I found my brothers old iPod (from around 2007) and plugged it. The screen displays the iTunes logo with a wire, to connect it to iTunes. The iTunes logo is the old blue one. How can I get onto the iPod without completely wiping it?
my brother passed away so I’d really like to restore it without having to completely wipe it!
Sorry for your loss. You can use the current version of iTunes, but no matter what you do, you will lose everything that is on the iPod. See: If you forgot your iPod touch passcode - Apple Support

Sorry you don't, ipod is in recovery mode, plug to itunes and restore.
Thank you!
im sure ive tried to get onto it in the past. will this work considering it’s that old? its the version without the camera 😅
because I’ve tried to do the same with my iPod shuffle, it’s from around the same time, the rectangle one not the square one, and wouldn’t work with the version of iTunes I had at the time
Would I require the old version of iTunes in that case? Or can I use the current one?
Yes, it should work.
I have tried connecting it and it doesn’t detect it or anything at all?
Old iPod connect to iTunes
