How can I download an older version of iBooks?

I want to use iBooks on my (old) 2nd gen ipod touch. I bought a book for it. When I try to download, of course, the latest version is not compatible...but it asks me if I want to download an older version. I say yes. The greyed-out icon appears, "waiting" to download...and then disappears. Nothing.
I have tried both installing iBooks from app store on my ipod touch and also clicking "install" in the apps section of my ipod from my computer's itunes store. Didn't work.
Anyone know what I can do, please?

Have a read of this thread:
Any games for ipod 2nd generation?
You could also Google apps for iPod Touch 2nd gen.

  • I have an older G5 tower Power PC and the OS 10.5.8, but the firefox and safari browers are no longer supporting this computer. How can I download an older version that works with this computer?

    I have an older G5 tower Power PC and the OS 10.5.8, but the firefox and safari browers are no longer supporting this computer. How can I download an older version that works with this computer?
    Or what is the newest OS system I can load onto this computer?
    I think it is from 2006

    Hello,
    10.5.8 is the highest OSX it can run.
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...

    I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
    SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

    Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.

  • How can I get an older version of ibooks?

    Sorry if this question has previously been answered....I cant find a direct answer.
    I purchased a 1st gen ipad in pristine condition.  Unfortunately I cannot find an older version of ibooks anywhere. istore will not allow me to install the newer version because of compatibility issues. ( I have OS 5.1.1 ) I am not offered a compatible version through the store. Reading is important to me and I love the ipad. Is there anything I can do?  Thanks in advance.

    HI! I have a somewhat similar problem I have an iPad with an iOS 5. I already have downloaded the iBooks and been using it for a long time. The problem is that i used my Apple ID on an iPhone 4 with an updated iOS 7 and downloaded iBooks on that device. When i checked my iPad, i can't access the iBooks anymore. It started to reinstall by itself but it is only installing halfway. Same problem i have with my Twitter app. I have already logged out my Apple ID on the iPhone 4 and tried to reinstall iBooks on my iPad but its says that it is already iBook 3 and that it is only compatible with iOS 7. How can I reinstall the older version of iBooks without losing all the books that I have placed on it? Please, i badly need your help. Thank you!

  • How can i get an older version of Ibooks for my Ipad 1?

    how can i get an older version of Ibooks for my Ipad 1?
    Since I have Ibooks 3.0.2 I can't start Ibooks on my Ipad1.

    For iBooks try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
    You can also try similar for the Kindle app - I don't know whether Amazon have made older versions of their app available in the store, so it may not work for that. If not, then as a work-around you could use their cloud reader 'app' : http://read.amazon.com - go to that site on Safari on your iPad and then create a homescreen shortcut for it (kindle cloud reader help)

  • I had an old version of firefox & it made me upgrade to a newer version, however once I upgraded it said it does not work with my Mac that is a OS 10.4 & not I cannot access or download firefox, how can I download a older version for my Mac?

    I had firefox on my computer and it made me download the newer version, but once I downloaded it, it said it does not work on my computer which is a Mac OS 10.4 and now I cannot use firefox at all on my computer. How do I download an older version that will work on my computer?

    As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs at least OSX 10.5+ and Intel hardware.
    The latest you can use on your Intel with OSX 10.4.11 is Firefox 3.6.25 (released recently) which can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    If you were to update to say OSX 10.5.8 then you can use Firefox 9.0.1

  • I am using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 (a speech recognition software) to navigate through Firefox, but ever since I downloaded the newest version of Firefox how can I download some older versions?

    ever since I downloaded the newest version of Firefox, my Dragon NaturallySpeaking hasn't been working very well. For example, I will say "click register" or "click contact us" to select links and buttons on websites. Before this worked fine, but now it hardly works at all, which makes me think that because I am using a Dragon NaturallySpeaking program from 2007 or 2008, that it just doesn't know how to handle a program like Mozilla Firefox six that was written after its time. Or maybe it's the operating system? I was running an older version of Mozilla on Windows XP and now I am on Microsoft's seven.
    What I want to try is to download an older version of Mozilla Firefox to see if the problems go away. I don't know if that would mean I would use Mozilla five or four, but I would like to try both. How can I do this, when I go to the website it says "you have the most updated version" and will let me access in the winter versions click post question that post question

  • How can I download an older version of Safari (5.0.5 or lower)?

    To run software with an AP French textbook, I have to download an older version of Safari.  5.0.5 is the newest version I could use.  How can I find an appropriate version to download?  This is to use www.successnetplus.com with Allons au dela.

    Hi Katy
    http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110722154439693
                                       or
    http://www.macworld.com/article/161367/2011/07/revert_safari.html
    but download 5.0.5
    which is  forcing the install using Pacifist from http://charlessoft.com/
                                           or
    (re)install the 10.6.8 1.1 combo (1+ GB) which does overwrite safari 5.1 with 5.0.5
    followed by checking software update
    the first is quickest, but requires using Terminal
    another browser is easiest if you can find something suitable, since you'll retain the latest safari.

  • How can I download an older version of Firefox before 3.6

    I am trying to do transcription from a website. I did one file before my typing stopped showing up in the "box." I emailed the company and they suggested downloading an older version than 3.6. ('Doesn't make sense to me, but I guess I had better try what they advise before complaining any more to them.) I can't find instructions to download '''pre'''-3.6 version.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/
    For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version that runs on a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • How can i download an older version of garageband and iMovie?

    I have my MacBook updated to the latest version it can be. OS X 10.7.5 I want to download iMovie and garageband but i can't since I need a newer software version. Is there a way to download an older version of the 2 apps?

    What you wish to do can't currently be done in the Mac App Store. There are rumors older versions may be available in the future.

  • How can i download an older version of pages for late 2007 macbook running osx lion

    i would like to download an older version of the pages for late 2007 macbook running osx lion

    If you previously bought Pages from the Mac App Store, click here and follow the instructions, or go to the Mac App Store main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.
    If not, buy an iWork 09 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

  • How can I download the old version of ibooks that will operate with 5.1? I cannot download the new version in order to get a compatable one!!

    have read the 'help' given for this question from another ipad owner --which was to download the current version and then might be able to get a compatable version --- but the new version will not download -- just tells me I have to upgrade to version 6 which is not possible on the 1st generation ipad! I cannot understand why the older versions of ibooks and Kindle are not avilable for those of us who cannot afford to buy the new ipads. Please can anyone help?!!!!

    Sorry, but you can't.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Where can I download an older version of ibooks for my 2nd gen touch?

    My Ipod touch crashed, then when I tried to restore from a back up it said the back up was corrupt!
    I now have no way of reading any of my books.
    When I move my books from Itunes to my ipod I get a message telling me that I must install Ibooks to read any of my books. But as I have a 2nd gen Ipod i cannot download the new ibooks
    Is there anyway I can download an old version of Ibooks or use another app to read them? I have tried installing kindle and stanza but they require a newer IOS.
    I have installed ereader but it can't locate any books in my library...
    I'm more than a little annoyed! Can someone help?

    Well, when I pay several hundred dollars for something, I expect to be able to use it for more than a couple years.
    Your iPod stopped working, did it?
    and no, my 2nd gen iPod does NOT do anything even close to what it did when I bought it.
    I don't believe that for an instant. List one thing that your iPod was advertised or otherwise promised by Apple to do when you bought it that it doesn't do now. And I don't mean apps that you failed to download when they were issued in a version that would run on iOS 4.2.1 and that now require a newer version of iOS.
    In any case, if you're that unhappy, go buy an Android device, then. But I suggest you price them out first. You may find that they're really not cheaper, particularly if you want to keep up with anything like current Android releases. I doubt anyone here really cares if you find some other product you think suits you better.

  • How can I download an older version of an app?

    *sigh* Okay. Let me begin.
    So I have the iPod Touch 2nd generation, whose firmware is 4.2.1. It won't update any further than that. Since basically every app in the iTunes Store is only for iOS5 or 6, I can't download any more apps.
    I had a few apps from when my firmware was actually acceptable and have kept them since. But today I did a restore (I backed it up, too!) but it somehow updated all my apps to the most recent versions which are not compatible with my iPod. I don't know where the old ones went. Not in the trash. Nowhere to be found.
    I think for Words With Friends, my iPod can handle version 5.30 and nothing newer. But I tried to download it off a few different websites and iTunes is giving me syncing errors. I think I need to download it directly from the company (through the App Store or something which only offers the most recent: 6.01 or something similar).
    But I don't know how to do this. Any suggestions?
    I am a very disappointed Apple user. I'm beyond frustrated with this. Same flipping thing with my Apple computer. Bought it a few years ago and can't download anything on it anymore since the programs don't support my operating system.

    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.
