HT1222 i cant download facebook on my ipod touch it says this app requires iOS 4.3. how can i download this please? Many thanks

I am trying to download various apps and games and I get the message "this app requires iOS 4.3".  Please can you tell me if I can get this on my ipod touch ? Many thanks

Unless you have iOS 4.3+ on your iPod (your current version is shown in Settings > General > About > Version) then you won't be able to download and install that app.
You can check if your iPod supports a higher version of iOS than you currently have by connecting it to computer's iTunes and selecting it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button. If it doesn't find any available updates then I assume that it's an older iPod and that it's on its version, so you won't be able to update it to iOS 4.3+ nor to download that app onto it.
If it does find an available update then before you start the update first copy any purchases off the iPod to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off it as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update.

  • HT201210 My Ipod-touch was ios5 when I bought. You recommend to upgrade ios6, because set-up icon always shows me "+".  For that on facebook I can't see wall photos. So I want my ipod touch to be back as initial version ios5. How can I do? please tell me.

    Unfortunately, I don't think it solved the problem. I believed the new iPod thing solved the weird behavior problem, but after that the button stopped working.
    Do you know how to contact Genius? Because I don't think I can find a store in my area, when I tried to.

  • Ive got a new pc with windows 7 and my ipod touch 4th gen is synced with my old pc ,how can i back up the photos on the ipod to my new pc ?

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.

    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content such as music, videos, and photos synced to the device, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.

    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

  • HT5622 I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop.  I have then changed it on my iPod Touch in settings. When I try to update my apps on the ipod touch it keeps throwing up the old appleID.  How can I get the iPod Touch to use the new ID?

    I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop. I have then changed them in my iPod touch settings in "iTunes & App stores" When I try to update my apps it fails because it wishes to continue to use the previous ID.  What do I have to do to make it accept the new ID?

  • I have an iPhone and an iPod touch, and whenever i sync my iPhone, all the apps from the iPod Touch are added on it and vice versa. How can I stop this from happening?

    Whenever i try and sync my iPhone, I get all the iPod Touch apps on it then have to maually delete them.

    I have the same question, but can you clarify something please.  I have about 10 apps showing in the apps section of iTunes - all of which I am happy to have on my iphone - but NOT on the Touch. 
    1.  How do I 'delete' the apps wrongly synched to the Touch, and
    2.  For the future, when I download an app. hor do I ensure it is only synched with the iphone and not the Touch.  I have very space left on the Touch and don't want to clutter it with unwanted apps.

  • On my ipod touch it always shows cannot connect to the internet how can I get it to connect?

    On my ipod touch It shows i am connected wifi and have put in the correct password yet it says i am not connected to the internet.When i try to go on my appd or itunes it is stuck on loading. And so I reset it in my settings now all my apps are blank but when i click on them they are there but i have to sign in to itunes.

    If Restrictions are set for Safari, iTunes ect, theh apps are hidden which is not the case for the poster.
    Try the following:
    - Reeet. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • My Ipod Touch got stolen at the YMCA Richmond, VA. How can I located? I tried Icloud with no luck!!!

    IPOD Touch was stolen from my son, at the YMCA, 7540 Hull Street Road, N Chesterfield, VA 23235-5810. Does anyone know, how to locate it, if it's offline?

    Change your iTunes password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.
