Why can't I update apps on my iPod touch 4G ios 6.1.6?

Every time I try to update an app a window pops up telling me unable to download. I can't download a new app either.

Look at the Requirements section for the app to determine if the update requires iOS 7 or later?

    Very vague.  Almost impossible to guess since you provide no info at all about your issue.

  • Why can't I get apps on my iPod touch

    Need help

    Need more information.
    What have you tried doing so far?
    Are the Apps in your iTunes Library?
    Have you Synced your ipod with your iTunes library?
    Is this all Apps, or just some of them?
    Are the Apps compatible with your iPod? (Is your iOS version at least as high as the iOS needed for the App?)
    Is your iTunes/iPod set to Sync the Apps? (With the iPod connected to iTunes, look on the Device/Apps and check the Sync options.)
    If the answer to any of the questions is "no", or you don't understand a question, please tell us which one(s).

  • Why can't I update apps directly on my iPad?

    Why can't I update apps directly on my iPad?

    If your iPad is 3G then I think Johnathan has answered the question - if the downloads were larger than 20MB. If the downloads were smaller than 20MB you can try restarting or resetting your iPad and see if that helps.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Why can't I stop and restart my ipod touch OS update?

    Why can't I stop and restart my ipod touch OS update?
    I'm working in West Africa, and iTunes says it will take between 8 and 11 hours to download the OS (5.0.1). But I never have that long a stretch of uninterrupted electricity or internet. Every blink off and I have to start again at zero. Bit torrents are already an old technology. What gives? Basically, I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO UPDATE MY IPOD. And probably not my macbook.

    Try a manual update as defined here:

  • As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

    As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

    Apps and many other purchases are tied to the iTunes Store account via which they were purchased. So if you buy the app, that app is tied to your iTunes Store account. Without that account information, the child could not update the app nor back it up.
    I'd also suggest giving the child an iTunes gift card or gift certificate along with the iPod. If the child is too young to have and manage his or her own iTunes Store account, then his or her parent could set up an iTunes Store account to purchase the apps. That could be done with that gift card and not need a credit card. You can also gift specific apps, though again that would require the child or a parent to open an iTunes Store account through which to redeem the gift. For more information on gift options, see:

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.alredy suggested

    I'm trying to update my 2nd generation ipod touch to ios 4.2.1 so I can get some games and stuff for my daughter. I saw on apple suppport that it was available in the itunes store, but cannot find it. Any ideas or help?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device.

  • Just updated my daughter's iPod touch to iOS 5.

    Just updated my daughter's iPod touch to iOS 5.  It wiped out all content on the iPod touch, and now I can't locate the "notes" to restore.  She spent all summer creating these notes, and is very upset.  I've tried iPhone Backup Extractor.  Any suggestions?

    Everything should have been backed up on the computer you restore it on. Plug it back in that computer, open iTunes, click on the iPod touch icon on the left frame of iTunes, hold your Control key down and select "Restore from Backup"
