Unsupported 7th Generation Ipod all of a sudden not recognized in Itunes

My device is recognized by my computer, it shows up in my devices/printers, it exists in Apple Mobile Application but will not show up in Itunes. Latest Itunes, Latest IOS, restarted computer, restarted Itunes, and changed USB cables. Synced Ipod in Apple Mobile devices. Nothing worked. I did read that last year someone suggested you uninstall Itunes and then reinstall it? Yikes. Apple support of course would not help. I just wish I was more computer literate. There has to be a way around this, maybe a glitch. Or maybe this is Apple's way of forcing users to use Apple Music!
