name column on iPad in iTunes will not adjust

The name column showing is quite truncated on the contents of the iPad on iTunes. The line to the right of NAME will not switch to the arrows so I can drag it to make it longer. Moving the name column to a different position also does not allow the column to be widened. How do I fix this?

Hi CBorJB,

Thanks for following up.

Thanks for confirming the version of iTunes installed on your Windows computer. If you are running Windows 7 or 8, that is the up to date version for your computer.


Since this is a fairly specific and unique issue, it would be best to start a direct support case with Apple Support. You can start a case at the link below.

Hi CBorJB,

Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities. Here to help.

We understand you're having some issues with viewing options on iTunes for Windows.

It sounds like you're having trouble with resizing functions, which isn't necessarily a feature of iTunes itself but is an operating system function. Does this work in other applications?


We'll provide the iTunes for Windows user guide below as it does provide alternative view options that you may find helpful.

Ultimately you may want to make sure you have installed all Windows Updates and have the latest version of iTunes installed as these steps may improve compatibility.


Hope this helps! Take care for now.

Computer is up to date. ITunes is up to date 12.10.11. Other columns adjust width just fine. The NAME column under library adjusts width just fine. The NAME column under DEVICES, My iPad is where the NAME COLUMN is extremely truncated and will NOT adjust width. The other columns next to it adjust fine. I tried moving the NAME COLUMN to a different position and then adjusting but it will not adjust. It used to adjust just fine but I’m not sure when it changed. Wondering if the last update has a bug?
