Itunes on win8 won't let me install any apps to my ipod (iOS4.2.1,i think 3rd gen)ports

i downloaded some apps for my ipod via itunes on win8, every time i try to sync an app to my ipod, i get a message saying that it wasn't installed because it requires a newer version of ipod software, even if the app says it supports this version.

Just what are the words that make you believe the app is compatible with iOS 4.2.1? A lot of apps not reuire iOS 4.3 or higher.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

The app stor won't let me install any app at all on my iPad 2?

I have tried to install apps on my iPad 2. I press on the install app , I put in my password then nothing happens it just goes back to normal and doesn't install the app. Can any one help. It does it with every app I try to install

On your iPad go to Settings > General > About and see if the available space agrees with what iTunes reports. There is a long standing bug in iTunes that inaccurately reports free space on an iDevice. I currently see a 1.4 GB difference between my iPhone and what iTunes reports and I've seen much worse. Sometimes a restore from a backup will help. Also, how much room is occupied by "other"?

Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

Where are you physically located?
What country's Store are you using?
The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. .

My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. Any time I try it sends me to a billing screen. I enter my information and it wnt accept it. Been doing it for over a month. Even with free apps. Very frustrating please help

It appears that there is something incorrect with your billing information. You need to correct it. For a standard account you need a valid payment method even for free apps. You can however create a new account that is only good for apps by:

At that point I was able to rearrange some memory to accomadate it's size thanx for the help.

My ipod 4th gen wont let me download any apps on my ipod.. what do i do?

my ipod wont let me download any apps what do i do??

If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
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.
For iTunes installation probolem problem maybe:
Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
solving MSVCR80
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
Otherwise post n the iTunes forum

Problem is, it won't let me put it onto my ipod touch!

What happens when you try? Is the App compatible with your version of iPod Touch? Compatible with your version of the iOS.

TS2446 iTunes won't let me download any apps even free ones

My iTunes will let me log in but I can't download any apps at all. It says there is a problem with my billing even though there isn't. Help

For one reason or another, most likely you got a debt due to an unpaid order. It happens.

TS3297 It won't let me install free apps. Does there have to be money on the credit card I use?

When I try to install free apps. It says there was a problem with a previous billing and to contact iTunes support store. What do I do?

Make sure your credit card info on file is up-to-date, sometimes this issue comes up due to an expired credit card. Also take a look at this link, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3840858?start=0&tstart=0

I have enough free space on my storage but yet it won't let me install the app. I have checked the size of the app and I have more than enough room. How can I fix this?

If you could post a resolution or an explanation it would be much appreciated. Regards

Do yo really have enough free storage?
To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

I've been given an old iPod Touch.. On the back it says it's form 2008. It won't let me download any apps. Nothing is compatible. How can I update it to a newer version when it says it's already up to date?

My friend gave me his old iPod touch. The version is up to date but still won't let me download ANYTHING. Why? The version is 4.2.1 and I was wondering if there is any way I can download a newer version. Help!
