Q: ipod classic 160g not syncing with itunes 12.4

since downloading itunes 12.4, it has deleted all my songs off my ipod classic. i've tried to resync it, and though i have 905 songs back on the classic, it's nowhere near the amount of my total (12,000+ songs). every time i try to sync again, it always gets stuck on one song, displaying an "attempting to copy to the disk (insert ipod name) failed. the disk is not available" and a "so-and-so cannot be copied due to an unknown error message (-59)".

 

in the options menu of the summary tab, i have only these things ticked:

 

open itunes when this ipod is connected- checked

sync only checked songs and videos- unchecked

convert higher bit rate songs to ...... AAC- unchecked

manually manage music and videos- unchecked

enable disk use- checked

 

i'm not a technical person so have no idea what those other options are about. what is going on here? im getting real frustrated as this is the first time i've ever experienced this. i've reset my ipod, restarted my laptop, restored my ipod and tried to repair itunes, all to no avail

iPod classic
