iOS 4.2.1 is the last iOS supported on that device.
You will not be able to run newer iOS apps, but you still can choose from well over 60,000 vintage iOS apps.
The trick is finding them. One way you could try,

There are other easier ways also.

  • How do you get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch

    How do I get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch?

    By updating the iOS on the iPOd.  The 1G can go as high as 3.1.3.  That works with a lot of apps.  But some apps require a higher iOS and/or newer iPod.

    Re: how to get apps for iphone 3g 4.2.1 all apps support higher version help....

    I still have an old 3G which I use mostly as a ipod/radio. By accident I found you can overide the i-tunes block.
    1. Select Apps in Apps store icon on the phone.
    2. Choose App to download
    3.  At "Instal" button press it QUICKLY in blocks of 3 presses, keep doing  this until it overides the i-tune warning, then if there were legacy  versions for os 4.2.1 it says something like "this app is for os 5 or  above", but gives you a choice to download an older version. Select  this.
    Sometimes  it says the Apps is for newer hardware, requiring motion sensors, front  camera's etc.. just got to accept these ones don't work on legacy  hardware.
    4.  Download does not work for all Apps, esp. newer ones written after os  4.21 or if the developer doesn't have the vintage apps archived- e.g.  Instagram downloads, but won't run (wants to update), or WSJ and Barrons  stalls and goes through a download loop.
    I am not making this up, as I bought this old 3g unit on e-bay, after a complete factory reset I now have:
    -  Tune-in, FB, Pandora,Skype, Twitter, Bloomberg, MSNBC, Forbes,  Marketwatch, Viber, amongst a host of other news apps like LATimes.
    Some Apps will download ok, and then at activation says its too old and no longer supported e.g Whats App.
    Otherwise,  good luck. Tune-in, Pandora, Skype and Twitter is all I need to keep me  happy with an old unit, even though I've got newer hardware. Never let  anything die unnaturally.

  • Where do I get apps for a PowerPC? Do the ones from the App Store work on it?

    I bought this computer for my dad from someone and had no idea it was a PowerPC or what that meant. I found out it was different when I bought a program for it and it didnt work because it was a PowerPC. Where do I get apps for this computer? It is a G4 and has 10.5.8 software.

    The PowePC processor was abandoned in 2006 so it's hard today to find new software that supports it. PPC compatibility is a function of the software developers, not where you buy. Example, TurboTax still runs on G4 computers. Most, however, does not.
    You can still get copies of Office 2008 here:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Microsoft/GZA00006/
    It was the last version that ran on PPC. I have it on a PPC G4 1.25Ghz tower and a 1Ghz G4 PowerBook and it runs fine.
    There are free suites that do what Office can. There is a PPC version of NeoOffice on this page:
    http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/download.php
    You can get  PPC version of NeoOffice here, also free:
    http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
    If you post what kind of software you feel Dad needs, we can come up with some other suggestions. The software is out there, but takes some looking.
    A Mac User Group may be your best resource for older software. This page will help you find one close:

  • Can I get Apps for my Ipod version 3.1.3

    Hello
    I have looked for apps for music like garage band, music recording related, then I thought I would just settle for a Uchre game.  I have a very old ipod version 3.1.3 (7E18) .   Thanks TR@aim4you

    Sorry to report, Apple is the only place you can get those apps, & Apple are no longer accepting apps with deployment targets earlier iOS versions.
    That said, you might try contact the developers of those earlier apps to see what they say.

  • How to see AppStore & get apps for iPad in English from overseas?

    The Facts (ma'am):
    I just received a new iPad as a gift. It was purchased in Russia, where I am going to be located for some time.
    My Apple account is in USA, where I am from and where I bank. I created it when I was there in 2009 and bought a MacBook Pro direct from Apple.
    I want to get iPad apps for Skype and Facebook in English.
    I configured the iPad with my U.S. Apple account credentials. I set the OS language set to English and did all other settings for USA and English (afaik).
    Location services are OFF in System Preferences.
    The (Aggravating) Problem:
    When I click the AppStore icon on the iPad the AppStore comes up in RUSSIAN, despite the settings. I speak a little Russian but don't read it. My Russian wife cannot see any way to switch it to English.
    The (Possibly Stupid) Questions:
    With a U.S. Apple account configured and all System Prefrences except time zone set for USA/English, is it possible to access AppStore and apps in English while physically located in Russia?
    If yes... HOW???
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Unfortunately, not at this time. Language is pre-set by the store nationality.

  • How can I get apps for my MacBook Air, iTunes only shows iPad and iPhone apps?

    You would have to go to the Mac App Store in order to find apps for your mac.

  • How to get apps for ipod touch 3g

    I have ipod touch 3g. Recently i  have restored it without backing up. Other words, i lost all apps that i had. So, now i cannot install any apps because all of them have the newest IOS. Where can i find apps with old IOS for ipod 3g?
    Thank you.

    - First, yo really have a 2G iPod. A 2G can only go to 4.2.1 while a 3G can go to 5.1.1
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    For the apps you had:
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • 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.

  • A way to get apps for 2nd gen ipod touch?

    Well i posted before on this issue, i got my ipod screen replaced and i restored it, once i got it back i attempted to redownload all my apps from my purchased section of itunes, they all downloaded attempted to transfer to my ipod and only a few like 5 installed. Upon some research majorioty of the apps i bought and had updated to require ios 5 or at least above the max 2g 4.2.1. So now im out games i bought, and im not going to replace a perfectly fine ipod just because a requirement changed. I did not have any backup or previous sync as was using a new install of windows and itunes so nothing was backup. I was never notified on app update and to accept or decline it as they didnt ipdate from my pc files or from my ipod. Its the only way they can be downloaded from itunes and no way to download the old version that is compatible on my touch. I would of went to apple support but the get started button on the support screen is broke and when clicked does nothing, no loading signs just a broken button. This did not work with firefox or google chrome nor does it work with explorer. So beside i've been ripped off on my apps, apparently they dont want me contacting support, def feel like a valued customer

    Trying to get the old versions of the apps, i paid for the apps and they previously worked with my ipod without a warning i no longer have a compatible device that can use these apps as the requirements changed, if i had a backup of the older versions i would have used them.
    If u paid for something and it worked and then all the sudden u could no longer use it because some small change that you had no choice to do or not to do, and then ur money was spent on useless items ud be happy? I cant use facebook, unblock me, angry birds, or over half my apps and some that have no reason to be updated to iOs 5 as there are super simple games/apps.
    Also since the support button does not work I'm trying to get the attention of a moderator or someone who can help me get some where.
