Slow App Download and Install on iPod Touch

My new iPod touch is painfully slow when accessing the itunes store, dowloading and installing apps over my home WiFi.  My iPad works just fine over the same connection.  Meaning I can download and install an app to my iPad in seconds and it takes literally an hour to do the same thing on my new iPod Touch.  Any ideas?

Have you tried downloading and installing apps on your iPad today though? Lots of people will have got new iOS devices today, and will all be trying to download apps form the Store at the same time - possibly causing it to be much slower than usual.

  • Slow after download and installing Aperture 3 on my Mac with OS X Lion 10.7.3. Have any one else same experience and an idea of how to solve the problem ?

    My recently bought and up to date MacBook Pro 17" became very slow after downloading and installing Aperture 3. Is there onyone out there who have experienced the same problem and have an idea of how to go about fixing the problem ?

    Are you experiencing the slowness only when you are running Aperture or all the time since you installed it?
    Have you done anything with Aperture, imported images, iPhoto library etc?
    How much memory is in your system? Did you have any external disks attached? How big and how much free space is there on your internal disk?

  • IOS app fails to install on iPod touch using flash professional cs5.5

    I am having trouble testing apps on my 3rd generation iPod touch. The very first app I tried to put on there worked, the app was called mynewapp. Then I tried to put another app on there using the same provisional profile and same app id, the app failed to install. It didn’t matter if mynewapp was on my iPod touch or not. No matter what app I tried to put on my iPod touch they all failed to install, the only one I could get on there was mynewapp. I even created an app with the exact same code as mynewapp and this new app failed to install.
    Then I created a new provisional profile using the same app id that my first profile was using. I tried putting an app using the new provisional profile this app failed to install for the second time. The first time it was using the old profile.
    Then I created a new provisional profile with a new app id and I took an app and tied it to this new profile and app id this app seemed to install on the iPod touch. Right now only two apps can be installed on my iPod touch each app is using a different profile and app id. If I were to copy one of these apps and use the copy that was just created to replace the old version on my iPod touch the app would failed to install.
    I have spent over a week trying just about everything to fix this problem. I remember reading that multiple apps can have the same app id.
    I’m using a windows 7 64 bit computer with flash professional 5.5. Furthermore iTunes, Flash pro, AIR and my iPod touch are all up-to-date.
    What could be the problem?
    I’m sorry if this seems so long it is just I have tried many different things.

    As Colin says make sure your device is still supported by the newer AIR.
    Here's a page which you can check
    http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tech-specs.html
    Adobe stopped supporting older devices (after AIR 2.5 i think), so you can either re compile it with the older AIR or else move onto a newer device. Had the same issue with an iPhone 3g which no longer works.

  • App won't install in iPod Touch

    I downloaded the app for Blackjack 21 Pro. When I tried to synch my iPod it said I needed new iPhone software. I don't have an iPhone. I have a Touch. The app page does say that 21 Pro will work on a Touch.
    How do I install it?

    OS4 installation instructions.
    When I click Update on the iPod Summary screen, it tells me that iTunes is up to date. When I click iTunes => About iTunes, it tells me that I'm running iTunes 9, 9.1.1 (12). When I click iTunes => Check for updates, it says 'This version of iTunes (9.1.1) is the current version.' So I'm moderately certain that I'm running the latest version of iTunes.
    Step 2 says to click on the iPod in the Source List on the left. Did that.
    Step 3 says 'In the iPod Touch Summary pane, click Check for Updates.' There is an image that shows a Check for Update button and a Restore button. I do not have those buttons on the iPod Summary pane. I have Update and Restore. There is no Check for Update button.

  • Apps won't install on iPod Touch 4G

    I have a new iPod Touch 4G and have not been able to install apps or music.  The only way I can get them is by installing and purchasing on my PC, then syncing.  Any idea what is going on?  I didn't have this problem on my previous 4G.
    When I try to install, this is what happens (using a free app as an example):
    Hit "free"
    Hit "Install App"
    "Installing" flashes, but then it asks for my ID & password
    I have to then enter my Apple ID & password
    It goes back to the "page" where I click "free" & the cycle goes on and on.
    Thanks for helpign me solve this problem!

  • HT201272 I can't open the purchased in the app store . and i have ipod touch 4th ..

    when i had the ios 5 didn't have any troubles with the ipod . but when i update it to the ios 6 , the purchased didn't ever open in the app store ..

    Try using a photo import utility or application for this instead of doing it the archaic manual way. Even Windoze includes a scanner and camera wizard that can be used for this.

  • How can I get my iPod touch to download and install updates to apps?

    I am having difficulties with getting updates for my apps to download and install.  When requested, I supply my password for my apple ID, and select "update".  It immediately jumps to the screen with my icon, and then gives me a status bar and says "waiting" for an unending amount of time.
    I have tried power cycling our wireless router and modem, power cycling the iPod, deleting the apps from all locations then syncing the iPod, and reinstalling the apps. 
    Nothing I try seems to get me out of this never ending cycle of inability to download and install updates.
    Any ideas?

    How are you accessing the mail on the laptop? If you are using a mail client, Outlook, etc, then the mail is being downloaded to the laptop.
    If you want to read them on the iPod, then in the account on the iPod, make sure that you turn off delete from server, then after looking at them on the iPod, delete the messages. You will then be able to pick them up on the laptop. Or, as Illaass said, read them with a web client.

  • I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

    My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
    The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
    I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
    Please help.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • How to install apps purchased from itunes 11 without removing old apps installed from ipod touch?

    I recently purchased apps from the app store using my computer (through itunes) and I cannot sync those apps to my ipod touch. Whenever I try to sync those apps I got from itunes, it automatically removes the apps I downloaded directly on my ipod touch. How can I install the apps I got from itunes without removing the apps I downloaded directly on my ipod touch? I hope my question is clear and I hope someone can help me Thanks in advance!

    I already use the "Transfer Purchases" function in itunes and sync. And then what happened was when I try to click on "install" on an app I got from the computer, I can see the summary bar of my ipod's memory move. For example, my ipod has 3.23 gb remaining memory and then I try to click on "install" on 1 app then suddenly it moves to 5.21 gb remaining memory.

  • HT1222 i cant download facebook on my ipod touch it says this app requires iOS 4.3. how can i download this please? Many thanks

    I am trying to download various apps and games and I get the message "this app requires iOS 4.3".  Please can you tell me if I can get this on my ipod touch ? Many thanks

    Unless you have iOS 4.3+ on your iPod (your current version is shown in Settings > General > About > Version) then you won't be able to download and install that app.
    You can check if your iPod supports a higher version of iOS than you currently have by connecting it to computer's iTunes and selecting it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button. If it doesn't find any available updates then I assume that it's an older iPod and that it's on its version, so you won't be able to update it to iOS 4.3+ nor to download that app onto it.
    If it does find an available update then before you start the update first copy any purchases off the iPod to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off it as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update.

  • Just purchased a ipad2, could not us it on my MacBook 10.4.1 - Purchased and installed OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.3 - downloaded and installed latest itunes, set up a itunes accounts and tested by purchasing an album and app, ipad does not show in devises?

    I just purchased a ipad2, it would not work on my MacBook 10.4.1 I purchased and installed OSX snow leopard 10.6.3 downloaded and installed the latest itunes, set up an itunes account, purchased some music and apps.  When i plug in my ipod it shows up and works, but when i plug in my new ipad the ipad screen comes up with a display of a cable and itunes but does not show in devises, i have tried all the resets and different USB ports with no success.  Any ideas short of selling it on ebay or buying a new computer?

    If you've already tried the usual rebooting of the computer and ports and stuff, there is only a few things left I can think of. It's possible that when you updated iTunes it didn't fully replace all the files, so I suggest just manually removing iTunes and then reinstalling it.
    Try removing iTunes manually first http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 then download a fresh copy, make sure it is 10.3.1
    It is essential that you go through Finder to remove those files it mentions. Otherwise they won't be reinstalled when you run the installer again.

    Can somebody tell me if this is normal?
