Q: iTunes 12.3 issue with iPod Touch
Since upgrading to iTunes 12.3 yesterday i have been unable to connect my 1st generation iPod touch to Itunes. Shortly before upgrading to 12.3 i had added new podcasts without issue using iTunes 12.2 and did not received any communication errors whatsoever, but as a soon as the upgrade to 12.3 was complete the ipod touch would not connect and gave me the error
iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch “Ipod” because an invalid response was received from the device.
Is this perhaps an issue with 12.3 and can i simply revert back to itunes 12.2 to regain my itunes functionality?

i fixed it.
on a mac
1. go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and download iPod touch 1G 3.1.3
2. get your itouch to go into restore mode doing that whole thing with the power/home button
3. hold the option key while clicking the restore button in iTunes and you'll get an option to choose the firmware for restoration
4. restore using the 3.1.3 and it worked for me
i didn't even know there was a 3.1.3 available because it never updated from my iTunes. hope this helps.
