Certain apps will not install on my iPod touch 1G due to software version

I bought an iPod Touch 1G off a friend recently. When I got it off him, it had several versions of Angry Birds which all functioned perfectly. Since having to erase all the data and the apps on the device in order to sync it to my computer, I don't seem to be able to install Angry Birds at all and when I try, I get an error message saying I need to update the software version to iPhone 4.
According to my iTunes it is currently on the latest software version which is 3.1.3.
I don't understand why I can't install applications that were working fine before I synced the device to my computer. Could it be some cross-platform issue between my friends Mac and my Pc?
If anyone has a solution, I would be grateful as this is getting frustrating.

First of all, the 1st generation Touch can only instal and use up to iOS 3.1.3, even though there are later versions of the iOS available for newer iPod Touchs. The 1G simply isn't capable of using iOS 4.
As for Angry Birds, there appear to be six versions available (in the UK store), three are paid for and three are free. However, of the three free versions, two require iOS 4.0 or higher to run. So the versions installed on your iPod when you bought it must have been paid for or Angry Birds Lite. I assume therefore that you have been trying to instal Angry Birds Free and Angry Birds Rio Free, which both require iOS 4.0.
I have no idea why there are six different versions or why some require a higher version of the software than other versions.
So either try installing the Angry Birds Lite or buy one of the other versions. Be aware though, that if a version you buy then gets updated and subsequently requires iOS 4, it will be removed from your Touch (as it will not work).

  • Apps will not sync to my Ipod touch

    I read through the other question about the apps not syncing to the ipod touch. I then realized that I do not have the Applications tab on my Itunes. I also just recently downloaded the new Itunes as well. Not sure how to get the applications tab or how to get them to sync without it.

    Two questions, have you ever been able to Sync Apps to his Touch and have you *enabled restrictions* on his Touch?
    On the Touch, go into the Settings/General/Restrictions menu and look for *Installing Apps* on that list. If you have set restrictions on, *Installing Apps* is set to On as a default (on my Touch anyway), so you need to turn off the Apps one, at least until you have installed the ones you are prepared to let him have.

  • App will not load onto my Ipod Touch (4). How do I get a refund?

    I downloaded the App "1000 Exercises". It shows up on Itunes, but does not go onto the Ipod. I tried doing the suggested "deauthorize" the computer routine. It does not work. How do I get my money refunded. Thanks

    You can report it as a problem using the procedure here:

    Have you synced apps from that computer to your iPod before? Have you tried downloading the app directly to your iPod?

  • IPad 2 Restore - Apps Will NOT Install

    I have recently been having intermittent problems with my home button being unresponsive on my iPad 2.  I decided I would try a restore to see if this would resolve the problem.  The home button issue may be better (more time will tell) but whoa did this create an entire new set of challenges.
    What I did:
    1) Went into iTunes to update all apps afterwards performed multiple syncs and backups just to be safe.
    2) After restore to factory settings was completed I attempted to restore iPad 2 to my latest backup from earlier in the morning.
    3) Attempted restore multiple times each time an error message states:  The app "x" was not installed on the iPad because the app could not be found
    4) The 26 missing Apps appear in iTunes with a "Will Install" button.  Pressing this button changes it to "Install".  Attempted several additional syncs but apps would not appear on iPad.  I also tried to restore with the iPad off, USB disconnected, holding down the home button, attaching the USB Factory Restore to no avail.  All of the missing apps are current and available in iTunes such as:  Amazon, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, AroundMe, Yelp, Cards, BBC News, etc...you get it...common basic apps all gone missing.
    5) Went into iTunes Store on the iPad 2.  Searched in folder for Not on this iPad and Purchased.  Several purchased apps were missing from the list but some were there.  I tried to manually download the apps that were listed from the Cloud as well as manually enter the app name to re-download and install.  All of my missing apps when searched had the Cloud download icon even if they didn't appear in the Not on this iPad or Purchased screens.
    6) I am currently attempting to download all the missing apps from the Cloud and will try another sync.
    7) What should have been a very short an easy restore has now gone on for over 5 hours as I try multiple syncs, restarts, restores...
    Does anyone know what is happening and how to prevent it in the future?
    All of my software is up to date.  I am running OS X 10.8.4, iOS 6.1.3, all apps were updated on both device and iTunes library this morning prior to restore. 
    My iTunes settings for backups is set to iCloud automotic however I performed a backup to computer before attempting the initial restore.
    Please help!
    Thanks!!!

    I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
    It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!

  • Best Buy PC App will not install or repair.

    Hey, sorry for this, but upon buying a PC game, the Best Buy PC app will not install. At first it went through the install wizard and all, but it wasnt installed anywhere on my computer. Then: After following the advice of a bestbuy online representitive, I searched my c drive and deleted all information and tried to re-install. Now instead of the "Install Now" option, there is the "repair". Upon selectring repair,  it says "Source file not found .... verify that the file exists and you can access it". I've tried all night to get this up an runnning. I've contacted customer service 6 times and am either told they dont know what to do, or I am put on hold for 45 minutes. If anyone has any solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks again for your time.
