Do older builds of itunes support ipod classic?

Okay, so I got it figured out. iTunes was just being tricky. The first time it asked to restore the iPod, iTunes froze on that screen. I'm pretty sure I hit the restore button, to no avail, and then the done button. Once it came out of the freeze, I guess it followed through with me pressing "done" but not restore. I plugged it in again and was able to successfully restore it this time, however it it kept starting up and shutting off afterwards. Wouldn't go past the Apple logo screen. This time I had to unplug it, close iTunes, reopen iTunes, and then plug the iPod back in, but it worked like a charm and we are now back in business! Thanks for the help though.

The iPod fires up fine. Once powered on it displays that screen saying it needs to be restored. I even hooked it up to iTunes and iTunes recognized that there was a device needing to be restored. I pressed the restore button and iTunes went back to library page without showing a device as being plugged in. Meanwhile, my ipod was flashing the do not disconnect scree, but the black and white one, not the one you usually see when syncing music.
