my brother just gave me his older i pod touch.  it is 2 -3 yrs old.  I am unable to access the application store.  i can get to i tunes only and the apps that are on the ipod when you first buy it.  is the older version of the ipod touch able to use applications and games??????

Yes.  You need to update the software.
If it is a first gen ipod touch then you can buy 3.1 here:

If it is 2nd gen or later, then just update the software from itunes.

    how can i transfer my rarely used applications and files so i can make room on my computer harddrive?

    Well the applications you should leave alone as they install files elsewhere that are needed like preferences etc that won't be on the external drive if you attempt to run it from there.
    Some programs are completely self contained and will run just fine from a external drive, but applicaiton's are usually small.
    Now your user files! That could use some thinning for sure! Especially stuff you don't use that often and Video files which take up a lot of space.
    You can buy a external USB drive at any office / computer supply store and just plug it in and backup files via drag and drop.
    What happens when you plug in a drive is TimeMachine will pop up and ask to make it a TimeMachine drive, this just backups up everything on your computer to restore from in case your OS X or boot drive fails. It's a image of your drive and so whatever is on the boot drive is on the TM drive. So that doesn't server your purpose which is you want to free some space off your main boot drive.
    However you should get another drive and allow TM to do it's thing to that drive, also to make a hold option bootable clone of your boot drive (using yet another external drive) using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper so in case your boot drive fails you can quickly and easily boot off the clone and have a working machine right away.
    One of the posters here has a excellent instructions what does what, both should be used to backup your data.

  • Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option

    Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option in I-tunes. I've tried using both a Mac Book and PC with newer and older versions of I-tunes.

    It sounds like you are try to delete the songs by connecting the iPod to other than the computer from which the songs were synced. You can only delete songs synced to an an older iPod (pre iOS 5) by connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and unsync them.
    If you want to change syncing computers see:

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    I need to create a class library in VS2013 that can be referenced by a VB6 application and newer applications. I heard something about

    Hello,

  • Where can i read Apple's requirements in terms of iOs Applications and Games?

    I would like to find out what are the Apple's requirements in terms of the content of the applications and games that are accepted.
    Are there any standarts to be met, or you just send the application/game to the testers and they reply you that it's ok or not?

    And in some cases, yes, it can mean submitting an app and seeing what the reviewers have to say...especially since all things App Store are fluid. Just remember, the review isn't a testing service
    Good luck in any case.

  • Java (.jar) applications and games on 5530XM

    Hello
    I have used the search option before asking, and I have manually searched some of the sub-forums (or boards) I thought could and would be relevant to my issue, and have seen no similar questions being asked. I have also worked with my good friend Google, and had no luck there, either. Most of the results were pirated software links, which is not necessarily bad, but does not help me resolve my issue.
    Now, I'm not sure this is the correct board to post this in, but I'm not too far off even if it isn't; so bear with me. Now, onto the question.
    I would like to know if it is possible to turn off the D-Pad emulator, and how one would go about doing that?
    Let me elaborate, for those who are not familiar with what I'm talking about:
    Namely, the 5530XM has an elegant solution for running non-touch apps and games (i.e.. those made for earlier revisions of the S60 OS, or even those legacy apps for S40), and it is as follows - the phone places the app/game interface in a window, scaled to the apps original rendering resolution, and then places a set of touch command buttons. It makes a Directional Pad, consisting of concentric circles, divided into 5 areas, 4 directions (up, down, left, right), and a general "OK" button (center). It also displays four "Letter-buttons", labeled "A", "B", "C" and "D", which have variable or no functions, depending on the app that is run. Finally it displays two function buttons, Left and Right Menu buttons, usually placed near the red and green phone button on phones with keypads. This works flawlessly for old apps and games, with the limitation that the interface is not multi-touch, meaning it will only accept one virtual keypress at a time.
    My problem with this setup is that some of the more recent Java applications are run as legacy as well; meaning ALL of the touch-aware apps and games that I have tried running. This is unacceptable for several reasons. First, some of them don't recognize the simulated commands, rendering the virtual D-Pad useless. What's more, the virtual interface covers a good portion of the app's original interface, making it impossible to use it. The apps and games I have tried are shipped as .jar, and are supposed to work with a touch interface. And they do, it's only that they're half-covered with an unneeded virtual D-Pad!
    I am open for all suggestions, I have the latest firmware installed, 20.0.080.C01.01, the phone is, as mentioned, 5530 XM (RM-604), and I haven't manually altered Java in any way. I am, however, ready and willing to go for some more serious tinkering if need be, even if it involves altering system files, hex editing and whatnot, and I won't cry to mama if I brick the phone, I know full well the range and scope of possible consequences. This would probably constitute breaking the rules, maybe even voiding the warranty, so I'm not asking for anyone to give an answer of that level here, publicly, but feel free to send a personal message or ask for my e-mail / IM screen name, so that we can communicate about such taboo topics
    One more note, probably relevant: .sis and .sisx apps and games work flawlessly, bot the old ones needing the D-Pad (they get a virtual one) and the new ones, which are correctly recognized as touch-capable. Even some that are reported incompatible by the phone work without a hitch. It really is a pity to see the Java apps fail after everything else is flawless.
    Perhaps, if there is no known solution or a dirty workaround, we can file an official recommentadion/bug report/feature request to the developers in charge? I can wait.
    Thanks to those brave enough to read my wall of text, and thanks in advance to all who reply something useful
