Can an iPod touch 4th Gen run App Store apps?

Hello!
I'm thinking about buying a refurbished iPod touch 4th Generation (in white, 32 GB) for my kid. http://store.apple.com/xc/product/FD058LL/A?cid=mail%20share
Anyways, she wants to download some apps onto her iPod. However, when I go to the App Store on my iPhone and look at Twitter, for example, by "Compatibility" it says "Requires iOS 7.0 or later."
I know that an iPod touch 4th Generation is stuck on iOS 6. Does this mean it would not be able to download and apps like Twitter that say "requires iOS 7 or later"?
I just want to be sure before I purchase.
Thanks!!!

Yes, unless the developer has left an older version available.

What ios system can the IPod touch 4th gen. update to

What ios system can the iPod touch 4th gen. update to?

I wouldn't buy a second-gen iPod touch at any price now, and particularly not for only $50 less than a fourth-gen model. There are far too many apps that require a version of iOS newer than what a second-gen iPod can run. Up to you, though.
Regards.

Brightness issue with Passbook on iPod touch (4th gen) running iOS 6

There's a glitch with Passbook that I'm using with an iPod touch 4G: whenever I open the app, the brightness maxes out, and the auto-brightness doesn't kick in either. The brightness returns to normal when I quit to the home screen or switch to another app. Very annoying and painful in a dim or dark room.

This is actually not a glitch. The reason the iPhone maxes out the brightness when you open passbook is to prevent scanning issues when your coupon or ticket is being scanned. Basically it is preventing you from possibly having to go manually change your brightness because the scanner can't read the dark screen. It seems like a glitch at first but when you think about it, it's genius.

Can't sync app to ipod touch 4th gen

I purchased the Home Run Battle 2 app for my ipad, ipod touch and iphone. The app will sync to all devices except to the ipod touch (4th gen). I tried this using my iMac through iTunes. Then, I also tried to get it from the ipod touch by searching for it in the app store and installing, but when I touch the OPEN button, nothing happens. I also tried dragging the app to the device while in iTunes and it won't take. Any suggestions?

So if you go into the app store, on your ipod, and go to the app's page, does it gives you the option to "open" or ? You kind of lost me with "go to the app store to get it". I thought you had gone there before and it said open?
If you go into settings >> general >> usage, is the app listed there? If it is, click the app, then click delete app. Then go back into the app store on the ipod and try to redownload it from the app store.
You could also try to search for the app on your ipod, if you can't find the icon, by swiping all the way to the left.
Also, how many pages do you have on your ipod? I think it maxes out at 11.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

Seems to be an Apple or FB app problem. Nothing you can do but wait for it to be fixed.

I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen. I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me.

You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
If on your iPod now:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud

Im going to restore my ipod touch(4th gen) to factory settings. my question is, how do i back up all notes from the app "notes" so they can be reinstalled? or is it allready backed up as per the main "back-up" ?

im going to restore my ipod touch(4th gen) to factory settings. my question is, how do i back up all notes from the app "notes" so they can be reinstalled? or is it allready backed up as per the main "back-up" ? I know its a simple question, but i dont know the answer. please help.

The iPod backup that iTunes makes includes Notes.and other app data. However, it does not included synced media like apps and music.
Thus, just restore from backup with all your synced media in your iTunes library.

"medical id" is missing from my health app on my iPod touch 5th gen running iOS 8

Along the bottom of the health app on my iPod touch 5th gen running iOS 8 I am missing the "medical id" that should be the 4th icon on the lower right of the screen

You can't seriously believe users would be *that* idiotic, even on a sue-happy country like the US… And while Apple could get sued, it's not like Apple Legal would lose a case like that; for someone to die in the first place *because of the iPod Touch*, first-responders (be them regular bystanders or medical professionals) would have to be stupid enough to believe they could use it to make calls and not try doing that using instead, duh, a regular phone that they would likely be carrying with them anyway, and for Apple to be in the least bit accountable, the interface would have to misdirect them and make them believe they could in the first place.
Except it doesn't. It never did. The iOS interface, on the iPod Touch, has no references whatsoever to calling functions, be they regular or emergency-related. If you tap a phone number detected by smart filters, you can't dial it (I believe you're offered the option to save it on the Address Book, though), and on the lock screen, there is no “Emergency Call” function (nor would there be such a function on the Health ID page, either). So… I fail to see your point.
And you can't seriously believe Apple would risk, on purpose, a lawsuit by the family of someone who, having both an iPhone *and* an iPod Touch (not very likely, I know, but please bear with me) dies because s/he is carrying only the iPod Touch and unwittingly (but understandably) expects *all* Health and the potentially *life-saving* Health ID info to sync across devices via iCloud.
Nope, this is an oversight by Apple devs, and a massive one at that.
P.S.: A massive legal/functional disclaimer, such as “Warning: This device cannot connect to the cellular network. For emergency calls please use an appropriate device” or something along those lines would pretty much exempt them from any legal responsibility, while still enabling a life-saving feature.

IPod Touch 4th gen unable to install apps

Not sure where to start really. OK basically my iPod touch 4th gen is unable to download apps from the app store or any content from the iTunes app, the only way I can get new content on to my device is to sync it with iTunes on my mac (which isn't convenient for me)
after about 3 weeks of running my iPod without any problems, it starts out of nowhere and it doesn't matter what firmware I am running (it has happened on 4.1 and 4.2.1) the only way to fix it is a full DFU restore even more annoying than not being able to install apps without my mac.
Here is the message I get: http://i.min.us/ijfOIK.PNG
Anyone know what is up with my iPod? I have an old Touch 2G as well and its never done this to me.
Note: i am not jailbroken, but i have a few friends and family members that are jailbroken and have never had this problem.
if anyone knows anything i would appreciate it as i am now on my 13th DFU restore thanks to this problem

I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Can't connect to the internet with my iPod touch 4th gen.

So I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and have been able to get wifi from my computer with no problem but now it's not working. When I choose the network I've always used I see the 3 lines on top of the screen that show when it's connected to the internet but when I try to open iTunes, the App Store, etc. it says, "cannot connect to iTunes" or whatever it is that I'm trying to open.
I'm so frustrated! I already restarted both my iPod & laptop, connected then disconnected the modem, and resetted the network settings but it still doesn't work.
When i open troubleshoot problems, it says that the wireless network connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration, sorry if I'm too stupid but what's an IP configuration? How can I fix this?
Please help me!

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect? ( I thin yo are say no. In that case you have a router problem. Try powering off and then back on the router. Next try changing the security on the router. Test it with no security. The reset ther router. Last, get a new router.)
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
