Where is my sidebar in itunes 12.0.1.26?

So, just updated to the newest version. Once I got it pointed at the correct location for my files, I noticed that I can no longer see the sidebar. I looked through all of the preferences and menu options and it's not there.
Is there any way to get this feature back? I'm not interested in the "new" views and certainly don't find them appealing in any way/shape/form. I prefer to keep my system "sane" and the same all of the time.
Hope some one can point me to a "hidden" option to get this turned back on again.
Thanks,
Pete

Also having sidebar issues.
I clicked on the update for my HP printer, but then iTunes also updated. Oh Crap.
I'm in the middle of ripping my large collection of CDs to a 1T drive. On previous versions I used to make a playlist, insert a disc, select all (or some), and drag to that playlist. Why? In album view, iTunes lists all "albums" even if I've only downloaded or ripped one song from an album; a playlist per album lets me search for real albums. Also, I might drag a partial group of songs so as not to download a song I didn't like.
Can't do any of this anymore because CDs are not listed in the sidebar. Now I have to import the whole CD, import the entire CD, select it and drag it to the playlist. I tried selecting just the songs I want to import in the new version—nope. Now I have to go back in and delete the ones I don't want. Seriously? Further, when importing, I need select the import setting each time instead of just setting it to AIFF once as a preference and forgetting about it. Oh goody, one more mouse click; just what I was hoping for.
I didn't ask to update; I only wanted to update printer software. The update adds (several) steps to my process. The sidebar is less useful. The program is less flexible. I even keep looking for a blue icon and now it's red—I'll get over it, but what was the point of that change? What was the point of ANY of these changes? Apple employees may find it fascinating to screw around with their products all day; I just want to get something done. If it ain't broke, don't "fix it".
"This update includes many design and performance improvements that makes iTunes easier and more enjoyable to use." No, not really . . .

Where is the genius sidebar in Itunes 11?

UPDATE:
I need to add somthing to keep some from getting confused:
1. Open the sidebar.
2. Click on "Music" at the top of the list.
3. Click on any Artist in your list
4. Click the Artists button in the top middle.
5. Click "In The Store" on the top right.
Now you get recommendations similar to this artist.
If you are in your music list click the little arrow and "show in itunes store" for recommendations

Where is the Genius Sidebar on itunes 11 ?

Where is the Genius Sidebar on itunes 11 ???? Don't tell me that they have remove this wonderful feature ?....

I looked under file but I couldn't find the "Genius & Playlist" option. I also looked under the other options on the top left side but I couldn't find it there either. And all "Genius suggestions" does for me is show similar songs already purchased in my library. It doesn't show me anything new that I haven't purchased.

Where is sidebar in iTunes

I used to have a sidebar in iTunes but it has disappeared. Now I have a drop down menu that shows different libraries. I am trying to sync photos to my iPad and have no option for photos or syncing. Also, I don't see a way to find out what version of iTunes I am using although I am sure it is up to date.
Am using Windows 7
Thanks for your help

It's gone from the sidebar, but now lives in the top of the Music window, conveniently next to Match.

That's not how to do it. You don't move stuff then set the iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Once you move the /iTunes/ folder, hold Option, launch iTunes and select Choose library... and select the ITunes folder on the external.
This will use the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder you moved.
Don't change iTunes prefs > Advanced.

Where is file sharing in iTunes 12?

Where is file sharing in iTunes 12? I used to click on the iPhone or iPad device, then select the 'apps' tab and then file sharing apps like VLC would show at the bottom. Now clicking on the device doesn't do anything.

OK, I found it. In the upper left under the menu bar are some icons. Click on the iPhone icon, then select your device, iPad, iPhone, whatever. In the far left column that appears under your device, select apps. Then you'll see apps to the right of that column. Scroll down to the bottom and you'll find the file sharing apps.

Where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had this issue or not: Does anyone else feel like, after searching for specific songs, there's just little to nothing in the database? I feel like most of my searches are pointless because iTunes has either no data of my requested search and/or only has bits and pieces of it.
Another question I have: After having a slightly successful search, why am I left with low quality tunes? I mean, you can hear the compression... badly. (I know it's not my speakers)
Last question: If I'm paying for the song, shouldn't I be allowed to download a universal file? iTunes uses a unique format that no other application uses. In other words, more money has to be spend for m4a to mp3 converters (unless you're a cracker [not a racial comment]).
To me, I value iTunes and its team, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand there are contracts involved with the artists and it's hard to please ALL of the subscribers. But seriously, where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?
Custom Windows XP Pro Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

Today I thought of finally putting lyrics on my songs. So I've been quite some time busy doing that, then I tried it on my iPad (2) and I can't find them. Just as the people above say. Then I went to search where I can find them and I found this page. I'm really dissapointed and I don't understand how something like this could happen. So I hope Apple will fix this soon.
(I'm just posting this so that Apple will do something about it)

As you didn't say what kind of computer, what operating system, or what version of iTunes it is very hard to give any meaningful advice. You might start with these:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Genius Sidebar in iTunes 10

What the **** happened to the Genius Sidebar in iTunes 10?
Does anybody know if this feature returns or not?
I don't really like the Ping Sidebar, I barely use it.

It was replaced by the Ping sidebar. Whether Apple will ever go back to offering the Genius sidebar in some fashion no one here can say. You can comment to Apple on the matter via the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

I'm running windows XP and seem to have found a partial solution that does not involve vague half assed directions =P
Open iTunes, go to file, import, and select the latest "Temp" file, I got most of my playlists and songs back that way.
Edit: This file is in the \My Documents\My Music\iTunes folder
