Software Updated. Apps still don't work.

I have an iPod touch (first generation I believe) and had to reset it to factory defaults. Now some of my aps will not download because it says I need a newer version of iPod software. However I checked for updates and it says I have the current version for this iPod. I know this is not the most recent devise made by Apple but I should still be able to use it. Please help.

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.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod since those can only go to 4.2.1.

I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

Cannot update itunes10.6.3. I get no errors. I repaired all of the apple programs and it still don't work. Acts like it wants to start but doesn't. Thanks in advance

I cannot updated itunes 10.6.3. I receive no errors. I repaired all of the apple programs as suggested in other discussions but it still don't work. Do I need to uninstall and start over again?

Initially I received the usual message to update. I replied to it but it did not respond. I then tried to manually update through iTunes and it did nothing. Only reaction I get is that the cursor "flutters" for a second and than tries to go to the store for maybe a second and than nothing else happens.
With that one, try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that go through any better for you?

Blackberry app world asking for username & password, but after many tries still don't work

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me?? Please?

Kensington, Deja Vu, Typeit4me still don't work, even w/ 10.4.5

The update seems to have gone smoothly, but the software for my Kensington trackball, the back-up Deja Vu sofware, and Typeit4me all still don't work.
Oh well.

Even when all other apps are running I have no menu bar icons. The big problem is the system prefs don't respond to me wanting to show them in menu bar. I can click the box to show them, close the window, and then when I go back into the pref pane the box is unchecked.

Apps crashing, can't send problem to apple, software update app crashes....

I came back after a two month summer vacation (I unplugged the computer while I was away) and I went to update the software and then the software update app crashed. I tried to report the problem to apple, but it says that the submission failed, "your report could not be sent to apple, please try again later"
I then tried to sync my iPhone, and iTunes crashed, so I tried to report the problem, and I got the same error. So I un-installed iTunes, but when I emptied the trash it said that "iTunesHelper" was in-use, so I couldn't. But then I tried to restore iTunes by taking it out of the trash, and when I tried to open it, it said that it wasn't supported on that architecture.
I restarted the computer, but the problems won't go away. Firefox works fine...'
UPDATE: Safari crashes too...
System preferences works...
Garage Band: Crash!
iPhoto: Crash!
MS Word: Works...
World of Warcraft: Crash!
I am guessing that my problem has something to do with insufficient memory or something like that? I'm not sure...
About my computer: iMac7,1, running Mac OS X 10.5.7

Any help is appreciated, I guess my best bet is to go to the Apple store or tek-serve.

Those weeks of sitting idle did not help the Mac as a vacation should!
Try repairing the disk permissions. At best do an Archive and Install. This will install a new Mac OS X, archive the old system, which you will later drag & drop to the Trash and flush away, and preserve your data and user accounts and settings. You can do this with your Restore DVD. Read all onscreen instructions and check the correct boxes to preserve your data and settings.
At worst, backup all your data and Erase and Install. Write zeros to the HDD and any bad sectors that exist will be locked out on the drive and no longer used. This is also done from the Restore DVD. After installing Mac OS X import your backed up data and begin anew.

HT3775 why do i have an avi movie and it does not play ? all software updates have been done

i have an avi movie and it will not play on my mac, updated to lion. all software updates have been done.

Sorry about the iphone comments, i will address that seperately.
I went to VLC media, downloaded that. However the .avi movie file comes in email and I have only one option to download the movie. So I click that and the movie tries to open and I get the message that apple cannot open that type of avi movie. I try to drag it to the VCL 'drag video here' box and it does not work.
I went to mydlink and clicked on the 'set up for mac user' link and the page opens blank.
thank you for your feedback. i didn't really think i was going to get any support but you all have been so nice.
i will definitely provide more input when i make an inquiry next time.
in any event, i still cannot get it to work =(
There is also a good chance that the .avi is simply corrupt as often hapens with this format. I have often had .avis that simply will not open, no matter what program or converter you try using. It's a bummer, but being an older format, it is becoming more common.
Good Luck

Software Updates app not showing new updates

Hi,
The Software Updates app is not showing new updates. I always get "No Updates Available". For instance, I run 10.8.3 but 10.8.4 is not showing up. I run iTunes 10.0.2 and when I open it I get messages asking me to update to newer versions but they are never showing up in the Software Updates app. I played with the Software Updates app preference files but it did not change anything. Any idea on why the Software Updates app is not working properly.
Thanks

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data. Quit the App Store application if it’s running. Test after each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Updates
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the contents of the selected folder to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
Step 2
Do as in Step 1 with this line:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
If there's no change, quit the App Store and restore the file you moved from your backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, recreate your settings in the Software Update preference pane.
Step 3
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.*.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.savedState
Here, "*" stand for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes.
Step 4
If you still have problems, quit the App Store again.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
open $TMPDIR../C
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A folder should open. Inside that folder, there may be a subfolder with the name "com.apple.SoftwareUpdate". If so, delete it. You can then quit Terminal.

In app purchases don't work on windows app

Hi,
I've just put my app online in the Windows Store. (Invader Magazine)
Everything works great, exept one thing. My in app purchases don't work. I think i've done everything right.
I followed exectly these steps:
- Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS publishing guide for Windows Store
- In my Dev windows account I've made an in app purchase for each folio
- I published my folio's wat the same product ID as V31 en set the status on public, retail.
I have done all these steps, but my app is empty, I see no folio.
I can only see the folio's when I publish them en set the status on public, free.
Am I missing something?

Hi,
In-app purchases on Windows work differently than on iOS. You shouldn't be making in-app purchase entries for each folio in your Windows Store listing.
See Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS publishing guide for Windows Store for complete details on how in-app purchasing is different on Windows, and how to set it up correctly in the store. Once you have your consumable in-app purchase entry created for your store listing you'll need to request an updated custom viewer that incorporates that Windows Store product ID, then resubmit the app to Windows for approval.

HT1338 Should I delete "Software Update.app" in Mountain Lion?

...seems pretty unelegant for OS 10.8 to leave it taking up space in the Applications folder...and also a bit "confusing"...

I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8...anybody got a definate answer?
Here's what Finder Info window shows for the file "Software Update.app" - which IS still in My Applications folder...
"Automator Launcher version 1.0, Copyright 2004 Apple Computer, Inc."
...Created and Modified dates of the file date to 2008 (same date)
...clicking "Software Update..." from Apple menu does indeed open App Store app to search for updates...
...So, not a real bg deal of course, but I think my original question/observation still holds.
And a suggestion, therefore to Apple: create a customizable Updater app, into which users can add Third-Party apps...updates for EVERYTHING are almost constantly coming...wouldn't it be great if a thoughtful user could just click on one app in the most excellent MAC environment and get all possible updates for installed software, no matter the vendor?

Have installed the latest Airport software update. Still no wireless

I was hoping that Apple would fix the can not connect to wireless problem, I installed the latest airport software update but still have the same problem. 10.4 works great but 10.5 will not connect.

Mine is a long and sad story. I have ComCast cable connected from their modem to an Asanti 4 port router. Connections around our little office area are by ethernet. I then have one router port connected to an Apple snow airport. Out of the office area we use the wireless LAN. All of our PC laptops, our PC desk top and our MacBook Pro (running 10.4) will connect through the snow airport LAN when need-be. All of the aforementioned computers will connect to our city-wide free wireless network, Metro-fi Free. Everything works perfectly except my FW800 running 10.5. For now nothing is incripted. If I turn on my airport card I can see available 6 neighborhood wireless LANs, Metro-fi and the snow base station. I installed 10.4 in a separate HD and booted up. It connects perfectly which means my computer and airport card must be OK. The problem is in 10.5 for sure. I tried to check the update you are supposed to see when opening the airport utility but of course the utility says it can find no AirPort base station. I have reinstalled 10.5, run Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro and found no problems. If I did not have such a bunch of stuff in my system HD I would go back to 10.4. What have I overlooked??

Apps That Don't Work - Asphalt Racing

Thanks in advance for your help.....
I bought and downloaded the Asphalt Racing game from the App store last night and the game gets to the point of you selecting a car and then shuts off. I tried multiple times and also deleted and re-downloaded and still had the problem. Ho do you go about getting refunds for Apps that don't work or is that not a possibility right now?

Hey dgny06,
Is this the only app with an issue?
Try deleting the app from the iPhone and downloading it again.
You will not be charged for the second download.
This article has more tips for troubleshooting issues with 3rd party apps.
