my computer, Iphone, Ipod shuffle and now this Ipad. The Ipad has been fine using my apple i.d for everything else.. ie, apps, Itunes store and also buying extra i.cloud storage, so I'm not sure why it is viewing it as a different i.d?
After looking on my Itunes account I noticed that under "manage devices" it is only showing my Iphone and computer as an associated device (I'm not too bothered that it doesn't show my Ipod shuffle because I only sync my music occasionally on that). Is this because it's second hand, and if so what can I do about it? Although I bought this primarily so I can view my pics and home vids on a larger screen than my phone, I don't want to worry about losing music from Itunes if it's viewing my Ipad as belonging to someone else, or an authorised device etc. By the way, the shop I bought the Ipad from is legit, they ask for proof of ownership before buying anything - this Ipad was one someone received free as part of a phone upgrade before selling it so it can't be an issue with being blocked etc.
Thanks - any help and/or advice on how I can sort this out would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for replying Ralph,,
I just tried that - still no difference. Ipad not showing up as an associated device on itunes, and on my Ipad when I try to turn automatic downloads on it comes up with the same message.. already associated with an apple ID.. 90 days etc etc.
It makes no sense as the extra icloud storage (and the money they've taken from me to pay for it) has been done using this ipad, my usual apple id and payment details and has been synced to my itunes account (which is associated with my id and authorised). If you have any other ideas (or alternatively know which dept I should contact in Apple) I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks :-)

HT204074 Can't find "manage devices" in itunes...

I want to remove a device from itunes. Apple says:
Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
However, I am just not able to find "Manage Devices" on the account info screen - what am I missing?

Not sure which instructions you followed so will give the following just in case. The following from Manage your auto-renewing subscriptions - Apple Support just worked for me with the minor differences of instead of the screen showing "Manage App Subscriptions" it shows a section titled "Subscriptions" in light gray and centered below that the word "Manage" in blue.
Use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to manage subscriptions
From the Home screen, tap App Store.
Tap Featured from the menu at the bottom.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap your Apple ID. If you don't see your Apple ID, tap Sign In and enter your information. Then tap your Apple ID.
Tap View Apple ID.
If prompted, enter your password and tap OK.
On the Account Settings screen, scroll down and tap Manage App Subscriptions.
Tap the subscription you want to manage, then choose a subscription category.
Use the options to manage your subscription. You can choose a different subscription period, or turn off Auto-Renewal.

Apps does not appear under devices in itunes., apps does not appear under devices in itunes.

I am trying to get my apps to appear under devices in itunes. They appear in the general library but not under devices.

When you turn on your iPad, you will not be able to see your apps under iTunes - though there is an iTunes Store, which is a different thing. Ito get your apps to appear in iTunes, open iTunes on your main computer and attach the sync cable. Both the general library and devices will appear.
When you disconnect the cable, you won't be able to see Devices.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
