IPod touch wont update apps but it will install new ones?

My iPod touch 4th with ios 6.1.6 wont update apps, but i can install a new one.
I go to the app store, updates, they show up i can hit update all or do them separately doesn't matter.
Click on update it will switch to installing and ask for my password. Enter it and the installing will change back to update and do nothing.
I have 47GB of space and no more later versions of ios to upgrade to. This one particular app upgrade only requires ios 4. something.
With all this i am still able to install a new app and make purchases.
Any Advise

Go to the App Store and look at the requirements for the update. The update may require iOS 7 or higher. Sometimes updates get coded incorrectly and thus the iPod says an update is applicable when it really is not.

IPod touch wont play apps

Hey I just put some apps onto my iPod touch from the app store on my touch, and when I try to play them it loads up what looks like the first page of the app, then just jumps back to my home page. What do I do?

- typoHi,
1. Try a Reset, hold both buttons down for about ten seconds, ignore the "Slide to turn off" and only let go when the Apple logo pops up in the middle of the screen. Wait a minute or two and your Touch will restart.
Try the App.
2. Remove the App by unchecking, resynch. Then reinstall.
Try App.
3. As 2 but redownload the App from Appstore.
Try App again.
Come back if no go.

my ipod touch works fine appart from the screen is very dark and adjusting the brightness doesnt work how can i fix it

Back up first (Time machine) as much as possible.
Un-install and re install Itunes.
First and foremost download the updated iTunes from apple website. After downloading Uninstall itunes and all its component ( Dont worry, itunes library where your movies and music is located will not be deleted. Please follow instructions on the apple support page). The problem might be the AppleMobileDevice.kext

My 2nd gen. ipod touch wont download apps

Whenever I try to download a game on my ipod touch (its uploaded to the newest version) the icon pops up and the loading bar is on the icon but it never fills up and after a couple seconds it just disappears! I've already turned it off and back on to see if that would work and it didn't! I deleted a lot of pictures and videos and other apps and I have a ton of open memory, but I can't figure out whats wrong! Help! i don't have time to go to the apple store and there isn't one nearby anyway, and the internet connection is good. I've never had this problem before and I have good Wi-fi so I dont know what to think. HELP!

I had this issue before and it was related to security restrictions set on the touch itself
On the touch itself go to: Settings->General->Restrictions
If there is a restrict for Installing Apps the Apps page will be greyed out in itunes

Ipod touch wont update

I just had the screen replaced on my ipod touch and tried to sync it to my laptop.Itunes said i needed to update ti version 5.1 on my ipod. When i tried to update it quit halfway saying that there was an error restoring it. It is now stuck showing an usb cord and the itunes logo telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes doesnt show its connected. Every time i try to reboot it it shows the apple logo for a sec and goes back to the screen i just described and none of the support topics were able to give a solution to this that worked. Anyone else have this problem and knows how to fix it?

Restart your iTunes, your computer and your iPod. Then open your computer and your iTunes then have your device connected. Then restore your device by doing the DFU mode. That should work.

Another question
Is sync the iphone or iPod with itunes will sync only apps or all others like contacts, calender, music, books ,,,,, ?

Thanks for your reply, but may be I was not clear for what I am asking about
I have 2 iphones and 1 ipod touch
I need all apps only to be in the 2 iphones and ipod.
I need to separate the contacts, as each device has its own contacts, calender, books and music
Music is not downloaded from apple, they are from the computer hard disk.
Noting that all apps are downloaded using 1 acount and I have 2 other acounts (Total of 3 acounts).
Any way to do this ?!!
Thanks for your cooperation

I recently found my daughter's ipod touch. She has replaced it with a newer one. I thought it would be great to give to my four year old, however I can't download apps becuase it says I need ios 4.3. Is it possible to get that on an older model? Do I

I recently found my daughter's old ipod touch. I wanted to give it to my four year old. We can't get apps because a message appears saying we need ios 4.3. Is that something I can get or is this product useless at this point?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

I have the old ipod touch without the camera and i received a new one with camera as a gift how do I transfer eveything to new ipod from old?

I have the old ipod touch(without camera) and I received the new one (with camera) as a gift. How do I transfer everything from old one to new one?

Make one final USB sync with the old iPod. The sync includes a backup. Then connect the new iPod to the same computer/iTunes library and restore from the backup of the old iPOd. All the synced media like apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media is not included in the backup that iTunes makes. For how to restore see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
