When i open my itunes my screen doesn't have the list on the left side

Question

my itunes screen looks different   when plugging in my iphone I cannot find the list on the left side that shows my music, apps, etc
what changed and how do I get the screen to look like it used to
I cannot sync my apps or music  cannot find anywhere to do this
why did apple take that away or change the look without asking first?

It's just that you are a tad bit behind the times here, shouser. When iTunes 11 came out your issue came up many times a day for many weeks. The question was asked and answered time and time again. I'm sure that Apple is very clear on the response to that decision. I'm not saying that I liked it any better than you, but the discussion is SO over....
Take a look at "More Like This" just to the right of this discussion....
And, seriously? You are going to never get an Apple product again because of a software decision that you don't agree with, and because you don't think the solution is intuitive enough, even though it is a simple thing to rectify (once you have paid a little attention and read a little to find out how to get the sidebar to display)?
Well, if that one tiny little problem is enough to make you want to go to the dark side, then by all means, GO!
I'm sure that your new Android and PC will hold your hand with everything you need without any effort on your part....
