Synch options not available in Finder for iPod Classic / Monterey
I was trying to update the libraries on my 80GB iPod Classic, and cannot. The only options available are "Check for Update" and "Restore iPod..."
- Check for Update: "This version of the iPod software (1.1.2) is the current version."
- Restore iPod...: I have tried this several times, including letting it run overnight (over 8 hours). It never stopped saying that it was still updating, BUT... I ejected the iPod using the Finder and it mounts successfully (I also ran First Aid in the Disk Utilitiy App.
In the Finder, the device is listed twice: once with the device name and an icon of a solid circle (turns to info icon on mouseover (circle with i)), and once as iPod. Clicking <iPod> brings up a finder window with folders (Calendars, Contacts, Notes, Recordings). Clicking <iPod name> brings up the Finder window with only two options (see attached image).
If I try to change the <iPod name> in the Finder window a dialog says "The selected device could not be found."
When I ran Restore iPod..., the music was deleted. Can I synch my iPod Classic, or is it now unusable? (It works fine!!)
