How to download ios 9 apps on ios 6

If you don't have access to iTunes on a computer, the only other way to be offered an older version of an app is if you had a 2nd iOS device which is compatible with the latest version of the app. Okay thank you. It's just that I hate the version of the game that I have now and would like the older version back.

I cant believe this actually works, it's simple and works exactly how it says and the work around does work, thanks a lot for this help!!! I was becoming so discouraged with my iPad gen 1 hand-me-down. Not anymore - this workaround works and now my iPad is not just a boat anchor! One important detail I noticed was that when I used it for my iPod Touch 4th Gen after downloading in iTunes, back on the iPod there was an indication on the homepage that the App was downloading, but it never completed.

Then I went back to the App Store on the iPod, re-selected the App, selected install, and hey presto I was asked if I wanted the older version. Thanks one million for this clarification!!! I have a problem. I wish to download shadow fight 2 on a Ipod Touch do not know gen but is has iOS 5 it can run on the operating system yet it crashes on loading screen.

How do I download a older version of the app which will use less processing power? If your iPod is compatible with the latest version of an app, you won't be offered an older one.

The only exception would be if you previously owned an older version of the app and it resides in your iTunes library, in which case you could refer to the "Downgrading Apps" section of this article. This article allowed me to download older apps into an original iPad. I wonder have you find a solution? I have a go pro 4 and also want to use my old ipod touch 4th gen to control it. Do you know how? A way to get around this would be brilliant.

I did everything I could to download the app that I had onto my iPad 1 original , and it installed okay, but when I tap on the app to open it, it goes black and then crashes.

How do I make it work properly please? By matti. It doesn't offer me the possiblity to download the last compatible version. I want to download the Soundcloud app. I guess, I tried to download the app 6 mouth ago and it offered me the last compatible version at that time. Is it possible that there was a change with the introduction of iOS 8? No, you should still be able to download older versions of apps, there was no change with iOS 8. However, not all developers will let you download older versions of their apps.

I would check with the developer of Soundcloud and see if they offer this. Thank you for this article! NetFlix lives again on my resurrected 3G running albeit slowly iOS4. Thank you. I got a compatible version of Skype for my iPod 4th gen!!! Thank you so much! It's really work for me, the workaround.

The App requires iOS 7 so it won't let me download it from the App store. I tried getting the app on my computer then installing it on my synced device to get an older version but the message asking me if I want to install the older version never comes up. It only says that I need iOS for the app to download. I had the previous version of the app on my ipod up until 10 min ago before I deleted it to download the new one before I knew that I needed iOS 7 for the app , but I don't know if I have ever backed up my ipod before to try to downgrade the current app.

Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch. Note that not all apps offer older versions. If you don't have the app in your iTunes library on your computer, then the older version is lost, sorry. This shows the apps that are available in the last backup. Copy this to your system Once done, you just have to drag-n-drop this. Your take?

Pick two to download and install that have had the most recent of app updates. Do not pick any third party Web browser that has NOT had an app update in a year, or more! Feb 20, PM. A note on the web browsers and iOS9 at least. We are not sure about the reason for this but some web sites, including Apple Support Communities, do not work properly with iOS9, even though they are up to date according to the distributors.

I have tried 4 of the 6 in that list and found they would not work with either Apple Support Communities or United Airlines once you start needing to do something with buttons.

Presumably there are other sites too. It may have something to do with the browser relying on some component of the outdated iOS software to do basic web site rendering, but some newer features may be absent. In this case, I am trying to install the 9Gag app. Try installing the app. Your device will notify you that the current version of the app requires iOS 7 or later.
