Why wont my iPod touch let me download a big app?

I have 1.4 GB of space on my iPod. I keep trying to download a 618 MB app, however, it says I need more storage. Yes, I can download smaller apps.
Why is this happening? What do I do to fix it?

You need to delete some stuff from yur iPod to make more storage space available.  The iPOd requires over twice the file download size to install an app.

    iOS

    A second generation iPod touch can't be updated past iOS 4.2.1 or run applications which require iOS 4.3 or newer. Unless you have older versions of them on a computer or in a backup, you can't use them on it.

         Did you buy your iPod Touch from a friend? If so it is very likely that the prior owner had jailbroken the iPod Touch without telling you. Try ensuring that you have the most up-to-date version of iTunes. Next try to plug in your iPod to your computer by way of usb cord. Then open iTunes and check whether your iPod is recognized. If it isn't recognized try navigating to "My Computer" under start and check whether your iPod appears as a removable device. If your iPod Touch is still not present then try putting your iPod Touch in DFU Mode and attempt to restore it.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Placing your device into recovery mode
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
         If all else fails please demand your money back from whoever sold you this iPod Touch.

  • Why won't Ipod touch 1st gen download podcast today feb 29th?

    Woke up this morning and tried downloading the slew of podcast on my 1st gen Ipod touch. None will download, all of them stay in the download tab with the error  "there was a problem downloading this podcast" it ask to delete or retry, Ive done both with multiple podcast with the same result. The last podcast I downloaded was Bill Burrs last night and Dana Gould's yesterday. Both worked fine. Today nothing from half a dozen podcast. I have version 3.1.3 (7E18) (sic). I tried restarting and reseting (sliding to turn off and holding both buttons to reset). No go. What could be the issue?

    What is the specific app?  Do you have the same problem with all apps, including the ones that are built-in, such as Mail or Safari? 
    On my 1st gen iPhone, I noticed that some third-party apps (downloaded from the App Store) have that problem.  The 1st gen iPhone and 1st gen iPod touch have lower system RAM for running the OS and apps.  My guess is that some app developers do not account for the device having lower RAM (compared to later and more numerous models), so the apps crash on our oldest devices. 
    If the app requires a later version of iOS, it won't even install on a device with iOS 3.1.3, so that's not the issue.

  • Why wont my ipod touch sync with itunes, and how can I fix it

    Key Facts:
    -I have an ipod touch (model number MC008LL)
         -It's probably running the same iOS id did in the package
    -It won't sync (and more importantly update to i0S5)
         -It's not a failed/slow sync, the option to sync as well as all other options under "Devices" is Grayed out
    -I am running iTunes 11.0.4
    -the Belkin cord I am using charges the ipod, and I think it was the one I used to sync it before.

    You have a 3G iPod and those can go as high as 5.1.1.  What exactly happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to update via iTunes? You need iTunes 10,5 or higher on the computer.
    After you get it updated see if syncs.
