What build of iTunes is installed? It seems the 12.11.3.17 build might cause issues for some users. Uninstalling and reinstalling the previous build may help. You can find links at the bottom of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - Apple Community, along with advice on uninstalling elsewhere in the user tip.

I have a Classic iPod 2006 and I have just synced and downloaded all my music from what was iTunes and is now called Music. I connected my iPod via a cable to my iMac and after a while, the window came up with all the options - Music, Photo's etc. I selected Music and chose to Sync and then pressed apply at the bottom of the screen. It took a while but I managed to download 35GB.


You may have done this already, if I'm teaching my Grandmother to suck an egg, apologies - at least you know it's possible.


Good luck,


Jane
