I cannot find my used 80 g iPod classic when I hook up to my MacBook Pro IOS15.3.1. Is this even possible?

iPod Nano - 7th generation - Mac OS Ventura no longer can connect With the latest 13.4 edition of Ventura, I can no longer connect my iPod Nano, 7th generation device. Plugging into my M2 2022 MacBook Air, the iPod is nowhere to be seen. It doesn't appear in the finder or in Disk Utility app. So forget trying to sync with my mac. Is my favorite music device no longer any good? Sorry, but I find using my iPhone or the iPod Touch way too large to take running, etc.

iPod classic 4 (Monochrome) not connecting over USB My iPod classic 4 can sync perfectly fine using firewire. However, when connected to my computer with usb, the iPod says "OK to disconnect" and my computer won't recognise it.

ipod classic 1st gen not recognized by M1 Macbook I'm trying to hook up my first Generation iPod classic to my new m1 MacBook Pro. I purchased the correct dongles (Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt to USB-C). Unfortunately my Mac won't recognise that something is plugged in, I checked the ports in system information and nothing shows up. I tried connecting the iPod with a second cable and even tried to hook it up to my older MacBook 2015 and my even older Macbook from 2010 yet on none of them the iPod shows up. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!
