TS1702 I recently restored my ipod touch, now I can't install alot of my apps..It tells me I need a newer version of ipod..and I had all of these apps in the first place..what do I do??

I recently started having trouble with my iPod touch after syncing with iTunes...I tried to download a app that I knew for sure is compatible with my device..it said I needed a newer version of iPod..So, I tried updating with iTunes..it said It was up to date..I was told to restore my device..so, after doing that..some of my apps I've had for years suddenly need a newer version of iPod to download...what can I do?? please help..

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
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 try to download an app, but it says I need a new version of iPod software, yet I have the latest version.

I've had this issue a couple times now. I have a iPod touch. It is a couple years old, but still new enough to have dual cameras. There have been a couple apps I've tried to load, and it tells me I need a new version of iPod software. I go to the iPod software version screen, and it tells me I have the latest version available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kurt

See if you can download the last compatible version by:
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.
If not successful then you need a newer model iPod if you want to use that app

If you can't find these songs on your purchased list to redownload them (as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), you'll have to contact iTunes store support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

I have App Store 1.0. MacUpdate Desktop tells me there is a new version 1.0.1. How do I update App Store. MU only takes me directly to App Store. Not much help there, as I don't find how to update the App Store itself. Please write me at guki@broadpark.no

Thank you for your advice.
Actually, I am aware that the upgrade is implemented in 10.6.7. However, up until now I haven't been able to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.7, as I have software that is not yet compatible. So I wondered how to do it within 10.6.6? May be it is not possible? Anyway, this gave me a push to track the software I use for compatibility, and I found that an update for 10.6.7 now is ready for download, so then I will probably solve two issues at the same time. Takes a little work though. Thank you again for your advice.

I upgraded to 3.2, but now spreadsheets that I create in 3.2 will not reopen. I need a newer version???

I have faithfully updated my Numbers program. 3.2 is the latest version and it is loaded on my mac. However, when I create a spreadsheet in 3.2 and save it, when I go to reopen the spreadsheet Mac tells me I need a newer version of Numbers? What gives???

Hi Jim,
Updating to Numbers 2.3 did not replace Numbers '09, nor did it replace the icon on your Dock. The old icon continues to point to Numbers '09.
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers suits and use File > Open.
Here is a screen shot of icons for both versions on my Dock. Both will run together, but be sure which version is trying to open your document.
Numbers '09 (three columns) on the left.
Number 3.2 (four columns) on the right.
Regards,
Ian.

This month I downloaded the newest version of PAGES. Now when I try to open the documents made with this program it says "You need a newer version of PAGES to open this document." I go to the App Store and says it has downloaded. What to do?

This month I downloaded the newest version of PAGES. The documents I have typed using this App will now not open and the message says-"You need a newer version of PAGES to open this document. Could anyone help me with this please. Thanks.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

Ipod touch 3rd generation can´t install apps

I have a problem with apple.
I bought a Ipod touch of the 3rd generation and I can´t install any apps the problem is that my ipod said You need ios 6 to install this app.I bought them in 2010.
How can I fix this problem? I have ios 5.1.1.I would be okay that apple update my ipod to the version 8 of ios.
I think that is a case of programmed obsolescence.
I am very angry. I think that bought an ipod with only 5 years of use and then happens this. I find it amazing.

JhonnyGarcia

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
Unfortunately that is the case with any kind of technology. Components get older and new software is designed to take advantage of current day technologies. The iPod touch 3rd generation is 6 years old which is a very long time in the age of technology. This may seem like a cop out answer but this iPod touch just could not handle current day software. Lets put it in perspective. If Apple updated that iPod touch to iOS 8.x then it would not have the power to handle even the simplest of operations. The iPod touch 3rd generation still works with iOS 5.x and allows you to use it as you did 6 years ago. Applications also get updated as well to support the newer technologies and with that they drop support for older hardware. Apps that had versions on the App Store that at some point in time supported your iPod, it will give you the option to install the older version. I am not saying Apple does not have planned obsolescence, what I am saying is that your iPod still functions because it does not use new software.

We have an ipod 3 and every time we try to download an app it tells us we need to update to 4.3 and our version is 4.2.1 but no updates available what do we do

We just bought a used ipod generation 3 and we are trying to download some games and every game requires the update of 4.3. and ours is at 4.2.1 but it tells us it is up to date and how are you able to get this version?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Trying to open a number file it tells me i need a newer version i created it on this computer with numbers what do i need to do

I am trying to open a file in numbers that I created in numbers but when I try it tells me that I need a newer version of numbers to open. I have version "09 2.3(554) and I have checked to see if there are any updates and I can not find any. What do I need to do to open the file?
Carol

Carol,
In Finder, Right-Click or Ctrl-Click the filename and choose Open With: Numbers 3.
If you get the error you mentioned, it's almose always because you are inadvertently trying to open the docuement with the old version. It's easy to make that mistake because the icons look similar and of course the names are similar too.

I have an Ipod touch 2 gn ( ios 4.2.1) ,about four months ago I installed facebook, instagram, pdf reader and a lot of apps. I reseted the ipod than now I can't install that apps cuz it says that requires ios 4.3 . What do I do?

The best apps I had, now I can not have?

The backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.
As others have said
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.

HT201272 I am trying to load Jetpack Joyride and Subway Surfers to my ipod touch 3rd generation and the store tells me I need a newer version of software on my ipod. I try to load an update and it tells me I am on a current version. Are these only for i

Are these applications available for a touch or only for an iphone or ipad?

If iOS 4.2.1 is as far as your iPod will go... Then... yours is a 2nd Gen.

IMac intel running 10.9.2 upgraded pages last week, now the machine tells me I need a new version of pages to open documents. Old version of pages is still in the dock, new version is in applications. How do I make this thing work? Thanks

This is frustrating, after going thru the process of updating last week and using pages successfully this machine now tells me the updated version is not the newest. So I went to the app store to buy the new version and it tells me the new version is already installed. Most likely the problem is because the old version is still in the dock. I would think that the upgrade would have taken care of that for me. So how do I get rid of the old version and make the new version my default? Step by step please as I am not Mac literate even thought I've had this machine for over 3 years, it's still a foreign country to me. Thanks SamO66

The icon in the Dock is nothing but an alias pointing to the actual application in the Applications/iWork folder.
Pulling it off the dock really does nothing. Particularly, as you will soon discover, it is the new Pages that is the problem.

Got the latest Itunes (11, I think) and now it says that 'Itunes.itl isn't working because it's a newer version of Itunes' and when I go to my older Itunes, the F7, F8 and F9 buttons won't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Okay, so I got the latest update and apparently it doesn't work. I had an icon on my desktop that wouldn't open because the 'newer Itunes' is apparently corrupt or something. Going into my applications, I found another Itunes icon and it opens up, but not the F7, F8 and F9 keys aren't working with it. I've already tried installing the latest version and that hasn't helped. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hey skyshade13,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.
