2.0 upgrade won't let me restore ipod touch app pack

I can't add back the iPod touch app pack after upgrading to 2.0. Is the app pack now incompatible with 2.0? When I try to open my backed up ipa file, it says "The application 'iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa' could not be added to your iTunes library because it is not a valid application." I also thought that maybe the free apps in the App Store has the same applications as what was in the app pack, but I couldn't find them. It would suck if I have to re-purchase!

Okay, it looks like the apps from the pack are part of the 2.0 update. So it makes sense that I don't need to install the app pack. It just threw me off for a minute since I was expecting to see the apps listed in the Applications section of iTunes.

  • "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" will not sync to iPod after restore

    Hi, new here.
    I'm using Windows, and have a need to reformat & reinstall every six months or so (I install & uninstall a lot of software; I'm a tester by profession). Now, I do not restore my iPod touch quite as often as I reformat, but when it can't be helped, like this other day when iTunes suddenly won't recognize my iPod touch when I connect it. The first time it happened, I was able to contact Apple Support by phone and they kindly re-posted the January Software Upgrade to my account by default, and I was able to re-download it (I also sent an email, hence I was re-sent the file a second time after that, which I have also re-downloaded since). I realized I might run into the same problem in the future, (and I've been doing a lot of reading around these forums) so I backed up the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file.
    Three months later (i.e., today) my iPod wonked out again, but I can't seem to re-sync the file I backed up to my freshly-restored, now-plain-vanilla, without the January Software Upgrade iPod touch. The steps I followed are as below:
    (1) Copied the backed up file to "C:\Users\RonMarc\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa"
    (2) Re-launched iTunes and made sure I'm logged in to iTunes with the account I used to purchase the upgrade
    (3) Restored the iPod touch (it automatically downloaded 1.1.4 (at the time I purchased the upgrade, it was 1.1.3; I have also tried shift+Restore and browsed to a IPSW file of the 1.1.3 version)
    (4) When prompted if I'd like to set up the iPod as a new iPod or if I wanted to restore a previously backed up copy, I opted to restore. I have also tried re-restoring it and doing it the other way, i.e., "set up as a new iPod"
    (5) Ejected the iPod, reconnected it and Synced. Still, no January Software Upgrade.
    I'd like to know if I missed out on any steps. Or if the "back up the IPA file" method works only under the Mac, as in here. The idea of
    Thanks in advance. My apologies for the long post as I'd like to provide as much detail. -Ron Marc

  • Restoring Ipod Touch Apps

    I recently had to restore my 2nd Gen (I think) ipod touch, which means I lost all my apps. Unfortunately, I had to have my laptop harddrive replaced a few months earlier, so had no backup. The support page here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 says I should go to the App Store on the device, tap Updates, then tap Purchased. There is no button for Purchased that I can see, it just tells me all my apps are up to date.
    Any help much appreciated

    Did you try this in iTunes your computer as well?

  • Mountain Lion upgrade won't let me open Microsoft Office app's.

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and now can't open any of my Microsoft Office applications.  Can anybody help me?

    Which versions of Office?  If you upgraded from Snow Leopard and you're on Office 2004, you're out of luck.  If you're on a newer version of Office you should be OK.

  • Restoring Apps after restoring iPod Touch

    I recently restored my wife's iPod Touch and when I hooked it back up to her laptop iTunes kept asking me to purchase the January update. I kept telling it no seeing as we had already purchased the update along with the apps back in January. I read on the forum how it should be restored using the computer that the Touch was first synched to. This solved the problem seeing as how I was using the newest laptop to do the restore. The problem is that her original laptop is close to failing which means at some point I won't be able to restore the apps if the need arises again. Is there some way to transfer the January update files and apps over to her new computer so that next time I should be able to do a restore without having to use the original laptop?

    The iPod touch January Software Upgrade can only be synced to iPod touch from the primary iTunes library. If the user is manually managing music and video on iPod, this is the computer where they first set up the iPod or first set it up after restoring the iPod. The "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file can be copied from the computer where you purchased it to your primary iTunes library computer, and sync the iPod from there.
    The file is located here:
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
    Windows XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Windows Vista:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
    Once you have copied the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file to the computer with your home library, make a new folder named Mobile Applications in the correct location, and place the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file there. Open iTunes and sync your iPod touch.

  • IPhone 4 won't download latest version of itunes or the OS or safari, and it won't let me restore without the latest version of itunes. Can you say circle??

    Help!
    I synced my iPhone 4, but it keeps getting the red exclamation points and an error message when I try to download the latest software. And, it won't let me restore the phone without the latest software. I'm stuck.
    Then, this morning, the phone locked up completely. I got it to turn off finally, by holding down the power button and home button at the same time for more than 10 seconds. But still no luck with the software download.
    It's Thanksgiving, and can't go to Apple.
    My phone is my only telephone (no home phone), and I use it to keep track of two email addresses (personal and work). So I'm anxious to have it fully operational.
    Suggestions? Thanks!!!

    one can't update itunes or safari seperate on the iphone those 2 are a part of the ios update
    you need to update your computer and then update your phone

  • Error 3194 won't let me restore iPhone 4

    The problem with this is that when I click on more info after iTunes says it won't let me restore...if I use terminal and try to edit the host file, there is no host file to edit. I get passed typing in my admin password and then it show the file: private/ect/hosts but that is it. There is literally no host file for me to even fix. This was all caused by me having just backed up my iphone 4 to my mac and then the cord was accidentally pulled out and it went into recovery mode. Tiny Umbrella, Recboot, and all other third party software does nothing to exit it from recovery mode. I just really need my phone back at this point and am hoping there is some way to get it out of recovery mode. If you guys have information for me or can help me with finding, creating, or going back to a factory host file, that would be AMAZING!
    Thanks,
    Maddy

    Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed on the computer?

  • I recently when to England.  When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network.  I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets.  I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything.  Help!

    I had "do not disturb" on in England. I did take it off airplane mode periodically, but I never actually used the network.  I stuck to local wifi to do brousing and a bit of messaging.  It periodically told me I was on an English network, but I didn't actually use it.  And I had data roaming shut off all together. 
    when I try to restore, I get this message:

  • My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. What can I do?

    My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. Usually I just restore my ipod and re-download everything, but thats time consuming, and after I unplug my ipod from the cord connected to my computer, I can replug it right after and this will pop up again. I'm getting tired of doing this.
    Like I said, it will let me download the apps off iTune, just when I come to my apps page on my ipod, it won't let me add it to my iPod. I can't download it straight from my ipod either, but iTunes doesn't work on my ipod, and when I update my apps, when they're in waiting they never move. What can I do?

    I would say that you are not connected to the iTunes library you last synced with. You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you connect the iPod to another computer/another iTunes library then you get what you see.
    You can only manually manage music and videos among different libraries, not apps.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
