Q: itunes 12.5.1.21

new iTunes is baffling me as to how to choose content to sync to phone. Everything is greyed out, i can only hit apply and sync. Any suggestions?

    Hi Miles17,
     

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
     

    It looks like you're trying to sync your iOS device with iTunes after an update. If you're syncing manually, you may need to use the steps in the following article to set up syncing again for the types of content, such as music, that you'd like to sync:

    I just made the horrible mistake of updating to iTunes 12.5.1.21. What a joke it is to call it an update when all it did is ,ake the simplest of things more confusing than ever!

     

    Right now, I'm trying to sync my iPod nano, but I'm completely lost because the idiots who designed this though it be a good idea to just make it so that we cannot adjust the width of the columns, selected to view the music in iPod by albums (where we get to the see cover of each album), and to top it all off I have no idea where the sync button is?!

     

     

    Well done Apple, well done. Been working at this for over an hour now. This would've taken 5-10 minutes before your stupid update!
