Ipod classic no longer supported under new Itunes?

I have an older 160GB IPod classic which is only used in my Porsche as it syncs best with the sound system. After downloading the latest Itunes software onto my PC yesterday, I see that I can no longer autofill or otherwise navigate through my Ipod via Itunes. Itunes does recognize the device; but, only allows me to 'eject' it from an icon on the upper right hand side of the Itunes window. This is very frustrating and I don't know how to return to an older version of Itunes.
Any suggestions for me?
Michael

Another thread on this site has wondered if Apple is withdrawing support from older devices - it has happened in the past - and is very frustrating when you have something that still works and can't use it.
Don't get me started!
I had always assumed that when the iPod Classic was discontinued it would be replaced with something better. (256GB Flash and a Lightning connector.) I was wrong.
My problem is like many others, Apple makes NO portable device that will store my 150 GB of music.  (Their competition does.)  Even an iPhone 6 only has 128GB, Max.  So, what Apple could do in 2009, they CANNOT do in 2014.
Nicely express your concerns to Apple using the links below.  They will be read.

  • New Ipod Classic How to update to new Itunes with older Mac

    I have replaced Ipod Classic today, old one died. I have my library on Mac. New IPod needs itunes update and Mac OSX 10.5.8 can not support latest update. Classic needs update 9 or later.  How do I download an earlier Itunes to use new IPod?

    That iPod classic requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Mac OS X 10.6 DVDs are available on the online Apple Store; they require an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

  • IPod classic no longer being recognized by iTunes

    iPod classic version 2.0.4 is not showing up in my iTunes anymore. I can see it listed in my device manager under Other Devices as iPod with a yellow exclamation point, although I've followed the instructions in this article iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows and I get an error stating "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. The system cannot find the file specified."
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes already. I also have an iTouch 5th gen which is being recognized fine, the same iPod classic is being recognized on my laptop fine but my pc is what has all my music is.

    I am having the exact same problem.  My ipod has been stuck in disk mode for over two hours and now itunes is frozen.

  • IPod Classic album artwork gone in new iTunes display board as of 1 Dec 2012

    Now that I installed the new iTunes software and connect my iPod Classic the album artwork display in the bottom left corner has disappeared! There are other new features on this new iTunes layout that annoy me!
    Apple...please go back to your previous iTunes layout and get my album artwork back.
    My iPod is fine, there is nothing wrong with my iPod, just iTunes and their ridiculous change! I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes to no avail.
    And NO, I DO NOT use the apple iTunes store for anything, just use iTunes to connect to my iPod Classic, that's all, nothing further!
    So don't go trying to sell me something on the iTunes store! NOT INTERESTED!
    Why do you people tend to make things more difficult after I finally figured out your last iTunes layout?!
    Simple guy non-computer geek here, just your average all-American Joe!
    Can someone out there assist? Any way I can return to the previous version? This new version bites! Thanks much!

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600.
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

  • IPod Classic 160G not syncing with new iTunes

    Since upgrading to new  PC and iTunes version, my iPod is only syncing ~ 2/3 of my 6900+ songs. No error messages. Can't see what is driving what is and is not synced. Plenty of space left on the iPod, > 1/2 empty still. Never had this problem before. iTunes on the PC is working just fine. Tried checking the setting
    "Convert higher bit rate songs", tried manually checking all items to be synced,  but that did not work either. Any ideas?

    Same problem with a mac. My computer will recognize the iPod on the desktop and itunes even opens up when I plug it in, but the iPod doesn't appear on the iTunes menu and won't let me sync.

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

  • 3rd Generation ipod -computer wont support a newer itunes version.....
