Where is the summary tab? Please be very explicit

Where is the summary tab? Please be very explicit

Some of these smart arse answers ignore the fact that often there is no Device option in the sidebar or even a Summary button when a fault occurs.
It isn't a question of not being able to follow simple instructions, it's a design flaw. Having spent many years in the Windows world I came to Apple to get away from this sort of hassle. In every other respect it was the right decision and I'm now a huge fan but the syncing of devices remains poor.
I use an iPad and iMac, both with the latest software, but it's a recurring issue that iTunes suddenly stops recognising the iPad. Apple needs to address this because users don't want to have to become techies to go about day to day activities.
The original question here wasn't at all unreasonable but some of the responses are unhelpfull and arrogant.

    Have you plugged your iPhone into iTunes (version 11.0.2) on your computer?  Are you talking about iTunes on your computer (not your iPhone)?  You say "it provided me with all the iPhone apps."  What does that mean?  What does "it" mean?  Did you see these apps shown in iTunes on your computer?
    You say your iPhone is stating connect to iTunes.  Isn't it connected already?  If it is, you will need to do a recovery as explained here:

    Restore via recovery mode, by doing this you wont need the summary tab. Follow the link below to do this:

  • Where is the summary tab?

    B/c it isn't showing.
    And I can't find it anywhere on iTunes.
    Is this b/c my iPod isn't showing up on iTunes or my computer?
    Or is it a different problem?
    B/c I'm having both of those problems.
    IF anyone can please help.
    That would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The iPod Summary screen appears in iTunes when you click on your iPod under devices. When iTunes recognizes your iPod, the screen will appear.

    When I went to reload my phone it gave the option of restoring with icloud or itunes so i chose itunes (assuming icloud would have many more bugs). Afterwards, I had no music and 6.6g of other.
    What I did was go into itunes, clicked my iphone 4, and clicked on each of the top tabs (summery, info, apps, ringtones, music, etc.) and ensured I had them all clicked onto sync/selected playlist etc.As my phone restored, the 6.6g of other dropped to .99g of other.
    Unfortunately, all my songs are gone but everything else seems to be in tact. I don't think there is any way around this issue for now with the new ios 5 update when syncing either an ipad or iphone. I have an ipad 2 but am going to hold off on updating it until apple gets the bugs sorted out because, I'm sure you will agree, getting the music back to where you want it to be is a total nightmare and takes ages to not only pick the right songs and artists to put on it, but also the ones that will fit correctly with the space, depending on the size you have. 
    I hope that helps.

  • "Reset using the summary tab".....there IS no summary tab!!!

    iTunes keeps telling me to restore the settings on my iPod using the summary tab because it can't read my iPod. There IS no summary tab on my iTunes, and I DO have the latest version. Can someone please help?

    the "summary tab" (if you have the lastest version, itunes7) should come up automatically when you connect you ipod to to your computer. if it doesn't try this:
    connect you ipod to your computer
    if itunes deosn't auotmaticaly open up, open itunes
    click on your ipod's name next to the ipod icon
    a picture of your ipod should appaer with deatails next to it (the summary page)along with buttons like update and restore
    that should be it and i hope my advice wasn't confusing for you
    if you have problems getting your ipod to connect to your computer try reading some of the other topics in the forum for more info.

  • I dont understand "important printer set up instructions". Where is the device tab

    I dont understand value

    Hi Gopsill-Brown,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn where the Devices tab is to use your printer claim code.
    I have included a link to another post on where to find the Devices tab for a HP Connected account or an HP ePrintCenter account and it has screen shots.  If the printer code has expired by the time you find the devices tab, please reprint the web services information sheet. I have included the Getting the Printer Claim Code to walk you through reprinting the page if needed.
    If you are curious about why you have received this sheet, please refer to this post about HP Connected.
    Please let me know how it goes.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

  • "Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." What is this?

    I have been getting this error message since about the end of June when I updated to the latest version of iTunes. It's pretty annoying. Let me lay out how this has been happening for the past month, the best I can. I have a 32GB 4th gen iPod Touch
    I load content up to my iPod. Music, Apps, Videos, pictures, etc.
    My iPod works well for a little while, days sometimes a week is the longest I went without seeing this message.
    I connect iPod back to my laptop through the standard pack in Apple USB connector.
    I get the "Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." message. When I go to the preferences tab, I click restore and iTunes gets stuck trying to restore my iPod. Then I have to uplug my iPod. And Shutdown/Restart my PC reconnect my iPod, and go through the restore process again.
    I have been doing this for as I said, a month. It's getting pretty grueling to keep havomh putting cotent on my iPod after these restores.
    I've tried everything.
    I've stopped autosync, it still happens.
    I tried to reinstall iTunes(be it I didn't full uninstall before trying to install again and got the option to fix corrupted files and such
    I've deleted all old back up, and it still happens
    Today is the fist time I'm fully uninstalling iTunes, and then reinstalling to see if this works.
    But do you guys have any otehr solutions for this? As I said, this didn't start happening until I installed the lastest version of iTunes 10.6.3

    - Have you tried another cable?
    - Another USB port?
    - When you have the problem, connect it to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
    - Try just restoring the iPod to factory settings/new iPod. Do not restore from backup. If you still have the problem with this and all computer that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

  • The option to sync wirelessly is not showing up on the summary tab

    The option to sync wirelessly is not showing up on the summary tab when iphone is connected. Does anyone know why?

    Here is a simple example
    This square starts like this
    No normaly once selected like that when you "grab the corner" the scroll bar will come up and adjust dimensions of the entire square. But when I do it it only changes one side like this
    I want it to adjust all sizes like it used too without having to pull each individual corner to have a flat perspective.
