Jan 6, 2013 2:07 AM in response to Sam Keishamby lllaass,★Helpful- Your 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1
- There is not way to search for just compatible apps.Yu nust have to find an app that inters you and look at the requirements section to see if it is compatible.
- if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Jan 6, 2013 8:28 AM in response to lllaassby Sam Keisham,thanks, for the info, after researching i also found the same answers . .
- there are some apps where it says it is compatible to iOS 4.2 but sometimes if there is no iPod 2nd generation is mentioned then it also doesnt work.
- will need to look directly for older versions of good apps thru different means.

Jan 29, 2013 10:14 PM in response to Sam Keishamby msgarmar,Not sure if this will help, but I was running into the same problem trying to find apps for my daughters Iphone 3g running 4.2.1. What I did was go to the Itunes store through Itunes on my PC, and then went to the bottom of the main page and clicked "Browse." On the browse page I selected, App Store, Games (category), Kids (subcategory), and then a list of apps appears below. I sorted by date (oldest to newest) by right-clicking next to "price" and choosing "release date" on the menu that pops up. The date created field will then be showing, which you can click on to sort newest to oldest or oldest to newest. I downloaded a bunch of free apps starting from the oldest (by name - you don't have much else to go on). Of the 30 or so I added to my Itunes, about 27 of them were compatible with 4.2.1. This is defintely not a perfect way of finding apps, but after spending a lot of time searching for a better way this was the best I could come up with.

edit... I just added the column POPULARITY. Now, couple that with FREE and when you see a long bar depicting a popular app, it should be fairly good, at least.
