Apple Ipod Classic 120gb User Manual

I think my question comes down to, 'how can I downgrade to the previous version of iTune?'

Here's the background...


After the bad idea of 'upgrading' to High Sierra, and working through an endless list of problems, I just ran into a new one. iTunes will no longer recognize my iPod. It's the Classic 160GB (the best iPod ever).


  1. Jun 07, 2012  Apple iPod Classic 160 GB Overview Video. In this video, we provide an overview of the 160GB iPod Classic from Apple. The simplicity of design.
  2. The controls on iPod classic are easy to find and use. Press any button to turn on iPod classic. The first time you turn on iPod classic, the language menu appears. Use the Click Wheel to scroll to your language, and then press the Center button to choose it. The main menu appears in your language.

Aug 15, 2014 I have an ipod Classic 6th Gen (120gb) and today tried syncing to itunes 12.0.1 after years of hassle free use. Itunes is now crashing, causing errors, partially syncing in both auto and manual transfer settings and is generally dysfunctional.

The iPod shows up in the System Report as a USB device. It also shows up on the desktop as a volume. Clearly the Mac recognizes it as an iPod and a working USB device.


iTunes refuses to show it in the list of devices.


In a chat with Apple support, I was told my iPod is no longer supported.


Looking in the Console, I found message from iTunes such as these. This seems to confirm that iTunes no longer recognizes or supports the iPod classic.
