You don't need to specifically add your iPod to a devices list.


Instead, to add music to an iPod Classic connect it to:

  • iTunes on a Windows PC
  • iTunes on an older Mac using OS Mojave (10:14) or earlier
  • Finder on a newer Mac using OS Catalina (10:15) or later


When using iTunes, you can add music that you have purchased and that is in your iTunes Library to the iPod by using the Sync function.

    1. Note that you cannot add music available to you via an Apple Music subscription to an iPod Classic
    2. Make sure that you do not install the following apps onto your computer (if you have installed them, uninstall them in order to be able to access your purchased music)
      • Apple Music (the app rather than the subscription service)
      • Apple Devices
      • Apple TV


When using Finder, go to the Finder / General menu and make sure that CDs, DVDs and iOS devices is ticked (checked). Only then will the iPod appear on the sidebar in Finder. I'm not familiar enough with Finder, but if you do need help with it, I'm sure someone here can provide it.

I apologize for adding to a different situation. I am new to this Community and this is the very first time I have ever been to a group chat. I did not know on the correct procedure to ask a question or how to properly address the group or my question.


I did not understand that I was adding to another different discussion which I thought was somewhat similar to my situation. I was desperate for help as I had my ipod for many decades and the thought of losing all of that music was terrible. I will do better in the future.


Thank you for responding to my question. I really do appreciate your help. I will follow your direction to recover my music library and prayerfully I will succeed.


Once again, thank you.
