iPod nano and Catalina

I have an iPod nano and a MacBook with Catalina. After connecting the ipod and entering the Finder, I can't sync anything. After selecting, for example, "Sync Audiobooks", the "apply" button is inactive. Besides, in "general" the software info keeps loading and doesn't show up.

iPod Nano (6th Gen) not synchronising I can connect my iPod Nano (6th Gen) via USB, it is recognised, pops up in Finder and the home screen, then drops immediately leaving the entry in Finder attempting to load data. Have reset the iPod, and Mac which is running macOS Catalina, 10.15.4. Effect is that none of the media on the iPod is changed. Any attempt to restore the iPod fails in a similar way, dialogue opens, I select restore, the dialog reflects this and then the iPod disconnects.

iPod Classic not syncing with Audiobooks on Catalina... Ever since Catalina was introduced with the new entertainment apps, I have been unable to sync any of my purchased audiobooks with my iPod Classic--they have disappeared from the iPod, even though I have it set to sync with all audiobooks. Is there a setting I am missing? Is there a fix? Please advise...

Any suggestions on a problem getting an old ipod classic to sync? Nothing appears when it is plugged into my iMac. My ipod classic will not open on my iMac. Tried Apple tech and troubleshooting. Has been working fine for many years. Just need to sync some new podcasts and songs. Any suggestions? Have a genius bar appointment for Monday but would love to solve it sooner.

Hello,

Try updating to macOS 10.15.6 to see if it resolves your problem.
