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.

    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.

    Sign in to what?  Where?
    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:

  • I have an iphone 4 and i have upgraded to ios 5. but after upgrading all my apps disappeared and in the summary tab in itunes it jus shows as other data..! please help

    i have an iphone 4 and i have upgraded to ios 5. but after upgrading all my apps disappeared and in the summary tab in itunes it jus shows as other data..! please help

    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.

    I'm trying to add my Christmas playlist to my iphone but can't find where I check which playlists to synch.  I don't like the new iTunes...
    I have the left hand summary tab but I no longer get access to the icons across the top where I used to choose what synchs and what doesn't - Apps, music, etc.  How do I get that back?

  • "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.

  • 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.

  • What is the summary tab?

    I just recieved a new iPod and I cannot remember what the summary tab is. If anyone knows, that would be a great help.

    It's the first of the iPod preference tabs. From there you can update the iPod's software, restore it to factory settings, change it's sync method to manual, enable it to sync selected items and enable the iPod for disk use. It also displays some information about the iPod such as it's name, capacity, software version etc. You can see an illustration of it here: iPod Summary Tab
    To access the Summary tab connect your iPod to your computer. When it appears in iTunes click on it's icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main window pane.

  • Connect the device to your computer. Open iTunes. Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list. Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos". Click Apply. but after that say's everything on my iPhone will be deleted

    Connect the device to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
    Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
    Click Apply.
    than it says it'ss erase my iphone and sync with itunes library.
    what should i do?

    It wil only erase the music and videos. Nothing else.

  • Where is the photo tab in itunes? it doesn't appear in the itunes sidebar

    where is the photo tab in itunes? it doesn't appear in the itunes sidebar, I am trying to remove photos from my ipad by restricting them from appearing after synch.

    cjmuth wrote:
    I was struggling with this too - but seem to have found the issue.  It appears the photo synch option in iTunes isn't available unless the photos are out of synch.
    This is incorrect.
    The Photos tab is always available when you have your iDevice connected.
    First open iPhoto, move the photos you want to get rid of to the trash, then close iPhoto.
    No one seems to want to delete the photos from iPhoto/computer.
    They just don’t want them to sync to the iPad.

  • If I am not seeing the summary tab in itunes, how do I find it?

    How do I find the summary tab in Itunes? 

    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.

  • I'm having problems with itunes. How do I get to the summary tab in itunes?

    I am having problems launching the itunes main page.  Itunes opens with music info.  I'm looking for summary & info tab.

    You need to plug in an iDevice to get the summary tab.  As the Summary tab pertains to the Device that is plugged in.
    With a device plugged in, you can click on it on the left side panel, or the Device button on the top right corner.
