I think my question comes down to, 'how can I downgrade to the previous version of iTune?'
Please check out my deviantART: Title: 'Special Op'Artist: Jim JohnstonDownload: (new link, 2017)Co. 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). The iPod shows up in the System Report as a USB device. It also shows up on the desktop as a volume.
- The macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Update;adds AirPlay 2 multiroom audio support for iTunes and improves the stability and security of your Mac. This update is recommended for all users. AirPlay 2 for iTunes 12.8.
- This webcam, located at about 8,000 feet in elevation, shows Half Dome and the surrounding high country. (View a key of the peaks.)You can help support this webcam and provide for the future of Yosemite by becoming a Friend of Yosemite today.
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).
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.
