Ipod touch app problems

Hi,
I just down loaded some free apps onto my ipod, but they're not showing up on my homescreen. They are showing up on the apps section of my iTunes, just not on my ipod. What do I do?

Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Find iPod Touch App - Problem Setting up MobileMe

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up the Find iPod Touch App. Unfortunately, not sure what "generation" this particular one is (is there an easy way to find out?)
    I am following the instructions at http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/find-my-ipodtouch-setup/, and have OS v4.2.1 installed.
    Following these instructions, I try to set up a MobileMe account, but when entering my apple id and password, receive a message saying:
    "Device Not Supported". This iPod Touch is not qualified for free Mobile Me service.
    Not sure where to go from here - is there something else I need to upload?
    Thanks.

    From the 1st step in the above link:
    Make sure your iPod touch is running iOS 4.2 or later. If you’re creating a free account for the first time, you need a fourth-generation iPod touch.
    It sounds like you don't have a 4G iPod Touch.  Use this article to help you determine what generation iPod Touch you have.

  • 3rd gen ipod touch app problem

    I recent had to reset and reinstall my IOS and the old apps I had are no longer able to be loaded.  I had about 30 apps prior to the crash that worked fine.  After I reverted back to factory settings and reinstalled the ios, the apps no longer worked.  i have the most up to date ios installed (it's old 4.2).  How do IO get these apps back and working?  The guy at the apple store told me to buy a new ipod touch (I have one!) but he did not know the answer to my question.

    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.

  • "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" will not sync to iPod after restore

    Hi, new here.
    I'm using Windows, and have a need to reformat & reinstall every six months or so (I install & uninstall a lot of software; I'm a tester by profession). Now, I do not restore my iPod touch quite as often as I reformat, but when it can't be helped, like this other day when iTunes suddenly won't recognize my iPod touch when I connect it. The first time it happened, I was able to contact Apple Support by phone and they kindly re-posted the January Software Upgrade to my account by default, and I was able to re-download it (I also sent an email, hence I was re-sent the file a second time after that, which I have also re-downloaded since). I realized I might run into the same problem in the future, (and I've been doing a lot of reading around these forums) so I backed up the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file.
    Three months later (i.e., today) my iPod wonked out again, but I can't seem to re-sync the file I backed up to my freshly-restored, now-plain-vanilla, without the January Software Upgrade iPod touch. The steps I followed are as below:
    (1) Copied the backed up file to "C:\Users\RonMarc\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa"
    (2) Re-launched iTunes and made sure I'm logged in to iTunes with the account I used to purchase the upgrade
    (3) Restored the iPod touch (it automatically downloaded 1.1.4 (at the time I purchased the upgrade, it was 1.1.3; I have also tried shift+Restore and browsed to a IPSW file of the 1.1.3 version)
    (4) When prompted if I'd like to set up the iPod as a new iPod or if I wanted to restore a previously backed up copy, I opted to restore. I have also tried re-restoring it and doing it the other way, i.e., "set up as a new iPod"
    (5) Ejected the iPod, reconnected it and Synced. Still, no January Software Upgrade.
    I'd like to know if I missed out on any steps. Or if the "back up the IPA file" method works only under the Mac, as in here. The idea of
    Thanks in advance. My apologies for the long post as I'd like to provide as much detail. -Ron Marc

  • How to skip updates on iTunes store and iPod touch App store???

    Hi all!!!
    I would like to know how can I skip an updated APP? The game PacMan has been
    updated and people had problems with it (slow) and I just wana skip it but there isn't
    any way that I know of to remove that "1" update number and it's the same thing on my
    iPod Touch App Store icon still has that red 1 on it and want to remove without resulting
    to update the program.
    Any help welcomed!!!!
    PS: 1st Gen Touch

    I was just researching the same! No results yet.
    To be honest: this is a patyful thing in the UI of iOS. I can no longer tap "update all" since there are some I don't want to update.
    P.S. Even Microsoft Windows 7 lets users to "hide updates" that one doesn't want so the OS updates never annoy again. How come iOS fail?

    Hi
    Try to reset your iPod and then deauthorize and reauthorize your computer, then sync the iPod again.
    To reset the iPod touch just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo appear.
    You can deauthorize the computer from the iTunes Store menu.

  • 2.0 upgrade won't let me restore ipod touch app pack

    I can't add back the iPod touch app pack after upgrading to 2.0. Is the app pack now incompatible with 2.0? When I try to open my backed up ipa file, it says "The application 'iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa' could not be added to your iTunes library because it is not a valid application." I also thought that maybe the free apps in the App Store has the same applications as what was in the app pack, but I couldn't find them. It would suck if I have to re-purchase!

    Okay, it looks like the apps from the pack are part of the 2.0 update. So it makes sense that I don't need to install the app pack. It just threw me off for a minute since I was expecting to see the apps listed in the Applications section of iTunes.

  • Can I copy & install "ipod touch App Pack 4A93" in vista ultimate 64bit

    I am to do a clean install of vista ultimate 64bit. This is a move from my present vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    All my purchase for for the ipod touch have taken under vista 32bit and details are stored in App Data->Roaming->Apple Computer->iTunes->Mobile Applications->ipod touch App Pack 4A93.
    Now when I do a clean install of my latest OS vista ultimate 64bit I will have to wipe clean of the drive and it will erase my "ipod touch App Pack 4A93" aswell. I have saved that in a usb key to copy that back in the correct folder. Now my question is can I copy that back in VISTA 64bit and will it recognise my previous purchases for my ipod touch?
    Has anybody know it for sure?
    Thanking you in advance for your help and assistance.

    Hello.
    I am not sure if the Vista 64 bit will know the folder and App pack or not. But some of the other methods of backing up and getting Apps back you purchased are below. I am not sure about the UK but I know in the USA when you purchase an App you can download it again for free without having to buy it again.

  • My Ipod touch apps are not working.

    My Ipod touch apps are not working. They attempt to appear but it seems like something is stopping them. They show up for less than a second then dissappear. Also all of my synced music dissappeared as well. I'm not sure if that is something in common?? I've tried resetting my ipod. I never link it to a computer, and that is why I synced my music from a friend. Please help me!

    Sorry I mean that I reset my settings. I havent reset the whole i pod. I want to try to keep all of my apps.

    Did you look at this previous discussion that I provided in my first reply?
    ios 6 and macosx 10.5 on a pre intel...: Apple Support Communities
    It say how to use a iTunes version 10.6.3 with OSX 10.5.8 and sync with iOS 5.
    OSX 10.6.8 is a paid upgrade for $29 but requires an Intel Mac. That last OSX for a Power PC G4 or G5 is 10.5.8.
