Have Apple removed the "Last Compatible Version" option from the App Store ?

Hi,
I got an iPad 2 and am giving my dad my old iPad 1. Apple recently let you download the latest version of an app for the version of iOS you were on, this worked fine on my AppleID and I was able to download the last compatible version of every app I wanted. But since i restored this iPad and created an email address and AppleID for my Dad, any app requiring iOS6 or higher is giving me the same message as it did before Apple made the change, as in you need to upgrade to iOS 6 (not possible on iPad 1). I dont understand why its doing this, any idea why its done this now ?.
Thanks in advance

You'll need to download the existing current version of the App before you get the option for a compatible version.
You can do this from a compatible device or a computer running iTunes using your Dad's Apple ID so the Apps are associated with it.
Once you've downloaded the Apps you want on a compatible device or a computer running iTunes you can then go to the Purchased Tab in the App Store App on the first gen iPad to get the last compatible version for the first gen iPad.
Note that not all Apps may have compatible versions available.

I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
Can all download them someway?
thanks

The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

If you mean the DL appears to be stalled give it about half an hour, if there's no movement restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

I have a problem installing the last two versions available from Itunes!

I was installing the itunes upgrades (the most recent, and the second most recent), with all the new major changes in itunes. It was going well until both times, I incountered an error message. The first one says: Module P:\my music\iTunes\ITDetector.oxc failed to register. HRELUST -2147024894. Contact your support personnel.
I tried to retry, but nothing happened. Then I ignored it, and another message came up saying the same thing, except: P:\My Music\iTunes\iTunesAdmin.dll, instead of the other address. "Ignoring" that, and I got the same, but this time: P:\.....\iPodUpdaterExt.dll. Then: ...\CDDBControlApple.dll, and finally a message saying: Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes. --Reinstalling never worked for me-- I always would repair, and get the same messages.
Finally, when I start up iTunes, I get a message saying: Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you want iTunes to be able to retrieve CD information from the internet, you need to reinstall iTunes.
Otherwise, iTunes seems to run fine!

okay. let's try working through the general advice from this document:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
but if no joy with that, let's try getting an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

How can I open a Numbers file to the last cell used on from the previous saving of that file?

In Excel, the .xls file would always open on the the cell location where the file was previously saved. Very nice to have feature when the file is long ,so one does not have to keep scrolling down the page to make the next entry every time the file is opened.
Can Numbers do this? I can't find an option for it.
After opening a file, I must always scroll down to the last entry or where I want to start inputting data. What a pain.
Is there a way to open a numbers file to where one was located when it was previously saved?
Anybody know? Please help.
Thanks

CF,
When I Save a Numbers document with a cell Selected and then close the document, the same cell is still selected when I reopen the document. Isn't that what you are asking for? Furthermore, if I have chosen 100% zoom scale, the selected cell is displayed in the same screen position as when it was last saved. What you may be seeing that you don't care for is that if the zoom is other than 100% the table's position in the display window may be different than at the last Save.

How to get the last sub folder value from the string in Webi report

I have an object coming from universe, this object will contain string e.g. \\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample\
or \\Users\Doc\BI\BO\Webi\
I need the last sub folder from this path to be displayed i.e. Sample and Webi.
I would like to know how it can be done.
I tried using formulas like POS, SubStr and Length. however the issue is that the length of the the sting is not fixed and the number of "\" are also not fixed.
I would appreciate any help regarding this.
Regards,
Yogesh

Hi,
What is the formula you have written though?.
=length(right([folderpath]);pos([folderpath];"\")+1)
Thanks,
Jothi

Is it possible to remove the "All My Files" option from the Go menu in the Finder?

Is it possible to modify the Go menu in the Finder to remove items like "All My FIles"?

No. :)

I sthere any way to complete uninstall the "manage search bar" option from the right side?

I found this option very annoying. I want to uninstall the "manage search bar"utility completely from my Firefox.

My version of Firefox Mozilla, 3.6.3, for Windows XP SP2, shows on the "Navigational Toolbar", back and forward buttons, reload, cancel and home buttons, followed by the address bar, where you can writer web addresses, and on the right side, I have this utility, "Manage Search Engines", that looks like another address bar. I want to uninstall it completely. I don't see how I can do that. I mean, keep all the buttons intact, the address bar intact, and get rid of this tool. Thanks again.

Last compatible version not functioning on iPhone 3G 4.2.1

Hi there! I have an old iPhone 3G that I'm using for a little bit, and when I try to download Gmail (among other apps) it says that I need, at the least, iOS 6. Which is difficult since the 3G only went up to 4.2.1. I understand from google searching that there's supposed to be a feature where the phone offers the "last compatible version" so that users of older devices are able to still download the apps. However, this option is not appearing for me. I've tried installing both from the device and from my computer with no dice.
What can I do?
Thanks very much!

Which app versions are available in the App Store is entirely up to the app developer. Many do not support or make available versions compatible with old hardware or iOS. Contact the app developer.

Last compatible version for iOS6

I am not upgrading to iOS7. They have a feature with the App Store that is SUPPOSED to tell you that the current version is not compatible, and if you would like to download the last compatible version for your device. When I click on this app in the store, it is telling me that I need to install iOS7 without asking me about downloading an older version. What is going on?

After 3 days spent on this matter I run out of it. I'm happily out of this nightmare, thanks to this community, sure not to Apple.
Now I still have ios6 on iPhone4. Still don't like it, but at at least I have my phone back and working.
What I can say is that:
- there's no way do downgrade and ios6 to 5.1.1 unless you have the help of Steve Job's soul. There are many links and hints all around the web, but variabilities are so many that you don't want to really deal with. Little hidden files you have to save before, little unknow programs you have to run after, etc, etc..
I'm a normal guy with a normal need: a phone working, and didn't want to deal with all that stuff.
- there's a version of iTunes, apparently developed for developers in order to test ios6 on PPC. It's still the 10.6.3 mentioned above by Wallace, but this one works; it's the one I used this morning. Here the discussion and download link:

Thanks to all, this community is just fantastic.
Shame on Apple.

How do I remove the "Dock" option from the Apple Dropdown Menu

I work for a school district where I am continuosly having to go back into Mac labs and reverting the settings on the dock back to normal. Students are changing the size, position and content of the dock, as well as hiding the dock. These computers are used by students k-6 and the younger children are getting confused when they com in and they cannot find the dock or its not where it is supposed to be. I have been able to lock the sizing, position and content of the dock but am not finding a way to elimante the hiding of the dock. Preferably I would like to remove the "dock option from the Apple dropdown menu. Please help!!!!

This question was asked quite a while ago and the suggestion was to use Server Admin Tools, which I know nothing about. You'll have to look into that. If these Macs are running off a server, then this might work for you. I'm seeing that Server Admin Tools from Apple is still current.
