Previous Apps from Old Ipod wont download on New ipod, says "unavailable"

traded in my ipod touch 4th gen for a new one because the screen was going crazy, but now all the apps i had on my last wont download on my new ipod, basic apps such as facebook, tumblr, ibooks, and games i had, its says "the item you tried to buy is no longer available". But when i download an app i didnt have on my previous ipod it does download. HELP???

Just purchased 2 new iPod touches, thought this was related to setting up 2 accounts for my daughters. However, one works just fine, the other is having the same "unavailable" problem. Guess which is having the problem... the one for which I installed the new update. Now what? Should I call tech support, or can I delete the update somehow?

  • Need to sync Apps from old Ipod to new Iphone on different computers

    I have apps on my old Ipod touch that I want to put on my new Iphone. My Ipod is synched to my PC, but I want to sync my new Iphone to my Macbook Pro. I also want to put the old apps on my Ipod and put them on my Iphone. What should I do?

    Sign into the Apple ID used to purchase them on you iPhone (in Settings>Store), then download the apps as past purchases directly to the phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).  Prior to syncing with your MacBook Pro, disable automatic syncing in iTunes (iTunes Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically").  Then connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar, right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases (to transfer the apps to your iTunes library).  You will also need to authorize your computer for this Apple ID in iTunes (under Store>Authorize this computer) in order to sync these apps to your phone.

  • Prior Apps from 4S are darkened out on new 6, says waiting when I try to open them.

    Apps from my 4S are darkened out and won't open in my new 6. Says waiting when I try to open.

    Apps downloaded from the iTunes app store only be used on an iOS device i.e. iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch (and some apps can't be used on all three of those device types) - they can't be used on a PC or Mac, they are not compatible.

  • Copy purchased apps from old MacBook Pro onto a new one

    How to get alls the purchased apps of my first MacBook Pro  copied onto my new MacBook Pro?

    I've starting understanding your points.
    1. I've checked the compatibility of one app appearing in the list of available updates on the new macbook pro. The update requires OX 10.9.1, whereas the Operating system on the new MacBook is OX 10.8.5. I have already upgraded the OX on the previous MacBook pro to OX 10.9.1. So I've just started to upgrade the OX version on the new MacBook.
    2. I assume all are Apple applications as they were all pirchased or downloaded through Apple Store.

  • I bougth a macbook used from another person. I already set all accounts to my apple id, but only in APP STORE, when I try download the new version of a app, it request the old apple id from the another guy. I already terminate the session and init another

    I bougth a macbook from anotner person.
    I already change th apple id in all places.
    But only in app store when I choose download the new release of a app, it request the password of the old apple id, and i can't switch this apple id to my apple id.
    Where i should change for this?

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

  • I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

  • New iPad restore from old ipod backup - Apps not transferring

    Am trying to set up new iPad Air (on iOS 7) for son. He has an old iPod Touch running 6.1.5. I backed it up yesterday. I wanted to bring all data from that over to the new iPad. I obviously want this to happen so he will be able to pick up playing his games where he left off and not have to start all over again.So, have followed steps to restore from backup. But not one single app will transfer across.
    I've tried twice, reset to factory the 2nd time and tried again but still not one app appears. I get a message saying
    Settings and data from some apps are not compatible with iPad and will not be restored.
    but I can't believe that not one single app is compatible, he has loads of games on his old iPod!
    Can anyone help me - need to get this sorted before the big day tomorrow!
    Thanks

    Kind of answering my own question here.... have just done a ton more research, and tucked away in a tutorial on how to do the transfer, I found someone had the same problem as me. This was his answer

    So after much time with apple support….  You need to “transfer purchases” to your computer via iTunes before making the backup.  And the iPads need different names or it may automatically back itself up, and that may end up being what you restore from (which of course would end up doing nothing).
    In my case it seemed to be just transferring purchases from old iPod to iTunes see how to do it here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848http://
    Go to 2nd para to transfer from device to iTunes.
    Hope that will help someone frantically trying to do it before Christmas.
    TIP do it soon as it is taking ages for the 83 apps he has to copy across...

  • If i download with icloud some apps from an ipod will it reset the one that i recieve on my ipad or will it give me the game where it actually is on that board

    hi i need to find out if i use icloud which i dont know how to yet  to download an app from my ipod to my grandsons new ipad mini will the came come through at the point that it is in, i mean will the app on the ipad be restarted the game

    It depends on the game. If the game itself supports iCloud-based saves or account saves (say for instance you login with an email address/password) and is NOT tied to the device's universally unique identifier (UUID), then everything may transfer over to the new device. But then again, it may not. As mentioned, UUID is used on some games/apps and ties that particular device to the save game (or other data).
    The only way to know for sure is to install the game/app on the new device and try it. You'll need to be using the same Apple ID to download the game to the new device (or repurchase it if it's under a different Apple ID) and you'll probably need to also login/sign in to any associated accounts for the game.

  • How can i transfer apps from an ipad to a brand new ipod?

    How can i transfer apps from an ipad to a brand new ipod?

    All of your apps should be on your computer.
    Just sync them to the new device.
    You can also redownload
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Not all apps are compatible with both iphone/ipod and ipad.  Some are universal.

  • How do I sync an app from my iPod Touch to iPad 1 without losing its data?

    I am using a baseball simulator app called 9 Innings on my iPod Touch. Is it possible to sync this app from my iPod to my iPad 1 without losing all of the data? (season stats, milestones, etc.) When I tried to sync it to my iPad, I had to start all over from scratch. Any help? Thanks.

    App data and app settings are contained in the iDevice backup and not stored in iTunes on your computer. Syncing the app will not sync the game save progress to your iPad. The progress should be saved if you restore the iPad from th iPod backup. The only problem with this is - if you restore the iPad from the iPod backup - all of the data that was on the iPod will now be on the iPad.
    So if you absolutely have to have the game synced to the iPad with all of the saved data in place, the only way to do that is to restore the iPad from the iPod backup and then sync the game to the iPad - or download it again via the purchased tab in the App Store.

  • How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?
    How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like discusssed here:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    - Try to make a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup
    - Restore the iPod from backup and sync as necessary.

  • I own an iPod Touch 4g. Now i'm planning to buy iPod Touch 5g. Is it possible for me to register the new one with existing Apple ID so that i can transfer the apps from my existing account to my new Ipod 5g?

    I own an iPod Touch 4g. Now i'm planning to buy iPod Touch 5g. Is it possible for me to register the new iPod with existing Apple ID so that i can transfer the apps from my existing account to my new Ipod 5g?

    There should definitely be no issue. You can register more than one Apple device with the same Apple ID and get the same apps on both devices without having to pay for the apps again.
    Alternatively, if you want all your settings to say the same, do a backup of your old iPod Touch and then whe you receive the new iPod, restore the backup on it and it'll save you the trouble from having to redownload everything.
    Cheers.
