Why wont my 1st generation ipod let me download some apps?

Please help!

1st generation ipod touch, 16GB

You can't. The 1G iPod can only go as far as iOS 3.1.3. There are not that many apps that are now compatible with the 1G.

  • Why wont my 2nd generation ipod touch turn on anymore ?

    why wont my 2nd generation ipod touch turn on ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1719 why doesnt my 1st generation ipod shuffle appear on my devices on itunes?

    Why doesnt my 1st generation ipod shuffle appear under my devices on itunes when i plug it in? i have windows 7. I got the ipod today from a friend with their music. i deleted their music and added my own to the folder it was in. but when i unplugged it i still had their music and none of mine.

    You need to restore the Shuffle in iTunes first. Then sync all of your music stored in iTunes over to it. Or is that what you did?

  • My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

    My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

    No, iTunes never says an iPhone is not authorized.
    This is occurring on a computer, correct?
    Is the computer authorized for the account the media or apps were acquired with?

  • 1st generation ipod won't download music

    My firend just bought a 1st generation ipod and was only able to download a couple songs. He asked me if I could try and download some of my music on it cause I have a 20GB ipod of my own that works perfectly fine. But when I plug it in it just sits there and wont respond while I watch the little spinning circle so then I cant use my mouse. I already had to shutdown my computer to get my itunes to start working again. I dont know what to do with it...help!

    This is the 1st gen iPod shuffle, that looks like a white USB flash drive, with a built-in USB plug?  FYI - This document shows the four shuffle models
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
    If it's a 1st (or 2nd) gen shuffle, select it in iTunes.  Toward the top of the iTunes window, there are two buttons that say Settings AND On This iPod.  The Settings screen is probably what you already used, "to set certain options."  Click on On This iPod.  This screen shows a list of songs that are currently on the shuffle, and you can use this screen to remove songs from the shuffle (and change song order), once you have songs on it.
    At the bottom of this screen, there are Autofill controls.  That is one way to load the shuffle.  You can "automatically fill" the shuffle from your iTunes music library, or from a playlist.
    To add individual songs, drag songs from your iTunes library and drop them on the shuffle.  The easiest way to do this is to use the iTunes sidebar (along left side of iTunes window).  If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  Find the shuffle in the sidebar, under the heading DEVICES.  From your iTunes library, drag songs (or other audio items) and drop them on the shuffle.

  • Why wont my 4th generation ipod touch charge using a wall or car adaptor.

    I recently received a brand new 8gb 4th generation ipod touch for christmas. It used to work fine and charge fine. Now it can only be charged in a computer. I have tried multiple adapters and charger cables and nothing works. It has nothing wrong with it other then this problem, no screen cracks, and everything else works fine. In comparison, my old 2nd generation ipod touch has a cracked screen and cant play music because the headphone jack is busted, and can still be charged just fine using a wall socket, car, or computer. I have restored it twice now to no avail. It is updated to most recent software as well. Please help me.

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod then it appears you have a hardware problem. Look carefully at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, broken or cracked plastic pieces.
    An appountment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store would be in order.

  • Can i update to a newer version of software i have 4.2.1 but it wont let me download some Apps as it requires a newer version

    Hi guys
    I CANNOT DOWNLOAD SOME OF THE APPS AS IT SAYS I NEED A NEWER SOFTWARE VERSION I HAVE 4.2.1 AT THE MOMENT AND I CANT SEEM TO DOWNLOAD A LOT OF APPS FOR MY SON ITS FRUSTRATING SO CAN I UPDATE TO A NEW VERSION?

    There are still lots of apps available for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier. The trick is finding them. Here are a few tips and sites which are frequently mentioned in the iPod Touch forum:
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Discussion post by msgarmar - technique to sort apps by date.
    iOS Search - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

  • Why wont my computer won't let me put my apps on my iphone? It states my computer is not authorized, even though when I clicked to authorize it it said it already was.

    Not to long ago my computer Hard Drive died, and I got a new one and set my computer up to run. I installed Itunes and recently got a update for my iPhone to 5.0. This took my Music and Apps off my phone. I put my Music back on the phone with no problem, but when I went to place the Apps back on my phone, It told me my computer was not athorized to put it on and told me how to athorize it. I went and athuroized it and it told me it was already athorized. So I went to try agian and still will not put the Apps on my phone. What do I do?

    Hey CarlyR_,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues related to iTunes Store authorization. The following resources may help to resolve these issues:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • Why do the new earphones not work with 1st Generation iPod touch?

    Does the 1st generation iPod touch not "recognise" [recognize if you are American] these functions? I am talking about the microphone and the button on the new earphones.

    Then why don't apple make ear phones with microphone which the 1st gen itouch will recognised...
    Because the Touch is primarily a music player, that is what I purchased and I'm quite satisfied with it as it is.
    I'm so fed up of the way Apple Market...
    What are their plans for their consumers... to
    to keep buying new Ipods?!?!?!
    Err...Yes! Welcome to the real world.
    3G Iphone was released shortly after the Iphone...
    why couldnt they make us wait longer...and get the 3G
    You still don't understand this commercial world do you?
    same with Ipod Touch... yes i Understand new Gen ipods...would have better features...
    Let's all wait a hundred years when they bring out the the brain implants...
    But hey wats up with making us fall with Apple...we like the designs, the features...but why then bring in new ones that apple know will not let our old ipods adapt to it.
    You like the design, you buy it, enjoy what you have and don't get so jealous.
    Sick of Apple... they do it on purpose... I guarantee...
    No way?!
    the new Iphone to realease next year....would be Iphone 8.0 mega pixels camera video recording....either way...they would make their customers regret for buying their old Iphones and Ipods...
    If so, then I might buy one, but then I wouldn't moan if a better one was released six months later.
    4 now, do something about the new ear head phones....cos apart of app store and applications...we want to be ablt to use microphones...to communicate on social networking...and voice memos...
    This maybe because the hardware is simply incompatible, they cannot cover every eventuality, had they done so the Touch would have been more expensive and I would not have bought one.
    Technology moves on, fact. I you don't feel Apple are playing fair then just avoid their products, that'll learn 'em.
    By the way, if you want Apple to hear your thoughts go here - [Feedback|http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html]
    They do not officially monitor this board.

  • 1st generation ipod. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk w/a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  Each time I plug it in it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer.

    I have a 1st generation ipod, which I love. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk with a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  When it finishes the scan it always checks out. I then restart it and all looks fine. Each time I plug it in to the computer it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer. The other strange thing is all of the songs are gone from the ipod but the disk space is still being used. When the ipod is not plugged into the computer everything look fine even the correct date shows up. Any ideas????? Thanks

    try reinstalling iTunes.

  • Why isn't the new iOS4 update compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch

    It makes me extremely angry that i have wanted what the new update contains ever since i got my ipod and now I can't have it because whoever made the update didn't make it compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch. Ig someone could give me a good reason as to why this happened that would be much appreciated.

    Doesn't have the needed hardware in particular not enough RAM.

  • I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. what do i need to do?

    Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
    Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
    Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps?  You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Why won't my 2010 MacBook Pro recognizing my 1st generation iPod Shuffle?

    My 2010 13" MacBook Pro does not recognize my 1st generation iPod Shuffle. Do I need software? Is there anywhere I can go to download it?

    Hi all -
    I cannot view my flash drive OR my office server, which I should be able to connect to via VPN. VPN was installed on my Macbook Pro at my office on Friday. It worked fine. Now I bring it home, and I connect using VPN, and it shows that I am connected, yet the server hard drive icon does not appear on my desktop (as it usually did) and I can't see how to access the server at work.
    I also cannot view flash drives when I plug them in - they just don't show up.
    I had Norton installed; I read online I should disable that. I did this, and no luck. I also have already done all the things suggested on this post and have all the boxes checked, and yet, still cannot use a flash drive or access my work server.
    I am stuck? Do I have to bring my Macbook pro in for service? I have NOT upgraded to Mavericks.
    Thanks for any help.
    I am not that well versed in finding my way around a Mac - so keep any explanations simple, please.

  • 1st generation ipod nano question

    Hey everyone,
    i have a what i believe is a 1st generation ipod nano ( it's blue )(??) and i had it connected with itunes on another laptop ( windows based ). That laptop died and i recently purchased a new MacBook. So i tried to connect my ipod to the Macbook today but i can't seem to get it to work, i have purcahsed a bunch of songs through itunes that are on the MacBook and i'd like to add them into my ipod.
    Is this possible? or because i used my ipod for an older computer am i not able to put the existing songs on my ipod into my MacBook and vice versa, MacBook songs onto the old ipod???
    Any help you can give would be great...
    Thanks!

    I have an actual 1st generation ipod and am having a similar problem. I had a windows based laptop, which my nano worked on. When I bought my iMac in December '07, I reformatted my ipod to use with my mac. After restoring my ipod, I added some songs and used it for a few days before I got a message telling me that I must restore my ipod. I don't know why the message appeared, but I connected my ipod and restored it again. After that, however, my Mac no longer recognized my ipod in Disk Utility, iTunes, or Finder. I've tried using other Macs, no luck, Windows computers (which actually recognize that something is connected, but it doesn't know what), but nothing seems to work. My ipod turns on fine, I can do everything except add/remove music. It will charge if I plug it in, the entire menu system works. I've done the all the tests in Diagnostic mode and everything seems to be fine, but it still doesn't work. >.<
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
