Your iPod classic won’t sync with CopyTrans Manager? The problem seems to have affected old iPod like iPod nano and iPod classic. As a result, users make changes to their iPods and they’re not reflected on their devices. This guide offers a walk-through of the steps that help CopyTrans Manager to recognize and manage your iPod all over again.
iPod won’t sync
Let’s break down why this issue may have occurred with your iPod in the first place. The old iPod doesn’t have iOS drivers like iPhone, it contains an Apple iPod USB driver instead.
We first noticed that the issue has arisen after one of the recent Windows Updates that failed to upload the Apple iPod USB driver to users’ PCs.
However, we have a solution so you can transfer music from your PC to your iPod all over again!
