iPod Classic 2nd Generation 2003-2003

Hi Apple Community, I have an iPod 2nd generation 2002-2003, I haven't used in so long, but I decided to use it, I got a new battery. Now I have an iMac running High Sierra and iTunes 12.8.2.3, and using a firewire adapter from 400-800 port, when I plug in, the iPod charges but my computer does not recognize it at all, not even on disk utility.

I was thinking, maybe it was a window formatted version and back in there they shipped customized to Mac or Windows.

Any ideas on how to put the iPod on UDF ? or Do I need a windows PC ?

Which version of Mac OS X do I need or Windows XP?


Please HELP!!!!!!


Thanks mates.

Impressive, my old 30 pin and lightning ports are always collecting fluff. Do you have a known good cable that works with another device? Power and data probably run down separate wires. Mac is a better bet for any FireWire iPod.
