That stopped updating with ios 4.2.1 currently almost every app requires ios 4.3or higher. what do i do with my iphone

i have problem with my iphone 3G that stopped updating with ios 4.2.1 currently almost every app requires ios 4.3or higher. what do i do with my iphone

App developers decide on what iOS versions to support with their apps. Also, Apple has identified certain updates that are necessary for particular applications. The only way to continue using certain apps on the iPhone 3G is to not update your apps if they require a higher iOS to operate. When you get ready to update an app, it will say what iOS is works on, and if it requires higher than the iOS you have, do not update. The only other alternative is to replace the device with a newer model.

  • Restored iPod to 4.2.1  Previously working apps now say "Update Required: This app requires IOS 4.3"

    I recently restored my iPod Touch because e-mail, contacts, and calendar stopped working.  Upon restore, I noticed many apps failed to reinstall.  Apps like Yelp, Facebook, etc.  Roughly 10-15 in total are missing entirely. I can select the app in iTunes and move the icon but the application will not install.  If I install the app from the iPod its self, an error comes up saying "Update Required: This app requires IOS 4.3".  IOS 4.3 is not available for my iPod.
    I don't care if I don't have the latest version on the App store, but I do want the latest version available for my device.
    How do I install the latest compatible version from the App store onto my iPod?
    (I also have a new iPad.  I think that had a part to play in replacing the compatible apps with incompatible ones.)

  • My ipod touch 1st gen keeps on saying when i come to download an app it says update required this app requires ios 4.3

    my ipod touch 1st gen keeps on saying when i come to download an app it says update required this app requires ios 4.3 please help

    Sorry, but there is nothing you can do other than buy a newer iPod. A 1st-generation iPod touch cannot run any version of iOS later than 3.1.3 and hence cannot run any app that requires a newer version.

  • IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, many apps require iOS 6.0 or later. also since updating to 5.1.1 safari frequently crashes.

    My IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, however many apps require iOS 6.0 or later what can I do?
    Also, since updating to 5.1.1 Safari frequently crashes.  Help!!!!!!

    5.1.1. is the end of the line for the original iPad. You can't go beyond that. As for the safari crashes, is it tied to specific websites? Have you tried clearing the cache and history?

    Guys, i am actually trying using a solution provided by the article shared by dominic23,
    It says "Another option is to get an ionizer to help the atmosphere in the workplace be more conductive and pull charges away from contact surfaces, including yourself."
    So in my home, we have such device that could clean the air using ion, and i am using it in my room...
    Result: BANG!!! The electric shock on my macbook has gone!! I don't really care about physics but somehow it works! You guys should give it a try.
    Thanks again dominic23

    thank you thank you for taking an interest. this is so frustrating.
    i only have apple keyboard, mighty mouse, and 20 inch cinema display connected. this morning took out memory and tried to boot up with individual pairs in the first bank. first the (2)256, the (2) 1g, and then the other (2) 1g modules. everytime I get the weird fuzzy wheel under the logo after a while, black screen flashes, then grey apple logo fuzzy screen then black forever.
    I ran tiger updates this morn. still will only boot to safe mode. then tried to run leopard disk to install it
    will not boot from leopard disk.
    tried safe boot, then doulble click install leopard, restart, then the saga repeats with the pixely red square around the wheel.
    these are fresh drives with only what came on instll disk loaded.
    thanks again for taking an interest.
    i love this system(well at least i did). I want to install leopard on my powerbook too but am terrified to do so right now since it is working and I have work to do. Can't afford to have no computer to do my work on...self employment is great?!
    This is making me crazy. I anxiously await your words of wisdom.

  • Is there going to be a new update for the iPad 1 because a lot of game requires iOS 6.0

    There has to be a new update for the iPad 1

    Probably not, except to fix security holes; any such updates will not allow the device to run applications which require iOS 6.

  • NONE of the web pages load properly. If I hit "Ctrl + F5" it will fix THAT PAGE ONLY. I have to do this to EVERY SINGLE page I try to load. This ONLY happens with FIREFOX. Internet Explorer works fine. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • HT204074 how do i download apps to my ipod touch when it says app requires ios 4.0

    howdo i download appsontomy ipod touch when it says apps require ios 4.0?

    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes if your model allows going to iOS 4
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher.

  • HT1222 i cant download facebook on my ipod touch it says this app requires iOS 4.3. how can i download this please? Many thanks

    I am trying to download various apps and games and I get the message "this app requires iOS 4.3".  Please can you tell me if I can get this on my ipod touch ? Many thanks

    Unless you have iOS 4.3+ on your iPod (your current version is shown in Settings > General > About > Version) then you won't be able to download and install that app.
    You can check if your iPod supports a higher version of iOS than you currently have by connecting it to computer's iTunes and selecting it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button. If it doesn't find any available updates then I assume that it's an older iPod and that it's on its version, so you won't be able to update it to iOS 4.3+ nor to download that app onto it.
    If it does find an available update then before you start the update first copy any purchases off the iPod to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off it as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update.
