How do I get the right operating system for iPod Touch 1st generation?

I have an iPod Touch 1st generation and am experiencing problems with most of the apps that I´ve downloaded. The error message is "Application not compatible - this application requires the iPhone 4.0 Software update". Can I upgrad the software on my iPod?

You 1G iPod can only go as far as iOS 3.1.3,  Sorry.  If you want 3.1.3 go here:

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • HT5624 I don't want Icloud.  I believe it drains the battery of my phone.  How do I get the old operating system back on my new iphone 4G?

    I just got a new upgrade iphone from a 3G to 4G.  My son updated the software with Icloud.  I do not like it, it drains my battery.  How do I get the old operating system back (without icloud).  Also, I don't know how to close an APP anymore and I think that could be draining my battery as well.  It doesn't work the same way when I doubled click and then touch the APP it doesn't give me a dash to close it up again.

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
    As for icloud, go to   Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.
    As for battery drain... 
    Look through this...

    Also, Settings>General>Background App Refresh:   turn off apps you don't want refreshing data - this can preserve battery life.
    Also try a reboot:  press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.

    Please can anyone tell me if Im following the correct and easiest way of being able to put some free games on the ipod touch and if I am, where/how do i update the touch so the App Store appears
    Many thanks in advance
    Best wishes

  • I have the Mac Os 10.4.11, and iTunes store will no longer come up on my screen to order tunes.  A download screen appears for the new iTunes. I can't download the new iTunes unless I get the new operating system for my mac.  Is there a way around this?

    I have an iMac with a 10.4.11 operating system.  When I click on iTunes Store, I no longer get the iTunes screen, instead, I get a new iTunes download screen.
    I can't download the new iTunes without upgrading my operating system.  Is there a way around this problem without buying the new operating system?
    I haven't been able to download songs for awhile now.

    which version of iTunes are you on ? if it's earlier than iTunes 9.2.1, get it here.

  • HT1420 How do I get the songs transfered from my IPOD touch that are on the player but the sync won't transfer?

    How do I transfer songs that are on my IPOD touch to my new PC? It only recognizes songs I purchased on itunes?

    That is correct.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only excetion is itunes purchases.
    The music came from your computer in the first place and should still be there and in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • How do I fix the connection issues on my iPod Touch 4th generation to connect to iMessage?

    I am getting very frustrated with this iPod Touch 4th generation. I have been using my 2nd generation iPod Touch to use iMessage to text people and use as a 'fake iPhone' because carrying around my cell phone and iPod is annoying.
    Basically, I have tried multiple times to change the DNS on every network to the google public server (8.8.8.8) and this does not work.
    I attempt to sign in to my Apple ID on iMessage and it says "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." Even though it claims I cannot connect to the internet, I can connect and browse on Safari and other Apps, but iMessage (also Facetime) will never connect or let me sign in. I continually receive that error message that I need to check my network connection. I just don't understand why. iMessage will work on my iPad 3rd gen and my iPod Touch 2nd gen, but not my iPod Touch 4th gen.
    I am using my college's WiFi network and it is hit and miss in my building, but both my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPad 3rd gen can receive iMessages and everything fine. I am starting to think that the 4th gen ipod touch just has a crappy wifi receiver or something.
    PLEASE help me fix this. I don't know what else to do.
    I just updated to iOS 6.1.2 and that did not fix it either.

    I know this question is no related directly to your topic, but I wanted to know how did you get imessage in ipod touch 2g. I have one but it doesn't have imessage. I will appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
