Reverting to older version of an app

Last night, I inadvertently updated an app on my iphone that I did not wish to update. If I have the older version of the app stored in my itunes library can I restore the older version of the app on my iphone and if that is possible how would I restore the app to my phone? I have already tried deleting the app off my phone and syncing the phone to itunes.. but when I sync my phone it no longer adds the app to my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please bare with me I am a complete novice about these things.. Here is what I did (which didn't work)..
1. I deleted the app off my phone.
2. Despite the phone syncing when I plugged my phone into the computer the old version of the app is still showing in my itunes library. (I am still showing that an update is available for it). If I had the new version updates wouldn't be available correct?
3. Went to my device.. right clicked and selected "Backup".
4. Synced phone. (Had" My device" open and synced using button on lower right side of the screen).
The sync did not add the app to my phone.

    My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.

    I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses).  For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
    For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

  • Can I get an older version of an app that is compatible with my IOS?

    Can I get an older version of an app that is compatible with my IOS? I understand that time marches on, and I'll miss out on newer apps and features, but there really should be a way to get the latest app that is available for your specific IOS. I think this is the one thing that makes me seriously consider dropping iPhone for Android/Google/Windows. 

    Thanks for the quick reply Niel! Well, I followed your instructions, and since it is an Apple App (Podcasts), they don't allow the older version evidently. It just grinds my gears. I get that it is no longer supported, and it may not work with newer podcasts, but let me deal with it not working on everything. As it is, it won't play anything since I can't download it! Thanks again.

  • I have an iPad1 which I have reset and am preparing to give to a kid.  I now find that I can't reinstall many apps as they now seem to require IOS 6 or greater.  This is IOS 5 and can't be upgraded.  Is there a way to find the older versions of the apps?

    One of these links may help:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • Is it possible to download an older version of an app?

    I have an app that was recently updated, but once I updated it, i found out that certain functions couldn't be used. Is it possible for me to go back and download an older version of the app so that i could still access the older functions?

    Whew, I know nothing about iOS7, have never even touched a Cell Phone!

  • Can I erase older versions of mobile apps in the mobile applications folder within iTunes folder

    Can I erase older versions of mobile apps in the mobile applications folder within iTunes folder without distuebing their running in my iPhone and iPad? Thank you

    should be okay.
    in any event, if something happens, you can always redownload previous purchases:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store (the music feature currently works in the US only)

  • HT201272 Why I cant download Pages for iOS 8 in an iPod touch 4th genereation if there is an option for download an older version of the app?

    I already bought pages in the past, I changed my store from Mexico to the US, whatever I can download the app for free thanks to my past purchase. I want to install Pages in a restored iPod touch 4th generation with my account (I bought pages with that account) and I want to install it; it tells me that I can´t all because it requires iOS 8. I have known about a feature that lets you download an older version of the app compatible with your device. I would like to known how to download the app successfully inside the device with the older version for compatibility.

    If you can download an older compatible version of the Pages app then you should be able to do so via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on the iPod - but it's possible that Apple doesn't allow it for the Pages app.

  • How can I check to see if there is an older version of an app compatable with 4.2.1 before purchase?

    how can I check to see if there is an older version of an app compatable with 4.2.1 before purchase? I don't want to buy an app later to realize there isn't a version supporting my Ipod...

    Apple does not track iPhones reported as stolen, nor
    has AT&T claimed that it currently does so but has
    announced that it is considering doing so in the future.

  • HT204266 How do I find an older version of an app?

    Because I have an older iPad that I just inherited, I can't run important apps now that the new iOS update has come out.  Does anyone know if there is a way to get older versions of the apps from apple?  I have already checked with the developers, who say that apple should offer an older and compatible version of their app.  But, when I got to download them I just get the message that I need to update to ios 6.1.1. 

    If an older version is not in Apple's Itunes store, you can't get it.

  • How do I revert back to an older version of an app

    I have an old Gen2 iTouch with iOS 4.2.1 that I only use for music ans some basic time killer apps. Since none of the newest updated versins of the Facebook app will run on it I want to know how to revert back to an old running version. I do not want to go buy a new iTouch since this one works fine for what I use it for.
    Any suggestions?

    You need to delete the current versions of them from the iTunes library and import the older ones from another location on your computer or from your backups. If you don't have any copies of the older version, you can't.

  • IPTC information reverting to older version when opening in CS5

    Ok, I will try to explain this as clearly as I can. I am having an issue with the IPTC information for an image (in this case keywords) reverting to a older version when I open the tiff image in photoshop CS6 compared to CS2.
    The keywords were added in ThumbsPlus on a Windows XP computer. On the XP computer the image was edited on, all the keywords are there when the image is opened up in CS2, irrelevant of whether the image is from the folder on that computer, or the version that was copied to my computer (Windows 7).
    However when I open up the image in CS5 on my computer (again irrelevant of whether I open my copied version or the one from the XP computer) the keywords viewed in File Info are an older version with words missing. If I create a jpeg file from this tiff it makes it with the older version of the keywords (this might be obvious, just wanted to give all info).
    I have randomly had the problem before with other images dropping of the description or again reverting to an older version.
    This has only been happening since I have had CS5.

    Please bare with me I am a complete novice about these things.. Here is what I did (which didn't work)..
    1. I deleted the app off my phone.
    2. Despite the phone syncing when I plugged my phone into the computer the old version of the app is still showing in my itunes library. (I am still showing that an update is available for it). If I had the new version updates wouldn't be available correct?

  • How can I download an older version of an app?

    *sigh* Okay. Let me begin.
    So I have the iPod Touch 2nd generation, whose firmware is 4.2.1. It won't update any further than that. Since basically every app in the iTunes Store is only for iOS5 or 6, I can't download any more apps.
    I had a few apps from when my firmware was actually acceptable and have kept them since. But today I did a restore (I backed it up, too!) but it somehow updated all my apps to the most recent versions which are not compatible with my iPod. I don't know where the old ones went. Not in the trash. Nowhere to be found.
    I think for Words With Friends, my iPod can handle version 5.30 and nothing newer. But I tried to download it off a few different websites and iTunes is giving me syncing errors. I think I need to download it directly from the company (through the App Store or something which only offers the most recent: 6.01 or something similar).
    But I don't know how to do this. Any suggestions?
    I am a very disappointed Apple user. I'm beyond frustrated with this. Same flipping thing with my Apple computer. Bought it a few years ago and can't download anything on it anymore since the programs don't support my operating system.

    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.

  • How do I access an older version in the App Store?

    Does anyone know how do I access an older version of FCP X in the App Store to reinstall on an older computer that won't support this latest version? I recall minimum spec on older version being 2GB RAM (4GB recommended). Now it's 4GB minium (8GB recommended) and I cant install via my Apps Store account. I know upgrading RAM is an option but I am looking to get back the version I had running before I had to wipe & reinstall the laptop this past week as I'd prefer not to have to send money on this older machine (2008 unibody MacBook with 3GB RAM)
    Thanks in advance for any help/advice (or offers of cheap but reliable UK based RAM sources)

    iBungie,
    I hate to say this, but Apple would like you to buy, a new MacBook, or iMac, or new Mac Pro
    That way, you can do, what they want you, to do.
    I've noticed a change in their business practices, over the last 4 yrs.
    I tried to update to FCPX.1, but was told I would have to update the OS to 10.9 from 10.7.
    When I updated from 10.6.x to 10.7 I lost the use of 5 3rd party software programs.
    I do not want to lose, the use of other programs, by updateing the OS to 10.9.
    Been a Mac user for over 25 yrs. Lived in Cupertino before and during the growth of Apple.
    Meet both Woz & Jobs, during the late 70's & early 80's.
    If you can afford a new system, then do. If not, look at systems from around 2012 that can handle the RAM, plus they will still have optic drives and hard drives. I have clients that want a disk.
    Any way good luck.

  • I can't download Snapchat on my iPod Touch 4G- it says I need IOS 7 which I can't get. However, I was able to download an older version of the app from iTunes last weekend without any problems. How do I download an earlier version of Snapchat?

    Last weekend I was able to download an earlier version of Snapchat from iTunes without any problems.
    I now won't let me download Snapchat at all, saying it needs IOS 7.
    Why is it doing this and how can I download an earlier version of Snapchat onto my iPod again?
    I don't understand why this week it has started saying I need IOS 7, without giving me the option to download an earlier version.
    Many Thanks

    Try:
    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.
    However, sometimes a previous version is not available.
