iOS error message on iPod touch: "IOs 4.3 or 5 is required" or if not it will say," This app is INCOMPATIBLE for this iPod Touch."


Question Posted Thursday June 20 2013, 11:14 am

HELLO!,

Wats up?! So I'm having issues with my stupid iPod. I go to the app store in it and choose a FREE game I want to install. Something pops up and says" IOs 4.3 or 5 is required" or if not it will say," This app is INCOMPATIBLE for this iPod Touch." I want to fix that dumb problem. Ps: I Have the 2nd generation. Anyway, I hook my iPod to my PC, go to iTunes, Click on " Robie's iPod", then click "Restore" or some thing like that. But it doesn't let me. If I try to sync games on to my iPod from iTunes In my computer, it doesn't sync onto my iPod. I tried to jail brake it too. So, it's probably just the generation or the IOs. Still just help. THX ;)

You have an unfixable software problem. Your IPod only supports IOs below 4.3 The current IPod 5 is IOs5 or higher. You cannot upgrade the software on your IPod 2 above what it is capable of supporting.

These devices have built in obsolescence and at some point they will not support any of the games you presently have as the games will be upgraded to the new higher IOs.

What I suggest is if you want to upgrade your IPod at the least expensive cost is to search the web for an IPod4. Some of the bidding sites such as Amazon still have them available and they are selling them well below the original price or you can bid on them and try to score one below its value.

I had the same problem with my IPod2. I was able to get a 4 at Wal-Mart at Christmas right after the 5s came out as they were dumping inventory to make way for the 5s. If you search I'm sure there are some new in the box 4s still out there that retailers are trying to get rid of.
