Will most apps work with ipod 2nd or 3rd gen?

hi there
im looking to buy an ipod touch but im going to buy a slightly older version 2nd or 3rd generation but i dont wether most apps (especially games) are gonna work or have a lag and how to avoid that because it seems that the new IOS dont work so well with the older ipod.
thanks!

You'll have to look at the requirements for each App in the app to determine whether or not it will still work with a 2G iPod Touch, which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1.
Several apps have already been updated to require iOS 5 or later, which can be installed on a 3G iPod Touch.
So in my opinion, it would be much more effective to purchase a 3G iPod Touch instead.

  • Will FM receiver work with iPod Touch?

    Hi there! I haven't posted for a while...
    I really want an iPod Touch, and have been doing my research online...one of the main complains that keeps coming up is that the iPod Touch doesn't have a volume button. I have a 1st gen iPod Nano, and for that I have an FM receiver (Apple brand, not some cheapo junk). If I can use that with a Touch, then there would be no problem, but the new iPod receiver box doesn't mention that it works with the Touch. If anyone has tried it and could tell me, that would be awesome.
    Just one last thing...I also read that people were having problems with the colour black on their screens, that it appeared all shimmery. Has a patch come through for that, or has it been fixed?
    Thank you in advance!
    Alex

    - No, Apple's iPod Radio Remote does not work with iPod touch. Look for compatible devices on the online Apple Store.
    - I don't think a patch can solve it, but the screen problem was only in the beginning, I don't think it's still an issue.

  • Remote App doesn't work with iPod 2nd Gen or iPhone 3G

    I have been using till recently the "Remote" app to control a Apple Express base station from an iPod 2nd Generation (and it also would work from iPhone 3G. It worked great.
    Today, I noticed that it is not working. I am getting a message that says the the update of the App is no longer compatible with the iPod or the iPhone that I was using.  Both of them are running Version 4.2.1
    Does anybody know anyway to get the iPod 2nd generation or the iPhone 3G to be compatible with the "Remote" app?  Is there anywork around. 
    My teenager loved to be able to control the tunes in his room with one of these devices. 
    I appreciate any advice or help you can offer. 

    Maybe:
    Remote app for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can't connect to iTunes or Apple TV

    If you have a copy of the Remote app in your iTunes library that is compatible with your iPod delete the app from your iPod/iPhone and sync the app to yur device.
    If not, delete the version in you iTunes library and transfer/copy the app to your iTunes library by
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    There is no way to the later version on your devices.

  • Will most apps work after upgrade?

    I am running 10.6.8 on my iMac and it appears that my machine meets the minimum requirements to run Mountain Lion.  Will these apps continue to work and are they automatically upgraded to a newer version upon completion of downloading Mountain Lion?
    I also understand that and PowerPC apps are incompatible.  Do I need to delete them?  Anything else?
    iTunes:  10.7
    iCal:  4.0.4
    iPhoto:  7.1.5
    Pages:  3.0.3
    Numbers:  1.0.3
    Mail:  4.6
    Garage Band:  4.1.2
    Time Machine:  1.1

    Those are all Apple apps and will work fine. Most will be upraded.
    There's no need to delete the PPC apps, unless you need the space.
    Check the application compatibility table here.
    EDIT: The problem with meeting the minimum, is that you should should exceed it. Especially, Apple calls for 2GB of RAM. I think that 4GB is a minimum, myself. So, definitely max out your RAM for a smooth experience.

  • I use iphone 4 ios 6.1. i want to buy whatsapp app buy i cant buy it cos it says the email Id is for U.S why am in Nigeria. if i created another apple id using Nigeria country, will the app work with ma iphone that already have another id to purchase app

    i use iphone 4 with ios 6.1. i want to buy whatsapp app but my previous apple id is for U.S using to get free app while i live in Nigeria. if i create another id for Nigeria region to buy Whatsapp app, will it work with my iphone that already have id?

    Hello Emmanuel,
    It sounds like you are trying to purchase an app on your iPhone while in Nigeria.  You do not need to create a new Apple ID to do this.  You will just need change the iTunes Store country in your iPhone settings and update your billing information to match the country you are in:
    Change your iTunes Store country
    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

  • WILL PSP CASE WORK WITH IPOD NANO?

    Heya i jus bought an iPod nano and im wondering if the $20 psp case would work without scratching my iPod.

    yea well there is a case that ships with PSP and its black....yea the case is really big but Apple should learn from Sony and make something that is identical to this but with the dimensions of the ipod nano....all im asking is will it work?

  • Will PS apps work with new MS sideloading program

    I came across this page ( xxx.aidanfinn.com/?p=16266) outlining the changing sideloading policies MS will be enacting on May 1st. Firstly, may I say "thank you!" to MS for remembering that small developers are important ;) . so for those who haven't
    seen it, here's a brief summary from the page:
    " The ability to distribute custom apps via Enterprise Sideloading is added to Windows 8.1 Pro via the Windows 8.1 Update.
    The license for Enterprise Sideloading is free to those larger customers that are enrolled to an applicable large customer volume license agreement.
    Anyone else can get the Enterprise Sideloading license for an unlimited number of devices for $100 through an Open volume license program."
    There are a few caveats and requirements, but all in all this is great news as it looks like $100 will allow smaller developers like me to be able to sideload custom apps. Again, thank you MS! So the question is will I be able to install Project Sienna apps
    via this method? Are the sienna executables hard wired to look for developers licences or other 'gotchas' that will prevent me from using this tool to create exe's that I can sideload under these new policies?  Thanks
    slowly getting my mind around .NET...

    Well, the day has come and there is no readily available information on the MS Open Licensing site as of this writing. Could someone  please share a link to the program info or a link to a purchasing site? thanks

    For AirPrint printers see:

    Ther are also apps like Print Pentral that work with a lot of printers.

  • This isn't achely a question it's about iPod  not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

    This isn't achely a question it's about iPod  not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

    And it's totally impractical for any OS to provide complete backwards compatibility in perpetuity. So no, Apple cannot grant your request. As WJ said, it's the developers' reponsibility to provide updates to their applications to be compatible with newer operating system releases, whatever the platform might be.
