1G Touch ..... all apps require iOS 4.0?!

Brought a spanking 1G iTouch from someone who only used a few times in the hope for giving to our son for Christmas. However, after restoring the software was shown 2.2.1. when trying to download Facebook and everything else I clicked on in the App Store, I was advised 'This app requires iOS4.0' ..... HELP!! Is there ANY way of upgrading the software past it's current version?

The 1G iPod can only go as far as iOS 3.1.3 and yu get that here.  It is a paid update.  You are right that many apps have bben revised so that theynow require iOS 4 or later.  You you want those apps you need a newer iPod

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • 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.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes if your model allows going to iOS 4

  • 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.

  • 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.)

    Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • HT4623 When i try to download apps this message comes up. This app is incompatible with this Ipod Touch, this app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. can i up grade my ipod to OpenGL ES 2.0, or do i have to buy a new one?

    Correct. That error indicates you have a 2G iPod. You say you have an 8 GB 3G iPod there is not such thing. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. You have a 2G iPod.

  • Various apps require iOS 3.2, but my 1st generarion touch says it is up-to-date with version 3.1.3

    Various apps, including Accounts and  Wolfram Alpha, say they are available for iPod touch, and apply to iOS 3.2. But I can't get 3.2 on my first generation touch: these statements of requirements and compatibility are now seriously misleading (and expensive).
    Is there a way round this?

    So the statements are not incorrect; those apps will not work on your model of iPod. They require a newer version of the iPod touch.

  • Problems with all apps in iOS 5.1

    I updated my software to iOS 5.1 but all the apps crash after 10 or 20 seconds from opened, including the default apps…all the apps has been purchase from Itunes store…What should i do? I already restore my Ipod 4G

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 4. After the 5.1 update, any and all apps began randomnly crashing and at any time. I don't normally post on forums but these crashes are bloody rediculous....Apple, I hope you read this. The previous iOS version had no problems. I've tried everything including a full phone restore.
    As far as I can tell, it's related to the phone talking to and/or looking for data (either over 3G or WiFi). If I turn off all cellular data and the WiFi, the crashes stop.
    It's a real pain day to day. For example, if I'm out for a walk, I need cellular data for the GPS app to work. But then some time into my walk, all running apps stop (including GPS and music). I've then lost my walking distance info. Even at home with just the music running, I've often had to restart the music app 5 times in 10 minutes.

  • HT4623 my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader it keeps on saying this app requires ios something.

    my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader or any thing like subway surfer games it keeps on saying something like this app needs ios something.

    Then your ipod would need ios something in order to use the apps.
    If your iphone is compatible then update the ios version.  Otherwise, you cannot use the apps.
