My ipod touch (2nd Generation) won't sync old apps after a reset. Itunes claims the apps are no longer compatible with my device, why is that? I can only guess that they apps were updated beyond my ipods ability.
iPod touch (2nd generation), iOS 4.2
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is 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.
