IPod Touch 1st Generation can't download podcasts
I have an iPod Touch 1st generation, software version 2.2.1 update indicates this is the latest version for my iPod). It has recently lost the ability to downoad podcasts through the iTunes store. I can get to the store, but when clicking on any podcast site the screen shows that it is loading the page but then the device returns to iPod home page. I can purchase and download songs from iTunes, so the problem seems to be unique to podcasts. I have also tested this on several wireless networks so it doesn't seem to be a problem unique to my home network.
Hi. Same issue as you guys. I'm quite new to Apple products, so it has come as a surprise to me that this issue has now been dragging on for well over a week. Nearly 2. Does anyone at Apple HQ take any notice of these message boards?? If so, an official response would be most welcome.

Ipod touch 2nd Generation can't download Apps?
My nephew was given a ipod touch 4th generation, and so he gave me his ipod touch 2nd generation; after resetting the ipod and setting up an account on itunes, as well as authorising my computer, this ipod can not download apps like angry birds, however it could before! Please explain why this is and how i can fix this?
The 2G can only go as high as 4.2.1
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

I have tried to download multiple apps but a message keeps popping up to say that it requires iOS 7.0. I have an Ipod touch (4th Generation) by the way, and I have gone to the software update to find that it says 'iOS 6.1.6, your software is up to date'. I have no idea what to do. Thanks
I tried that but I realized that the apps weren't installed yet, so I installed the apps but the same message keeps popping up, saying that it need an iOS 7.0 to be able to install. What's really is confusing is that my friend also has and Ipod Touch (4th Generation) and that problem never occurred to her, and we had the same iOS. The apps that I a trying to install are Phonto and Gmail, and on their description boxes it states that they are both compatible with iOS 7.0 and later. It has me really confused and I'm sorry that you have to put up with me. I really appreciate your help! Thanks!

HT2052 ipod touch 1st generation, can't acces apps at all. update?
i have a 1st generation ipod and i currently cannot acces apps or do much on it, is there a update/software that will let it perform better? so far i can only add music and thats it.
The 1G can only go as high as 3.1.3. To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -
IPod Touch, 1st generation, can't use iTunes or the App Store
I have an iPod Touch running iOS 3.1.3. All of a sudden, I can no longer buy music off iTunes or apps off the App Store because the "Install" or "Buy" buttons shrink to a very small size (see attached screenshot) and do not respond when pressed. I have re-booted the iPod twice with no affect.

My friends MacBook connected easily to my wireless, but why not the ipod touch? When prompted for "Password" I enter the security key info and nothing, nadda....zip. The MacBook asks for the "Security Key" info not "Password", like the touch. What's the difference?
Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?
Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding. -
I got an iPod touch 1st generation and downloaded loads of apps, some paid some free. A few weeks ago I restored the iPod touch and when I went to download apps that I had already owned it said I needed a newer iOS. It says I need iOS 4.3 and I have iOS 4.2.1 and when i tried to update it says I have no software updates.
Do you have any of those apps saved on your computer, in iTunes?
It is true that your 1st generation iPad is already now running the highest version of iOS it can. It cannot be updated further. If the developer has pulled the older versions of their apps and now only offers versions requiring iOS 5 or 6 then you will not be able to run those apps any longer (unless you kept backup copies of the older versions in iTunes on your computer).
Developers determine what version(s) of their apps are in the App Store. As many have updated their apps to take advantage of the enhancements in iOS 6 , they've pulled their older versions and no longer support them. -
How do I download the SD version of my HD TV show onto my iPod Touch 1st generation?
I bought and downloaded the Pilot episode of the Vampire Diaries. However, I found out afterwards that it can't be synced because the iPod Touch 1st generation does not support HD videos. But I read that when you buy an HD video it comes with a SD version. I can't figure out how to get that SD version to show up or be synced. I went on the Purchased pages and unselected the HD versions, but it says that the SD versions have already been downloaded to the computer. I can't find them and can't find any selections to change the HD to SD. Please help me!!
Hello maxr0,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article that outlines where to go to download your purchases again in iTunes.
The article named says it is for iTunes 10, but the steps will work for iTunes 11 as well.
In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
Click the Purchased link in the top-right of the Store home page (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.
iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.
If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re using Album view, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
To download an item, click the Download button to the right of the item.
From: iTunes 10 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1706
Once you get to the page for your Movies or TV Shows, there should be a checkbox that says Download HD When Available. Uncheck that, and then download your purchase and that should get you the SD version of your video.
Take care,

HT2052 Need another link to download iOS 3.1 for my ipod touch 1st generation!
I can't find anywhere to purchase and download iOS 3.1 for my ipod touch 1st generation (iOS 2.2.1 at the moment), despite clicking through the link provided in this article. It just leads me to a page to download iTunes to my computer which I already have! Can anyone shed some light? Thanks!
Are you using the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3)? What happens if you try to open the link using a different web browser such as Firefox or Chrome?
