The app "GarageBand" was not installed on the iPod because it requires a newer version of iPod software. Help!
I bought an iPod Touch 3rd Generation on Ebay
My version of iTunes is 10.6, my iPod Touch is the 3rd gen, and my version of my iPod Touch is 4.2.1 (8C148).
Am I supposed to have iOS 5? Even then, when iTunes checks for software updates, it doesn't acknowledge it.
Did I make a mistake in buying the app?
I think you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.. Googling shows you have 2G iPod. Ask iTunes for a refund.

Hi , I Have An Iphone 2G , Its Old I Know But I Need It , So When I Sync Any Application Like Talking Tom/Chrome/Facebook/Angry Birds I Got A Msg the application was not installed on the iphone because it requires a newer version of iphone software , My Firmware Is 3.1.3 (7E18) Which Is Last For 2G , And Last Update For Itunes , But There Is a Application Called Recored Video Worked And Synced Successfully !
Please Help...If the developer of the app has updated it so that it requires a later version of iOS, there is nothing to be done. Review the requirements for the app in the App Store.
Helpful hint: Title case (capitalizing every word in a sentence) is harder to read than standard capitalization (just the first word of a properly punctuated sentence). Some people won't read posts at all if there doesn't seem to be at least an attempt at standard grammar, spelling, punctuation and usage.
Best of luck. -
The book "" was not copied to the iPad because it requires a newer version of ibooks
Hi - i've been working on a textbook in iboos author for a week and have been using preview as well as the "file / Export" function to copy the book to my ipad 3. Now all of a sudden, I am getting this strange "..requires a newer version of ibooks" error. I have not done any updates to either ibooks author or ibooks on my ipad. The book also won't copy to my older ipads which also worked fine before. I've reinstalled ibooks and ibooks author on all devices, but am still gettting this error. Even when i go and create a new book from scratch using the template picker and just save a fresh new file, I am getting the same error.
Has anyone had this problem as well ?
Thanks for any suggestions
Marcthye chean - i've already uninstalled and reisntalled ibooks author version 1.1 (190) and I am still getting the same error message.

Everytime I sync my iPhone it gives me the warning: The app "Pages" was not installed on the iPhone "Mom's iPhone" because you are not authorized for it on this computer.
Pages was installed when I initially purchased it for my iPhone, but when I got the 4S recently I got the above message. I tried deauthorizing and then reauthorizing, but it didn't help. The Install/Will Install option is there, but gets me the same message. (And I did hit the Apply button)Agh! I figured out I had two apple id's and was able to install Pages from that account. Dumb! :/

The app messenger was not installed because the ipod needs a new version but i'm just updated to the last verison.What i do?
What model iPod do you have and what iOS is on the iPod?
What is the specific app?
If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
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. -
I recently had a data transfer from my older mac to my newer one. After the transfer I logged into my new account and opened up my GarageBand. It worked perfectly fine, however when I logged into my old account with all my older data that I just transferred over, I could not open my GarageBand files and there is an error that states "GarageBand error after data transfer that states "This song requires a newer version of GarageBand. Please update to the latest version of GarageBand before opening this song".If anyone could please help me with this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank You!
When you transferred your data from your old mac, you may have accidentally transferred an older GarageBand version and either overwritten your newer version, or your old account still has the old GarageBand icon in the Dock.
Search with SpotLight, if you have more than one Garageband version on your new Mac (type "GarageBand" into the SpotLight search field). Does it list more than one GarageBand version? Then delete the older GarageBand.app.
What GarageBand version have you been using at your old mac, and what is the version on your new mac? If it has been bought recently, it should have come with GarageBand '11.

I do not update apps through my laptop I store the apps that actually have been tested and work on the laptop and test updated apps on the iPhone. After updating the iPhone to iOS 6.0.1 iTunes will not install the apps from iTunes on my laptop to my iPhone without updating the apps online. This is not going to happen from my end and I do not like having control of what MY Laptop and MY iPhone can do seperately forced to be as one. That should be an option of choice not a demand of service.
If anyone has an option like how to reinstall iOS 5.1.1 back onto my 3GS I would love to hear it.
Thanks for any constructive solutions or directions other than here to turn.
I've spent over thirty thousand dollars since 1992 on Macintosh products and I'm on the verge of becoming a Windows OS user based upon this latest Apple tactics of fair use.
iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.0.1
MacBook 10.5.8 - eMac 10.2.8, Mac OS X (10.5.8), MBk 2.4 Intel CorDuo 4GB Mem - eMac 800 Mhz IBM 2GB Mem
One other thing I'm not updating the OS on the laptop; I like the freedom to do as I please with my computer.Unkle Rayne wrote:
I'm running iTunes 10.6.3.
Macintosh has never allowed the user to update and or utilize any app or feature if the Operating System was inadequate to do so. Your answer "iOS 6 requires 10.6.8 to run iTunes 10.7" is ineffective at this point and mute. The update should not have been aloud over Wifi or 3G Network to iPhone without the ability to authenticate resources required or needed to operate both iPhnoe iOS and Desktop OS together.
The issue, as has already been explained is that the version of iTunes on the computer will not work with iOS6.
iOS updates via Wi-Fi have nothing to do with iTunes on the computer and does not care what version is on the computer. Personally, I find it completely moronic to update via Wi-Fi as there is really no option for backup or a restore from backup if the update fails. To me, it seems like a great way for the user to create issues for themselves that do not need to exist.
As there is no officially supported method to downgrade the iOS, the only option left if syncing is desired is to upgrade iTunes on the computer.
I really do not understand why you seem so defensive about updating iTunes. Update iTunes on the computer, then sync the device, if that's what you want.
If that's not what you want, other options include updating apps directly on the device via Wi-Fi or 3G or living with it as is. -
My ipod 4th gen screen kept jumping this morning. Had to do a restore to factory conditions and it is working fine now. However, it originally had a factory installed Nike+ app on it and it did not install with the restore. I use this app daily with the running chip to log my workouts. Anyone know how to get this app back from Apple? Loading the Nike app from the app store is not the same thing as you need gps running continually for it to work (as with an iphone). Can't have that with my ipod unless I'm connected to wifi. Help?? Thanks.
If you go to Settings do you see an entry for the Nike app? There is no way to delete or hide that app?
Have you tired using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it.
Next would be to restore a gain. First from backup then next to factory settings/new iPod.
The Nike app you can download/install
Nike+ Running for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store
Does work on the iPOd. You just do not get all the information that GPS/cellular connection can get. You will still be able to get distance/footstrikes like the installed app an you do not need the shoe sensor.. It uses the built-in sensors on the iPod -
Hello, I have a 2nd Gen Ipod Touch and can't get any new games to load (because the 2nd generatiom requires new software, which isn't available). Is there a way to get older versions of games to load on the ipod?
ThanksTo more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was releases, 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

The EDA industry pretty much runs on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 because the tools (which are very complex) take time to port and verify on a new OS. We have hundreds of engineers on RHEL5, and we have no idea when we will be able to move to RHEL6. Can you please either build with libraries supported by RHEL5 or provide a statically linked version of the newer FF?
We're stuck at 3.6.x until this happens (or some interim version supports EL5, but I don't have time to go try every version after 3.6).
We actually use CentOS5, but it's binary compatible with EL5.
Thanks.I will not pretend to know any answers to your problems, but I do wonder if you realise Firefox did decide to produce and support an Extended Stability Release, unfortunately this is NOT going to be based on Firefox 3.6. but on Firefox 10.

I downloaded an app and it said that it couldn't b/c it required a newer version of Ipod software.
I downloaded an app for my daughter and when I went to install it, it said that it couldn't be installed because it required a newer version of software. So, I went and checked the software for both iTunes and her iPod touch. It said that both were the latest versions. So, what do I do now? I wouldn't mind so much if it was a free app but this one I paid for and it was one that my daughter really wanted!!! So, please tell me what I need to do.
My experience is that you may have the latest software update for your ipod touch but some apps only work with the newest ipods. A nice little way to keep people buying the newest latest thing right? It usually tells you that it's not compatible with the ipod before you download it but I also only use free apps. It wouldn't surprise me if they let you pay for it before you found out. At this point I don't think I would be trying to figure out how to make it work. I would be looking for a refund or on the phone with them demanding they walk you through whatever it takes to get it working. I hate that your daughter can't use the app she really wanted. I had the same problem with a Nook. I bought one that turned out not to let you download or play games. My daughter was really disappointed. On the bright side, she took her points and bought books and is reading a lot more. I hope you have a positive outcome in all of this. I hope this helps.

Garageband was not able to install the new sounds
I'm on an iMac 21.5-inch (mid 2011) running Yosemite; 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; 4GB memory.
A few months ago, I uninstalled GarageBand. Now I'm trying to reinstall it. I can get GarageBand 6 reinstalled, but I would like to get working with the latest version. I'm able to download the latest version from the App Store with no issue. It installs with no issue.
When I open it, it thanks for me downloading it, and then begins to download "an essential collection of sounds and loops." After a bit of downloading, it asks for my admin password; I enter it, and a few seconds later, it gives the error: "GarageBand was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open GarageBand to download and install them again." Closing and reopening GarageBand just takes me through the same loop (no pun intended). When the window is open, if I click on the GarageBand menu in the Apple bar, nothing happens.
It does not ask me to accept anything; I am signed into the App Store with the same Apple ID I have always used (it is the only one I have ever had, so that's not the issue). I am an admin on my Mac, so it's not a permissions issue. It's not a password issue either.
Things I have tried:
Rebooting into Safe Boot and opening from there; same issue.
Repaired permissions (it fixed oodles of things completely unrelated to GarageBand); same issue.
Creating a new admin profile and opening from there; it gives a different error, but the effect is the same.
Removed the program, trashed anything remotely related to GarageBand (preferences, folders, etc), emptied the trash, restarted the computer, reinstalled; same issue.
Installed GarageBand on top of itself, just in case; same issue.
I can't think of what else to try. Help!
For reference, here is a screenshot of what I'm getting stuck on:The solution Lijoesat posted above worked for me!
First I found the private/var/folders/ (and then lots of gibberish folders) and singled out two garageband files and deleted them. This did not work.
I then deleted everything which may or may not be a good thing, I am an idiot, I have no idea if these are extremely important files or not!
I tried to empty the trash bin after but many files was locked and Garageband would still not install.
I did a restart of the computer, emptied the bin successfully and tried to install Garageband again and it worked fine!
The inserted picture show some of the folder structure, I deleted everything after private/var/folders/ -
I'm using a mid 2014 13" rmbp. I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?
It's something to do with the main user account (not iTunes account) on my Mac because I logged in with another account and it downloaded fine, I installed it on the HDD and even though the date in App Store was 16th October 2014, it is the full installer of 10.10.2.
To try to resolve this problem, I have copied the installer app elsewhere and deleted it but App Store still will not allow me to download it with my main user account yet just allowed me to update iTunes.
I had a brainwave last night that it might have been related to me changing the default downloads folder to one not on my boot drive (to save disk space on my main boot drive) but having changed it back, tried again, rebooted and tried yet again, deleted my App Store preferences. nothing has worked.
