I can’t post in the iPod forum for some reason, so am asking here. If mods can move it, right on please do 
I replaced the hdd in my gen 3 iPod and realized quickly that all but one of my Mac’s that had FW400 had too-old iTunes versions and would not connect to Apple iPod servers to complete its restore. Is there a stand alone executable file that can be used to complete an old iPod restore?
FYI I successfully updated using my cMP 1,1 running El Cap but even that at some point will stop connecting as the interwebs march on.
