iPod nano 3rd gen will not connect after update to OS X Yosemite
My iPod nano 3rd gen has worked perfectly until now, but after my upgrade to OS X Yosemite, it is not recognized by either the OS or iTunes. The iPod interface on the device remains active and does not indicate that it is connected to a power supply. My iTunes version is 12.0.1.26 and there are no updates available to the OS or to iTunes at this time.
I have tried the following steps repeatedly
-reset the iPod
-restarted the computer
-toggled the Hold button on the iPod
-reset settings on the iPod
-use another USB port
-use another cable (the original cable and port were syncing perfectly with my iPod shuffle)
I am convinced this is a Yosemite problem. It is especially annoying to me that I cannot contact support directly for this issue without a fee, as I am confident this is related to the OS update and not a user error or hardware malfunction issue.
