Why are newer apps on the AppStore never available to those with an earlier iPod touch

Personally I would appreciate it if with the next Apple Store Update, Apple could make it so that only apps that work on that particular device will appear so that people dont go to download the app and a message appears stating that the app does not work

If purchase on iTunes/App store on the coputer because you may have different iOS devices with diefferent iOS vers. Thus, iTunes will not know for what specific device you want. the device for.
If you mean when purchasing on the device 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.
    - Download the app on computer and sync
    - Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage and try to delete the app there
    - 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:

  • Why can't i have the same playlists on my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPod Touch?? Won't sync as I have them on my computer.

    I have a lot of Smart Playlists on iTunes and when I sync my devices the playlists names match, but the content doesn't. Each device has different songs inside the playlists. Not even the number of songs match in most of the playlists. What's the problem??

    The most likely reason for that error is that your hard drive is corrupt and thus the download is not getting expanded properly.  Restart the computer and hold down command-R as soon as you hear the chime, which will cause your computer to boot into recovery mode.  Once there, open Disk Utility and repair the hard drive.  If it succeeds, restart normally and try updating again.  If it can't repair, you can try a utility like DiskWarrior, but if the damage is that bad the system may be damaged, so you should consider erasing the hard drive and reinstalling everything from scratch.

  • I cannot download apps from the AppStor on my new iPad and iPhone 4S?

    I got my new iPad but cannot download the new apps from the AppStore. Are there any restrictions on the devices for an apple id?

    Hi...
    Make sure Restricitions is not enabled.
    Tap Settings > General > Restrictions
    If you are using the same Apple ID to login to this forum it should work on your iPad at the App Store.

  • Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a full GB more than what it should.

    Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
    For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
    Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
    This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
    I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
    I link to a mac computer.
    I have IOS version 6.1.3
    I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
    Please help!!

    Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.

  • Why are my apps hanging when i try and update them? i have the iphone 4 with the new ios 6....

    Why are my Apps hanging and not letting me update them on my phone? the app store has been really slow, and tells me alot of the times that it is unable to connect with the store? I am frustrated and don't know what to do....

  • Why is it that when looking through  new apps in the  apps store on my ipad in release date mode  does it return to the first 1-12 after viewing pparticular apps?

    why is it that when I look through the new apps in the apps store in release date mode it returns to the first page after veiwing more information about some apps, I could be ten to twenty pages in and have it happen.
    Also, I only speak and read English and although there are probably great apps for people from other nations, I don't want to wade through all the apps that I can't make use of. I expect that people of other nationalities or languages don't want to have to wade through every app that they can't make use of, is there not a way that alI users could filter by language?
    I mean no offence to anyone but with a collection of hundreds of thousands of apps in all languages and the jump back to the begining after possibly being into the list by a number of pages I stop looking after awhile and I'm sure I've missed some excellent apps by doing so.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

    Are you running any anti-viral software or a firewall? Little Snitch?

  • Is it possible for deleting all the apps from the appstore which are showing up in the apps not on my phone section. Before I was able to delete them from itunes but now I am not able to find that option.

    You can hide them via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    The 'x' might not show on their top left corner (it might be invisible), but clicking where it should be should hide the app.

    Are you sure .mov files worked on the iPhone without a third part player? I'm just not sure...
    Try these instructions from Apple:
    Convert a video to work with iPhone:  Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video to iPhone.

    Whenever I updated or downloaded a new app from the App Store, a message appears saying:
    "Account Not In This Store
    Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the Swedish. store before purchasing."
    I made some research online and asked a few of my friends with the same problem. All they did was sign out of iTunes from settings>iTunes & App Stores or from the App Store itself and signed back in. It worked for many of them but not with my iPhone 4s. It really does get on my nerves to always sign out and back in to the App Store as it sometimes works and allows me to update and download or most of the time it doesnt.
    When viewing my Apple ID account on my iPhone (after entering the password) it either views my account or says:
    "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the U.S. iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store. Try your purchase again."
    So I press on OK then either switches me to the App Store app of its choice, or says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".
    I tried restoring iOS6 hoping it was a bad installation, but i still have the same problem.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Arian

    Are you sure your AppleID is NOT tied to the US store? If you are trying to buy an app from the Swedish store you will be unable to do that. Some apps are only available on certain stores. That is why you get the "Cannot connect to the iTunes store" message when trying to buy that app. Your updates are being done from the US store ; thats why you can update sometimes and sometimes not.
    If you keep encountering problems contact iTunes support. They will help you sort it out.

  • Why are my apps not downloading?

    Why are my apps not downloading? They just sit there waiting and I keep getting an error saying that my purchases cannot be downloaded at this time and to try again later. I have tried logging out and in, and rebooting but neither has worked

    Same problem here.  Not able to update any apps or to download new purchased music.  Doesn't work on iPad, iPhone, or iTunes.  Tried with 3G download rather than wifi on the phone and iPad.  It still hasn't worked.  I changed me credit card, but without success.
    The store is currently broken for some users, maybe all.

  • Why are my app updates not transfering to my ipad when i sync with my desktop?

  • Why are my apps no longer on my iPad?

    Why are my apps no longer on my iPad after downloading latest iTunes and installing?

    Nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what you did exactly step by step.They should not disappear when you update iTunes or the iPad iOS.
    If they are still in your iTunes library on your computer - sync them back to your iPad.
    If you did never transferred them from your iPad to iTunes, download them again in the App Store. Tap on the purchased tab and all of your apps should be in the resulting windows. Download them again. You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to buy them with originally, but they will be free downloads.
