1st gen iPod touch, how do i get apps?

i have a 1st generation ipod touch, the newest software it saysi can ave(when i checkfor updates there isn't any) but yet i still can't get apps. what should i do?

just a hunch: most apps require @ least iOS 2.x to run. depending on which version of iOS you have on your Touch, you might need to upgrade to iOS 3.1. see [_*Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052].

  • There is grayed out pixels on my 2nd gen iPod Touch, how do I get rid of them?

    There's these grayed out pixels on my 2nd gen iPod touch. I did not apply pressure, I woke up one night and it was like that. I don't know how to fix it. Can someone please tell me what the cause was, and how I would fix it?

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

  • New laptop, old iPod Touch, how do I get apps onto iTunes?

    Hi. I have recently bought a new laptop, and want to sync my apps in iTunes to my 9 month Touch, but when I select Sync, iTunes tells me; "+All existing applications and their data on the iPod <my ipod> will be replaced with applications from this iTunes library+".
    As this is a new iTunes install, won't it completely wipe all my apps? Short of hunting down all my apps in iTunes and re-purchasing them, how do I get to a point where I can sync apps?

    Don't sync your iPod until you have your purchases back onto the computer and your restored your library or you will lose the contents from it. iTunes will let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Purchased applications can also be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store

  • Installing old apps on 1st gen iPod touch

    Hi all!!
       Ok I have a 1st Gen iPod touch and I have 2 apps that were updated from iTunes but when updating it
    said that it couldn't update due to old system but the old apps stayed on my iPod but when I did a restore
    the apps are not on my iPod and it say that the apps are no longer compatible with my old iPod. I have checked
    in my Time Machine and I have the old apps vers that USED to work with my touch but when I did a restore via
    Time Machine it doesn't work (that way). Is there a way that I can restore those two apps with Time Machine so that
    I can make it work again for my touch??? They are still on my iTunes but under the new vers that will only
    work under IOS 4+. Any help would be welcomed!!!
    Serge

    How can I delete the new ones?? Even if I do, the iTunes site doesn't have the OLD vers that would still work with
    my iPod I do have'em on my TimeMachine but don't know how to restore them to make it work. I wish that iTunes
    would keep all generation of apps so if you need to restore you'll be able to get the old app back. I can't even use
    ebay app no more. So sad. Any way thanks for the help lllaass!!!

  • Out of date 1st Gen Ipod touch

    I have a 1st Gen Ipod touch, but i cant download apps because its software only goes to 3.1.3. Can it be updated past this or can I bring it in and get a new one being that I am a faithful customer?

    Sorry, no they will not replace it with a new one. You will need to sell the old iPod and purchase a new one.

  • Getting App off 1st Gen iPod touch to use on iPhone

    I have a 1st gen ipod touch with an app that is no longer available in the app store (the original EA SimCity).  I want to save it to my pc so i can put it on my iphone, but when I backup or sync my ipod touch, it doesn't backup the game. Any way I can get the game off the ipod onto my pc or into itunes?   I want to play the game i paid 5 bucks for, but EA cleverly obsoleted the game and re-released it under the same title with one tweak.

    Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computerIt is an all or no transfer. Then sync the app to the iPhone.
    If you also want the game status restored:
    - How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
    - Or backup the iPod to iTunes and restore the iPhone from that backup. All the apps have to be in the iTunes library since the backup does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • HT4623 i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do you update it??

    i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do i update it?

    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
    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

  • Bought 1st gen iPod touch on eBay but it's passworded, how to reset?

    Hey all,
    I bought a 1st gen iPod Touch 8gb on eBay and it is passworded, I can't do anything with it. The seller isn't responding to my questions. How do I get past the Password? If I restore it to 3.1.3, will that fix it?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, if you restore on a different computer that was never synced to the iPhone or iPod touch, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode but the data will not be present.

    So if I have a 1st or second gen ipod touch, where can I get old versions of apps that run on it?

    An iTunes library you previously downloaded those versions to, or a backup of that library.

  • 1st Gen iPod touch Keeps Having to Be Re-Registered with iTunes

    My 1st Gen. iPod touch works very well, with one exception. Every few weeks I'll turn it on and I'll get the picture of the cable and the iTunes icon - which is what you get the first time you use your iPod touch and means it needs to be registered with iTunes. This will happen both if I plug it in to my charger and when I just simply turn it on with the power button. I'll then take the touch to my computer and use my syn cable and plug it in. When the iTunes window comes up, on the left column it shows my touch, but the name I'd given it has gone back to the default name. I'll rename it again, but again within a week or two the same thing happens again. I'm stumped. I'm using an iMac running Leopard 10.5.6 and a white MacBook, also with 10.5.6. All my software on the touch, MacBook and iMac are up to date. I have very few apps on my touch and lots of room left on it to store stuff. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Hi Brenda,
    That screen, with the iTunes icon and the USB cable, means the iPod is in recovery mode.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 provides more information about the mode and how-to use it to restore your iPhone or iPod touch.
    Are you using any 3rd-party accessories with the iPod touch?
    Does the accessory have the Made for iPod logo?
    Try restoring the iPod again, setting it up as a new iPod, and testing it without any 3rd-party accessories.
    If the issue persists, the iPod may need hardware repair. Just make a reservation to have a Genius take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • Returning 1st gen ipod touch for 2nd gen?

    Does anyone know if I could return my 1st gen ipod touch for the 2nd gen or even give it to them and get money off the 2nd gen? I want to return my first gen because i have noticed that some of the apps that I want to download require a mic. If you no if i can trade mine in please respond. Thank you

    ... and the second generation Touch doesn't have a mic anyway. Chris will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe, if you want to use a mic-dependant App on a 2nd gen Touch, then you need to buy a headphone/mic combination to plug in instead of standard headphones. I don't know +at all+ about the 3rd gen.
    Non-mic Apps can run on a 1st gen Touch if you purchase the software upgrade, but whether that also includes mic-Apps, well, once again, I don't know. (Not much I do know really, is there? )
    Perhaps you need to consider how much you need mic dependant Apps before rushing into the major expense of a Touch which may not actually meet your needs. There's always the iPhone of course.
    Phil
    Ah, there you go, in this post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2322224&tstart=30 - sparky67 says the 3rd gen 32G and 64G Touch comes with a microphone/headphone combination.
