When going to the next iTunes update?

Screw the "how to write a good question", I'll be explicit enough here.

I have an iPhone with the latest firmware 6. I have an iPod nano 7th generation with the last update of the firmware. I also have iTunes version 12.3.3.17.

I've been using apple and iTunes for my music and it works well. The biggest advantage of the apple ecosystem is its General ease of use (at the expense of the power user who wishes to have more granularity and control more changes, but I digress).

Long story short, before I updated to iTunes 12.3.3.17, I could sync my iPhone 6 and my iPod nano 7th generation very well. After update iTunes 12.3.3.17, it will recognize that I'm trying to connect my iPod nano 7th generation, but you will encounter an error. iTunes 12.3.3.17 does not yet take into account that I connect any type of device when I try to connect my iPhone 6.

I tried the following:

(1) I checked the cable. I tried 2 usb cables of lightning. The two cables are fine. Connect to iTunes still does not work

(2) I tried all ports on my laptop. My USB ports are fine. Still doesn't connect to iTunes.

(3) I tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Still doesn't connect to iTunes.

(4) I tried to roll back to an older version. I encounter an error of the library where the old version of iTunes cannot read the new version of iTunes library.

No, restoring an older version of iTunes and follow the measures to ensure that the library is read isn't a real solution, it's a work around until the next update.

I'm not willing to mess around with the files, potentially lose my library and the money I've invested there.

I like iTunes because it is the online library of wide, I know where I can buy the music. I'm not in the trend of premium internet radio, where people subscribe to get full access to a huge library of songs. I am a young old school (going on 24 years) who prefers physically possess (or in the case of apple, license) copies of music that I like. I get many premium internet providers allowing you to download songs for offline listening, but it's only for as long you pay their subscription.

Apple is currently working for me because I have a "safe" online to buy and download songs, as well as synchronize with my devices in a simple and direct way. However, I am fiercely musical, and I know and understand the other side of the economy of music where people are downloading freeware music software to manage their libraries and/or download music from sites such as BandCamp and SoundCloud (in some cases, legally and for free).

I ask because I want to know when I can expect the next real solution to this problem. This isn't some minor, the issue of 'oh, we have abandoned in favor of this product'. Right now, I am unable to manage my Apple ecosystem because of this blunder. And I searched through the forums and the "solutions" that have been given have been workarounds for this problem.

When can I expect the next version of iTunes to spread and apple knows about this question and to devote resources to solve? This isn't a race of the issue of the factory, is a huge blunder, and I read support wires that date back to when the first version was released in March. We will get a solution soon? or will we have to wait for the next stable release?

In response to the question in your subject line, only Apple knows when they will release the next version of iTunes. Until they announce, nobody here can answer your question.

Good luck.
