I cant add apps to my kid's iPod Touch. (i have iPhone 4)

Hey there, thanks in advance for any help soemone can give me.
I Have a mac desktop computer (if that matters) & i have an iPhone 4. the kids love to play apps/games on it so for xmas hubby & I got the kids both an iPod Touch. Ive never had an issue with adding anything to my phone. last night i went to set up the kids'iTouch & i am able to add music, pics & videos but NOT apps. Ive read a lot of you saying click "sync apps" but i cant even do that, it's all grey/unclickable. im so upset cause these are very expensive toys.
also do i need to make them their own apple ID?? i want use to all be able to use the music & apps i have on this computer. but when i try the iMessage it wont work cause both iTouches are under the same apple ID as my iPhone 4. i really want the kids to be able to use the iMessage & facetime with their grandparents back in the states. & with dad when hes away on work trips (when he upgrades to the iPhone in june).
thanks for your time.

- Is the iPod signed into the iTunes account that purchased the apps?
- Are restrictions set on the iPod that prohibit installing apps? Settings>Genera>Restrictions.

    Can you log into your Google mail account on a computer? Try that to be sure your email settings are correct.

  • I cant download apps on my first generation ipod

    i cant download apps on my first generation ipod touch. it keeps saying update required iOS 4.0

    Your 1G iPod Touch cannot be upgraded past iOS 3.1.3.   Many apps that are available in the App Store not require a higher version of iOS (such as iOS 4) in order to be compatible with your device. So if an app requires a higher version of iOS than what is supported by your iPod Touch, you will not be able to sync or download that app to your device.  Sorry.

  • HT204053 I have had an iphone and itunes id for years.  Now 2 of my kids got ipod touches and 2 got ipod nanos for christmas.  How do I add them on to my account and download songs and apps I already purchased for myself?  HELP!

    I have had an itunes account for yearsfor my iphone.  Now 2 of my kids got ipod touches and 2 got ipod nanos for Christmas.  I can't figure out how to add them on to my itunes account so I can download games and apps that I have previously purchased.  Please help!!

    For Messages they will each need their own iCloud accounts. You should also enable Restrictions in Settings > General > Restrictions and disable auto-download on the other devices.

  • HT4205 cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    What are you trying to AirPlay to? The AirPlay icon only appears if you have an AirPlay receiver ready to accept the media from the iPod.
    Also, see the following. The 2G not hot have iOS 4.3 or higher.
    From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
    With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality.

  • How can I get a list of apps which are supported on ipod touch model ma623zo?

    How can I get a list of apps which are supported on ipod touch model ma623zo?
    It's about 6 years old I think.
    I have put the latest IOS on there (currently 3.1.3 (7E18)).
    I download apps from the app store but they often fail to launch. I assume they're incompatible.
    Is there a way to check which apps will work and which won't before I buy them?
    Thanks!

    I have no idea how my reply could be "misleading". I stated the exact situation: there are millions of apps in the iTunes Store, and providing a comprehensive, accurate list of which apps support which version(s) of iOS would be highly impractical. You can perhaps help with your search by going to AppShopper:
    http://appshopper.com/search/?search=iOS+3
    That will give you at least some starting points, but AppShopper is neither comprehensive nor completely accurate. I've found a number of apps listed there over the time the site has existed that either are no longer offered or which have been updated beyond the iOS version indicated. But it might help.
    Regards.

  • Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

    Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • How do you get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch

    How do I get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch?

    By updating the iOS on the iPOd.  The 1G can go as high as 3.1.3.  That works with a lot of apps.  But some apps require a higher iOS and/or newer iPod.

  • ITunes 9 & iPhone 3.1.1: no apps appear in sidebar for iPod Touch when sync

    the new feature for managing apps on iPod Touch in iTunes is darkened and doesn't work or respond to clicks/attempts to drag apps etc. Also, no apps category appears under the iPod Touch device listed in the sidebar of iTunes when it is connected to the iMac (music, podcasts, etc are listed there).
    Also, I noticed I have two more apps on the Touch than are stored in the apps section of iTunes (I did not sync the last apps with iTunes 8 before replacing it with iTunes 9). One is "Google Book Search" which I could not find in the iTunes store to put in my iMac collection (to match the contents of the iPod Touch); the other is "Rick Steve's Orsay Tour" which I found in the store but didn't want to chance having to pay for again ($4.99) when prompted to 'buy' it. (I had thought perhaps if I matched the iMac and iTouch apps that the new feature would somehow work; but I know I don't really have any idea if that will work at all.)
    Is this a bug in iTunes 9 or did I seriously mess up by not syncing the Touch in the previous iTunes?
    What can I do to have the iPod Touch's apps appear in the sidebar; and have the new feature for managing the apps in iTunes work on my iMac?
    Thank you. (This is my first-ever visit to this discussion forum!)

    I too am seeing this issue, looks like several threads popping up
    Here is my post from the other thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151303&tstart=120
    I too am seeing this problem. I think it is tied to the ability to adjust the apps and what page they appear on. The reason being that I keep un-selecting and re-selecting apps trying to flip something that will cause it to work. When I do the apps randomly (at least I cannot see a pattern) move around on different tabs. I just purchased two new apps and those wont even appear on the phone nor will apps that I have in itunes but had removed from my phone.
