I have an iPod touch, 4G, and I haven't downloaded any songs in the last few months. Now, when I plug it in, the screen is missing the options on the left, such as where to sync the music, the name of the iPod, etc.

How can I download the new tunes?

Also, I noticed that when I used the YTD downloader it sends them to my music file but not as links, they are all black letters instead of blue to make them a link.

Any ideas?
