Using IPod touch to download apps, says I need IOS 4.3, but there aren't any available updates???

Apparently, my current version is 4.2.1 Is there anyone who knows how I can get this update?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. If that is the case you will either have to get a newer model iPod or live without the newer apps

    Thank you so much! It's updating now. I'm hoping that once the update is finished that it will sync like normal as well. Of course I'm still a bit confused/concerned about how it refused to update on it's own, but for now that's not a problem. Hopefully from now on there won't be any more problems.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • IPod touch not downloading apps, updates or anything. What should I do?

    My ipod touch is not downloading apps, updates or anything. It seems to require a restrictions password for some unknown reason. Can anyone help?

    Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod. . Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.   
    - If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7

  • My 2nd gen. ipod touch wont download apps

    Whenever I try to download a game on my ipod touch (its uploaded to the newest version) the icon pops up and the loading bar is on the icon but it never fills up and after a couple seconds it just disappears! I've already turned it off and back on to see if that would work and it didn't! I deleted a lot of pictures and videos and other apps and I have a ton of open memory, but I can't figure out whats wrong! Help! i don't have time to go to the apple store and there isn't one nearby anyway, and the internet connection is good. I've never had this problem before and I have good Wi-fi so I dont know what to think. HELP!

    I had this issue before and it was related to security restrictions set on the touch itself
    On the touch itself go to: Settings->General->Restrictions 
    If there is a restrict for Installing Apps the Apps page will be greyed out in itunes

  • When will ios.7 be on ipod 4g. i cant download apps because they need ios.7

    I have a ipod 4g and i try to download apps like ibooks i cant because i dont have ios.7 and it really bugs me and i was wondering if itunes could and when update iphone 3 and ipods to ios.7 please do it ASAP

    Sad to say your out of luck and iOS 7 won't come to iPod 4 ever because iOS 7 require at least 512mb of RAM where the iPod 4 only has 256mb of RAM. Think about upgrading to a iPod 5 as it will also support iOS 8 and it about 2x+ faster than the iPod 4 so games will run better. It also has features like a better camera, etc.
    Sincerely, Rob

  • HT1338 I use gotomypc and since I downloaded mountain lion I am unable to launch the program.  It says I need to install java but when I go to "software update" it says there are no updates.  Any ideas?

    Ever since I updates to mountain lion I can' use gotomypc because it says I need to install java.  When I follow the instructions to install by going to software update there is nothing to update in the app store.  How do I manually install java?

    just found an answer on another feed
    Re: mountain lion java
    In spotlight, type in Java, and click on Java Preferences in the list - it will then start downloading and installingthe new version. (my java version is now 1.6.0_33-b03-424)

  • When i try to download something that uses adobe to read it it says i need a plug in but then it says there are none

    i cant download important things

    Go to Settings>General>About
    What is listed for Capacity ??GB
    What is listed for Available ??GB
    The Available is how much free space you have.
    The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
    How much space is Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Netflix App won't download. Says I need ios 6 or better, how do I get and download iOS 6 or 7?

    I tried to download Netflix and it said I needed ios6 or better. What is it, how do I get it and put it in my iPad?

    Some apps will let you run on a lower version of iOS.  Here's how to find out if the ones you want will run on your iPad.
    1.  Open iTunes on your computer and go to the App Store
    2.  Download the apps you want to your iTunes account in iTunes
    3.  On your iPad, tap the App Store
    4.  Tap the purchased tab
    5.  The apps you downloaded to your iTunes account on your computer will be listed with a cloud icon next to them.
    6.  Tap the cloud and if the app will run on a lower version of iOS, it will give you the option to download a version that will run on your iPad.  If the app doesn't give you the option, there's nothing you can do.
