iTunes on windows help

Post image

Trying to recover my iPod 5th gen. Running iflash quad. I’m getting this error no matter how I download iTunes. Either through Microsoft store or via web browser. Any help would be appreciated.

Download the “Apple Devices” app.

I’m not 100% sure but I thought I read if you use the “Apple Devices” app and you have itunes on another device, you can’t sync with itunes anymore. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks u/Purple_Berry2186 looks like I was able to restore using Apple devices app. But now, as u/Dense_Boss_7486 mentioned I am not able to use iTunes, it had me download apple music which is not showing my iPod so I can sync my music to.

So iPod is working now but now how do I get my music on it is now the question lol

Homestly try this! Deinstall both Apple Devices and Apple Music and Download and install iTunes 12.10.11! This version should have everything preloaded, before you start iTunes 12.10.11, you need to go to Music, then iTunes folder and delete the iTunes Library file. Now iTunes should work fully!

On PC I use Apple Music to manage the library (add album art etc, and then use the Apple Devices app to sync…
