Trying to change ownership of my old iPod. The advice here is to go to "Devices">"Summary">"Restore", but I find "Devices" does not offer "Restore" but only "Sync", "Transfer", "Backup", and a greyed "Restore from backup."

Wish it were that easy.

Do you see the screen shot I posted with the question? When I am in iTunes and click on Devices, I can see options pop up on a side menu.

But they don't include a way to click on the iPod by itself. Instead it says:

"Sync Frederica's iPod"

"Transfer purchases from Frederica's iPod"

__________________________________

"Backup"

and a greyed "Restore from backup."

There is no "Restore." There is not even a way to click on my iPod, apart from those choices.

Suggestions?

iTunes just downloaded today : 12.1.2.27

iOS on iPod : 6.1.6 --says it's up to date.

What I don't understand is that your iTunes looks different from mine--just a little bit. You have 3 circles, red, yellow, and green, in the upper right end of the top bar. INstead I have a square that is half gray. When I click it, I get a menu very similar to the menu under "File."

The only place I see an entry for "Devices" is under "File," but it only gives the 4 options I mentioned before (see below). There is no "Summary."

Here's another screen shot after I added an album to music. Now all the choices under "Devices" are grayed.
