Ios download old version app

And mind you technology tips never work for me and my gadgets. By Mr. It doesn't work. However, every time I try to sync it I just get the following message: "The app 'iBooks' was not installed.

From what you describe, it sounds like you are trying to install the latest version of the iBooks app using iTunes, and that is not what this article is suggesting.

The purpose of downloading the app in iTunes is just so you have ownership of the app. Once you do, then the app needs to be downloaded from the App Store on your iPod touch. It should now ask you if you want to install an older version. Yes, I was trying it in the wrong way, and i don't know how to do it.

Please guide me with more details step by step Please help me out. This doesn't work for me, I'm trying to get Snapchat back, I deleted it the other week too, experienced the same problem but then I got it back I'm not sure how but now I can't install it again?

Just managed to get a really useful app thanks to you! The work-around worked like a champ to let me download old version, EXCEPT when I try to open the app, it requires me to upgrade which of course I can't. As mentioned, not all apps offer older versions. Although it did allow you to download an older version, the app developer does not want you to use it for one reason or another and has intentionally bricked it. I wonder if you can help with this: I opened an app on my iPad to find it had automatically updated - and I don't like the new version at all.

I have an old version of an app on my wife's iPad, and it still works fine. When I go into iTunes the app is not in my library so I don't have an old version on iTunes that I can easily download as per this article - but I do have it on the wife's iPad.

Is there a way of getting it off hers and onto mine? When I back up her iPad I see the old version on it but it doesn't appear in the iTunes library. Downloading "not in my library" onlt downloads the new version. That does sound like a tricky situation, but I think we can get it resolved. The first thing you should do is delete any newer copy of the app from your iTunes library, if you have one.

Next, on your wife's iPad which still has the older version of the app, connect it to your computer and open iTunes. This should load the old copy into your iTunes library. If you do not already have a copy of the app on your iPad, you should then be able to do a sync and have the older version downloaded to your iPad.

Hope this works for you. Thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't work I'm afraid. When I try to transfer the purchases from my wife's iPad it does not result in a copy of the app appearing. The app similarly does not appear in the list of apps that are on my wife's iPad when I connect it up to iTunes - and yet, it does show up in the screen arranging pane, and it IS there on the iPad, as I can use it on her iPad. I don't understand why it doesn't appear and doesn't transfer when it is plainly there.

If only I could get it off I understand I could easily load it onto my own iPad. So the solution did not work with my wife's iPad - despite the app being on there it would not transfer when "transferring purchases". Luckily I also found a copy on a third old iPad and the solution worked perfectly there. Thanks guys! You are welcome!

I am not sure why it didn't work on your wife's iPad, but glad you found another iPad to get it working. I seem to be stuck with a similar issue. I can get the app downloaded and I get the message that asks to download an older version. So I have don this.
