How to restore previous (working) versions of apps?

I recently discovered that at least two of my apps (Bria and Kindle) on my original iPhone don't work, both because I let the phone upgrade to new versions which don't work on my phone.
Since I removed iTunes (because it's a absurdly abusive system hog on my Windows PC), I don't have any backups.
My understanding now is that I'm just plain screwed: there is no way to load earlier versions of these apps.
I understand that NEW apps are designed for newer iPhones, and even that developers might choose to limit new versions of their apps to newer iPhones, but why would the AppStore be set up to automatically urge an upgrade to a version that DOES NOT WORK on my iPhone?
Apparently it's time to look for an Android phone.
Hey, look: I can't even select "iPhone" from the list of products, only 3 and 4 models. That certainly makes things clear: Apple won't even let users of older products participate in the support community.

" but why would the AppStore be set up to automatically urge an upgrade to a version that DOES NOT WORK on my iPhone?"
It does not "urge" you at all.
You have to go to the apps and select to see the updates, then you have to select to do the updates and for which apps and you have to confirm.  This is hardly pushed on you.

  • How do I download older versions of apps for my iPod?

    How do I download older versions of apps which I purchased for my iPod Touch to my computer?  I am using iOS 4.2.1 and many apps have been updated to no longer work on older iPods.  I know I need to go to the iTunes store but there isn´t a navigation from there.

    You can't download them; you can only sync previously downloaded copies from your iTunes library.

  • How to restore a deleted built-in app (Maps)?  App disappeared: IOS 4 & 3GS

    Does anyone know how to restore a deleted built-in app?
    In my case the Maps app disappeared. According to other posts in this forum you cannot delete a built-in app such as Maps but it has happened on my iPhone 3GS.
    I'm running IOS 4.
    Morrow

    If you are unable to locate the Maps app you can still access it from the Spotlight search window. Just type in Maps, look for the familiar interstate 280 icon, tap there and you will enter the Maps app. This will work for you until you can locate the icon, which hopefully you will.

  • How to find out Reports version in Apps?

    How to find out Reports version in Apps from within Apps?
    Help-->About Oracle Application => gives only Database, Application and Forms version
    If not through Apps are there ways to find it through Unix commands in the server
    or
    through any SQL query in SQLPlus or TOAD?

    HTH
    SriniThanks.
    There is something weird. The RDBMS version that inspdver gives is 8.0.6.3.0, whereas from Apps, Help-->About Oracle Applications it gives 9.2.0.6.0.
    Hence I am not sure what version number inspdver returns.

  • HT1711 How do I update new versions of Apps using the new iTunes?

    Good day all. I am having problems downloading updated versions of some Apps using the new iTunes. How do I update new versions of Apps using the new iTunes?

    You can go back to the old view with the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (if you are on windows then alt-v should show the View drop-down menu) - which is what I'm currently doing as I'm familiar with that way.
    Or, on the new view you can click on the library type at the top left and select Apps and then Check For Updates at the bottom right of the screen. When you've downloaded the updates to your computer, click on Library top right to go back to your library view from the store, then select the iPad (top right) and Sync at the bottom right should then copy the updates to your iPad.

  • How to restore previous version of search/results.aspx

    Hi,
    I have search center as sub site. There is no Pages library available for the search center.
    I had customized the OOTB search results page. Now, I need to restore previous version of the results page.
    The url for results page appears as <site collection URL>/search/results.aspx
    Which library contains the results.aspx page and how to restore it to previous version?
    Thanks,
    dhijit

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to restore previous version of search/results.aspx.
    Per my knowledge, the results.aspx isn’t stored in the library.
    You can open the SharePoint Designer to find the results.aspx under the “All Files” folder.
    There is no version information on the page.
    You need to modify the page to the result which is the same as the previous version.

  • How do i install older versions of apps on an older iPhone that has been updated to latest version it supports?

    how do i install an older compatible version of pandora?  I have an older 3G iphone i want to stream music from. OS is 4.2.1 and basically nothing installs and the OS will not upgrade past that OS version.

    You could try this.
    On your PC - download the latest version of the App.
    Once downloaded, select the App for syncing to your Phone.
    You will get a message saying it is not compatible.
    If you are lucky it may offer a previous version as an alternative.
    Worth a try.  It has worked on several apps on my old version 2 iPod.

  • How to restore previous session using the control panel

    I have tried all pathways through firefox with no results. There is a way to restore previous session using the control panel. I tried it before and it worked but I forgot to write down the pathway and lost this method. Does anyone know it?
    thank you

    I can't think of anything useful in the Windows Control Panel, but perhaps you were using the System Restore feature? As a shortcut for that, you could try the Previous Versions tab of the Properties dialog for sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak.
    First, I recommend backing up your current sessionstore files.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Copy sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak to a safe location (e.g., Documents folder). If you cannot see those file extensions, try this Microsoft support article: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
    Then right-click sessionstore.js, click the Previous Versions tab, and see what is available.

  • How to Restore Previous Reconcilition

    Hi!
    I am using  SAP B1 PL 40.
    I did some wrong GL account reconciliation, i want to restore back the reconcilied transaction.
    I tried in Check and Restore Previous Reconcillation to restore back, but i am unable to restore.
    I did like...
    1.selected GL Account.
    2.Checked "Display Incorrect Transaction only"
    3.Executed.
    4.Then, Clicked Open Incorrect Only.
    while doing so, a error message like "No Matching records Found in Reconciliation History (OMTH) "
    Pl guide me, how to do the above..
    regards,
    Jaya Kumar

    Hi Jaya,
    unless the reconciliations were for some inexplicable reson unbalanced or multiple times reconciled, the system will not recognize them as being incorrect.
    I would recommend you identify the reconciliations you did, in 2005 manual reconciliations have a positive number, system recons have an negative one. You can then narrow it down in the Check & restore previous reconciliations by entering reconciliation numbers in the From/to fields.
    Once you have identified them, e,g, Recon 1234, put this number in the Recon. From & to field, click on 'Excecute' & once there is only this recon in the matrix, click on 'Open all'. The 'Open All' button will only open the recons that are actually shown in the matrix of the window.
    All the best,
    Kerstin

  • How to restore previous session (with sync on)

    My lights went out and after restart Firefox lost my previous session. "Restore previous session" option is greyed out. I had Sync on at all times, would this help? This pc is my only synced device, though.
    This is, like, the fifth time Firefox screwed up my previous session. Seriously, you guys.

    averagefailguy,
    Hey, no need to be rude.
    Your question was:
    <blockquote> I had Sync on at all times, would this help? This pc is my only synced device, though. </blockquote>
    As the-edmeister pointed out, no, you can't. If Firefox closed improperly or was forced to shut down due to a power outage, Sync probably wouldn't have synced it over and if it did, it was likely corrupt.
    <s>You said Firefox crashed? There may be some crash reports left over to see what caused the crash</s><br>
    <b>EDIT: Forgot Firefox didn't crash but force closed.</b>
