iPod 3rd Gen Freezes High Sierra on Connection

When I connect my 3rd Gen iPod to my new iMac via a cable, the iMac immediately goes into a black screen and white letters appear that say, in effect, There is a problem.

I used to have no trouble connecting my 3rd Gen iPod to my iMac, and using iTunes to update its content.

Does high sierra no longer allow 3rd gen iPods to connect?

Thanks.

Mac

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

Why won't my ipod connect to my mac properly? Hi, A few days ago I bought a used iPod Classic 80GB, which I tried to factory reset. Everything went fine, but when I reconnected the iPod to the Mac, I couldn't manage the content on it: (sorry for the mistakes in the translation, but original version is in Polish and I had to translate it online) iPod and Macbook have the latest software. How can I get the iPod to connect to the mac correctly?

Incompatibility between Mac OS High Sierra and iTunes 12.01 on iPod Touch 6th gen. Hello everybody.Since I've updated my iMac (late 2012) to the latest version of High Sierra (10.13.6) with iTunes 12.8.0.150, my iPod Touch 6th gen. doesn’t show up in the Mac iTunes screen anymore, ie they don’t communicate one with the other. The iPod just doesn’t appear on the iTunes screen even if it is visible on System Report/Information.iPod works fine on my son’s MacBook Air with Mojave and on a different Mac with Sierra (NOT High Sierra).It works fine on Windows 10 PC as well.Cables are original and OK, USB ports as well.Different, old, iPods work fine.Went to an Apple Licensed Store in my country, they noticed the problem but had no useful answer, just gave me a free-toll number to call Apple directly and told me to wait for the next iTunes or High Sierra update, if there will be one.Has anybody noticed the same anomaly ?
