How do I update the list of devices associated with my apple id? Is this something that is supposed to happen automatically?
Yes, it happens automatically when you either add or remove a computer.

... and the same with iOS devices? I can't see my 'new' iPhone anywhere! I've just removed, my 'old' phone, maybe that will help?
Please explain more completely what you are trying to do. I took your use of "associate" as referring to "authorizing." I think you may mean something different.
Thanks for helping me out, Kappy. Much appreciated.
I was looking for authorized devices. I read this article Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support, but it seems I can only remove devices, not add them. How do I add new devices?
Only computers require authorization. New devices when used with an authorized computers are automatically considered authorized. You can authorize a maximum of 10 devices per computer and a maximum of 5 computers can be authorized.
Authorization and De-authorization
iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us. For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
Thanks a million, Kappy! Totally worked!
