Original itouch (1st generation) needs to update to be able to add new apps

My daughter has the original itouch. It is the MA623LL with version 2.2.1 (5H11) installed. She said she cannot continue to add apps from itunes. It continually tells her to update. The itunes on our computer is updated to version 9.2.0.61 itunes 9. It tells her to update to iphone 3.0 software update. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this and if this is a software download I need to purchase.

As others have said, the 1st generation iPod Touch can take OS 3. My 1st Generation device actually has OS 3.1.3 on it. Regretfully, this device is not compatible with iOS 4, so there will be new software updates/releases that I can not install because they require iOS 4, but the device still works...

  • The iOS 3.1 upgrade for Itouch 1st generation

    I just bought the iOs 3.1 upgrade for my itouch 1st generation, though when it started
    downloading, it would stop and say "check that the connection to the network is active and try again"
    How can I fix this?

    Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

  • Know what apps will load on itouch 1st generation and which ones will not

    I have an itouch 1st generation running version 2.2.1. I want to load the program Brushes, which the requirements read: Compatible with iphone and itouch, requires iphone os 2.1 or later. Will this work on my itouch?
    I tried loading a program Inspire, which its requirements were: Compatible with iphone and itouch, requires iphone os 3.0 or later. This did not work, because I didn't have os 3 on itouch. When trying to upgrade, I cannot because I have a 1st generation. Is this correct? I'm assuming I can't load anything that has requirements for iphone or itouch, with iphone os 3.0 or later?!?!
    Thanks

    "I have an itouch 1st generation running version 2.2.1. I want to load the program Brushes, which the requirements read: Compatible with iphone and itouch, requires iphone os 2.1 or later. Will this work on my itouch"
    Yes it will work as your 2.2.1 is "2.1 or later."
    ", I cannot because I have a 1st generation. Is this correct?"
    No, you can indeed upgrade to 3.0 if you wish. The you can get apps that require 3.0 or later.

  • HT4623 I just bought an ipad form a friend. It says its up to date with iOS 5.1.1, but when I try to download apps it tells me I need to update to iOS 6.0 or newer but it wont let me

    My friend just sold me her ipad she got Jan 2013. The software says its up to date with iOS5.1.1, but when i try to download certain app it tells me I need to update to iOS6.0 or later but when i go to the setting there are no updates. so how do I add these apps? The person i bought it from doesnt know what generation becuase it was a present to her.

    The way you download older apps for the older, original iPad 1, as I understand it, is if you have iTunes installed on a computer, you purchase / download the new, current app, in the iOS App Store in iTunes on your computer. Then, go back to your iPad and go to the App Store app on your iPad and find the same app there and download it.
    When You select app to update/download, a message pop-up window appears asking if you want to download the last compatible version for your device (if one still exists ) tap OK and that should be it.

  • When trying to update or add new apps to our daughters iTouch she gets and error saying "cannot connnect to iTunes stores."  What to do?  We have reset the password, gone into the apple store and so much more.

    Hello jaybearden,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.

  • If I have the Snow Leopard OS do I need to update the Lion OS before the new Mountain Lion OS?

    If I have the Snow Leopard OS do I need to update the Lion OS before the new Mountain Lion OS?

    Apple has not detailed Mountain Lion's requirements or how it will be made available, and probably won't until much closer to release. So we cannot answer your question at this time. Keep an eye on Apple's web pages for Mountain Lion as well as the many Apple-related news web sites and I'm sure you'll see the announcement when it comes.
    Regards.

  • I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Put the app in the Trash and try to download it again. It should give you the up-to-date version. If it works, then you can empty the Trash.

  • Since the last software update, I am unable to add new contacts or change existing contacts - neither if I use the green Phone app nor using the brown Contacts app. Any suggestions?

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
    Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

  • HT4009 where is the agree button on I phone 4 to agree to new updated terms and conditions for downloading new apps?  read all info all 54pages but no agree button at end?

    where is the agree button on I phone 4 to agree to new updated terms and conditions for downloading new apps?  read all info all 54pages but no agree button at end?

    Try first signing out of the iTunes and App Store in Settings>iTunes and App Stores (tap on your apple ID and choose sign out) then sign back in.
    Then do a hard reset, hold down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until you see a white Apple then release.
    Then go ahead and try again, should work.
    I hope this helps!

  • How do I update my itouch 1st generation in 2012?  It's basically new - never been updated.

    How can I update my 1st generation iTouch to iOS 3.1?  Currently running 1.1.5.  I am running iTunes 10 on a PC.

    iOS 3.1 is a "paid for" upgrade. To purchase it, go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052.
    Using the "check for updates" in iTunes will not show it.
    Take into account that although there are still Apps that use iOS 3.1 (or even iOS 3.0), many Apps now require iOS higher than this, but the 1st generation Touch cannot install iOS above 3.1 and will not be able to use any App requiring higher iOS versions. As long as you understand this, don't let me put you off purchasing the upgrade.
