Have newest version of software, but wont load apps
Can anyone help me? I have an iPod touch (new in 2009, don't know what that means for generation?). I have been using it (uploading/updating apps, uploading music and pics, etc.) with no problem until about a month ago. When I connected the Touch to my computer and wanted to both update and upload some new apps, it says "19+ apps were not installed on iPod because it requires a newer version of software". Well, I have the newest version of the software. I even checked for updates on the summary page. iOS software is version 4.2.1 and when I try to update it says that iPod software 4.2.1 is the current version of the software.
I thought maybe because my iPod touch is so old, that now all the apps are incompatible. Until today.
My husband got a new iPhone and gave me his old one. I was so excited! So....I reset the phone and went to sync all of my apps to the new phone. Low and behold, I am still getting the same error message as above. This should not happen! His is an iPhone 3 and I'm sure newer than my iTouch.
Can anyone help me please? As you can probably tell by my descriptions, I'm not the most tech savvy person. However, all I know that I can do to fix this situation, I've done. I'm completely confused and really could use any and all help that you can provide!!!
Thank you!
LLaass....What do I do if I have no older version to use? Is there somewhere I can get it?
Niel...I did do the update from iTunes on my computer. That's the only way I've ever done my updates.
This is so frustrating!!! I thought you should 'always' update when asked. Now, because I did, I basically can't use my devices. I'm starting to hate Apple a bit, in that you have to constantly buy their new products. Why bother?
Thank you to both Niel and llaass for your quick answers. I really appreciate it!

How can I have 2 versions of Numbers but only 1 app? Read
This is the weirdest thing I ever saw. It's driving me crazy and making me look like fool.
In an earlier post I mentioned that something happened to my numbers. The window looked very different from this afternoon when I created 2 new spread-sheets. I must have sounded crazy to qinn below in my answer.
Now I clicked the Numbers icon in the dock and it opened to my original Numbers 09 (2.3). So I tried to open a sheet I created a few hours ago and it says I can't open that file, I need a later version of Numbers. OMG
Just a though so I opened the finder, went to the applications folder and I only have ONE Numbers.app. So I clicked on that and low-and-behold the new 3.2.2 opened!!!!!!!
How can I have 2 versions of numbers but only one app???? I thought I was going crazy. Now I know something isn't right.
HELP PLEASE!!!
AllenHi Allen,
Look in your Applications folder for an other folder "iWork '09".
Breathe.

Loaded the newest version of software for I-Pod mini
We loaded the newest version of software for our mini and now there are no songs showing on the I-pod anymore. How do we get the music from the library back onto the I-Pod? HELP!
Downloading music that you do not have the rights to is illegal, so no, I can't help you out with those songs.
Sorry!
Plus, Limewire is a fantastic way to get viruses, key loggers, and spyware on your computer, as you are creating a direct link to other computers, including those of hackers and spammers. -
hello friends i have a problem in my ipod touch 3g it has 4.2.1 version of software but it doesnot supports any apps so how to update the ios 5 or more than this please anybody help me..i am in trouble.
I suspect you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
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.
Otherwise connect to yor computer and update via iTunes. Yo need iTunes 10 or later on the computer.
To more easily find compatilbe apps for 4.2.1
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

I'm trying to install the newest version of iTunes but it's saying the version i have isn't new enough for me to update it. This makes no sense to me... how do I get the newest version?
I Think it is telling you your computer operating system is too old for the newest update.
What are you running? -
I am trying to update my iphone 5 to the newest version (7.4) but it says I do not have enough space on my computer to update, though I have 8GB. Shouldbnt this be more than enough space? I have tried every trouble shooting option and get the same pop up-
Have you tried doing an over the air update on the iPhone instead?

I try to download the newest version of iTunes, but get the following message: "Install iTunes.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5." What do I do now?
I have Mac OS X 10.4.11, and don't know how to upgrade to 10.5.Here are ways to update to Lion (Mac OS X 10.7):
http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
It requires you to have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) installed, which can be obtained from the Apple Store.
You being on Mac OS X 10.4 makes it an old system, 10.6 and 10.7 require an Intel processor at least with Lion demanding an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor.
What system do you have? -
I am operating a 2009 desktop Mac OsX 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to a current operating system? Do I need to purchase Snow Leopard? I have clicked update my software but see now changes.
You first must upgrade to Snow Leopard. In order to upgrade to Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks you first must upgrade to Snow Leopard. Your model should be able to run Mavericks which you can download for free.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Remember to do the following before starting the upgrade process:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Restart the computer from the Apple menu.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -
IPhone will connect to network but wont load any internet pages.
OK, I have an iPhone (1.1.1) and an apple airport graphite base station which is connected to a D-Link G604T router.
iPhone will connect to the airport but wont load any internet pages. My iBook works fine on the internet when connected to the airport.
Any ideas?
Thnanks.Daniel Langer,
Make sure the graphite base station is configured as a bridge, and not assigning IP addresses itself if the D-Link is doing DHCP.
If it is acting as a router, you will have NAT occurring twice, which can have a variety of issues.
Hope this helps,

this is not fun.You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one. -

I have been suggested to down grade to 10.6.6 due to issues with Adobe and Apple working things out. I have downloaded 10.6.6 but wont let me install. Any ideas?
Yes, simply reinstall from your Snow Leopard installer disc. The reinstall will not erase the hard drive. After reinstalling you can upgrade to 10.6.6 with your updater.
