Tried today to update my classic ipod. Haven't done since was on OSX. plugged it in and got a do not disconnect. then froze. doesn't show in disc utility but it does in system info. now just a frozen lump.
I have os 12.0.1 and music 1.2.0.273
iPod with Video
It's not supposed to show in Disc Utility.
Look for it in Finder instead.

It's getting as far as knowing it's there since its showing it in the System Report. Why it's not showing up in Finder is a mystery.

hey phil
sorry for taking so long but had to run down iplod battery as frozen, then got busy.
after batt discharged plugged back in to power and seemed to work OK. did a hard reset to make sure starting from solid ground. reconnected to computer and lo-and-behold is in finder and is syncing right now and shows in 'music' Is syncing the entire library as I guessing now on music app instead of iTunes app.
has 11K songs to do so will take awhile.
will wait till back in business to post this
many thanks for all the help. much appreciated
went back to the classic after buying the ipod that looked like a iphone as just need a music player. one is connected to a bose wave radio in kitchen and other one is in workshop. also does duty in vehicle if goin on a trip.
I replaced the iPod drives w/SSD's so hopefully is bulletproof. Only concern is apple dropping support for these older models. (**** annoying) but then would have to try to install new music thru enable disc use feature hopefully
anyways, has finish restore w/all the music now, perfect
cheers and thnx

thank you for the timely reply
is not in finder, looked there first after didn't show up in music
And this: Try leaving your iPod plugged in and do a hard reset (hold down the middle and menu button while slowly counting to ten).
Glad it worked out.
new iMac will not recognize classic ipod
