I can no longer install 3rd party apps to my ipod touch

When I try to install a 3rd party app, it begins the download, the new icon appears on the screen for about 1.5 seconds, and then the icon disappears and no download occurs. This happens 100% of the time.
My Apple ID on the iPod Touch is the same as the one for my iPhone. I can download apps for the iPhone no problem.
This iPod is running iOS4.2.1.

Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How can I force-install iOs5/6 apps on my iPod Touch?

    Hi, I have an iPod touch version 4.3.5 (ML1). Model is MC540C.
    The App Store sometimes bars me from installing apps because the app has a minimum requirement of iOS 5 or 6. How can I force my iPod to install these apps anyway?

    No, it is more than the screen dimension.
    You have a 4G iPod, why not update?
    To update:
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer

  • I have installed 10.8.5 and now am unable to install 3rd party apps, like weather bug.

    MACBOOK AIR OS X 10.8.5.
    It is going from a great experience to now almost wishing I would have bought another PC.  How hare is it to install a 3rd party app.  I was running WEATHERBUG just fine with 10.8.2.  All I have read about 10.8.5 is that it has fixed abunch of bugs.  Yeah right.

    I am trying to install "WEATHERBUG"  Weatherbug was allowed to run just fine on earlier versions of MOUNTAIN LION.  10.4 and later won't allow this 3rd party app to download.

  • Can't open any 3rd party apps - they crash on startup

    I've been an iPhone owner since the first model (I have iPhone 4 now), and I've never seen anything like this.
    Last night my iPhone ran out of charge. This morning, when I plugged it in it had to charge for a few minutes before it would turn on. Once it turned on, it said "waiting for activation: this may take a while". I thought this was strange, because my phone is already activated. I'm in an area with no reception, though, so maybe that was the issue.
    Once the phone turned on, I tried to open some of my apps. But none of the 3rd party apps would open! When I tap them they appear to open but they shut down / crash right away. Strangely, however, all of the Apple apps that come with the phone will open without a problem (Maps, Mail, Safari, iCal, etc.).
    I tried a hard reset but that didn't help. I'm away from home so I can't do an erase and store, and I really need access to some of the data in those apps.
    Any ideas?

    I did the same this week. I did a sync and now I can't access any of my apps. They appear to open then shut right back down. Have tried to resync, update and about anything else that may fix and nothing. Paying an aweful lot of money just for texting and phone usage. Anyone know how to take care of this issue? I have a 3G phone and been using it for a year without this problem

  • Can I transfer progress from the apps on my iPod touch 4g to my iPhone 4s?

    I just bought an iPhone 4s and I have had an iPod Touch 4g for a couple of months. I have downloaded many apps to my iPod and I have many gaming apps and I want to know how I can transfer the progress from the games from my iPod touch to my new iPhone. I don't want to start over on all of my games. I know that there was an option when setting up my iPhone 4s that said start as new or restore from backup, but i selected start as new. Is there any way that I can still do it?

    Make sure you are in the USA App store.

  • Can't move around 3rd party apps in menu bar with Yosemite

    Hi - I have a Macbook Pro with Retina and I installed a few apps - pace, shazam, knock, flux and skip tunes. I wanted to edit the order of how they are displayed in the menu bar but I can't seem to be able to move them around (holding down the command key). However, this seems to be limited to the third party apps because I can move the native icons (bluetooth, battery, wireless) around just fine. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

  • How can install the sonos app on my iPod touch?

    I want to use my old iPod as a remote control for my Sonos player, but can't seem to access or add any aps to it.  The iPod is running software version 1.1.5.
    Help.

    You need to purchase the iOS 3.1.3 for your iPod.  That is the last update for the 1G iPod,  You can get it here:

  • Can not download ANYTHING from my apps on my iPod Touch, application Not compatible this application requires the iPhone 3.0 software update. Why? It's an touch not a phone

    After restoring my iPod touch I am unable to download anything from itunes and my app. Keeps telling me to down load iPhone 3.0 update. Why if it's an touch not an iPhone?

    I sounds like you have the first generation (1G) iPod Touch with an iOS earlier than 2.0,  Yu can identify your ipod here:

  • Can No Longer Connect Wirelessly to ITunes With My IPod Touch

    While I can connect to the Internet with my IPod Touch through my router, I cannot seem to connect to ITunes wirelessly. My device only shows when I have it connected through the cable directly. The Apple help site hasn't been much good, as they suggested to completely uninstall ITunes (I followed their instructions implicitly) and re-install. Same problem. Not sure if this has anything to do with the new OS....but it's suspicious.

    Not sure if I was included in this question, but I'll answer anyway. My computer that I have ITunes on is hard wired into the router, which makes sense since it's on my computer desk But as I said, wireless works fine so It's logically not the IPod, it's not the router, so it has to be either the new OS or ITunes.
    I have Rogers Cable and a Cisco Modem/router.
    How do you quote posts on here?
    Yep, you were included...
    To add a quote, click Reply, and at the top of the reply window is a tool bar.  Click the icon to the right of the smiley face....
    Funny thing is, my desktop is hard wired too, but for grins and giggles I put iTunes on one of my laptops, and used the laptop to reset my iPod to factory settings.  Wireless synch still didn't work....
    What really aggravates me is when you go to the KB to find out how to troubleshoot an issue, the articles are pretty much blank.  Click here, set that, but no real explanation of how stuff works or what can cause it to break....
    One thing I have noticed is the KB article says that after you tell iTunes to use Wireless Synch if you don not eject the deivce, it will stay connected when you unplug it...  I never saw that behavior....

  • I can no longer sync podcasts through iTunes on my iPod touch.  Getting a message that says I'm out of space - tells me to go to settings to manage my free space - but the storage meter does not say how much space is available

    See my responses to your other posts. Just starting new posts all the time just causes confusion.

  • Can no longer use itunes to put music on ipod touch?

    I have an iPhone that I have no issues when using the itunes macch, BUT my iPod Touch I do not want to always have to connect to wi-fi to use music, on a run for instance, when there is n wi-fi available.  I want to use iTunes like before wheree I connected it to iTunes and picked which music I wanted synced with the iPod and then the music was on there.  Right now all I can do is see an option to download the music t my ipod when connected to a wi-fi network.  I am on sattelite internet so I cna not going to use all my download allowance for something I already downloaded and just need to transfer.
    Basically what I want to do is transfer whatever I want from Itunes to my iPod touch and then turn on iCloud for the rest that isn't on the iPod, so if I AM in a wi-fi area I can listen if I want, but if i am not in a wi-fi area I astill have some music that is on my iPod itself.
    Please help! So annoying!! I love apple, but they need directions for these issues.
    Lyndsie

    Yes you can use the music, but you cannot use the iTunes program to do it.
    So:
    Find the music files on your computer.
    Make sure the audio format(s) are compatible.  MP3 is a definite yes, but the iTunes favorite AAC is a maybe, and you will have to check what your player can handle.
    Then, follow your player's instructions to copy the music to the player.  For many players this means to just connect it and drag the file icons into it.

  • Can't find eBay Mobile in App Store on iPod Touch! Is it for iPhone only ?

    At iPod Touch 2.0, I tried to search for eBay in App Store. Turns out there only a Paypal. My friend's iPhone 3G's got eBay, wonder why isn't iPod Touch. Means a lot to me a eBay powerseller.
    Message was edited by: Kashahayh

    Solved! Blame Apple Canada! Logon your App Store using a account that's registered with an American address. and iPod Touch will automatically go to the US App store (there's eBay Mobile) instead of the Canadian one(which doesn't provide eBay Mobile).
