I want to install iBooks on my 4th Generation iPod Touch, however the version in the app store (3.2) requires iOS 7, which is incompatible with my 4th Gen, and it does not give me the option to "install latest compatible version". Is there any way I can download iBooks 3.1.3 and install it on my iPod?
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.5, 4th Generation
Apple seems to have fixed this problem. Innitially after the release of iOS7 the App Store did not give the option for downloading the last compatible version of iBooks for devices still running iOS6, however, now the option does appear. I was able to install iBooks on my 4th Gen iPod.
I found a solution for this issue (at least it works for my iPhone 3GS).
Instead of trying to install iBooks through iTunes on my PC, I used the iTunes app on my iPhone.
There I did get the option to install the latest compatible version.
Hope this helps 🙂
Yes, your are right.
You can install the iBooks 3.1.3 in your iPod 4G, using iOS 6.1.5, through the iPod. However, Apple did not all the necessary job: when you syncronize the iPod with iTunes, iTune insist in update the app. If you forget that fact, iBooks is updated to 3.2 version.
So, actually the question is: How to block the update of iBooks permanently.
Try downloading the current version of the iBooks app on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPod go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and you shoudl be able to download an older compatible version of it
I am also facing the same issue with my iPhone4. I don't want to install ios7. Any help ??
How do we get the option to download the older version? It just says its compatible on ios7 and the only option is "ok"
Install old version of iBooks on iOS 6.1.5
