Can't install app even though iOS ver is OK
My wife's workplace gave her an iPad for attending a class, so she gave me her iPod Touch (second generation, 8GB), and iPod Video (5.5g, 30GB). These are my first Apple products. I am a disabled old ****, but in an earlier life I was a somewhat prominent Windows author (software dev/book/magazine).
I am trying to set up these very nice little devices, but running into some snags. Right now the main roadblock is an app I am trying to install (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/official-drudge-report-free/id375614185?mt=8) -- it goes through the initial steps, places an icon on the screen, but then it pops up a box telling me that it needs iOS 4.2 or higher. When I look at the About page on the iPod, it tells me the version is 4.2.1 (which I gather is the highest version that this model can accept?)
Can anyone help me figure out if there is any way around this apparently irrational conflict?
BTW, I was also trying to find documentation for this machine, but I cannot find anything available. There are manuals for earlier iOS versions, later iOS versions, but nothing for THIS version. Likewise, I can't find any manual for the Second Generation iPod Touch. If there is any way to find the relevant links, I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
FWIW, the device is able to access the Internet without problems. I have not yet plugged it into my computer -- I need to download Itunes (a nontrivial affair, since we are probably the last people in the country to be stuck with dialup modem access; we live in an uber-rural area where there just isn't anything else; my wife has decent connectivity at her workplace for her Mac laptop, but out here, it's misery). I've been using the iPod via the in-home WiFi that I set up (loads of fun making it work with a dialup modem system, argh). In any case, the device CAN access the Inet, so at least one variable is nailed down.
The app liny you provided says:
Compatibility: Requires iOS 4.3 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
A 2G can only go as high at 4.2.1
You might be able to get that app and some othr aps by:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
Also:
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

I can't get app even though I'm old enough
I'm trying to buy the app free music from the App Store 0, but it won't let me buy it but I'm old enough to buy it. PLZ HELP
5GB of space isn't enough.
The installer will need to expand files that will take up more space than the original download.
I have 5.26GB listed for the Xcode application alone - not including supporting files that may be installed elsewhere.
5GB is really too little space to leave for the OS to write it's caches & swap data, you should have at least 10GB free at all times IMO (ideally more like +20GB, and only if it's an SSD).
I think you need to make a copy of your disk & then remove files that you can live without. -
Finding that the Adobe Creative Cloud Widget/Launcher that drops down from the 'system bar' at the top of the screen now is not showing the apps that area clearly installed. It was accurate immediately after install, but I have noticed that it only shows two of the thirteen installed applications for the past week or so. Any ideas how to fix this and make it accurate again?
Hez_Godfrey please utilize the steps listed in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html to restore the list of installed applications. I would recommend beginning with solution 2.

Can't Install imovie even though I meet the computer requirements
imovie '09 says I need at least a dual G5 with 2 Ghz in order to install. Well that's exactly what I have but it's not recognizing that. Any ideas?????
I figured it out. I had two graphics cards installed back when I had two monitors. But now that I only have one I had it plugged into the port with the graphics card that was not compatible with with imovie '09. So I moved the monitor to the other port and wallahhhh!!!

I signed on to iCloud, but it only shows the icons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find Phone, Numbers, Pages and Keynotes. Where's everything else ?
What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone. -
I upgraded to iOS 5 and lost ALL of my apps even though they were backed up to Itunes during the process. Whenever I plug my ipad into my computer the apps that appear in Itunes are from my ipod touch. How can I get my apps back without purchasing them again?
On your iPad and iPod touch tap Settings > Store
Make sure Music is switched On under Automatic Downloads.
Now restart your iPad and your iPod touch.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?
All downloads from iTunes are tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't re-download content via a different account. You checked the spam folder on yourr old account as well as the Inbox, and depending upon how long ago you did it, have you retried getting it reset : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?

Why can't I submit a review about an app, even though I own it?
How do we know why you can't submit a review if we don't know what you have tried?
Tap on Ratings and Review, then tap on Write A Review and a window pops up asking for your Apple ID password. Once the password is verified another window pops up in which you can tap on the "star" rating that you want to give and you can type your review and submit it. What isn't working for you? -

Hi ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you cannot use your Wi-Fi after the latest update to your iPhone 4s. I know you have already done some great troubleshooting by restoring with iTunes but the Wi-Fi becomes unavailable very quickly after you set it up. Go ahead and set up the iPhone so you can get into the Setting and then follow the steps provided in the attached article.
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you complete all of these steps and still are not able to access the Wi-Fi, it may be necessary to follow the link at the bottom of the page and contact Apple Support.
Have a great day,
-Joe
