I have a 1st generation ipod touch and it wont let me download apps at all. what do i do??

I need help putting apps on my ipod touch

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have a 2nd generation ipod touch and it wont let me download apps onto it is thir anything i can do

    When i am trying to download it says that i dont have the upto date software but when i click on the update button is says i am upto date ?
    Does anyone know if this can be fixed or if it is due to the model being old

    If you are running iOS 3.1.3, it is very likely you have a 1st generation iPod touch. That is the highest iOS version it can handle.
    Regardless, you can find plenty of apps in the iTunes store which run on older devices. Here is my favorite solution for filtering compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    And here are some things other people have suggested:
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • I have a 2nd generation ipod touch and it wont update to version 4.2 why

    My iPod will say backin up in a little box and then it just stops backing up and freezes? why?

    See if moving the exsting backup to a safe location will allow a successfull backup since iTunes will create an entire new update file rather than modifying the existing one.  The file is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • I have a 1st gen iPod Touch and have purchased the ios 3.1, but cannot get it to download from the store to the iPod? On iTunes, it says that I have the current version of 2.1  Help!

    I have purchased the ios 3.1 update for my 1st generation iPod Touch, but cannot get it to download.  When I check the summary on iTunes, it says that I have the most up-to-date version of 2.1.  I really need to update to 3.1 to download some games for my son.  I have an iPad and do not want to purchase a new iPod if I  can get some games on the current one.
    Thanks in advance!

    So you are saying that you purchased it by:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Is iTunes signed into the same iTunes account that purchased it?
    How long ago did you purchase it?
    Did you purchase it on another computer?
    Contact iTunes:

  • I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. what do i need to do?

    I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. What do i need to do?

    Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
    Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
    Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps?  You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    - Try on another computer
    - Try another cable           
    - Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

    I have the 1st generation ipod touch looking to trade for the new ipod touch or someone to give me money for the new ipod touch

    There is no trade in program.

    Apple has a recycling program where they will give you 10% off of a new ipod if your bring in your old one.

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available.

  • HT4623 PLEASE HELP! I have the first generation ipod touch and cannot update the software.

    I have the first generation ipod touch with the ios 3.01. I cannot find a way to update the software because I can no longer download apps or really do anything with it. Please help.

  • HT4059 I have a 2nd generation ipod touch that I am trying to download ibooks onto.  It is version 4.2.1.  The app says it requires 5.0.   Is there an older version I can put on the ipod so I can read books?  And same with the kindle app.

    How can I get the ibooks onto a 2nd generation ipod touch since it requires 5.0 and the version on the ipod is only 4.2.1?   Surely, I should be able to read books on the 2nd generation ipod, right?

    "Really?  "
    Yes.
    "Is there any other way to access books on the ipod 2nd generation? "
    No ibooks.
    You can try a kindle reader.

  • I have a brand new ipod touch and it wont connect to itunes or my computer!!??

    I have a brand new ipod touch however when I connect it to my computer, itunes does not recognise it and neither does my computer. The drivers have downloaded and are showing working. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes as discussed in support centre however nothing seems to work. The ipod itself just has the connect to the computer on the screen, is fully charged and when plugged in a little lock sign comes up for a second or two above the itunes icon!!! Let me know if you have any further suggestions please.

    Thanx for you suggestions, I used my old xp laptop...update software and my ipod connected however the memory is not large enough to hold my itunes library so I could see it was not the cable or the ipod at fault.
    I have tried to connect to my vista laptop again and have tried all of the suggestions in troubleshooting again...I have even upgraded to windows 7 to see if that cleared the problem....and....my computer has located my ipod but is only recognising it as a digital camera so back to the drawing board...
    Please have you any other suggestions???

  • TS1538 I have a 1st generation iPod touch.  It will not let me connect to the iTunes store.  How can I fix this?

    We were given this iPod touch from a friend.  Here is what I have done so far.  Reset it back to factor settings.  Added my music.  Set up the wifi through my home internet.  And it keeps telling me that it cannot connect to iTunes.  Don't know what else to do.  Have tried to look on this community for answers and haven't found ones that I haven't tried yet.  I did see somewhere where there was an update for the iPod touch.  It was 4.95 on the iTunes store.  Wondered if that might help.  Don't want to pay for something that won't work.  Thanks!

    I would update. You need the update for apps.
