3G apps not installing and software update?

I have an Iphone 3G running IOS 4.2.1. i try to sync apps, like youtube, netflix, angry birds and it says it cant install. need newer version of software. but when I check for updates, it says the software is up to date. Can I really not download any apps?

No, most apps developers target a newer IOS version.
Your iPhone 3G IOS 4.2.1 is the latest and greatest, there's no more updates for this iPhone.
I'm afraid you have to buy a newer iPhone if you want to update your apps.

  • Can't connect to the App store, iTunes and software update with MBP 13

    Hi,
    I have a MBP 13 from 2011 and I have a really annoying problem with connecting it to the App Store, iTunes and the software update. It claims that I have no internet/wifi/network, although I clearly have it since I am watching series through Netflix and are on Facebook at the same time. So naturally I started to look in to the firewall and it works fine, since it does not and has never blocked any other Apple products/programs. So I continued looking everywhere in the computer, found nothing. And finally I decided to re-install the MBP and I still cannot connect to neither of these programs.
    I feel that it is really unnecessary to hand the MBP in for service for a problem like this, so I was wondering if there is someone out there who has a solution to this problem? Beacue , as I mentioned earlier, my internet/wifi is working perfectly with everything else, so I really do not understand why App Store, iTunes and the software update does not work.

    Hello there, Victoria Nisoho.
    The following Knowledge Base article should be of use for your issue:

  • Some Of My Apps Like AppStore and Software Update won't open on my MacBook Pro

    some of my major softwares like AppStore and SoftwareUpdate and ,,,, are not working!!!
    please help
    (I'm using Mavericks and Cant upgrade it!)

    A.
    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
    B.
    "Kerio Control" must be updated, reinstalled, or removed.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Apps not installing after anna update

    Non of the apps and not even themes are able to install from ovi store after updating my N8 to anna today. The apps download just fine but when it gets to the installation part it results in an installation error.
    My N8 product code 059c640
    I have already done a hard reset 2 times together with a full format of my mass memory and memory card before resetting and then after installation process I updated everything through ovi suite and mobile update tool OTA again.
    Helppppp.. What can i do????... I've tried many things already.

    Now I can't even do a hard reset with full format anymore... After experiencing these problems with Ovi Store I tryed to do another full format and hard reset...
    So this is what I did:
    Go to offline mode, take my simcard out, take my mem card out, after fully formatting both memories.
    Then I did *#7780#  and  *#7370#
    But after when the installation process is ready an rebooting.. all my contacts and widget with my facebook profile and Ovi Store and even my wake up alarmsare still set up. Everything is still there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not connected to Ovi Suite during the whole process... it seems I'm unable to erase all data. What can I do to reinstall my N8 ???? I have also tryed the 3 finger salute... but it just gives me the same result.
    What can I do?

  • ITunes 10.5 did not install after software update ran.

    After running software update on iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 duo, the iTunes.app in the Applications folder is still 10.4.1.
    I downloaded the installation dmg, and ran that twice.  Still no change.  What is going on?
    The system updates were installed 10.7.2.

    Praise God - I found the solution after hours of work: (1) Uninstall all Apple programs (itunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, .....); (2) Go to "Common Files" and delete all Apple files - this might be difficult for some are locked from you - you may have to change the "Owner" of the file in order to delete it - if that doesn't work "Rename the Apple Follder to something like Apple Old - that's like deleting it.  Then download 10.5 from Apple and away you go - yippee.

  • CS5 Bridge will not open, Air will not install, and AAM Updater will not update.  Please help!

    I am having several problems with CS5, and as best I can tell they all seem to be related.  I purchased CS5 about a month ago.  Photoshop has opened and ran fine.  However, recently AAM notified me some several updates available.  When I tried to update them they all failed.  This lead to the discovery that Bridge will not open at all, Air installs but with an error and cannot update itself or applications like Adobe Help, and since the AAM updater ran it now thinks everything is up to date.
    I have search endlessly for every piece of information I could find on this issue.  As well as, sat on the phone with tech support for hours.  As best I can tell, (and really I have no evidence to support me), it seems to all be related to a permissions issues.  However, I have tried everything the forums suggested with no luck, and Tech Support ended with me doing an Uninstall and reinstall (twice), while repairing permissions in-between.  I am about at the end of the road with this issue and would greatly appreciate any additional suggests you could offer.
    Some additional details.
    Running a MBP i7, 8GB RAM, and MAC OSX 10.6.4
    Bridge Issue,
         When attempting to launch Bridge it simply returns an error "This operation could not be completed..."  I tried the option click and reset method, no luck.
    Air Issue,
         Kind of works, but at the same time doesn't.  In that in one of the previous installations programs like Adobe Help would not run.  Now Help does run, however, when I go to update Air it says it completed successfully but then immediately gives me an error saying "~this may not be allowed by the administrator..."  I also cannot update Adobe Help, it just sits and says preparing to update.
    AAM Updater Issue,
         This appeared to work fine until I attempted to install an update.  It downloaded everything and then failed on the install.  However, now it thinks everything is up to date, but nothing is.

    Well despite not getting much love on this forum.  I was able to correct the problem.  I tried every solution that google would produce on these issues.  Ultimately it came done to permission issue.  I was lead to this fix by a person on flickr that suggested permissions as the cause.  However, his solution was to modify the permissions in the home directory root and apply them to every subsequent folder in the home directory.  Although quick and easy, I felt this would lead to more trouble then it was worth. 
    I did some more digging and what I discovered is that all the permission of the Adobe folders in the home directory library (not the HD library) and the application folder did not match all the other folders in those areas.  Some of the files in some of the folders did not match either.  So I made them match (the ones that matched I left alone), and everything seemingly went back to working normally.  It was a bit of a pain going folder by folder.  Fortunately there where not many of them.  About 8 in total, plus the internal folders.

  • Apps not installing after FW update on my 5800XM

    Hi All,
    I just updated my 5800XM's FW to the latest version (40.0.005).
    After the FW update I can't install any apps on the phone. When I try to install an app, it gives an error Unable to start operation. Installer already in use. 
    I tried again after restarting the phone, but still no change.
    Would greatly appreciate any help on this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Gehan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Mine did that as well, but it did work again after I restarted the phone.
    Maybe it's just a question of leaving the phone alone for a while. It could be installing stuff in the background.

  • I have an iMac that I am running OSX 10.8.3 on.  I keep trying to install 10.8.4 but it will not install.  I tried updating and installing several times and it restarts the computer but it will not install the software.  My machine is about 8 months old.

    Sometimes the App Store version doesn't work correctly. In this case, install 10.8.4 with the Combo version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The Combo installer is the safest way to update OS X, and it allows you to update more than one computer with a single download

  • I was trying to update my garageband app and once the app fully downloads it says that it could not install and to check my internet connection. I restarted my internet, turned it off and on, restarted my computer, and nothing works what do i do

    I was trying to update my garageband app and once the app fully downloads it says that it could not install and to check my internet connection. I restarted my internet, turned it off and on, restarted my computer, deleted the app and downloaded it again and the same thing happened every time. What should I do?

    Do you have any firewalls or antivirus software active (e.g. Little Snitch), that could prevent the installer from contacting the Apple Servers? If yes, turn them off.  Also, disable the Energy saver, to prevent the Mac from falling asleep and causing time outs.
    Sometimes it will help, to run the installer in Safe Mode, see:  Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

    Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
    Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
    Reboot 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.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
    And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

  • TS1702 There are two apps in my update section that I did not install and I want them gone.  1 says it has mature content, what the heck is this?

    there are two apps in my update section that I did not install and do not want.  How do I get rid of them without?

    Web browser apps display the same warning - and as Rkedge pointed out - any app that accesses web content may show that warning.
    Atomic, Mercury, Google Chrome, iCab Mobile ... All web browsers and I think that they all display that same warning.
