How to download programs (games) on iPhone and iPad App Store

May our regular readers forgive us for this post :). Many of our articles and tutorials are aimed at active iPhone, iPad or Mac users. But the ranks of Apple technology fans are swelled daily by thousands of newcomers. Especially for those who have just bought their first iDevice, we will tell you how to install the first application on it and if it is possible to download the iPhone application Play Market (Google Play).

How to install an application from the App Store, which requires a new version of iOS?

Hello all! Apple is constantly releasing new versions of iOS and, frankly, thanks a lot for that. Why? Because, thereby, it does not let me get bored all the time something happens. But never mind, back to the topic of the article. So, Apple tries and produces, and the developers of games and applications, in turn, in a timely and very quickly remake their programs so that they were fully compatible with the new firmware.

And as a result, you may receive such a situation when you are trying to download an application from the App Store, and your iPhone or iPad tells you that you need to update your gadget to a newer version of iOS and nothing will be installed or downloaded until then. Here’s an unexpected ultimatum from Apple and its services. Checkmate! Or don’t?

It looks like this ugly thing:

This content (app) requires iOS 7.0 (there can be any version) and newer. To download and use this app, upgrade by installing iOS 7.0 (or an older version of the software).

And, it would seem, what’s the problem? Update and download! But:

  • There is not always a need for a new version of the firmware, someone wants to leave his device on the old and proven version of the software. Look at how many “cracks” iOS 10 has! Not everyone will want to update.
  • Many people just can not install new firmware here is an article on the subject, pay attention to the number of Комментарии и мнения владельцев.
  • At this point, people still have a lot of gadgets like the iPhone 4 on their hands. And, as we know, for it, the latest iOS version is 7.1.2. That’s it, you can no longer update it, and many apps and games when downloading from the App Store require iOS 8 and no less! And in the future it will continue next in line iPhone 4S, and then the “five” is not far away.

What to do in this case? Leave your gadget without apps and games? Of course not! There is a way to download those applications to your iPhone which require a newer version of iOS than the one currently installed.

Updated! Apple surprised everyone and removed the App Store from the new versions of iTunes. So before you start following the instructions, it is worth checking whether you can access the app and game store from your computer? No? Here’s an article on how you can get the App Store back on iTunes. That’s OK? Continued

True, one smartphone is not enough for that, you also need a computer.

  • Download and install iTunes on your computer. Launch. You don’t have to connect your iPhone or iPad.
  • In iTunes we open the App Store and select the application which you have not downloaded to your device because of an old version of iOS.
  • Press “Download” and enter your Apple ID (the ID must be the same as the one you are using to register your iPhone or iPad).
  • That’s it, we don’t need iTunes anymore. Pick up your iPhone or iPad, open the App Store, and go to the “Shopping” section. Find the program that you downloaded earlier to your computer, and click on the “Cloud with an arrow” icon.
  • A warning message appears that an older version of the app will be installed, click “Ok” and wait for the download.

That is, we can install a program which previously required a newer version of iOS on your iPhone and iPad. And we did not even touch the firmware update it was not necessary!

The only thing, as you have already understood, this way install old versions of applications and games (specifically for that iOS which is installed on your device at the moment). So there may not be any new features (introduced in subsequent editions of the program).

But the main thing is that the application itself will work and can be used! It is much better than a bare device without any games and programs.

Problems with the App Store may also be caused by an incomplete (incorrect) change of your Apple ID account. Try logging back in to the App Store. To do this, go to Settings → iTunes Store and Apple Store, click on Apple ID (email address), and in the window that appears, select Sign out, then reboot the device and log back in to the virtual Apple Store using your Apple ID.

I can’t open apps on my iPhone

In addition to the lack of memory (we will talk about this below), applications on the iPhone may crash due to problems with the SDKs of third-party services. For example the social networking SDK can cause spontaneous crashes of the applications in which it was built. There are a lot of apps that use this feature, from messengers like Viber to Yandex.Navigator. All of these apps just stop opening on the iPhone as a result of the crash.

As a temporary solution, you can run one of the VPN services. here you can learn how to do it. Developers are usually quick to fix such glitches, but if you don’t have time to wait, a VPN is a great way out.

I can’t download an application or can’t download an app from the App Store

Hi! Why do we all love our iPhone or iPad so much?? No, not for the “bitten apple” logo. And for the huge number of different programs that we can download from the App Store. It’s true, you can expand the functionality of your smartphone or tablet in just two clicks, choose the program you need, and it’s already on your device. However, sometimes it’s not so easy and different bugs occasionally pop up. One of them we will talk about today.

So, let’s skip the small talk and get to the heart of the problem. The situation is very simple, you are going to install (update) some toy and see the inscription: “Failed to download the program. Failed to download the application. Please try again later. Apple, are you serious?? What the hell “try again later? What’s the reason? App Store is closed for lunch?:)

And, more often this error pops up at the end of the download. It seems that the application is already 100% downloaded, but the whole process “happily” hangs and installation does not happen.

And it really annoys (especially when you expect to play a game of large volume). You wait and wait and in the end you get a nuisance like this.

By the way, not for nothing in the title of the article I wrote incomprehensible words in English. The error text can be the following “Unable to Download App. Could not be downloaded at this time”. With two buttons “Done” and “Retry.

Which in its essence is almost the same. In any case the solution methods of these errors are absolutely identical.

Important note! Be sure to check your internet connection. Yes, it sounds trivial, but it is unlikely. Maybe it was at the end of the download it has turned off and that is why the program can not boot to the end everything happens:)

Here are other ways to deal with “Unable to Download App” error which prevents downloading applications from the App Store:

install, application, iphone
  • The first tip (also recommended by Apple technical support) is to reset the network. For that you just need to go to Settings Main Reset.
  • If you have a jailbreak, the problem is definitely in it. Remember what tweaks have been installed recently and remove them one by one (starting with the latest). If it did not help, you will have to completely “tear down” the jail from your iPhone or iPad (all ways to do it right).
  • Sign out of your Apple ID account (iTunes Store Settings and App Store Exit). Close all open applications (press Home button twice and “swipe up” gesture). Reboot your device (you can do a hard reset). Logging back into the account.
  • Try to add another DNS servers (how to do it)?). Useful action, which can help not only with slow program loading, but also in cases when nothing is downloaded at all.
  • Go to Settings General Date and time and turn off automatic time setting. Set the date a year in advance. Try to download or update the application. If you still get “Unable to Download App”, then reset the auto-date and try again.
  • Stay in “Main Settings” and pay attention to the “Device Management” line. Delete if there is something there.
  • Look at the size of the program it is possible that it is more than 200 MB, and you are trying to download it via a cellular network. Not surprisingly, it will not boot! But this limitation can be bypassed (the answer is here). Apple servers and services. Maybe due to various malfunctions, applications and games do not install absolutely everyone, and you do not know about it:) Although there is an alternative to find out about it in the Комментарии и мнения владельцев to this article.

It would seem that this is absolutely all options to solve the problem.

There is another, the most reliable and win-win way to restore iOS firmware. Of course this process is not fast and rather “slow” (although if you follow the instructions it is very easy). And you don’t always have a computer handy, but remember that this radical method for not downloading programs on your iPhone is still worth trying.

True, I really hope that it will not come to such extreme measures. Well, if you have tried everything (even recovery), and you still can not download anything from the App Store, be sure to describe your situation in the Комментарии и мнения владельцев. Let’s try to figure it out all the world:)
