I have an older version of an ipod touch and there is no App Store icon and I can't find it. help?

My sister gave it to me as a hand me down and there is no App Store icon. I tried downloading it off itunes but there is no syncing option for apps. I can download music, go on the internet, and have pictures, but I can't download any games or apps. I have searched my whole ipod, itunes, and some internet options but i haven't found anything helpful. Any advice is helpful!

If it's a first generation then you need to update the IOS

  • HT201272 I have an older version on the ipod touch...is it possible to download older versions of applications  ie Kindle, Barnes & Noble or Nook?

    I have an older version of the ipod touch, is it possible to download previous versions of Kindle, Barnes & Noble and Nook?

    Is there no place to go to get older versions?  Those of us who slavishly followed Apple constant harassment to upgrade  our 2nd gen iTouch to 4.2 just basically bricked our devices since all the apps we had before no longer work, requiring 5.0.  Surely someone has thought o offer such a service.

  • I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

    My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

    If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

    Has it been disabled via Settings -> General -> Restrictions?
    I assume you have checked other pages of apps by swiping to the left from the home screen?

  • I am unable to update my software version on my iPod touch. It gets to the very end and tells me that my session timed out. What should I do?

    Every time I try and update my software version for my iPod touch from version 4.2.1 to version 4.3.5 I get within .5 MB (409.5 of 409.6MB) to the end and an error pops up telling me that my network connection has timed out so that the update could not be completed. I start the nursing program next week and need to download books onto my iPod, but it will not let me download the updated versions until my software is updated. I have tried restoring my iPod but when I restore it it says I have to download new software at the same time, therefore I can't even restore it. I just tried resetting my iPod and erasing all data as well as uninstalling iTunes and downloading it again and it still wont work. What do I do? I need to update it so it is ready for school in a week. Any advice? I have tried calling but as I understand I would have to pay for anyone to help me and I really don't want to do that until I have to.

    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

  • I have just bought a 2nd generation iPod touch , it has been reset to factory settings and has no option to update it ? How do I do this ? Also it will not show up in my iTunes or my computer could someone please help??

    Please help as it is starting to look like I have wasted money

    The 2G can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. To find apps for the 2G
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    To update to 4.2.1
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
      A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

  • Iphone 4s and ipod touch when we go into apps store and click on a app whether free or paid it will not register it does nothing.

    We have recently purchased 2 iphone 4s and 2 ipod touches they are all on my Apple id and were all going well the kids were able to download new games etc until yesterday. Now we go into apps store go into top 25 free games come up then we click on a game when we try to click on the blue free tag it does nothing that happens on all devices and for all things we try to get. Can anyone help us please.

    I know you just purchased these items, but could it be possible that they are full?
    To check, go to Settings > General > About.  Then check the Available amount of space.

  • My iPod Touch (4th G) - Where's App Store App?

    I just bought this for my son and neither Messages nor App Store apps were there. I just updated to 5.0.1 and, after working for about 30 mins last night "organizing" apps on specific pages for my son, the apps are now where Apple/iTunes wants to put it. The Message app is now there, but not the App Store one. Any ideas?

    Hi jtcollins,
    Try going to the main Home Screen and swiping left to right to start the Spotlight feature. Type "App Store" into the search box and it should come up.
    If it's missing, you may have accidentally enabled Parental Controls. To turn those off, go to Settings > General > Restrictions and turn them off.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.

  • I have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch. Recently, it doesn't recognize headphones and will only play music through it's speakers. I've tried cleaning the area where you plug in the headphones but this has not helped. What should I do?

    My ipod touch (2nd or 3rd generation) won't recognize headphones anymore! I have'nt gotten it wet or dropped it. I've tried cleaning out the plug where you plug the headphones in. I've had no luck. Is this fixable or is it time to trash this iPod?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself
    iPod Touch Repair – iFixit
    It i likely not worth getting it fixed if a bad headphone jack

  • Computer recognizes my ipod but the driver isn't there to support it. I have the same problem with another Ipod touch where there is no driver for windows but this one Does show up on itunes.

    I believe what I must do is install a driver but I don't know where the drivers are indexed at in apple. Itunes is up to date, and I am using the USB that came with the Ipod.

    Have you tried the driver-related instructions in the following article, Hegel?

  • Ipod touch missing: how to block apps store

    My ipod touch has gone missing, probably stolen. Mobileme is activated but can't locate it.
    I've only ever bought one app from the apps store and I can't remember if you have to enter a password to buy apps. Is it possible for the person who has it to buy apps using my account on the ipod?

    Yu need to enter you iTunes password to buy apps.  If you purchase more apps within ten minute or so after entering your password you will not have to enter it again (your password is still valid for ten minutes).  However, you should still change the password for all accounts used on the iPod.
