HT1947 Remote app requirements are stated as "software version 3.1.3 or later". I am running 4.2.1 and when I try to download it says 4.3 required. Where can I get the (old) version that runs on my IOS?

'Remote' app requirements are stated as "software version 3.1.3 or later". I am running 4.2.1 and when I try to download it says 4.3 required.
OK, I understand that new versions make use of facilities that come with new versions of IOS, but there is/was a version that runs on 3.1.3 and therefore, I assume 4.2.1. Where can I get the (old) version that runs on my IOS?
The app store seems to ignore all legacy equipment owners, and want me to spend loadsa money to get the latest shiny toy. It probably makes business sense, but I dislike companies that take that approach. This is my first venture into smart phones, and I like the IOS interface, but I'm not sure I can afford the maintenance.

This is standard for Apple.  While there is little official mention of the software support lifespan for equipment, typical support has been about 4-5 years for computers.  It strikes me that newer items, especially mobile devices, are not built as sturdily nor do they have the hardware upgrade capabilities required to keep up with newer systems.  When we bought an iPhone 4S we were told by the person in the store we'd probably be looking at a newer model in two years.  The iPhone 3G could be anywhere from 2 to 4 years old, putting it well into.
As for app availability, Apple typically pulls old software versions from its site when new versions appear.  If it is a non-Apple app then I guess it is up to the vendor. It is indeed tiresome but it is not at all unusual.  Since I only ever run used Macs, I download current versions even though my computer won't run them, stick them on a hard drive, then I have them when I upgrade to a newer used computer.  If you run older equipment you have to learn a different mode of operation to exist with the Apple 'new and innovative' but 'forget about the old' philosophy.

    You can force 5.0 "compatibility" with the "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Compatibility Reporter]" extension, or with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility extensions.checkCompatibility] using about:addons.

    When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

    how can i get the old version of iTunes back

    You cannot unless you have a full TM or clone backup which you could use to erase your drive and reinstall the earlier version (that would be for your computer, not an iDevice).

  • I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back?

    I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back? It said my tool bars are not compatible. I want them back.

    That is the new appearance Firefox 4 and now Firefox 5, you can easily put things back because Firefox is customizable.
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

  • I bought an app and when I try to download it says I have already purchased and It will be downloaded with no charge

    I bought a app on the App Store and when I try to download it says "you have already purchased this all, it will download now with no additional charge"

    I had same problem. All that was next to app was the cloud icon (ie.not 'open') and  kept getting same message when trying to download. I found this fix on another discussion that worked wonderfully for me. The guy who found this deserves credit:
    1) Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store
    2) Click on your account ID in the upper left-hand side of the window and select account from the drop-down
    3) You may have to enter your password, but will then be shown the Account Information screen
    4) Look at the top of this screen for a section indicating you have a pending download and click download
    5) Either install via sync or on your device itself
    I just re-clicked on the cloud in the app-store on the device and it finally worked!  It must have been in some sort of app-limbo.

  • Ever since updating to 6.0, my internet crashes, my app store crashes, EVERYTHING crashes.  It's very annoying to say the least.  How can I get the old version back????

    I'm getting really annoyed that my iPod keeps crashing thanks to 6.0.  When is this going to get fixed or how can I get the previous version back??

    I had a iPod 4G and it suffered crashes after upgrading to iOS6, especially in the App Store and iTunes store. Safari often crashed as well, but it occurred same as before I upgraded.
    My iPod barely had any apps on it, having only 3GB used of 6.5GB available space (I had 8GB version).
    I got the new iPod Touch 5th generation a few days ago and it works perfectly. Never had a single crash running any app, game, or store.
    This has led me to believe that iOS6 was primiarily for the new line of devices and not really optimized for the previous generation. Thus, I think that iOS6 may be the last highest supported OS for the iPod-4 and the iPhone-4 and 4S and future operating systems will not be compatible with the previous generation. 

  • I downloaded 4.o and it booted 3.16. Now MAC OS can't open 4.0 and everything is gone. How can I get the old version back or get 4.9 to work. I run Imac 10.4.11. Thanks

  • How can I get the old version back, because this new is so poor, it doesn't work. My curcor doesn't appeart and can use secont tab.

    If I have one tab open and I try to open other, cursor doen't appeart. And If I open youtube I can't write for the search box.
    So I want the old version back, how can I get it.

    First you'll need to download the old version from here.
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Once you have chosen your language and operating system type then download it from the list on that page.
    Next you will have to uninstall the current version of Firefox by using the add/remove programs option under control panel. After the current Firefox has been removed you can then run the installer for the old version. Using this method will not save your bookmarks or any addon's/extensions so make sure you have a list of the addon's you want to get back and you can also backup your bookmarks from within your current version of Firefox prior to removing it.
    Do note that some extensions that you may have installed were installed by 3rd party programs and they will not be reinstalled until the program that installed them has been either updated or reinstalled as well.

  • Can i get the old version of iTunes back without deleting everytying?

    This new iTunes is the pits.  I want the old version back.  I deleted iTunes 11 and tried to reinstall an earlier version.  It gives me an error that my library cannot be recognized by an older version.  So...will i have to delete everything, libraries, etc. in order to get rid of this frankenstein monster and go back to a good version?  And if I do, I'd like to thank you in advance for the hours of work you will be creating for me. 

    Who ever said dont be rude I guess must be an apple fanboy.  Tell me why I have to buy iphone 5 to finally get 4g a technology that has been out for 2 to 3 years.  I am sick of apple and their overpriced items I dont know if you dont see all it is is software.  I really like the apps for games but my Galaxy 2 screen is almost bigger than my wifes iphone.  I am sorry they need to catch up with the times and leave itunes alone.  The new version is harder to use and harder to figure out what they did.  He has the right to be rude to apple, they are a company that doesnt care about their buyers because they know that people will line up to buy their ipad mini when you can buy a full size Ipad for 70 dollars more.  My wife just bought the ipad 4 and they didnt make that many changes to justify it just like they did with the 4s yet fanboys went beserk.  I think we ought to show them that unless they make the next iphone with a larger screen and the next ipad a little cheaper then we wont buy it. 
    I have all the components in my computer to match an IMAC yet need to buy their 2200$ computer to have their software legally.  Its all about money of course I get that but make something for a better price considering it is software leading not the components.  An alienware laptop runs less money than a stupid macbook that is wrong.  I hope apple reads this but they will have their fans that will line the streets for bad products.  They are behind in technology compared to android and pc.  The ipad mini should have been priced like everyone else at 199 not 329 but again fanboys lined the streets for it. 

  • I hate this new version of iTunes.  How can I get the old version back?

    Anybody have any ideas how I can get the old iTunes version back?  This new one is almost impossible to use, at least the way I use it.

    In the old version, when I logged in to the store, it automatically updated the podcasts to which I was subscribed.  The new format carries no dates and very little identification so that I know what I don't yet have when I go to a new podcast.  The music I searched for was sorely lacking; I know they have more Brubeck than what I found because I have done a similar search in the past and there were many more choices.  It's just a mess trying to find what I want.  I'm afraid to plug in the iPod for fear of this new program screwing up what I have.  I don't want to have to reload all my music and reorganize it.  It's good to know I'm not alone in my dissatisfaction.  And Apple makes it very difficult to give them direct feedback.  Most sites at least have a "Contact Us" option.  I've gotten a ton of email since I posted this afternoon.  Hope that wasn't a mistake. 

  • Can i get the old version back cause the new one sucks

    how do i get my old version back this new one sucks bad it keeps saying not responding and locks up i never had this problem till i upgraded

    I'm not having any problems so far, so it might be a problem with your computer, or perhaps something went wrong when you installed the update. Or there could be a conflict with your extensions, or you might just have too many extensions. There are several possibilities.
    Anyway, rolling back to a previous version is not recommended, and I've read that the only stable version other than 5 is 3.6.18. However, you can find all versions at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/. If you want to install an older version, another user named jscher2000 said:
    "First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. ...
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program."
    He was referring specifically to 3.6, but his advice should work for any version, I think. Including FF4. But again, rolling back isn't recommended.

  • I really don't like the new version of Firefox. Can I get the old version back while still getting the security upgrades?

    I dislike the appearance of Firefox 4.0 for Macs. Nothing about it is intuitive. Can download the old version and still get security upgrades?

    Firefox 3.6 is still supported but I don't know how long for.
