Help! My iPod won't let me dowload apps

need some help!! my iPod won't let me download any apps- started to think that it was a problem with my iTunes account so I created a new one it accepts passwords for both accounts! when I go into the app store it's all working I can go into the app but cannot select the free button it's like it's not there. Really need some advice, have seen people have got the same problem wondering if it's a problem with apple. If so what can I do? many thanks, Daisy

I've been having the same problem all day today/yesterday. I have an original iPhone running iOS 3.1.3. I also noticed today some other issues with the App Store app: images from description of apps, near the end, will not scroll to the right; if I go to the "Featured" tab, no images are loaded next to the apps listed, and if I go to one of the apps listed, I cannot get back to the main "Featured" page without rebooting my iPhone (there is no "back" button). So, a few strange things are going on.


I'm sad because my laptop also recently died, and so I can't download apps through iTunes on my computer.

I had the same thing happen to my ipod which still had the 3.0.2 version on it. If you go into settings and then general, scroll all the way to the bottom and click on reset. Then you will get the option to erase your ipod data and reset it and then plug it into your PC, it will give you the option to download the 5.0.1 version. After that was done, you have the option to restore your ipod so it will put all of your music, photos, etc back on it. I did have to reload some of my apps from the app store, but after I updated it, I was able to download apps. Good luck everybody!!
