    Have PC with Win10. Itunes won't recognize ipod classic now. Has worked for years. Now I get msg that the software required for this ipod is not installed correctly. Repair ipod support using the apps and features page of windows settings app. Have tried all recommendations and it still isn't recognized. When I plug in ipod using USB, it says to eject before disconnecting.....I have updated all software and restarted ipod. Still nothing. Thanks.

    Itunes doesn't recognize my ipod

    My iTunes used to recognize my ipod, but it's not now.

    I get the following error: An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again.

    I have done this several times, but it's still not seeing it.

    I have also deleted and reinstalled iTunes on my computer. And restarted both devices.

    I also have plugged it into another computer with iTunes and that computer recognizes it. So it's not the iPod.

    About a month ago I did install Windows 10, so I don't know if that is affecting it.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!
