Re: how to get apps for iphone 3g 4.2.1 all apps support higher version help....

I still have an old 3G which I use mostly as a ipod/radio. By accident I found you can overide the i-tunes block.
1. Select Apps in Apps store icon on the phone.
2. Choose App to download
3. At "Instal" button press it QUICKLY in blocks of 3 presses, keep doing this until it overides the i-tune warning, then if there were legacy versions for os 4.2.1 it says something like "this app is for os 5 or above", but gives you a choice to download an older version. Select this.
Sometimes it says the Apps is for newer hardware, requiring motion sensors, front camera's etc.. just got to accept these ones don't work on legacy hardware.
4. Download does not work for all Apps, esp. newer ones written after os 4.21 or if the developer doesn't have the vintage apps archived- e.g. Instagram downloads, but won't run (wants to update), or WSJ and Barrons stalls and goes through a download loop.
I am not making this up, as I bought this old 3g unit on e-bay, after a complete factory reset I now have:
- Tune-in, FB, Pandora,Skype, Twitter, Bloomberg, MSNBC, Forbes, Marketwatch, Viber, amongst a host of other news apps like LATimes.
Some Apps will download ok, and then at activation says its too old and no longer supported e.g Whats App.
Otherwise, good luck. Tune-in, Pandora, Skype and Twitter is all I need to keep me happy with an old unit, even though I've got newer hardware. Never let anything die unnaturally.

How to get apps for ipod touch 3g

I have ipod touch 3g. Recently i have restored it without backing up. Other words, i lost all apps that i had. So, now i cannot install any apps because all of them have the newest IOS. Where can i find apps with old IOS for ipod 3g?
Thank you.

- First, yo really have a 2G iPod. A 2G can only go to 4.2.1 while a 3G can go to 5.1.1
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
For the apps you had:
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
To find compatible apps:

ITunes account, how to authorise apps for iphone, from an account in which password is not retrievable.

can someone please help me?
my mum got an Iphone 4 a few weeks after they were released. at the time, i had an itunes account of my own, and for a while, that account was used for appliction downloading. i then made her an account a few months ago, and have since been downloading from that. i recently put ios5 on her iphone, which removed all applications. i selected to apply them back on, but because some were downloaded from another account, in which i can not remember the password, and i have tried every previous password i have used, and i have gone through the "forgot password"options, but have never recieved any emails with a reset password code, from apple. i am hoping someone can give me a solution, as my mum is not very impressed with over 25 apps missing, because of this issue. thankyou, in advanced.

Here is a script that will examine each track in the entire iTunes library--or a selection of tracks--for items purchased from the iTunes Store (audio, video, and books) and then sort them by either the purchaser's name or account ID into discrete playlists, eg: "Tom Ryan Purchases" or "[email protected] Purchases". http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackdownpurchases
For apps, App Store Expenses gathers all iPhone applications from your iTunes folder on your computer, reads out the price information and presents the total amount of money you've spent on the Apple App Store. It provides a list selectable by the account that purchased each app. The app is a free download (donations requested) from: http://wetfish.de/software/osx/app-store-expense-monitor/

How to get pics in the iphoto app for iphone back onto my macbook pro

I need to know how to get my pics that are stored on iphone in the "iphoto app for iPhone" back onto my macbook pro's iphoto. macbook was recently wiped out (i didn't back up) during Genius Bar repair

See this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
The safest way would be to share all photos that are in iPhoto albums to the Camera Roll. When you connect the iPhone to your Mac and open iPhoto you can download the contents of the Camera Roll just like from any camera.

Printer control app for iphone

is it possible to roll back to a previous version of the Printer Control app for iphone? I recently and stupidly updated the HP Printer Control app when offered through itunes on October 30 and have lost all the functionality I previously had to print directly from my iphone to my photosmart 7520. Previously I could print whatever pages I chose from Safari and could change the print settings for either draft or normal, colour / black & white before printing. Now when I try to print a page, you don't get the option to just print page 1 and it wastes ink. If I open a pdf (all I've tried so far) document within this new AiO Remote app - even though my printer is listed and supposedly set up - I can't print at all! I desperately want to ditch this abysmal update and go back to the version that worked perfectly. I have conctacted Apple and they were unable to help as it's a third party app and referred me back to HP. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi brattynat. I have found a few older documents which might help you revert back.
Just to clarify, when you print from Safari, what are you clicking exactly to start your printing process?

How to remove apps on iphone permenantly

Team,
Please advise on how to remove apps from iphone 3GS permenantly. For example I have downloaded Skype from apps store and later since I did't like it I have unchecked it on my itunes and it doesn't show in my iphone. however in itunes / devices/iphone under apps it still shows. Is there a way to remove it from there.
Regards
Prasad

Have the same problem, but i found that if you go to music-itunes-mobile apps in the finder, then you can delete them yourself. This way the get removed from all the program lists in iTunes.
Hope it helps.
