My iPod Touch (4th G) - Where's App Store App?

I just bought this for my son and neither Messages nor App Store apps were there. I just updated to 5.0.1 and, after working for about 30 mins last night "organizing" apps on specific pages for my son, the apps are now where Apple/iTunes wants to put it. The Message app is now there, but not the App Store one. Any ideas?

Hi jtcollins,
Try going to the main Home Screen and swiping left to right to start the Spotlight feature. Type "App Store" into the search box and it should come up.
If it's missing, you may have accidentally enabled Parental Controls. To turn those off, go to Settings > General > Restrictions and turn them off.
Hope this helps,
O.C.

  • Using Apple IOS Numbers on my iPod Touch 4th gen, where would I find... ummm... let's say b200?

    Using Apple IOS Numbers on my iPod Touch 4th gen,
    where would I find... ummm... let's say b200??
    I use the row numbers and column alphabet all the time, and yet they don't appear on the IOS5 version of Numbers.
    This is kinda short-sighted, isn't it? On the desktop version they show up just by clicking on a cell.

    Yeah, we in the real world call it stupid design.
    I discovered a real stupid, stupid, stupid way of seeing the header columns and the row numbers. You need to select a cell, and double tap it and the keypad pops up, at the top of the keypad window is a black wide tool button-bar with "42", "a clock symbol ", a "T" and an "="  The "42" stands for numbers, stars dollar signs, ±, etc. The "Clock symbol" is to put in days, hours, minutes... that sort of thing. The "T" is for words. AND the "=" is for formulas and stuff. HOWever, when you selct the "=" the column header (ABC...etc) and the Row numerators appear! Done so you CAN select certain column and rows to include those certain cells for calculations.
    What a crappy design, right? Must be an engineer without any human interface design skills whatsoever who designed THIS Numbers for ios GUI... you have to hunt through crap to find the simplest of spreadsheet information. A real human interface designer would have made it easy option (for aesthetic reasons or "save space" Hah. Save space on a spreadsheet... why do you think they call them SPREADsheets anyway?).
    And while we are on the Stupid, Engineer-Minded GUI, whose idea was to make you shake your ios device to "UNDO"?  There is plenty of space where the title "Spreedsheets"  and 3 toolbar buttons are located at the top of the spreadsheet workspace for a simple ø <--(circle with a line symbol)
    This Numbers for IOS needs a big retooling.

  • How much would it cost to bring my ipod touch 4th generation to the apple store and get my 8gb of storage upgraded to 16 gb?

    how much would it cost to bring my ipod touch 4th generation to the apple store and get the storage upgraded from 8gb to 16gb?

    Apple doesn't do trade ins. You can get 10% off your next purchase for recycling your old iPod through Apple.You'd do better to erase your iPod and sell it on ebay, then use the money toward a new iPod. Hope this helps, good luck, Cheers.

  • Got a used iPod touch 4th gerneration, and most apps are not able to be d/l with iOS6. Is there a way to get the older, compatible apps on my iPod touch?

    How do I get older versions of apps to download to my iPod touch 4th generation?

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    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.

    - 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 another cable                                                       
    - 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.

  • If you only get an 8g ipod touch 4th generation, how many apps can you get

    I want to know if i get an Ipod touch 8G 4th generation, how many apps can i get?

    I have one and yeah, as others have mentioned, it depends what apps you're putting on it. However, I have found myself extremely restricted by the 8GB limit. I can only put about a single home screen's worth of new apps on my iPod without it running out of space, and that was after deleting all music, photos, and videos. So... I definitely recommend getting a larger capacity.

  • After the iOS 6.1 update on the iPod touch 4th Gen no more app updates

    I can no longer download updates from the iTunes update page. It shows a number of updates in the label but no icons to download. I have tried a hard reset and signing out and back in to my iTunes account to no avail. Any other tips?
    Cheers

  • My iPod touch 4th gen. Is saying that it is charging but the green part on the battery, when it's is plugged up, is not going up. Why?

    Ok so I just had bought a new iPod touch 4th generation from an apple store just at the end of last year and until now, it has been working awesome! But just today, I have it plugged up into a wall outlet and it says it was charging for a while but I kept an eye on it and every time I looked at the screen, I could tell the life of the battery had not gone up at all. I have tried resetting it by pressing the home and lock buttons but when I turn it back on and plug it in, the green part of the battery still has not gone up while it has been plugged up for at least an hour ! Do it need to take it to the apple store and ask them why it is doing this or can I do something about it that will actually make it charge? It is worrying me and I would like for the problem to be fixed as soon as possible.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I cannot download Adobe Reader app using my IPod Touch 4th Generation due to iOS upgrade.

    I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation (the older model) and the highest operating system stops at iOS 6.1.6. Unfortunately, when I tried to download Adobe Reader app, it only works for the newer IPod Touch 5th Generation with an operating system of iOS 7.0 or higher. My question is that since I cannot download Adobe Reader app, is there a way for me to open PDF files on my IPod Touch by using Safari? There is no way I can find an Adobe Reader app that works for my operating system or an operating system that works for iOS 6.0 or lower. Is there another program similar to Adobe Reader where I can open PDF files that works for iOS 6.0 or lower?
    Thanks.

    Krispy2010,
    Please note that my instructions are intended for Adobe Reader for iOS, not for all iOS apps in general.
    Adobe Reader for iOS does offer earlier compatible versions for iOS 5 and 6 via the App Store.  Because the supported iOS version for Adobe Reader for iOS is 5 or later.
    Tech specs | Adobe Reader mobile app
    However, I cannot speak for other apps, such as Costco app and NFL app that you have mentioned.  It is up to each individual app developer/company to decide whether to take advantage of Apple's App Store's features to offer earlier versions.
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App Store or Mac App Store.

  • I lost the App Store on my iPod touch 4th generation, how do I get it back?

    Hi, I lost the App Store on my iPod touch 4th generation, how do I get it back?
    I wasn't talking about "Apple Store" app, but the one blue icon like where you can update apps... I don't remember how did it get disappears... because I was about to restore the back-up but when it's done after that, it's not there...
    It's also happens on my old iPod touch 2nd gen, too (not the app store but on Music player where "Recently Added" been disappeared too)...

    really? aww... but dont remember if i did...
    well im already following what you said, cos i am up to "restrictions", thanks i just turn off...

  • IPod Touch 4th gen unable to install apps

    Not sure where to start really. OK basically my iPod touch 4th gen is unable to download apps from the app store or any content from the iTunes app, the only way I can get new content on to my device is to sync it with iTunes on my mac (which isn't convenient for me)
    after about 3 weeks of running my iPod without any problems, it starts out of nowhere and it doesn't matter what firmware I am running (it has happened on 4.1 and 4.2.1) the only way to fix it is a full DFU restore even more annoying than not being able to install apps without my mac.
    Here is the message I get: http://i.min.us/ijfOIK.PNG
    Anyone know what is up with my iPod? I have an old Touch 2G as well and its never done this to me.
    Note: i am not jailbroken, but i have a few friends and family members that are jailbroken and have never had this problem.
    if anyone knows anything i would appreciate it as i am now on my 13th DFU restore thanks to this problem

  • Ipod touch 4th generation, screen doesn't work in certain apps.

    Hi i have a Ipod touch 4th generation. I have somewhat of a weird problem, at least i think it is. My ipod touch screen works really well just opening apps on the springboard any where on the screen. Also in certain apps I have no problems, but in others it seems that it will not let me click on buttons toward the bottom. I found this odd because in other apps i have no problem and everything seems responsive.  I have done some of my own troubleshooting and apps like google maps and the email app work fine. But other apps such as fatbooth, facebook and instagram I cannot touch icons anywhere near the bottom they just dont registar. Any help?

    Sounds like a hardware issue. Your screen digitizer may need to be replaced.
