Can't Install Apps Directly To iPod touch

For some reason my iPod touch can't install apps on its own, I have to go through this big process that involves:
1. Transfering the downloaded app to iTunes on the computer
2. Making all the apps wobble to delete the uninstalled app directly off the iPod touch
3. Uncheck the box in the applications folder thing when the iPod touch is plugged in to the computer to completely uninstall the app
4. Sync the iPod touch
5. Then finally add the app back onto the iPod touch through the computer
Then after this long process the app works perfectly, but I recently saw some iPhone 3G commercial and it demonstrated how to download apps and went to the app store on the iPhone, downloaded an app and installed directly all by itself, so I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or my iPod touch is just broken?

Hi,
Do you still have 2.0.1? I had the occasional hiccup with that when downloading to the Touch. I have recently tried again now I'm on 2.0.2 and they seem to have worked OK.
Regards,
Dud

    Are the apps compatible with your model iPod and its iOS?
    Do you have Restrictions set that prohibit installing those apps? Settings>General>Restrictions

    how can i add apps to my ipod touch 2 with ios 4.2.1

    Same way as always. Purchases directly for the App store on the iPod or download on your computer and sync to your iPod. To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • How can i install whatsapp on my iPod touch?

    How can I install Whatsapp on my iPod touch? it's not available in the app store...
    Tnx

    You can't. Over a year ago the developer updated the app so it is only compatible with an iPhone. Also, the version that was compatible with the iPod does not work with iOS 5.

  • Can't put apps into my ipod touch.

    Hi guys,
    Please help me out in this.Can't put any application into my ipod touch.

    Hello Mrunalini Goli,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do you have the *Sync Applications* box ticked from under your iPod's Apps tab in iTunes? See this article for more help.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1977
    Also, make sure you don't have Restrictions enabled for installing Apps to your iPod. To check, head to *Settings -> General -> Restrictions*.

  • How can I get apps for my ipod touch with ios 2.2?

    I've been trying to search for games/apps for my iPod Touch but can't seem to find anything that doesn't required iOS 3.0 or greater.
    Does anyone have any suggested apps/games for the older gen ipod touch?  Is there a way to search the apps store for these older apps?

    If I may ask, why do you not just upgrade your iPod's operating system? Even the first-generation iPod touch can run iOS 3, and the 2nd-generation iPod touch can run iOS 4, though not all features work. Then you would have a much broader range of apps available to you.
    Regards.

  • Can't download apps onto my iPod touch?

    When I try to download apps onto my iPod touch, it gives me a message that says I need to verify the account and billing information, which I have done, but it still won't let me get anything, it says I need to log into my account then sends me back into the app store to log in, but after I type it in and go to log in, it is stuck at a grey loading screen and asks me to log in again, non-stop. Is there any fix for this?

    - Try resetting your iPod,. A long shot but you loose nothing.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Contact iTunes:
    Apple - Support - iTunes

  • I can't sync apps onto my ipod touch? Help??

    I use a Mac.
    So here's what will happen: I'll log into my account on Itunes, and then I'll connect my ipod touch (2nd generation) to it. I'll then click on Ipod (on the left hand window) and I'll select apps. I've purchased a couple of them, but whenever I click apply to sync, it won't.  I don't need to authorize it or anything, it just won't sync to my itouch. Help?

    Are the apps compatible with ipod touch?
    Are they compatible with the software version on your ipod touch?

  • Can't download apps on my Ipod touch 1st gen

    I have an Ipod touch 1st generation, and I've updated it as far as i can, but when I try to download anything on appstore it says that I need iOS 6.0 to download any program... This kinda means that I can't use Spotify or anything that I want to do with my ipod. Is there anything I can do to make it work? idk what to do.

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
