I bought an app that can't run on my iPod Touch because it is too old. Can I gift the app to someone else or get a refund?
I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation. I didn't even realize the new iPod Touch 5 had come out, or that my device would not support the newest iOS.
Recently, an app came out that I was looking forward to for months: "The Walk" by Six to Start (same folks who did the excellent "Zombies, Run!" app). I'm pregnant and I was hoping to have the app to encourage me to get back into my walking habit once I recovered from childbirth, so I bought it. Unfortunately, there was no warning or indication that this app would NOT work on my iPod Touch 4, and nothing to inform me that iOS 7 wouldn't be supported on my device. The app requires iOS 7 or higher to run, so it won't work on my iPod Touch at all. I didn't realize any of this until I tried to install it.
So now I have this app that I paid for, but have never used, and CAN never use (unless I shell out $300+ for a new device, which I cannot do, as a stay-at-home parent-to-be with no income of my own anymore). I'm annoyed that I can't use this app that I really wanted, but it would help if I could at least get a refund or maybe send the app to someone who CAN use it.
Is there anything I can do at this point, or do I just have to live with the fact that I wasted money on an app that I can't use?
You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I've installed several apps that won't rotate to landscape. Lock Rotation is off in settings. Is it the apps that don't have the ability to rotate or some setting on my iPad3? Thanks, CC
Not all Apps offer that feature...
Orientation Lock
Settings > General > Lock Rotation..
Double-press the home button...
Swipe to the right until you get to the Portrait Orientation Button...

I can't get the music from my computer to my iPod touch. I put it in sync mode and the computer says it did the job and transferred the music correctly but the iPod says it doesn't have the music transferred.
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. -
I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation. I bought a Itunes card and when I went to add game apps(like Temple Run) to my Ipod it said I couldn't.Is there a way to upgrade this ipod without having to buy a new one to be able to play the games?
You can update it to 4.2.1
Open itunes, connect ipod. If there is an update available, then it will prompt you to update. -
Can't delete app. that was added via web from ipod touch
hey,
I am having a problem getting rid of an app that I add to my touch via the web. It came from the itunes store but wasn't synced thru my itune on my computer.I can't get rid of it even thru itunes, because it isn't on my app list just shows on my third home screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get rid of it?
ThanksWelcome to the discussions,
did you try to touch the app icon on your screen until it starts to shake and shows the little cross? Hit the cross to delete it from your ipod and press the home button to stop the shaking of the icons again.

I have tried to install apps via the app store and via iTunes. I am using a freshly restored stock 4.2.1 firmware.
- Yes, the app in question was 'Doodle Jump' which states that it is compatible with iPod touch 4.2.1
- No, restrictions are switched off
- I get a message of iTunes saying 'iTunes is unable to sync iPod'
- When I purchase the application via App Store on my iPod, I get a 'bubble message' saying "Unable to Download Application" 'Doodle Jump will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Store on your computer'
The issue is only with my iPod touch, I don't experience this issue with my iPhone or iPad.
I have already purchased 'Doodle Jump' on my iPhone and it installed correctly from the App Store. -
I think the title says it all really. I am looking to buy my brother in the UK an ipod touch so we can have a good chat via facetime as I find it better than Skype BUT I want to have the conversation on the tv rather than all the family trying to cram around an ipod touch or the ipad. Is there a way of hooking the devices up to the tv so we can acheive this? It would be great if we could. I know you can hook up an ipod to the tv to watch films etc if it jailbroken so the technology is there but do Apple utilise it all the way? If not why not? I dont want this to turn into a platform for politics please, just after a little help.
Google shows it will works with a 5G iPod touch and with a Apple TV 2. You would use AirPlay mirroring.

I'm trying to back up my daughter's ipod touch 4th generation so I can transfer her contents/music to her new ipod touch. But when I go to File-Devices-Back up it says "it can't be backed up because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the ipod" Any suggestions on what to do? I don't want her to loose her contents. Thanks!
Delete the existing backup file. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select the backup and click on delete. The backup the iPod again. It does not effect the iPod.

After changing my default browser from Firefox back to IE, other URLs are defaulting to IE but I have one URL that continues to default to Firefox. This web app will only run in IE so the only way I can run it is to open IE first and then enter or select the URL. Is there a setting someplace that will change the default browser for this URL to be IE?
You can make IE the default browser, that will reset some registry keys<br />
Control Panel > Internet Options: Programs<br />
Put a check in the box next to 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser'<br />
Start IE and let IE make itself the default browser.
Check the default settings in:<br />
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left)<br />
Open: Custom (click arrow on the right)<br />
Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser"<br />
Click OK -

Why did apple remove so many features from pages?
I don't understand, the old version of pages worked so well and I paid for it. Now I can't download the older version I had before Yosemite. It's like a stripped down version that does not work half as well as it used to.

It looks as though the upload is happening--you can see the icon in the bottom right doing it's thing--but after the upload is complete, the files never appear in the My Files area.
