They sell you a product and then down the road make it obsolete. I think and believe this could be all about getting or forcing customers to switch to Apple Music. NOTE: If there is a hardware problem on the iPod's hard drive, it is possible that the Restore will not succeed. This all happened in January and Apple knows of this problem and has known of it going back to iTunes 12 update last year but obviously is in no rush or hurry to fix or address this customer problem either. If iTunes picks it up, it may prompt you to do a Restore on the iPod with a message about 'recovery.' If you are OK with erasing the iPod, you can tell iTunes to proceeds with the Restore. She was very helpful as to my problem and frustration but basically offered no end game or solution to making my iPod Classic recognized or syncing ever again.

Months ago at the beginning of this year I actually spoke directly to someone at Apple about iPods and this problem and they went through many of the same troubleshooting thoughts without any success. Everything that has been stated in previous posts about the iPod Classic not recognized by iTunes and then going straight to disconnect happened to me basically it worked fine then it didn't. I've had the same problem since last year when I first updated new software for my Mac and iTunes.
