Upgrading 1st generation iPod to install apps

I want to upgrade my 1st generation iPod touch from 1.1.5 so that I can install apps. I purchased and tried downloading 3.1.1 but ran into this 8288 error that other people seem to be getting: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3373167?start=0&tstart=0.
Since I only want apps can I instead try upgrading to 2.x? I can't seem to find this update anywhere on the store.

You can fix error 8288 and upgrade to iOS 3.1. This is how I did that http://www.parkhi.net/2011/12/error-8288-ipod-touch-upgrade-ios-31.html

  • HT4972 upgrade 1st generation ipod

    I have the 1st generation ipod touch and its fast becoiming obsolate as I am no longer able to download the latest applications as I'm advised I need to have the software updated, I have since had it reset and updated on the apple web portal but the latest I can have seems to be version 2.2.1. I will require IOS version 3xx and above. How do I proceed to upgrade my software?

    iOS 3.1.3 is the last update for the 1G. You get that here:

  • Upgrade 1st Generation iPod Touch 32GB

    Can I download ios5 to my 1st gen ipod touch or can i upgrade my software version 3.1.3 to 4.0 or 3.2?

    Thanks for your answer, now my problem is I had to reset my ipod and when I reloaded the applications from the computer some of them were bought for my iPod version 3.1.3 and now they can not be loaded for having been updated for use on an iPod version greater than 3.1.3.  For example, I purchased Documents To Go Premium - Office Suite, version 3.0 and now I can not load it in my ipod because after several updates to the application, now requires a larger version of my ipod (greater than 3.1.3). What should I do?

    Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
    Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
    Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps?  You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Can I run the Netflix app on a 1st generation Ipod Touch running 3.1.3?

    I have a 1st generation ipod touch running ios 3.1.3. I want to run netflix on it but when I try to install from itunes I get the message "The app "Netflix" was not installed on the IPOD because it requires a newer version of IPOD software." I have read from goggling this issue that netflix streaming on the 1st gen ipod is possible. What am I doing wrong? Or is this not possible at all?

    "The "reason" that Netflix will not work with iOS 3.1.3 is because Netflix does so much that iOS 3.1.3 cannot handle it. SImple."
    This is untrue, as was stated earlier:
    I was running netflix on an itouch first generation ios 3.1.3 untill the glich with the app store.  The newest update will not run on it now and I lost the original version when I reset the Itouch thinking the problem was on my end.
    If you had said it's "incompatible" instead of "cannot handle it" or specified the version of the Netflix, perhaps the new Netflix app is so incredible, or rather it "does so much" MORE, you might be within the realm of having some useful input, but the following:
    It would appear so!
    leads me to understand you don't know what you're talking about or you're a wannabe company man and just lying.
    If anyone else has useful information regarding running the Netflix app that certainly worked for us Netflix subscribers who are also 1g owners–and there are at least thousands, if not tens of thousands–and were using the app before we upgraded to 3.1.3 or restored and downloaded the latest Netflix app, it'd be great to hear from them.  1. 2. 3. SImple.

  • Why wont my 1st generation ipod let me download some apps?

    You can't. The 1G iPod can only go as far as iOS 3.1.3. There are not that many apps that are now compatible with the 1G.

  • Trying to install 1st generation iPod Nano on Windows 7 OS laptop.

    When trying to open i Tunes installed from my original software CD, I get a message ""The files 'i Tunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of i Tunes." I have a 1st generation iPod Nano and a Windows 7 OS laptop. The newer i Tunes wouldn't work with my iPod (said it was corrupted), and when I restored the ipod, my CD-DVD quit working and I had to do a system restore to fix that. Now I am trying to get my ipod working with my PC again and get the above message. What do I need to do to get everything working together?

    Don't use the original software CD, because its software is outdated.
    Download the latest version of iTunes here

    It works with all iPods, going back to the first one from 2001. 

  • HT2052 ipod touch 1st generation, can't acces apps at all. update?

    i have a 1st generation ipod and i currently cannot acces apps or do much on it, is there a update/software that will let it perform better? so far i can only add music and thats it.

    The 1G can only go as high as 3.1.3. To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • How do you get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch

    How do I get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch?

    By updating the iOS on the iPOd.  The 1G can go as high as 3.1.3.  That works with a lot of apps.  But some apps require a higher iOS and/or newer iPod.
