I think I have some more information to add to this discussion. I helped him install iTunes in a virtual Windows 7 Pro SP1 OS in VirtualBox with the older version of iTunes (12.7) and that does work, but, it removes the stored music and videos (movies, TV shows, music videos, etc) since it's a different PC.Can someone guide me of how to get iTunes 12.8 to forcefully recognize the iPod Classic 80GB and iPad Mini 2013?OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 圆4 build 1803I have iTunes 12.7.2.58 on my main desktop running the same OS, and I don't want to hook up the iPod or iPad to the system since I don't want to erase the music off of my mom's and dad's iPod Classic 80GB, or the iPad Mini 2013.Also, first time on here, long time looking at this site for troubleshooting some hardware. I see no documentation of which devices are supported or not.
IPod Classic 6th Gen 80GB and iPad Mini 2013 not detected in iTunes 12.8 for Windows Apparently, my dad accidentally installed iTunes 12.8 on his computer and when he hooks up the iPod Classic 80GB, or the iPad Mini 2013, iTunes won't detect them any longer.
After all was ready, the exact same thing happened when i connect iPod classic with iTunes, the iTunes took 5 seconds to disappear from screen without any warning. On first connect with iTunes, it seemed there was no iPod driver or what so ever, The iTunes (12.12.2.2) itself popped up a screen saying something like "You want to download iPod Support or not"? It happened only one time so I did not remember the exact word. So, I create the dual boot on my computer to install Windows 11 just for the sake of my old good iPod Classic. After about 5 seconds, the iTunes disappear itself just like it was closed.Īt first, it happened with me in Windows 7, so I told myself, maybe Apple did end the support for the iPod Classic on newer version of iTunes (12.10.11.2), especially on Windows 7. However, upon opening iTunes, nothing freeze, just iTunes open up with blank initial start screen. It shows up in Explorer as an external drive. On Windows (which ever version), the Windows recognized iPod just fine. IPod classic works fine in Finder and Music. I had my iPod Video 5.5th generation 80GB of storage (later to be called iPod Classic). Does iPod Classic no longer works with iTunes for Windows?
