Help running Amazon Cloud Player in iPod Touch 3rd Generation

Hi,

We just bought a used iPod Touch Gen 3 for my son. We are using the latest OS available for his device: iOS 5.1.1. I've set him up with my AppleID so that he can play the games, etc I've already purchased for him for my iPad 3, which is running iOS6.

When I try to install Amazon Cloud Player on his device we receive the error that it is only compatible with iOS6.

Is there any way to install an older version of Amazon Cloud Player on his iPod Touch while still using my Apple account, which runs the iOS6 version of Cloud Player?

Thanks,

iPod touch, iOS 5.1.1, 3rd Gen

Hello, Audg!

I'm actually kinda confused, I know that on for example, the iPhone 3GS, it should ask for you to download an older version. As seen in the following screenshot:

Did you see this at all? This should of happened in the proccess in the install. Try to install it again, see what happens.

Regards, Maxx 🙂

Hi MaxxStorm,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I've seen that option with other apps, but I did not get this option with Amazon Cloud Player. Do you think I should contact Amazon instead?

It will not do any good contacting Amazon. If the iPod is singed into the same account that purchased the app on the other device then it is not available for iOS 5. It could be that there was never a version compatible with iOS 5.

Thanks for your reply. I will see if we can import the Amazon music into iTunes or some other work around.

I am having the same issue with my IPAD (older IPAD, cannot update beyond IOS 5). Did you find a fix?
