However, I do not see my iPod Classic show up when I connect it, which leads me to suspect this version of iTunes is too new.īefore I spend even more time tracking down and installing version 10.10.3 of OS X and/or an older version of iTunes compatible with Yosemite, I would like to know whether this is even doable on this machine. This comes included with iTunes 12.2.1.16. I've installed OS 10.10.5 using the installer proved by Apple in its How to get old versions of macOS documentation. Specifically, I plan to install it as a bootable partition on an external drive.Īccording to this OS compatibility chart, the oldest version of the OS that can be run on my laptop is OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. To avoid having to keep a decade+ old desktop computer set up in my house, I was hoping there might be an OS version compatible with my MacBook Pro that I could install that had a still-compatible version of iTunes.
My primary machine is a 2015 "Core i7" MacBook Pro (model MacBookPro11,4). Current versions of iTunes no longer support this device, so I'm using an older Mac to sync my music, using iTunes 10.5.2. I have an 6th generation iPod Classic (model MC297LL).
