iPod Not Syncing/Restoring After Flash Mod? Here’s the Full Walkthrough for Apple Silicon Macs

This is the dance that I have to go through every time I flash mod one of these iPods. I have a 2020 MacBook Pro M1 Running Ventura, so hope this helps. It will work eventually, just have to be persistent. Let me know if I can help at all in the comments.
