iPod Classic 160GB suddenly crashing iTunes
So I've been using my 160GB iPod Classic for the past few years without any hitches or hang-ups. I don't often update my system- I had been using Maverick, but everything was getting slow so I made the update to Sierra. Before I updated, my iPod was still synching up fine, I was adding some CDs from my collection and put a ton of new music on it. Then I added a few more CDs later in the week and went to synch, and every time I plugged the iPod into iTunes, it froze and would become unresponsive. So I figured I needed to update and with my then-current system that wasn't possible. So I upgraded to Sierra, but my iPod is still crashing iTunes and is unable to synch. Is Apple forcing me to buy a new iPod now? I think this is unfair, considering my iPod Classic remains reliable and has the amount of storage space available for my vast music collection. If my iPod is no longer supported, are there any current iPods that have the same amount of storage space for my content? Or is there any way to revert to an earlier iTunes that would support my iPod? It's a frustrating situation, I just want to simply synch my iPod and keep living my life. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
