How can I force-install iOs5/6 apps on my iPod Touch?

Hi, I have an iPod touch version 4.3.5 (ML1). Model is MC540C.
The App Store sometimes bars me from installing apps because the app has a minimum requirement of iOS 5 or 6. How can I force my iPod to install these apps anyway?

No, it is more than the screen dimension.
You have a 4G iPod, why not update?
To update:
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer

  • I can no longer install 3rd party apps to my ipod touch

    When I try to install a 3rd party app, it begins the download, the new icon appears on the screen for about 1.5 seconds, and then the icon disappears and no download occurs. This happens 100% of the time.
    My Apple ID on the iPod Touch is the same as the one for my iPhone. I can download apps for the iPhone no problem.
    This iPod is running iOS4.2.1.

    Have you tried resetting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like discusssed here:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    - Try to make a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup
    - Restore the iPod from backup and sync as necessary.

  • How do I delete unwanted built in apps from my ipod touch ios 5.1.1

    How do I delete unwanted built in apps from my iPod Touch, ios 5.1.1?  I want to conserve memory on my device.

    Well, you can't delete them totally...but you could stop using them or reset them. Just erase everything you use in those apps. You could also block them using parental controls, this will take them off your home screen but no, you cannot completely delete these apps.
    Hope this helps you

    Pretty sure there never was iTunes 4.2.1 and if there was, it did not work with the iPod touch (any version).
    Do you mean iOS 4.2.1?

  • HOW THE **** DO I DELETE A DOWNLOADING APP ON MY IPOD TOUCH?!?!?

    Recently my friend's son went on my ipod touch, he played a few games then saw an advertisment for Tap Pet Shop and Tap Zoo and he wanted to play them so he downloaded the apps. This morning i found these 2 grayed out apps on my ipod touch, i've tried deleting them via holding down the app for 5 seconds then waiting for the X but there was no X, i tried to delete the apps by downloading them through the computer then deleting the download through itunes but i can't do that either, it's taking up space on my ipod touch. It ridiculous and i want to know how to delete them now. I've already had a look on these forums for a answers and i have tried all of these solutions, but none of them work at all.
    HELP!

    All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read.  Many simply do not read such posts.
    The font and size of your post are very difficult to read as well.  You may want to post in normal font and without all caps.
    Good luck

  • Can I transfer progress from the apps on my iPod touch 4g to my iPhone 4s?

    I just bought an iPhone 4s and I have had an iPod Touch 4g for a couple of months. I have downloaded many apps to my iPod and I have many gaming apps and I want to know how I can transfer the progress from the games from my iPod touch to my new iPhone. I don't want to start over on all of my games. I know that there was an option when setting up my iPhone 4s that said start as new or restore from backup, but i selected start as new. Is there any way that I can still do it?

    Make sure you are in the USA App store.

  • How can I re-install Craigslist paid app on iPad 2

    Started by trying the free version of Craigslist from App Stoet. Liked it enough to pony up the $0.99 for the real thing (paid version) from the App Store but didn't delete free version first. Once I saw that I had both the free AND paid versions installed, I inadvertently deleted the paid version. Now I can't re-install the paid version. When I go to my purchased apps in the app store, even though it's nowhere to be found on any screen, the app says that it's already installed and the 'install/installed' button is grayed out.
    I should also point out that I CAN re-install the FREE version of the app, but not the $.99 version, even after deleting the free version and then rebooting my iPad.
    I contacted Laiflike Apps, but they said "...All this provisioning stuff is unfortunately handled by Apple so there's nothing we can do on our end...".
    Any recommendations?

    iPhoto for IOS question - I will request that it be moved
    You should simply go to the app store using the same Apple ID as you purchased it under and download again - of show apps not on this iPad and install

  • How can install the sonos app on my iPod touch?

    I want to use my old iPod as a remote control for my Sonos player, but can't seem to access or add any aps to it.  The iPod is running software version 1.1.5.

  • How can I create a playlist that syncs with my ipod touch 5 that plays both podcasts and music? Before updating to itunes 11 I was able to do it and now it seems that the power is gone. (I do not have the podcast app on my ipod touch 5)

    When apple first introduced the podcast app for my iphone I discovered that installing it took away the option to have a playlist (smart playlist or regular) that mixed music, audiobooks and podcasts. I therefore quickly uninstalled it and was happy to have my iOS devices happily mixing music and podcasts.
    With the push to itunes 11.1 and iOS 7 on my ipod Touch and ipad mini I no longer have mixed playlists. I do see (according to itunes) that the podcasts are copied to my devices but there doesn't seem any way to play them. Nor do my mixed format playlists contain them.
    When combined with the change to the podcast tab in itunes that shows all available by default and doesn't seem to offer any way to Turn it OFF so I can easily see what new unlistened to podcasts exist it seems that the way I got used to using my itunes since my ipod nano first generation has been eliminated. I haven't read why so if someone could point me to their logic on how come I would want the changes they keep trying to force on me I would at least understand their motives.
    If no one has a better fix I have discovered that I can declare the podcasts to be audiobooks and get them to play that way. One downside to that approach is that it doesn't clear them out of the podcast folder thanks to the change to the iCloud friendly format or whatever they were hoping for.

    And what is the wording of the error message?
