I have first iPod touch, but can't after restore can't reinstall some apps I bought because they have been updated in iTunes to newer versions

I have first iPod touch, but can't after restore can't reinstall some apps I bought because they have been updated in iTunes to newer versions?  I am giving this to my grandchildren and their favorite game Skee-Ball updated and now can't reinstall on iPod touch.

If you still have the apps on the iPod you can delete them from the computer and then transfer the apps from the iPod t the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Next would be to look in your computer backups file for a version of the apps that works with the iOS on the iPod.
Otherwise you are out of luck.

    I've downloaded a rented movie and transferred to my Ipod touch but can't find it on the device to watch it - where do I find it?

    Hi,
    Have you tried using your iPod's Search function to find the movie?  (The Search function is to the left of the home screen.) 
    Hope this helps!

    summarizing:
    iPod nano (what version iOS BEFORE update?)
    downloaded music
    updated iPod to iOS 8.1.2
    Windows 7 PC
    plug-in iPod to PC
    error message from iTunes on the PC "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" ⬅[quoted from your original post] (+ suggested troubleshooting steps)
    un-plug > re-plug iPod (how many times?)
    iTunes un-installed from PC (?)
    iTunes RE-installed to PC (?)
    error message repeats(?)
    searched "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" site:support.apple.com with ZERO results - pretty strange that the support site wouldn;t know an iTunes generated error message (?)  EDIT - had an "aha! moment when using a fresh Google search page and 'suggested' CANNOT
    then "Ipod detected but can't be identified properly" site:discussions.apple.com had ONE result = Can't connect to iTunes with ipod touch (-50 error) - NO REPLIES
    CANNOT instead of can't [ tsk tsk ]

  • My ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it

    plz i need help....my ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it...plz send me email to [email protected]

    If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod do that. If yuo are still having problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You likely have a hardware problem.
    You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself.

    You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync the iPhone 5; this may require buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store. OS upgrades aren't covered by the warranty.

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

  • I restored my iPod touch, but was unable to restore my data from a backup, so I synced it and now all of the data from my apps has gone, and so have in app purchases. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

    Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to get my app data back? All levels completed on games have been erased, and I am unable to use in app purchases which I did purchase, such as the Mighty Eagle in Angry Birds. Thanks for your help

    Go to the Device tab in iTunes' Preferences and se what the date iis of the backup(s).  Apple only retaines the latest backup unless you restor from a backup and that one is also kept.

  • Video podcast syncs to iPod touch, but can't be found afterwards?

    I have a number of podcasts on my iTunes. When these sync to my 3rd Generation IPOD Touch, the audio podcasts show up in the podcast list on the IPOD, but I have to search for the video podcasts as they are not on in any of the folders. This started happening when I upgraded to ios 5. Does anynoe else have this problem? Is there a fix?

    Did you check under Videos icon instead of under Music icon?

  • IPod Touch won't sync after restore

    iPod Touch, 1st gen., system software 3.1.3
    I know this is an old device and there probably aren’t many people still using OS 3.1.3 but this is what I’ve got.  All was working reasonably well before I performed a restore, hoping to remedy some slowness.  However, since reloading both software and contents, I continually get the following message while performing a sync: “The iPod “Laurent Fignon” cannot be synced.  The required file cannot be found.”  While podcasts are updated, photo albums will not load before that message appears and the sync ends.  I’ve tried the restore a couple of times since, thinking that might help but I continue to see the same message when trying to sync.
    Rest of the platform is MacBook Pro 4.1, OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.3

    Thanks for the suggestions so far.
    After trying a couple of less labor intensive suggestions, I downloaded and reinstalled iTunes.  Performed a reboot.  Started iTunes.  Tried to sync the iPod Touch.  Still stopped mid-way through with the same message - "The Pod cannot be synced.  The required file cannot be  found."  As the sync had been quitting at the point where it said it was installing photos, I unchecked the "Sync Photos From" button and tried to sync again.  This time the sync finished successfully.  However, I'd like the photos from the album "iPod Touch" in my iPhoto library to be on the iPod Touch.  It is listed as an album in iPhoto and I can view the pics there but iTunes apparently can't find them.  There is no folder in user/Pictures/ called "iPod Touch".  I don't think I can open the iPhoto Library file.  Anyone have another idea?

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen. sync after restore

    Authorized new hard drive for iTunes. Did backup then restored from back up, transferred previously purchased library to iPod Touch. Following restore, all purchased music, downloaded CDs AND games remained on the iPod Touch. Good so far.....then tried to sync device so all downloaded CDs would go out to the iTunes library, but got the message "iPod Touch is synched with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase his iPod and sync with this iTunes library? An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library." Don't want to lose the games and downloaded CD songs but sounds like that will happen if I click "Erase and Sync". Any suggestions on how to keep the games, etc.? Should I just ignore the message? Will that cause other problems? Thanks!

    - Transfer non-iTune purchassed muic to the computer by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - After everthing is on the "new" computer, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking one the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iod from that backup.

  • Ipod touch won't start after restore

    Ipod touch 3rd Generation-  battery was completely dead after sitting for a week or so. I charged it but couldn't get it to turn on.  Went into recovery mode, connected it to the computer and re-loaded everything, but when restore is done, the IPOD still won't start or display in itunes.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
