Syncing prob:icons for apps won't sync from Mac to ipod touch G1

I have a 1st Generation iPod touch, 32 GB and the latest version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I have tried several times to sync my laptop to my iPod...all goes well except it won't sync the icon pictures of my apps to my ipod...except 2 or 3. Please tell me what setting is wrong or what I can do to get the icon pictures on my iPod. Buying an updated iPod Touch may solve the problem, but that is not an option at the moment. This one is so old it doesn't have a cam or anything... but it still works very well.

You say you have a 1G iPod. Those can only gas as high as iOS 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
However, not there are few apps still compatible with the 3.1.3. Many have been udated so theay are no lnoger compatible with th 3.1.3.
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.

  • Help!! 17+ rated apps won't show up on my Ipod Touch

    Help!!  None of the 17+ rated apps I downloaded from the app store will show up on my Ipod touch after I synch it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Also it won't let me dowload these apps from the app store on my ipod. Thanks
    Found the problem. I couldn't find the parental controles so I thought it was some other problem. Thenks everyone

    You probably have restrictions set.
    Have a look at the manual:

  • Certain apps won't transfer from itunes to ipod

    I have the latest updates for itunes and ipod touch.
    Today I noticed several of my apps are no longer visible on my ipod. I say "visible" because when I try to re-download them from the app store, the ipod thinks I already have them and therefore the app store does not give me a download button.
    I transferred my apps from the ipod to itunes, and low and behold, the missing apps transferred to itunes. They will not sync back to the ipod, unfortunately. I can delete the app from itunes, but after syncing, the ipod still thinks it exists and I'm unable to download it again.
    This issue only affects a few apps, specifically netflix, goodreads, and redbox, to name a few.
    Any ideas about how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
    Any

    - Have you uses the SpotLight search on the iPod to look for the apps? Maybe they are there but you can't find them (e.g., hidden in an app folder or, if you have all eleven app screen filled they are not visible).
    - Could you have restrictions set on the iPod that is "hiding" them and preventing their use? Setting>General>Restrictions.

  • Numbers app won't switch to landscape view - ipod touch

    The numbers app does not seem to be able to switch to landscape view on the ipod touch.
    Is there someway to get it to run in horizontal mode?

    It seems like it ought to be, I'm very dissapointed that this app won't do this.

  • HT1535 Songs won't transfer from iTunes to iPod touch

    I'm having trouble transferring music from iTunes onto my iPod touch (5th gen). When I plug my iPod into my computer and try to drag songs onto it from my iTunes library, it says 'updating files' but gets then gets stuck. I keep trying and have waited for over 30 minutes for one song to transfer but it just isn't working. The songs show up in my iPod's music library but they are greyed out and do not show up on my actual iPod. Also, when I tried to transfer purchased from my ipod to iTunes, I kept getting an error message but that has now worked. There is plenty of free space on my ipod so that can't be the problem. This is a recent problem and I was able to do both of these tasks easily a couple of weeks ago. My iPod is up to date and I updated iTunes in case that was the problem but it has not helped. I've ran out of ideas and don't know what else to do now! Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it?

    Find one of the songs in iTunes that won't sync to the iPod, and try to play it (just double click the file in iTunes). Do you get an error message? If so, let us know what it is, as this will probably explain why it can't be transferred to the iPod.

  • Apps won't launch on 1st gen ipod touch.

    None of the downloaded apps will launch (Facebook; games, etc) They were working fine yesterday but have stopped today for no apparent reason. I've tried rebooting, restarting but it hasn't worked. Any ideas?

    Try a hard reset and go from there.

  • PLEASE help! Apps won't sync!

    my computer crashed a while ago. I got a backup thing and re-installed iTunes, and i'm having various problems, but my main problem is that my apps won't sync. I go to check the box so I can sync it and it won't allow me to. There is no app store app on my ipod, either. I'm not sure what happened but its really frustrating.

    My experience, is that Mom's understand way more than you ever give them credit for.  But you don't really find that out until much later in life.  Never discount anything your Mom says.

    Swingreader for baseball won't sync with my iPhone? Any ideas?

    2 things MT, I had same problem... Go to the Apps section and make sure you are downloading the right version of SwingReader b cuz there are 2 or 3 and one says 2010 and another (w same Name) says 2012-
    Two, make sure your software for your i Phone/Pad is up to Date - 5.1 etc as I had the fun of missing on both fronts and it wouldn't load... then it would load but not work... Now all is working.  Hope this helps.

  • Updated apps won't sync to Ipod Touch

    I've been having this problem for a while now. Whenever I update an app that I already have, the updated app won't sync to my touch and I get an error message. However, new apps downloaded from itunes work fine, they just are not current. Any help?

    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - NextI would restore from backup.

  • All my apps won't sync to my ipad.

    I received a new ipad because my original wouldn't charge and now all my apps won't sync, only a few will.  How do I get all of them to sync?

    As far as I know, iTunes will still not change anything until you click on Apply in the lower right corner. I fiddle with my settings all the time - just so I can get a sense if what to expect should I make any changes - and I have never seen anything happen to my configuration unless I click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. Not only that - you have turned off auto sync so as far as I know you still have to click on sync or apply in order for the iPad to sync with iTunes.
    That doesn't mean it will not happen, I've never seen it happen - is all that I'm saying. I'm sorry but I'm not sure what will happen, but the only reason that I can of why the apps will not transfer is because of the manual manage setting. I could be wrong about that as well.
    Look at this discussion - which I have referred quite a few users to read. I know this process has worked for a number of people that have read it and used the instructions in it. Maybe we are missing something - what that would be - I'm not quite sure, but take a look.

  • Applications tab doesn't work - apps won't sync

    I'm starting to go a bit bonkers. It's been a while since I updated iTunes, and the Applications tab still doesn't work right. Is it just me? I can't click on anything/manipulate anything in that part of iTunes. And when I download new apps through the app store and tell my iPhone to sync, it doesn't sync the apps, even though "Sync Applications" under the Applications tab is checked.
    I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it. I've restored my iPhone. I've done both things a few times and you know what? Sometimes that makes it work. But if so, it only works one time. I can use the Applications window to check which apps I want synced and move things around onto different screens. But then if I click on another tab/navigate away from that window, it stops working. And I have to restore my iPhone again just to sync my apps.
    Any suggestions? Help? Is it just me that's having this problem? Thanks...
    iTunes version: 9.0.2 (25)
    iPhone software version: 3.1.2

    Wouldn't I lose all my paid apps if I go under a different account?
    Still not working... only when I restore my iPhone to factory settings and reupload everything do I get my new and updated apps and have a working Applications tab. Then, if I quit iTunes and open it again later, I can't manipulate/change anything under the Applications tab, and my apps won't sync with the rest of the stuff on my iPhone. So maybe the solution is to leave iTunes open and my computer on FOREVER.
    I'm seriously getting ticked that this isn't working right. Anyone else have this problem? Or just scuttlebutt and me?

  • Updated apps won't sync to my mac iTunes

    Hey Guys,
    I have recently updated my MBP to a MBP retina and I used to be able to auto sync all the apps that I update on my iPhone 5s or iPod 5th gen or iPad air to my iTunes but ever since i started using MBP retina it won’t work anymore. I can’t possibly download the same apps on each device just because the updated apps won’t sync to my iTunes, I used to do all the updates on one device and then sync everything to my iTunes and then sync my other devices to my iTunes and then I would have the same updated apps on each device and in my iTunes,
    Could someone please help me?
    I’m going crazy here…

    You might try Resetting All Settings, Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings and then reset as a new phone.
    This will not erase any of your content but it sets the phone back to factory defaults on everything.
    Worst case you may need to restore the phone form iTunes as a new phone and then restore from a back up to get your content back on your phone.

  • Looking for a sound editing app I can sync between Mac and iPod Touch

    I have old interviews I conducted as part of an old job. I want to put them on to my new iPod Touch to listen to while traveling. Since I am only interested in specific topics and passages I need to bookmark where in these hours-long interviews these passages are.
    I can get these interviews from my Mac into my Touch easily with iTunes, but I cannot bookmark or make notations in iTunes. There is a plethora of apps that will playback and edit/bookmark sound files for the Touch, but all of the ones I have found will only do this for files recorded with that app and they will only upload or email to my Mac but not send files from Mac to the Touch.
    If anyone has any thoughts on an app I have missed or a work around I would be forever grateful.

    LAN Manager authentication level was already set to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" according to a web tutorial. I changed it to the option you recommended above.
    Still, only the public folder is visible.
    By the way - this is a brand new install of Windows 7. Almost nothing has been altered from its stock just-installed state.
    It is connected to my Mac via a cat-6 ethernet cable which is plugged into my Mac Pro's second ethernet port. I did this because the PC is a Maya workstation, and I do not want to slow it down by installing all of our corporation's IT-required software that slows our systems down. It is not connected to the open internet in any way - just file sharing to my Mac.
    My Mac is 192.168.123.130, the Win7 box is 192.168.123.132. Both have a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.123.130. I am UNABLE to ping the PC from the Mac. I am ABLE to ping the Mac from the PC.

    Apps are in iTunes, are not part of the backup and when you updated the phone, you need to sync that content back.
