Hello shindeyo,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. For the error message you're seeing, we suggest to make sure that your computer is updated to the latest version, along with iTunes. This helps to provide software improvements.


In addition, if you have a third party security software installed, we suggest to temporarily remove it or turn it off and see if you can sync your iPod classic to iTunes. It's possible that a third party security software can prevent the sync process to complete.


Best regards.
