Where is the device button on the new version of itunes? When we connect our ipod touch -- it never appears.

Where is the "device" button in the new version of itunes?  Whenever we connect our ipod touch(es) -- 4th generation....a device button NEVER appears.  We can't "click and drag" new music purchases to our "device"  b/c our "device" never comes up.

  • Trouble getting iPod touch to show new version of iTunes when I connect to iMac

    When I connect our ipod touch, itunes message pulls up and says it cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.5 or later and to go to itunes to download.  I have done that and restarted all devices, but it still brings that message up everytime I plug it in.  What do I need to do?

    Thank you so much for your help!!!!   We are new to apple so trying to figure all this out just takes time.  I will restart the imac then try to connect.  Thanks again so much!!!

    There is no Info tab in Mavericks
    if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

  • When I connect my Ipod touch, the device dosent show up

    When I connect my Ipod touch to my computor. The Device from itunes dosn' t show up. So I cant really sync my music or other stuff that I want to put on my Ipod. Please help me!.

    Ok, there can be several reasons an iPod will do this:
    1.) The device may have a hardware issue, such as the 20-pin connector's connection to the logic board of the device is faulty, etc.
    2.) A software/firmware issue is restricting the device from connecting with the computer properly.
    Here are a few things to try:
    1.)
    1. Restart your computer
    2. Power off your device
    3. Plug in your device
    4.) Launch iTunes if it does not automatically launch
    if that does not work:
    2.)
    1. Keep your device plugged into your computer.
    2. Power off your device while it is connected.
    3. Disconnect your device
    4. Begin holding the home button of your device
    5. While holding the home button down, plug your device into your computer
    6. Continue holding the home button until iTunes pops up (if it takes more than, say, 1 minute, it is not working). iTunes will say it detected a device in recovery mode, and that you will need to reinstall your software. Do so by clicking the button 'Restore' under the picture of your device in iTunes (when you are on the page of  your device inside of iTunes).
    if that does not work:
    3.)
    1. Power on your device while connected to your computer
    2. Leave your device connected to your computer and power off your device by pressing the home and power buttons down
    3. After 10 seconds from the time you started holding the buttons, release the power button, but continue holding down the home button
    4. Stop holding the home button down once iTunes launches and says that your device is in recovery mode, then proceed to do a software restore by clicking on your device in iTunes, then clicking the button that says 'Restore'.

  • HT201593 The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why?

    The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.

    If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.

  • Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do.  It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

    Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do.  This device doesn't have a camera in it.  When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it.  I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all.  Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

  • The new version of iTunes does not recognize my Ipod-prior to this version, had no problem, Ipod showed up as list under the Imac library.  Now getting synch must erase setting! Help

    The new version of iTunes does not recognize my Ipod-prior to this version, had no problem, Ipod showed up as list under the Imac library.  Now getting synch must erase setting! Help

    well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine  so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

  • When I connect my iPod touch to my stereo, I cannot skip tracks using my iPod or the stereo controls.

  • When I connect my iPod touch to my computer, I have a list of Events on my iTunes/iPod/Photos. I want to erase these Events. However, the photos are NOT on my MacBook Air. When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod.

    When I connect my iPod touch to my computer, I have a list of Events on my iTunes-iPod-Photos. I want to erase these Events. However, the photos are NOT on my MacBook Air-iPhoto. When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod. And one last thing: When I connect the iPod and open iPhoto, iPhoto tries to load New Photos (I think), but nothing happens. Any ideas?

    Resolved.

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.
