How do I restore the IOS 6 version of GarageBand on my Ipod Touch 4th Gen?

Does anyone else have this problem? 
I was trying to clear some memory space on my Ipod Touch 4th Gen 8GB.  I uninstalled GarageBand to get rid of the pesky Document & Data files.  Then I was going to reinstall it.  But when I did, the Itunes App Store downloaded the current IOS7 version.  My device was not updated to IOS7, and the lastest app will not install on it. 
Is there a way to get the IOS6 version of GarageBand to upload to my Ipod Touch 4th Gen at this point?  I feel kind of robbed.  I bought the app with the view that it would be good for the life of the device, not be invalidated when the next big IOS upgrade came around.  I have had this problem with a few other apps, but this app I use a lot.
Thanks for any help.

no I don't because my computer has been reinstalled fully since any of the old backups were done and even so, apps are stored in the itunes folders and not the backup files of the device. I have tried to contact apple/itunes and they don't want to know because I won't upgrade to a newer ipod touch that supports ios 7. I like my ipod touch 4th gen even though the wifi is damaged beyond repair. This is the way things are and big companies like apple expect people to upgrade to keep up with the latest version but the reality is that people don't because of the cost of the new devices.
I'll just have to deal with the fact that I cannot use it to read while on the bus/train any more. Ipod touch 4g is now just a music player/basic camera.

  • How do I delete the account of previous owner on my iPod Touch 4th Gen. ?

    I purchased an iPod 4th Gen. 8gb from a pawn shop. The previous owner's Apple I.D. is still on the iPod.  I am unable to
    update my apps because I don't have the password.  Is it possible to delete the previous owner's I.D. withouth
    the password?

    The best thing to do will be to either go to the Settings -> Reset and choose the "Erase all content and settings" option or to restore the iPod to factory settings through iTunes. Then you can start complete fresh with your Apple ID and sync or download your own apps and content.
    Regards.

  • Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24?Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6 when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the backup?

    Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24? Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6, when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the version of ios 6 that I created the backup on?

    There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
    It will always restore to the latest available software.

  • After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, Some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds of play...

    After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds even though the iPod appears to be playing the current song. Some of my songs are mp3 files that have been playing fine for years...
    Anybody else experiencing this issue?
    I'm using the latest version of iTunes and i don't have that problem on my PC. The only difference as far as i can tell is the updated iOS & firmware...
    AJ

    Yes, other have. If the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ios 6.1 messed up my ipod touch 4th gen

    i updated my ipod touch 4th gen to the new ios 6.1, it took around 22hrs to download it via wifi so i left it at home.  when i came home from work to check on it, the screen is showing the apple logo (when you turn on the device) and turns on and off as if in a flashing motion (5 sec showing the apple logo, then 5 sec again showing all black screen)
    i connected it to itunes and said that it was in safe mode and needs to be updated again... i again downloaded the update and after a while an error came up that "an error occured downloading update".  i have good internet connection at home.  upon searching the net, i learned that it was something on apple's end.
    my ipod is more than 2 years old.  if i bring it to apple, can they service it for free since its something on apple's end and not my unit?
    thanks!

    There is no way to perform troubleshooting steps without buttons, sorry. Maybe time for a new iPod.
    As far as third-party apps not opening, try downloading a new free or paid app (one you do not already own) from the App Store.

  • The album art is incorrect on my ipod touch 4th gen.  How do I fix this?

    My refurbished ipod touch 4th generation 64GB is showing incorrect, wrong, mismatched album art. The album art shows correctly in itunes but incorrect on my ipod.  At first, it only showed a few mismatched songs.  Then I tried deleting the songs from the ipod and adding them back.  Now ALL the songs in my library show mismatched album art.  How do i fix this? Some people have suggested that this is a cache problem. Will a reset/restore fix this? What problems will I incur if i try to reset my ipod? Should I select "reset all settings" or "erase all content and settings"? Will I lose all my data?  I don't really keep a lot of apps on my ipod so if i lose the data its not a big issue. I just want to know before I start down this path.

  • Is there a way to undo "autofill" so that all the songs, artists, albums, etc on my iPod touch 4th gen coincide/are synchronized again?

    I don't know if you can help me, but I erroneously clicked on "auto fill" under the "on this ipod" category of the itunes screen that's located on my desktop.  As a result, all the songs, albums, artists, etc., are now out of sync, don't coincide with one another, and when I touch a song to play on my ipod touch (fourth generation) it flips to a different artist/song and plays it automatically.  Is there any way I can undo this, and if so, how?   This occurred while I was purchasing/downloading music onto my iPod, and the usb cord was plugged into the modem at the time.  Any suggestions/advice offered to solve this problem would be much appreciated. 

    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music

  • The sleep and home button on my iPod touch 4th gen have stopped working.

    Its been past a year since ive had it but i bought warranty from walmart and I was wondering if walmart would fix it? or should i go to the apple store and ask them?

    If you have a Walmart warranty and did not purhase the extended AppleCare warranty fvia Walmart, then go back to Walmart.
    If AppleCare, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. 
    - If out of warranty, yu can also go to the Apple store. It is free for Apple to look at it.
    Have you tried restoring your iPod? Maybe you just have a software problem?
