iPod apps
I want to give my old iPod to my nephew and let him use kids you tube and Netflix while I use my new iPhone. iPod won’t let me install these apps on the iPod? I have them already installed in my phone. Why is this happening?
iPod, iOS 9

Almost certainly it's because the old iPod has an older version of the operating system (iOS) that is unable to run those apps.
In other words, an app requires a minimum version of iOS in order to work (and crucially, to offer the features of the app). If the iPod cannot use that minimum version, that's why it cannot install the app.
Look on the iPod, under Settings/General/About>Software Version. What does it say? If you also look in Settings/General/Software Update, it will confirm whether or not you have the latest version of iOS that that specific iPod can use.
Let us know what you find and I can provide more detail about what that result means.
