My Ipod 4th generation does not have the app store!

Hello i recently bought an ipod 4th generation that was 8gb but when i turned it on i noticed that there is no app store. the version is on 6.1.6 what can i do to make the app store appear again please help thanks!

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPod has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

My iPod (first generation) cannot connect to the app store nor iTunes. What can I do so that it connects again?

My iPod (first generation) cannot connect to the app store nor iTunes. What can I do so that it can connect and I can install apps or music once more? Also, when I go on the internet and try to search solutions, it freezes and I have to hold the power button for 20 seconds for it to go to lock screen. Any solutions?

Safari does work, right?

You don't need 10.5. Skip it and buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

My iPod touch with iOs 5 does not have the iTunes store app on it. How can I get it?

I have recently upgraded my touch 4g to iOs 5, and I love the new iOs. There is only one problem, the native iTunes app does NOT EXIST. I have no problem connecting to the itunes store on my pc itunes program, but my ipod touch DOES NOT HAVE THE ITUNES APP and therefore has no way to access the itunes store mobilely. Please help. I tried restoring in itunes, did so, and still do not have the itunes store app on my ipod.

You probably have restrictions set.

How can I upgrade from an older OSX to Lion, I do have the requisite processor. I did not have Snow Leopard, so I do not have the App Store.

The people at the Apple Store told me to wait on an upgrade to Snow Leopard because Lion was coming out soon. However, without Snow Leopard, I can not get the App Store.
I have OSX 10.58 and a processor big enough to support Lion.

So you need to upgrade to Snow Leoapard first so you can access the Mac App Store in order to download Lion.
Snow Leoapard is available from the online store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM.

TS4268 How do you download imessage on your ipod if it doesn't have the app store?

I want to download imessage on my ipod (very old version) but when i bought it it did not come with the app store or imessage.

You can't. The Apple Messages app comes with iOS 5 as does the wifi update option.
Only the 3G and later iPod can go to iOS 5.

Why my new ipad mini does not have an app store icon?

I received a new ipad mini as a gift. It came in the original state, unopen, unused, seal intact. After doing the necessary set-up, I found that both the App Store and iTune icons were missing from the home page. I am therefore unable to purchase new apps. Any one facing such problem before? Any advice? Thanks.

Yup, too many children were making purchases and doing things they were supposed to do. So engineering thought this would solve it

Ipod 4th gen does not power up

My ipod 4th generation does not power up. I charged 1 hour on computer and another hour via power outlet and reset the device by simultaneously pressing the sleep/wake button on top and the wheel in the lower front. Nothing. What do I do next? I am looking at self-help replacing the battery, logic board or hard drive but do not know how to tell which one it is. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
I have no idea of how to troubleshoot what is wrong/what to fix. There is no harder drive in the iPod Just flash memory soldered to the logic board

I have dont have the app store application...how do i get it?

I don not have the app store on my dock. looking to upgrade to moutain lion from the snowleopard but cannot because i dont have the app store. How do i go about this?

I said:
If you have 10.6, but something lower than 10.6.6, you can run a simple Software Update.
But since you DON'T have 10.6, you will need to call Apple and order it. Good luck.
I should also add, you might consider upgrading to something even later (but you will still need 10.6 first), since not all App Store applications support 10.6, but may support 10.7 or 10.8.

HT4623 i just bought an iPad from a friend. I think is generation 1 or 2 not sure where to look for this. Bottom line, I would like to update it to iOS7. Is this possible? It does not have the option for software update.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom
