Firefox, , Sling, Hulu & Spectrum Apps for iPad 3 with IOS version 9.3.5 (13G36)

I recently had to reset my iPad and am now unable to re-install the Firefox, Sling, Hulu & Spectrum Apps. When i attempt to re-install these apps, i receive a message that indicates that these Apps are not compatible with the version of IOS on my iPad. These Apps were working fine prior to the time that i reset the iPad. I am unable to locate any backups from which to restore the older versions that I need of these Apps. Note that I was able to restore from my "purchased" items in the iTunes store the needed, older, versions many of my other Apps.

iPad, iOS 9

Michel,

Thank you for the quick response. I know that I committed an error in not creating a backup of data and Apps prior to resetting the iPad 3. The iPad 3 is still very usable with the Apps that I was able to install or restore from iTunes, however, I purchased an iPad 8 today. to allow acessto all of the Apps for which access is needed. I was hoping that there was some way for me to access older versions of the 4 Apps that I had previously installed, as mentioned in my initial post.

I forgot to add: The objective here is to come up withi a way to either obtain the older versions of Firefox, Sling, Hulu & Spectrum Apps or find a wok-around that allows use of IOS version 9.3.5 (13G36) with the current versions of these Apps.

Nope.

Your nearly 9-year old, iPad 3rd gen model is too old, now.

Apple ended support for 8-10 year old iPads, at least, over 3 years, ago..

Virtually, all third party iOS app developers ended/stopped/abandoned supporting these old iPads over two years, ago.

There are virtually, NO MORE older iOS 9 or 10 compatible apps available from the Apple iOS App Store, any longer.

There is absolutely NO WAY to install older apps, any longer

Simply put, your 3rd gen iPad is too old and obsolete now.

Sorry.

If you need/want an iPad with an up to date iPadOS with access to current, updated apps, then you really need to seriously consider a new iPad model OR a much “newer” , used iPad model capable of running the latest iPadOS versions.

There are plenty of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS.

Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
