I am unable to update or synch my classic old and beautiful Ipod. Any ideas how I might go about this please?

Hi.......please help an oldie yet goodie 🙂

I am unable to update or synch my classic old and beautiful Ipod

The unit does not have blue tooth. I was using it quite happily on my old computer with windows XP. Since then I have gone up several versions of software on my computers, changed computers even. Then it occurred to me I ought to be looking at backing up and updating the Ipod itself. Because most of the time it sits in a speaker cradle and has 1812 tunes on it I haven't really done much other than play it. Now of course I cannot connect it to a computer to update it at all.....the computer simply does not recognise it 😟

Details are


Software Version 1.2.1

Model P9830B

Capacity 60 GB of which only 44.2 is utilised.


Any ideas of how I can move forward greatly appreciated

Thank you

See Corrupt iPod classic.


Is your current computer running Mac or Windows, and what version of the operating system? On Windows certain anti-virus and firewall products may prevent iTunes from communicating with the device, or you could have a faulty cable, or fluff in the docking port. It is probably running the current firmware. iTunes doesn't back up non-iOS devices but if there is media on the device which isn't in your library, and you can establish content, then there is a data recovery tip included in the linked post.
