Is there a way to download apps that require ios 7 on my ios 6 iPod Touch?

So I came across this forum as many others, just trying to find some answers as to why I can't or how I could get ios 7 on my 4th gen ipod touch... So I guess the answer is no, not possible and I suppose I can understand the reason as someone stated in another thread that it is because Apple does not want their users to have a bad experience and the 4th gen does not have the CPU nor the Ram for it to provide a usable and good experience... which leads me to the root of the problem. Read on...
You see, I don't really care about ios 7 and any of its features, what I do care about is that I can no longer download some apps now because there is this popup that tells me that the app only supports ios 7 and I need to update my device to the latest software, ios 7. So how then is my Apple experience, a positive experience if I am no longer allowed to download apps that I could before the ios 7 update even existed? a
Perhaps I'm wrong? Maybe there is a way for me to download and still use these apps. If that is the case, I would love to learn how.
Honestly, this is something that really makes me nervous as I am strongly considering switching from Android (After years of Apple hating) to my first Apple iPhone. But I would really hate to get me an iPhone 5s, only to find out that in a year I could no longer download apps because a new update will not work on my phone? Is that a possibility?

Well, no. It's because that the iPod 4th Gen has iOS 6 and the apps need iOS 7. I suggest that you get the new iPod 5 because it has iOS 7. Also the iPod 4 does not have enough CPU or RAM. The new iPod 5 has enough CPU and RAM to store iOS 7 apps.
Thanks!

Try downloading apps on your iPod (not on your Mac or PC). Apple now permits downloading "last compatible versions" of some apps.

Take a look at the "More Like This" to the right. That question has been asked and answered many times in the past.
Short answer: try alternate browsers like Skyfire or Puffin.

Is there a way to filter apps that are only available for your current version of ios

I have the first generation iphone. It still works pefectly and I would like to give it to my 1yo son, so that he can play around with it. It has latest supported ios 3.1.3. I went to the apple store to find some kid friendly apps for the device, only to find out that almost ever app requires a version of ios higher than 3.1.3. I understand that this is the limitation of old hardware. I just wish that there was a way for me to only see apps that would still work on my device. Currently, I have to click on the app, then start the download, only to get a message that says that I need ios > 3.1.3. I can also imagine that there are a lot of people out there who don't know the ios limits per device. Wouldn't it be better if the message read, "this app requires ios 4.3 which is supported on iphone 3 or higher" or even simpler "this app is not supported on your device. It is supported on iphone 3 or better". But the ios filter would go a really long way.
Thanks

Is there a way to download older versions of games compatible with ios 4.2 from itunes?

i have an ipod touch G2 and i just had to factory reset my device, and i was wondering if there is a way to get the older versions of games via itunes that are compatible with ios 4.2?

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.

IPod touch Gen3 cannot download apps that requires iOS5.

but when im going to update the software of the iPod the error 3194 or unknown error occur. i read the apple support instruction but for me it was so complicated. is there any simplified way to resolve this problem? thank you

Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1. If you try to install an latter version you will get the that error.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Is there any way to put music from itunes onto your 5th generation ipod touch without running iTunes 11?

Hi everyone...hoping someone can help me!
I have an older Macbook (I think 2008?) and I have Snow Leopard 6.8 but now the iTunes store is saying I cannot download Mountain Lion because my computer doesn't support it. I recently got a new iPod (the newest iPod touch) and would like to use it to actually listen to music as opposed to just using it for apps and Skype! Is there any way to get around this issue?
Thanks for the help!

iTunes 11 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8, and that iPod touch model is compatible with iTunes 10.7.

Is there a way to get a wallpaper behind the icons of the iPod Touch

I have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation and if there is a way to get the wallpaper behind the icons of the home screen without jailbreaking that would be cool. Is there going to be a software update for the iPod Touch soon that will make this possible? Apple should make that happen. I think lots of people would enjoy that feature or maybe there should at least be an app that could make this happen. Well, these are my thoughts on this. I'm sure I'm not the only that thinks about this (without having to jailbreak your iPod or iPhone and void the warrenty. Right).

Not at this time.

We are all just your fellow users and would have no way of answering that question.

I bought an app that can't run on my iPod Touch because it is too old. Can I gift the app to someone else or get a refund?

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation. I didn't even realize the new iPod Touch 5 had come out, or that my device would not support the newest iOS.
Recently, an app came out that I was looking forward to for months: "The Walk" by Six to Start (same folks who did the excellent "Zombies, Run!" app). I'm pregnant and I was hoping to have the app to encourage me to get back into my walking habit once I recovered from childbirth, so I bought it. Unfortunately, there was no warning or indication that this app would NOT work on my iPod Touch 4, and nothing to inform me that iOS 7 wouldn't be supported on my device. The app requires iOS 7 or higher to run, so it won't work on my iPod Touch at all. I didn't realize any of this until I tried to install it.
So now I have this app that I paid for, but have never used, and CAN never use (unless I shell out $300+ for a new device, which I cannot do, as a stay-at-home parent-to-be with no income of my own anymore). I'm annoyed that I can't use this app that I really wanted, but it would help if I could at least get a refund or maybe send the app to someone who CAN use it.
Is there anything I can do at this point, or do I just have to live with the fact that I wasted money on an app that I can't use?

You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Can't delete app. that was added via web from ipod touch

hey,
I am having a problem getting rid of an app that I add to my touch via the web. It came from the itunes store but wasn't synced thru my itune on my computer.I can't get rid of it even thru itunes, because it isn't on my app list just shows on my third home screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get rid of it?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions,
did you try to touch the app icon on your screen until it starts to shake and shows the little cross? Hit the cross to delete it from your ipod and press the home button to stop the shaking of the icons again.

Is there ANY way to download apps for my newly acquired iPhone 3GS?

Hi there,
I recently bought an old iPhone 3GS handset off my friend, which she understandably compltely wiped, including apps. The problem which neither of us realised is that she had plenty of apps because she had obviously downloaded them when current versions were available for the 3GS. Frustratingly, I can no longer download basically ANY apps because they are not available for iOS 4.2.1 anymore. Is there a solution to this?? or am I completely stuck. I can't download even what I would have thought as 'standard' such as facebook, twitter, google maps etc.
Grateful for any help

If you have an iPhone 3GS, you can upgrade to iOS 6.1.2.

Is there a way or an app that let me transfer files from or to my memory stick using the camera Kit?

I'm looking for a technic idk something that can help me transfer files between an iDevice like iPad or iPhone and my memory stick !! I'm sure Apple will sell way more products adding this option to the devices. They can,like, dedicate a seperated disk space to unprotected files or sth.

The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files from a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.
