Unable to install certain apps due toiPod touch running iOS 4.2.1.

Ipod is running iOS 4.2.1 and iTunes says that my iOS is the latest available.  I am unable to install certain apps due to the message that iOS xx is needed (a higher version than mine).  Can I get a higher (newer) version?  (my model iPod Touch is MC086LL)

Are you saying that my iPod model too old to support greater than a 4.2.1?  Seriously?  It looks brand new and I have only had it less than 3 years.

  • Unable to sync certain apps on ipod touch (4th gen)

    Hi, I have recently been having problems syncing my ipod touch (4th gen) after upgrading to the latest itunes and iOS. Music seems to go on fine, however certain apps will not install. Some will go on eventually if I keep on trying, however modern combat 3 which I recently bought, will not install at all. I've tried several fixes now, turning off genius, my antivirus and firewall, even restoring my ipod. I also have Windows 8 if that makes a difference. I hoped iTunes 11 would fix the problems but unfortunetely it hasn't. I used to get error messages saying that an internal error has occurred, however on iTunes 11 nothing comes up, and the sync keeps looping without completing, unless i untick the box to not install modern combat. Is there anything I might have missed?
    Thanks

    Try deleting the app and redownloainf it and then try syncing.
    Then try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How to install an app on ipod touch when it doesn't allow you to touch Free/install?

    Unable to install any apps on my daughter's ipod touch.  When you try to touch "Free" to install it, nothing happens.  Have tried turning it off and on again.

    This is a bug experienced by quite a few users lately that I'm sure Apple is aware of and working on. I have never had this problem, so I can't speak for myself, but I would try a reset. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • Unable to install any apps..did reset, reboot, restore but nothing works

    unable to install any apps..did reset, reboot, restore but nothing works

    so you want to restore as new not from a back up and then try to download a application. the purpose for this is the fact that if you restore from a back you then your just putting the save soft ware back on your phone. and if soft ware is the issue then this step just got voided out. if that doesnt work or you did do that then it can be something hardware related and it can be replace through apple for free if your under the hardware warranty

    1.   Are you using the right signing in details?
    2.   Were the Apps originally bought via the App Store?
    3.   Have you checked if they are partially downloaded?

  • I have an older iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1 which can no longer be updated. Is there a way to download older versions of apps that will run on this device? I am particularly interested in an older version of Minecraft PE. Thanks!

    Is there some way to download older versions of games that will run in an iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1? I want to give my old device to a child who recently went through a hard time and his device was damaged. It is no use if it only has music on it. Thanks!

    To 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 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.

    Try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on the iPod go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it

  • Trying to install pages app, but can't download iOS 5.0

    Trying to install "pages" app, but can't download iOS 5.0? Is iOS the same as iTunes updates?

    Is there a reason why you cannot download the update to iOS 5?
    When you connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, you can select your iPad in the left sidebar of iTunes and then click on the summary tab on the right. Click on the Check for Update button - if iTunes does not present the update to you in a pop up window.

  • How do I install io7 on an iPod that runs ios 6?

    how do I install io7 on an iPod that runs ios 6?

    You can't. If it's a fourth generation iPod touch, it can't be updated past 6.1.6, and if it's a fifth generation one, it can only be updated directly to iOS 8.

  • Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

    Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
