I've got it in the same place on the current version.

If you haven't got the sidebar, go to the view menu at the top of the screen and I think the option is "show sidebar".

Ok I will try it. I never use iTunes interface usually its only where I have been trying out recent issues that I noticed the changes.

In iTunes 11, if you don't' have the sidebar turned on, your device will show up at the top right; next to the iTunes Store/Library button. Once you select your device the options are close enough to iTunes 10 you should be able to find everything.

Personally, I stick to the USB sync/backup option on the computer for three reasons.

One, I live in a travel trailer, and the computer is never more than a few steps away.

Two, It's faster and more reliable (in my experience).

Three, I mostly rely on the iCloud sync/backups. I do one on the computer once a week or so, as a kind of secondary backup; in case the iCloud backup fails, or gets overwritten before I figure out something important was deleted.

I used to you iTunes all the time, but since apple no longer needed you to really connect to the PC to start the device up when you get it I just never bothered. I no longer have laptop but have access to my other halfs iMac, which is why I didn't have a clue. I did the correct thing and opened up as a new library buy alt and then clicking iTunes and connected and everything but when it opened it blagged my head as iTunes had changed since I had used it last lol

I needed the setting because I was trying to fix a home sharing wifi connection issues, which I ended up doing without messing with the setting I was looking for.

Thanks for the replies tho, those are most helpful for future reference :)
