I am unable to download from store, saying iphone not compatible

I have bought an iphone 3,  I am unable to download apps due to a messages saying iphone not compatible.  I dont have a clue why this is not working. 
Anyone any suggestions?
Stephen

This is probably an indication that the app you are trying to download will not be supported by the iOS of your device. The iPhone 3G only supports up to iOS 4.2.1. That is the last iOS that it will support. Most apps in the store now require iOS 5 or above, many requiring 6 or above. There isn't anything that you can do about that. Always take the time to see what iOS is required before attempting to download an app.

    Because your MBP does not require it.

  • Songs Unable To Download from iTunes to iPhone 4S

    Everytime I attempt to download a song from itunes to my iphone 4S, it stops, goes straight to saying its done, then starts from the beginning again...how can I fix this? Sometimes when I buy and download a song it does download but, the songs that keep re-starting do not. They skip to the end then start from the beginning several times, then eventually just stop and say "Download Error". I had this problem once before but randomly it stopped and the songs with the problem downloaded. It randomly started again though now and I am not sure why. If anyone knows how I can fix this it would br great, TY^^!

    Either the service did not install when you set up iTunes, or it has been stopped for some reason.  If you are using Win7, go to the start orb, click, type services at the bottom. Then look in the window that opens for the Apple service(s), and start them all.  Then reload iTunes and try again.  If you don't find an Apple service, then you will need to install iTunes again, and be sure it is the current (10.2) version.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I installed iOS 5 on my iPad and unable to  Download from iTunes store

    I installed iOS 5 on my iPad and unable to  Download from iTunes store

    Hi all...I just got a solution to the problem. It's foolproof. Connect your iPad to your PC and re-install iOS 6. In case you would like to know how - Click on iPad in iTunes and then click on restore button. Then just follow the steps from there on. It worked for me. I know this is a "not-the-desired" solution, but it will fix your problem. For me it solved another problem - I had noticed a deterioration in speed when I had originally upgraded from 5 to 6. After doing this re-install, I can confirm, there is a noticeable difference in speed...across the board, including Siri responses. Thanks and best of luck.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • Windows 8.1 account limit problem when downloading from store

    I need to download more than 25 free apps from the store
    on each tablet. Putting the same account don't work. (comes up with an error after putting on to many devices that you cant use this account now).
    Whats the best way to do this ? and what if I need to download a paid app ?
    Thank You.
