My iPod Classic says to Use iTunes to Restore but whenever I plug in my iPod into my computer, iTunes doesn't detect it and while it's plugged in and not connecting, it just says "Do not Disconnect" with a 'no' sign blinking. PLEASE HELP!!

I've already tried putting it into Disk Mode but nothing happens. Tried restarting computer and a new USB cord but still not working!

PLEASE HELP!

iPod classic 160GB (Late 2009)

Already tried another USB port, still nothing.

I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.

It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.


Please help 😟
