Q: iPod Nano and iTunes 11.4 won't work...
Greetings! I just purchased an iPod Nano 7 for myself as my iPod Touch 5 has died. I have had numerous trouble and confusion over trying to update my iTunes 11.4 from my MacBook Pro, which was fine with my iPod Touch, but now I need the newest iTunes for my iPod Nano. For days, I've tried uploading softwares like OS X Mountain Lion and OS X El Captain, but both take too long to download and most of the time I'm short on time due to work.
My question is has anyone else been able to get their iPod Nano to finally be recognized by iTunes 12, and if so how can I upgrade from 11.4 to 12?
Any suggestions and or tips or advice would be wonderful!:)
Thanks!!

An iPod nano does not run iOS. According to its tech specs page for the current iPod nano
https://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs/
System Requirements for a Mac says "OS X v10.7.5 or later, and iTunes 12.2 or later."
What version of OS X does your MacBook run currently? If it's Lion (10.7.5) or later, you should be able to update iTunes to a version that supports your iPod nano using Software Update.
