iPod Classic not recognised by iTunes - Can't sync.

I also took part in the beta program. Currently running 10.10.2 and my iPods aren't being recognized by iTunes, rather just an icon on my desktop. Did you reinstall Yosemite to an earlier version? If so, how?-thank you (also I have an open case with Apple about this issue)

I think I went into my account and downloaded Yosemite again. On my developer account.

Adyer you download Yosemite again, don't let your computer restart and install updates or you will be back right where you started.

Where can I download it again?

What's the point of installing the OLD version again? Apple needs to fix this. Doesn't matter what older version you revert too, you'll still need to update it. Unless you want to roll with a OS without critical updates or fixes that are needed for a secure OS.

Everyone needs to email Apple or open a support case.

I went to https://developer.apple.com/ and signed in. I have a developer account. I went to member center and then to Mac. I scrolled to Yosemite and downloaded it. There are two on that page. One is the original and one is the update. Get the original.

For those that are confused...

The 10.10.2 version isn't an "official" update, it's the Beta release of what will be the update at some point in the future. There are no critical updates or fixes inside this version of Yosemite. That was all done with the official 10.10.1 version, which is the one that myself and many others have reverted to.

If ANYONE has downloaded 10.10.2 it means you are part of the volunteer Beta test team that we all all signed up for prior to the release of Yosemite. You can opt out of receiving these Beta releases if you want. If you do consent to using the Beta version they warn you that you may experience system issue since we are all part of a team that has agreed to test an operating system that has been unused by more than a few hundred people.

We are here to expose flaws and issues with the software. This issue with the iPods is one of but a dozen I have come across until I reverted back to 10.10.1 since it was behaving too erratic. I use my computer for work and there were too many glitches for me to work effectively. I have done my duty and provided feedback in regards to these problems. Then I reinstalled the last official release from the App Store.

All we can do is wait for another Beta version to come around or an official 10.10.2 update that fixes the issue.

Hopefully sooner than later.

Thank you very much for the explanation! So if you download Yosemite from the App Store will you: 1) Have all your data erased 2) Have to set up your mac from new 3) Be opted out of the developer beta program -Thanks guys

Thanks for breaking it down hudson. Totally forgot about me being part of the beta program and hence the reason I have .2 installed instead of .1. Anyway, didn't quit the Beta program but stopped the Beta software updates.

If you go to the App store via the Applications folder you will be able to d/l 10.10.1.

It will not erase your data and you will not have to re-setup your Mac as new.

I'd still do a back-up just in case of a glitch. Which can always happen.

You can still be part of the Beta program but you can opt out of updates. I've still yet to be asked to install 10.10.2 since reverting back to .1 and that was 5 days ago.

Alrighty..downloading now

Thanks again

Hi All

I have the same issue, and was also a member of the Beta program, I will wait for a update to fix the issue. Do Apple have it in for us Classic owners :-( by no longer manufacturing them and now not being able to put any new music on them :-(

Update: After Updated to the version 10.10.2 (14C94b),My iPod works again .

Same. Did the new Beta update and the iPod is now showing.

Same here, Thanks Apple
