How do I find Apps for 2nd gen Touch?

Recently I replaced my 2nd generation Touch with one of the same version from the Apple store because the battery died. Now I'm having trouble finding Apps that work on it. Most won't download and I get a message that says ios outdated. Any suggestions on how to find Apps that work?

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

How do I find apps for 2nd gen ipod

I've been trying to download games for my son on this ipod touch but almost every game needs iOS 4.3 or higher! I just bought this thing- how can I download older games for him?

It's probably like looking for software for my G4 computer. You have to hunt around in a slow and methodical process and realize that fewer and fewer people develop for older platforms. Right now about 95% of my software is no longer being updated for my platform. You just stick with the old stuff. Make sure you have it backed up because developers sometimes remove old versions from download.

How do I find apps for an ipod touch 2.2.1

I have an old ipod touch and am trying to find apps for it. My version is 2.2.1. The apps I try to download say my system is not updated. Help!

See the google search technique mentioned by PC1234 in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19298842#19298842 and change the 3.1 to 2.2. This will give show you thousands of apps.

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.

Bought Nike+ for 2nd gen touch, doesnt sense it, help please

I bought a new Nike+ sensor for my 2nd gen touch and right out of the box it wouldnt work. It told me to walk around to activate the sensor, but i can walk for 10 minutes and nothing, so i decided to ask the people that actually know something about ipods... thanks
p.s. tried to wake it up, tried settings and calibrations, and checked for software updates

Did you happen to activate the touch to work with the sensor? You have to turn it on in Settings > Nike + iPod.

TS1702 how do I find apps for the Ipod version 3.1.3 for the Ipod touch in Itunes?! Is there no more apps for the first gen Ipod? I've tried and tried and googled and can't find a single app that will install on this old Ipod. Please help!

I recently had an Ipod first gen with Ios 3.1.3 fixed and am in need of finding games for my son to play, but I cannot for the life of me find any games or any apps that can be installed on this Ipod! every time I download something and try to install it, Itunes keeps telling me that the app requires a newer Ios! There isn't any new Ios version for this ipod that I can find. Itunes won't install any newer version of Ios, and no new apps can be found that can be installed. Please help me.

iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

Unable to install and use apps that i previously bought for 2nd gen touch as they all require iOS 4.3.

Just found out that majority of the apps that i previously purchased and worked with my 2nd gen ipod touch with iOS 4.2.1, will not work as they are incompatible because the required iOS is 4.3. They worked before and now i have apps that i bought just sitting there being unused because they require an iOS update which 2g touchs have been at 4.2.1 forever. Thanks for taking my money and the apps that i paid for, and now are unusable on my ipod touch, and im def not going to be buying a new one just to use the apps.

They were installed before my ipod got its screen repaired, i restored it, and when i got it back i re downloaded all the apps from my purchased section, and only a few were able to be installed, i didnt see any app updates for requirements until they didnt work

Finding iOS2 Apps for 1st Gen Touch

So I've just got a hand me down 1st gen touch and I restored it as the easiest way to personalise it to be mine. The backup did not work so I've lost all the apps that were on it other than the iOs apps. When I go into the App Store on it to find new apps there is no apparent way to just view iOS 2 compliant apps. I'm tearing my hair out just trying to find a solitaire app.
Any suggestions?
BTW just made the sticky Home button much better with the alcohol trick.

There is no way to view apps by iOS version. And it's highly unlikely you'll find any that will work with iOS 2. I'd suggest you upgrade to iOS 3.1.3. See:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
You'll then at least have a chance of finding apps that you can run, though there are fewer and fewer as developers update to support the newer versions of iOS. Again you'll just have to look app by app. Looking in appshopper.com may make it easier.

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.

Need to find 4.1 for 2nd gen Touch

I'm posting this for a friend who is stuck on Tiger and cannot upgrade to iTunes 10, which apparently is required to run IOS 4.2. For whatever reason, she had not upgraded her IOS since version 2.something. Now the only option available to her when she's connected to iTunes is IOS 4.2. Does anyone know where she could obtain IOS 4.1, or has Apple removed all links to it?

Perhaps you didn't understand. Upgrading the OS on the Mac is not an option. It's a work computer, and the company either cannot (for whatever reason) or will not upgrade the OS.
