Q: Ipod Classic not recognizing Itunes library after 12.4.1.6 update
After (sigh, unwittingly and unwillingly) updating my Macbook Pro Itunes to 12.4.1.6, my Ipod Classic is acting like it doesn't recognize that the Macbook's Itunes is the parent library. I've made some additions to the Macbook Itunes' playlists, but my Ipod won't sync..... at least not without wanting to erase all current (gulp, 157gb's of data) and reimport the entire library again. Is there a way around this? I haven't had this issue- at least I don't remember having it- with prior Itunes updates, where the Ipod no longer recognizes the Macbook's Itunes as its home library. I've run a "verify disk" on both the Macbook and the Ipod, and they're both clean, no signs of corruption. FWIW, I'm running the laptop on Mavericks, OSX 10.9.5.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Hmm, I wonder if it isn't worth going through the motions anyway. If it makes no difference you can swap the library files around again. Is there anything on the device that isn't in your library? If so see Recover media from an iPod first. Then I think you'll have to bite the bullet and leave it syncing up overnight.
