iPod iPod Nano (7th Gen) + 2006 pro

[hotrod351]

just bought a ipod 7th generation. problem is that my macbook pro is Snow Leopard, and because its, i think, 2007, early. i do have a Mac Pro desktop that i can use but would be nice to be able to use my macbook. is there a work around.

I'm confused - are you having issues because the Macbook is too old or too new? Have you tried updating iTunes itself?

 

[hotrod351]

yes ive tried updating itunes itself. software update says everything is up to date. but i need itunes 12. to be able sync with my new ipod nano 7th generation. i can only update my macbook to itunes 11.

so i bought a new 6th generation ipod nano. it will sync with itunes 11,and its smaller. i have 30 days to return the 7th generation ipod i bought,

Aww, that's lame. Sorry about that!

I know they are quite different iPods but the 6th generation is quite a nice one, I used to have a couple. Too bad it doesn't have bluetooth though...

That said, your Mac should be able to update to Lion, if not El Capitan, which does work with iTunes 12...

when i bought a 6th generation i remember asking the guy at the store if he was sure it was a ipod. well over the years my wife as gotten use to it and how it clips onto her when she is working out. she doesnt need, or care, about bluetooth. anyway i found one on ebay, new in the box, bought it.

Sorry about your seventh gen iPod, but congrats on your sixth gen! I have a 6th gen, and absolutely love the little thing.
