Can not download any apps from app store with my first gen ipod touch

I am able to search for apps and maneuver around the app store, but i can't download anything. The button that says "FREE" or has the price of the app is unresponsive. There does not seem to be anything wrong with my screen since I'm able to use any apps I already have.
A google search turned up a couple of discussions from others that seem to indicate this is a recent issue.
I'm using a first gen ipod touch with the latest OS it can use.
Does anyone else have this problem?

For me the problem started on my IOS 3.1.3 Gen 1 iTouch sometime between my last purchase on 12/10 and a sync. So a sync didn't preceed it.   I discovered it when I tried to purchase an Audiobook. I can do podcasts, buy individual songs, but that's about it.  I can update apps so long as I do them all, although update has been like that for awhile. I can't buy apps (even free ones), audiobooks, or albums using the Touch directly.  I can't see many of the screen previews for apps and I can't review feedback on productcs either. I don't have any problems transfering purchases from my computer to my Touch using the iTunes app. I guess I eventually figured Apple might go here, but I sure haven't seen any announcement they were gong to do it now, so if it's intentional, it was sure done in an unfriednly way.  I'm a developer, so I understand having to move on, but my Gen 1 is no where near end of life, even if it can't run the latest IOS. I was an early adopter of the Touch, so I'm one of millions that helped IOS devices become popular.  I have newer IOS devices in the household under the same AppleID and another, and they work perfect.  But still use the Gen 1 daily. If this is the way going forward, I guess I'll have to buy on my computer or other devices and transfer to the Gen 1, but I'll sure miss being able to do it directly.  And I of course tried a factory reset and that didn't resolve it.  Given so many are having this issue, I'm pretty sure it's the older IOS or Gen 1 interacting with the Apple storefronts that's the issue. The question is, is it intentional by Apple, or Apple oversight with an update to the storefronts? If intential I can understand apps, but not sure about Music and Audiobooks other than possibly the older IOS is holding back new store features???

    Your phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
    It was apparently hacked to unlock it prior to your attempt to update. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier.
    Contact them and find out what their policy is.

  • I can't download any game from aap store

    I can't download any game from the aap store
    Always ask me to join by Apple ID then to method my payments after that I declined my credit card
    By the I use it since ago and to purchase from lot of website

    Check quitting App Store app from background and restarting it again.
    Also a quick sign-out and signing-in generally solves it.
    Alternatively, you could always check if the app downloads through iTunes on your computer.
    Hope it helps.

  • Can not download updates or from Play Store since 10.5.1.A.0.238 update

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help.
    Since updating my Xperia tablet to the latest version of Android, supplied by Sony, I'm unable to download from the Play Store or from within the Xperia Update app.
    I tried all sorts of suggestions, including clearing cache on the Play Store app, clearing date, uninstalling updates and reinstalling the Play Store update. Clearing the cache on the download manager.  
    I have also factory reset the device, which fixed it for 2 week's, but it's back to not downloading again (it's also very unresponsive).
    Looking for ideas, don't fancy factory resetting it every few weeks.
    Thanks.

    ok, it's seem to be a real bug with this version, i have install again the 8.2 version,
    and everything works again. So i keep this version, waiting the next update.
    all my music and all the playlists have been conserved following this instructions:
    1. Put Itunes 9 from "Applications" file, in the "Trash"
    2.Go "Library/Receipts/ItunesX.pkg" and put the "X.pkg..." from "Library" àto the trash.
    iTunes is now uninstalled, You can now install the 8.2 version or any other old version. But she will not able to read your musical library, cause it was created with the 9 version, so you"ll have to do this :
    3. Go in "Music" file and "Itunes" file
    4. just be sure that in "previous library" file, you have the last save of your Library (with the date)
    5. Go again in "Music/ Itunes". and put "library Xml" and "iTunes Library" into the trash.
    6. Copy the last Library save in "Previous Library" and paste it instead of the library you have just erase.
    7. Rename it "itunes library".
    8. You can now install your 8.2 version and listen your music and buy again on itunes store !

  • I can't download any music from itunes, says there is not enough memory to support the download

    I can not download any music from itunes, little box pops up and says there is not enough memeory to download?

    iCloud storage has absolutely nothing to do with local storage. You need to free up space on the iPad in order to download the movies. You can transfer some content into iTunes and then delete it from the iPad in order to make room on the device.
    Settings>General>Usage>Storage is where you delete content if you want to do it in there.

  • Problems with ios7; I can not download any new App

    In general, I feel the new ios7 makes my ipod 5 slow, it has had a couple of problems, most of them minor or have a simple solution, or can be ignored while they fix it... what I can not ignore is that I can not download ANY new App...
    I have been able to update a couple of them, though they have been very slow, now when I try to download something new, it seems like it'll work, but it never asks for my password as it used to and it never appears in the screen as downloading or anything. It is like if they'd just get stuck and waiting for it to react...
    ¿anyone else has had this problem? ¿advice? ¿solutions?

    Try opening the Terminal utility in your system and running the following command to open the system's caches folder:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Then locate and remove the folder called "com.apple.appstore" and then try relaunching the App Store and downloading the installer again.
