Downgrade App version in Iphone

Hi
I have updated two apps, but I wish to revert back to the older version. Unfortunately the computer that I have transferred the apps to is not with me right now.
I have the .ipa files of the older version, and I wish to transfer it to my iphone 4. I have a new laptop with iTunes installed, but it can't seem to detect the apps. I also am unable to transfer apps from my iphone to that laptop (presumably because it has been synced to another computer).
What shall I do to install the older .ipa files and replace the updated version in my iphone 4 in this case?
Thanks in advance

The iphone is a one way sync, so it must be synced with a computer that you have used.
As for the apps, if you have the previous version of the apps on your computer that has them, as long as you not have transfered purchases, you should still have the old one, but before you sync, delete the two apps that you have that you wish to revert. Then connect to itunes, and you can put the two apps you want.

You don't. The only place to obtain apps for any iPhone is the app store. However, most, if not all of those apps won't run/install on an iPhone 3G. iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for your phone & most developers no longer support it.

The iOS is 6.1.3, problem is Apple will not sign the file through iTunes to install it on the iPhone 4S.

How can I download apps on my iphone and it is a version 4.2.1?

How can I download apps on my iphone and it is a version 4.2.1?

Go to the iTunes App Store, sort the applications by release data, and look at the older ones; these are likely to be compatible with iOS 4.2.1. If the iPhone is a 3GS or newer model, it can be connected to iTunes on a computer and updated to 6.1.3.

ITunes 11.0.2 is forcing me to sync apps from my iPhone into my Mac AGAIN. This is the new version of iTunes so there is no option to uncheck syncing Apps- how do I stop it from copying apps into my Mac?

I'm using iTunes 11.0.2 on my Macbook Air running Lion, to sync with my iPhone 5. With this latest release of iTunes, there's no option to uncheck syncing of apps. For a while now, iTunes have been working fine- it didn't sync apps from my iPhone to my Mac... until this morning. I only have Podcasts sync checked and every day, I just plug in my iPhone and click Sync and it worked great- it only copied my podcasts to the phone.
Today, I did the same thing- downloaded new podcasts, plugged in my phone, and clicked Sync. It backed up my data, copied my podcasts, and THEN it starts to copy all the apps from my iPhone into my Mac. This is the first time it's doing this- I'm sure the team removed that feature from this latest iTunes and I think this is a bug. I unchecked the Apps checkbox from Library in Preferences- I click sync, and again it starts to sync all the apps, AND the Apps checkbox becomes checked again.
I've restarted iTunes many times and rebooted, didn't work.

I have the same problem on both my iPad and my iPhone and it also started with iTunes 10.0.2.

Cannot find apps purchased for iPhone and iPad in iTune

My iMac 27 running very slowly under Mavericks and since the upgrade of iTune to version 12.01.26 being impossible to complete a sync of my iPhone and iPad I decided to completely reset my iMac 27. Before doing this I copied all the files I wanted to keep on my MacBook Pro (including all my music and apps for iPhone and iPad).
The OS X Mavericks being no longer available on the App Store I completely reset my iMac 27 and installed OS X Yosemite 10.10. Once this was done I copied back all the files I wanted to keep from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite). There was no problem with all my music now appearing in iTune. However I cannot find any of the apps I bought for my iPhone and iPad and which I copied back from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite).
All the copied back apps appear correctly in the following directory of my iMac 27 :
Musique/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/
However none appear in any of the 5 sections in the Apps section of iTune.
I decided to purchase an app in the App Store to see where the related file would appear and it appears in the same directory as stated above. I can see the icon of this newly purchased app in the app section of iTune but none of the apps I recopied from my MacBook Pro. Moreover when I go in the app store to see the newly purchased app I can see that it has been downloaded. However when I try to do the same for the apps I have already purchased and recopied the App Store tells me to purchase them. When I try to do the same on my MacBook Pro the App Store tells me that the apps have already been purchased, though they were the copied apps from my iMac 27 before full reset.
Can someone help me to get all my previously purchased apps in iTune on my iMac 27 so I can sync my iPhone and iPad without loosing all the apps which appear on them ?

Fruit Ninja has a unique iPhone version and a unique iPAD version. So for this particular App you can buy both. That said, if you decide to buy the iPhone version, the iPhone version will also work on your iPAD too. But the iPAD version which you have already purchased will not work on the iPhone.
So to summarize, iPhone apps will work on iPAD, but iPAD unique or specific apps will not work on the iPhone. Some apps are designed to work on both beyond the features of just the iPhone app. The Fruit Ninja HD unique or specific iPAD app will not work on the iPhone.

My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

I am trying to sync my iphone 4. Get error :"itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined"

I wanted to sync my iphone 4 (cdma). I have synced it before successfully. I am getting an error "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined" and the apps and items follwoing apps in syncing (photos for example) will not sync. Items prior to apps synced (calendar/contacts). I restarted both my iphone (currently on ios 4.2.8) and my computer, itunes was on 10.6.1, same problem. I installed itunes 10.6.3, same problem. I had been waiting to update ios to 5.1.1 and would like to do that now, but wanted to sync first. Anyone have any ideas? I am stumped! Thank you.

Cannot Restore Apps On Older iPhones

I am still a happy user of an iPhone 2G, running iOS 3.1.3 (the latest compatible iOS version).
Some time ago, possibly after a faulty App Store update, my Slovoed application (a German dictionary bought 2-3 years ago for $20) stopped working.
I first tried to reinstall it from the App Store : no luck, the present Slovoed version (3.28) is not compatible with iOS 3 anymore.
I then thought, no problem, since I have a Mac iTunes save of my iPhone 2G, I will restore the proper Slovoed application from iTunes : no luck, apparently iTunes kept only the latest, incompatible version of Slovoed, possibly because I was synchronizing on the same Mac not only this iPhone 2G under iOS 3.1.3 but also an iPad mini under iOS 6.1.
Searching the Internet, I then discovered that when you save/synchronize, iTunes keeps only the latest versions of Apps in the /Users/<user>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications folder, pushing the previously saved versions of the Apps to the trash.
You can recover IN THE TRASH (!!) the .ipa files of the applications... as long as you have NOT emptied the trash since.
No luck again in my case...
I then tried to get the compatible Slovoed 3.01.ipa file directly from Slovoed support : they refused "for security reasons" (?!), suggesting I get a refund from the App Store !.
At that point, I am completely stuck : I paid for an App which I cannot restore at all with the proper original version.
Bottom line : you can buy an Application on the App Store, install it on your iPhone, synchronize regularly your iPhone with a Mac or PC, and still being unable later on to restore the proper compatible version on your iPhone when you direly need it !
This would never have happened on any old Mac/PC for which you had kept the install disks !
One can understand that Apple wants to accelerate its older iPhones obsolescence, but it is completely abnormal you cannot restore from the App Store older applications you fully bought, when the latest versions have become incompatible, and while iTunes does not keep proper Apps backups.
Shame on you Apple, at some point there will be enough people with the same issue to give ground to a nice class action suite...

Answering to so many posts in such an authoritative way obviously gave you a false superiority complex...
But may be if you don't want to understand what is plainly written, it is just because you are a troll paid to discourage those too critical about Apple ?
It is Apple who decided to have the App Store maintain a single App version for download, when they could as easily differentiate between versions depending on the iPhone version or iOS version.
It is Apple who built a save/restore mechanism in iTunes which does not allow restoration of Apps properly saved.
Sure, Apps developers could have Apps running on all 6 versions of iOS. But that never happened in the Mac/PC world, that will not happen in the iOS world, and anyway that's not what I am asking for.
I am asking for a save/restore mechanism WHICH WORKS and restores the iPhone in the same state it was when saved, APPS INCLUDED !!!

The software on iphone has expired + Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined + Can't restore = Help!

Hello guys, I'm begging for your help, I've read so many threads, nothing works for me. I hope you will try to help me
First message I get when I connect the iphone is
"The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version"
Then it tries to backup but I get
"Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"
When I click check for updates it says I have the latest version (5.0)
When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again"
Tried that MANY times but no luck.
This iphone was on a developper account but it is not anymore (removed from developper account).
I'm the administrator on my PC. When I'm on the summary of my iphone it shows N/A as my phone number.
Back up to icloud doesn't work because I didn't set it up before it stopped working
When I try to activate it directly from the iphone I always get "Could not activate iphone. Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarely unavailable..." (for the past 3 weeks :s)
I can access my music and everything from itunes.
I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work.
I also tried device manager, select PC, scan hardware for changes (read it worked for some) but not for me after that I don't get the
"The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version" and "Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined" ...I just get "Itunes could not back up iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone" + "itunes could not sync because a connection could not be established with the iphone"
Please help me make it work again! I'd go to an apple store but I'm in south-east asia at the moment and there is nothing like it in 700km +
This little machine would be perfect to travel with, it's a shame it just stopped working like 3 weeks ago, just said I needed to activate it again ...
Thanks a million times!

I can't access it on the iphone as I said
On itunes in summary I have "Software version: 5.0"
Yes I tried to restore it
"When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again" ...did that many times but always the same error message
"I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work."

The Facebook app on my iPhone 4s no longer works

Two days ago my Facebook app on my iPhone 4s stop working. I deleted it and downloaded it but it still is not working. Is there a fix for this?

Do you have the current FaceBook app version installed?
Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
If not, any change after deleting and reinstalling the app?
