Devices/USBDevice/Poperties/Sync/Sync Preferences

"Sync Preferences" window is missing, the window where I would select which music to copy to the external device is missing. 

Happens with all external devices.

calling this 'critical' is a bit much.
Comment 2 Jonathan Matthew 2015-06-29 11:18:43 UTC
fixed in commit 589a715.

you can apply this (and the following commit e02d268) manually without needing to recompile anything, if you like.

I'm new to this, so thanks for the heads up

I see that e02d268 has code which I suppose I should copay and paste to a fine in my computer. Since my expertise level with Linux is limited to downloading the latest version of Fedora and upgrading my existing setup, I have no idea how to do this. 
Any help will be much appreciated.
I used to sync all my music up via this tab and now the Sync Preferences section just disappeared.

This isn't usually a good idea, but you can apply the updated files to your rhythmbox install by running these commands in a terminal:

wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/plain/data/ui/media-player-properties.ui
wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/plain/data/ui/sync-state.ui
sudo mv media-player-properties.ui /usr/share/rhythmbox/
sudo mv sync-state.ui /usr/share/rhythmbox/

Doing this sort of thing can easily break parts of your system, so please be careful if you decide to do it.
