iPod Error 1656

I have an old iPod that I use in my my car. I recently tried to sync it with my iMac (running Catalina) and I get an error message, 1656. The ipod cannot restore or reset at all. Is there anything I can do??? THANKS

Hi Momomoesh,

This error appears to be an Antivirus error. Do you by any chance have an antivirus software on your iMac? You may want to try turning that off for a little while. (See this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4905837)

Hope this helps,
