I am unable to re-install an app I deleted. Help, please?

My brother owns an iPod touch 2nd generation (iOS 4.2.1), and I deleted his Twitter by accident. I am unable to re-install the app since it only supports iOS 5. However, it seems that iOS 5 is not available for this iPod. He wants me try my best to get Twitter back. I feel so bad, please help me. Thanks!

iPod touch, iOS 4.2.1

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.
