Why is track not compatile with iPod? Using CD source for music, this time "Puffin Billy", the Captain Kangaroo theme, is denied to be copied to iPod. True with iPod classics as well as iPod Touch. What is the problem, how do I fix?

iPod Classic won't sync with Ventura 13.0.1 Hi there, since I updated my MacBook Air to Ventura 13.0.1, my iPod Classic will no longer sync my library with Apple Music. I connect it, then when I click on it in Apple Music, it tells me "This iPod is open in another window" ... I then try again and can see the songs on my iPod, but trying to sync it just gives me a swirling icon that never progresses, even if I leave it for an hour. When I eventually yank my iPod (because it won't eject when this happens either), my files on the iPod are unchanged. I've tried resetting the iPod and the MacBook many times, but nothing is working. I have also tried different ports on the MacBook. Any suggestions on how I can fit this? I've got music from weeks ago that I haven't been able to add and listen to yet!

Does it show up in iTunes all all, or fail to sync? Check for fluff in the docking port. The port could be damaged, still allowing charging but not data transfer.
