Downloading OLDER version of ipod software
Does anyone know how to safely change back to a previous version of IPOD software? I allowed my itunes version and ipod software to update a couple of weeks ago and have had trouble since. Someone told me to go back a version, but the problem is my ipod, not itunes. At least, I believe this b/c the files play fine in Itunes, but mess up on my Ipod. So, if anyone knows how to safely revert ipod software, please let me know. Thank you!
PS -- my IPOD is the 80 gig video, if that helps. Thanks.
The process for changing it back to an older version of software would be the Restore process. The only difference is that an older version of the iPod software would get installed after the iPod is erased. If you have not tried using Restore with the most current iTunes, you should definitely try that first.
If you read about people having problems after a Restore, it is likely because they are having hardware problems with their iPod. In those cases (hardware issue), doing a Restore is not going to resolve the problem. However, in most cases, it is a software issue and doing a Restore will resolve the problem. When it works, almost no one bothers to post in the forum that +they did a Restore and it worked+, so you don't read about the times when it worked, only about the times when it did not work. And when it does not work, it's probably due to a hardware problem.
The other problem reported often is with the 4th gen iPod (click wheel). That model needs to be plugged into the power adapter as the last step of the Restore process. Some second-hand owners don't have a power adapter (it comes with that iPod model), so the first time they need to do a Restore, they are stuck and their iPod is bricked.

How to revert to older version of ipod software
The latest 1.0.3 iPod upgrade screwed up my iPod. Some artists don't show up under the Artists, All Artists or Genre menus. I have to go under All Albums or All songs under a submenu to find them. In iTunes things are fine, and when I connect my iPod and browse the music on the iPod using iTunes, things are fine. It's only on the iPod things are screwed up. I've tried changing the MP3 tag information on the names, genre, etc. numerous times to no avail.
And only since 1.0.3.
Is there a way to revert to the prior (I assume 1.0.2) version of iPod software? Resetting the iPod stupidly puts back 1.0.3 again. I don't see where I can download 1.0.2 or any iPod version anywhere.
RaulWell. go to http://spr33.co.uk/wp/archives/downgrading-apple-ipod-firmware-102-101 and dolwload the "iPod_24.1.0.1.ipsw" then press the shift button when clicking restore locat the file and then you are downgrading!
The problem is I could only find 1.0.1! I'm serching for 1.0.2 right now! -
I've had this issue a couple times now. I have a iPod touch. It is a couple years old, but still new enough to have dual cameras. There have been a couple apps I've tried to load, and it tells me I need a new version of iPod software. I go to the iPod software version screen, and it tells me I have the latest version available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
KurtSee if you can download the last compatible version 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.
If not successful then you need a newer model iPod if you want to use that app -
when I syn ipod in itunes it will not download ibook and states that it needs newest version of software for ipod but when I try to udate ipod it states it has newest version. (chasing my tail). I cannot down load books from itunes to ipod and I feel this is problem. I have had it for 3 years and no problem downloading till now
The following is applicable:
If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

Is there some way to download older versions of games that will run in an iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1? I want to give my old device to a child who recently went through a hard time and his device was damaged. It is no use if it only has music on it. Thanks!
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

How do I reinstall an older version of the software on my IPod touch? Installed the latest update and now it no longer works in my car.
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.
You may leave comments at Apple Feedback. -
My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately. This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.
Here's a couple things to try:
1. Reset the iPod by holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
2. Uninstall and reinstall one of your purchased apps. Sometimes this can rectify the issue.
3. Connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it. New system software usually resolves the issue. Make sure you sync before restoring because a restore removes the data from your iPod.
Hope one of these works for you! -

Please help. I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes so I can synch my new iPhone. I keep getting "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group." Please help as I have absolutely no idea. Thanks.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
How do I download older versions of apps for my iPod?
How do I download older versions of apps which I purchased for my iPod Touch to my computer? I am using iOS 4.2.1 and many apps have been updated to no longer work on older iPods. I know I need to go to the iTunes store but there isn´t a navigation from there.
You can't download them; you can only sync previously downloaded copies from your iTunes library.

Trying to uninstall and download itunes keep getting message "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed contact support group. There must be a hidden file I can't find.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

How Do I Remove Older Versions of iPod for Windows
According to my Add/Remove Programs utility I have iPod for Windows versions 3.8, 4.3, and 4.7 installed on my PC. It appears that these older versions take up quite a bit of memory; however, I am hesitant to try to remove these older versions using this utility because I am afraid of wreaking some sort of irreversible havoc.
Anybody know about this?If you are running the latest version of iTunes (7.1.1.5), then I believe that removing these past versions of iPod software off your computer shouldn't be a problem at all (since now iTunes 7 does not need a standalone iPod updater application).
To install the latest version of iTunes, see this download page:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
Or, if you don't want to download the latest version of iTunes, just delete the previous versions of iPod software (like 3.8 and 4.3), and keep the latest one on your computer.
