My iPod touch 2nd Gen won't install ipa's from the app store or iTunes. What should I do?

I have tried to install apps via the app store and via iTunes. I am using a freshly restored stock 4.2.1 firmware.

- Yes, the app in question was 'Doodle Jump' which states that it is compatible with iPod touch 4.2.1
- No, restrictions are switched off
- I get a message of iTunes saying 'iTunes is unable to sync iPod'
- When I purchase the application via App Store on my iPod, I get a 'bubble message' saying "Unable to Download Application" 'Doodle Jump will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Store on your computer'
The issue is only with my iPod touch, I don't experience this issue with my iPhone or iPad.
I have already purchased 'Doodle Jump' on my iPhone and it installed correctly from the App Store.

  • I have an ipod touch 2nd generation.I want to purchase games from the app store like Temple Run but it says I can't.Is there a way to update this ipod?

    I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation. I bought a Itunes card and when I went to add game apps(like Temple Run) to my Ipod it said I couldn't.Is there a way to upgrade this ipod without having to buy a new one to be able to play the games?

    You can update it to 4.2.1
    Open itunes, connect ipod.  If there is an update available, then it will prompt you to update.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Why won't my ipod touch 2nd gen sync with my Windows 8 laptop?  It worked last week, but not since latest Windows update on my laptop. Has anyone found a solution to this?

  • IPod touch 2nd gen won't let me get Apps

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen that is operating 4.2.1, and it no longer has App Store, or iTunes. This means that I cannot download any apps or even access music downloads. I have synced with the newest version of iTunes, and the App section is grayed so I cannot access it there either. Therefore, my Touch is reduced to an mp3 player, and I didn't pay for an iPod to just play music! Any suggestions??

    Sounds like Apps have been restricted.  Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure they are turned off.

  • After iOS5 upgrade, iPod touch 2nd gen won't let me edit calendar events

    I have an iPod touch 2nd gen with the old processor, so I'm stuck using iOS 4.2.1 on the touch.
    Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and new iPad running Lion/iOS 5.
    Before I upgraded to iOS 5, I could edit calendar events from either my macbook or from my Touch.  Now, I can't edit calendar events on the Touch, and when I add new ones from the Touch, the options are restricted (e.g., I can't designate which calendar the item belongs to).
    Please help!  This functionality is very important to me because I take the Touch to work, but not my other mac devices, so I need to be able to edit on the go.
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • How do I get a picture to look like the audi example picture (2nd one) when you download motion 5 from the app store?

    Im looking to remake this picture that is an example when you download motion 5 from the app store. Apple gives you 5 example pictures to kind of show off what the program can do and I want to replicate the 2nd one. I like how the picture is divided into multiple different sized boxes and I dont know the presets needed to make another picture like that. Any tips are welcome. Thanks.

    Thanks for the help folks, sorry I've been away.
    I'd love help with the problem of why I only one track seems to accept clips to play. When I drag them to other tracks or create a track by dragging the clips are grayed out and won't play, but if I drag them to the one track where they're blue they play.

  • Where is the install package stored from the app store for Lion?

    This is an all new way of deploying OS updates from Apple. From what I can see, this presents some issues:
    1. Where is the install package that I bought from the app store, and how can I save that offline?
    2. If there's a problem with my device in the future, I have no media of Lion to restart from- so what's the procedure to restore from a TM backup? Go back to 10.6, and then to the 10.7 update?
    3. What if I want to boot from disc or a drive? I don't have a copy of the install to make a bootable image.
    Thanks for the help

    OK, once you install Lion the Installation Package gets deleted. However once you have installed Lion, do following:
    - Open the AppStore Application
    - With pressed Option (on German Keyboard ALT) Key klick on the "Purchased" Tab!
    - You will now see that the prviously greyed out "Install" key for Lion becomes active
    - Download the install package
    - Do not start installation
    - In order to create a bootable DVD or USB drive containing the installer follow instructions posted on
    http://www.macworld.com/article/161069/2011/07/make_a_bootable_lion_installer.ht ml
    This is how you can create installation media.
    For maintenance options (means your Lion installation has some problems but your drive is still OK)
    you can boot from the hidden recovery partitions that was created when you installed Lion.
    To do so, press the Option (ALT) Key while booting. You will have now the option to boot from
    Lion or recovery partition.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to re-install Mainstage purchased from the App Store onto new drive

    I recently purchased Mainstage 2.2.1 from the App Store. It automatically downloaded and installed the app onto my drive (not giving me a physical installer dmg, I guess this is normal). My system was slow so I decided to buy an SSD drive and install it in place of the Superdrive as a dedicated music drive. After installing Lion and booting from this new drive I went to the App store assuming I could simply re-install the app but there is no option for that. Does anyone know how I can do this?
    Thanks

    Just just launch the Mac App Store, select the "Purchased" tab and download MainStage or any other application you already bought.

  • Can I delete Pages 3.0.3 if I installed 4.1 from the App Store?

    I just upgraded my old MacBook to Snow Leopard. Now that I have access to the App Store, I wanted to upgrade iWork '08 to '09. I purchased, downloaded, and installed Pages 4.1 from the App Store. However, I now appear to have two versions of Pages installed on the machine. Both appear to work fine independently, but I'm afraid that 4.1 may be piggy backing on 3.0.3 and I want to make sure I can remove 3.0.3 without affecting 4.1.
    Thanks for any reassurance you can give me!

    I have both on my machine without any problem. I just make sure I know which one I am working in. Pages 08 is better to use if you copy and paste from the Net.
