Is it possible that on iPod itself, there are some reference files which triggering iTunes to check upon connection process in order to validate something.Downgrading iTunes to something from 3 years ago i.e.

Newer iTunes version is the factor here.Windows 7 or 11 is not the factor here.May I sum up a bit (thanks to turingtest2 and Brocktoon623) Within 5-6 seconds after iPod plug-in, the iTunes keep disappear.

ITunes itself working fine as long as no iPod plug-in. I messed up with all the related drivers just to see if the outcome will be different. I spent the last 3 hours just trying to do what you recommend.

Which version is exactly the cut off support for iPod Classic on Windows?.

If there is no better solution, so what is the recommended version to use here?.

Some people also claim that, just install the older version of iTunes for your iPod Classic. I don't know why?Īfter dig down some reasearch, the internet said, Apple did not say that they has stop Windows from using iPod Classic at all.

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?
