For Pete’s sake, kx, it’s $10. Plus you get a more stable OS. Quit bitching and pony up.

What??
So if you have the iPod touch version 1.1.4 you simply CANNOT install apps onto your iPod unless you purchase the $10 software upgrade??… wow.

Hi Vellinn,

Thanks for the info.. Seems it worked with G.B and yvettemed. But when I went to settings/general I can’t see the restriction button. Any idea why? Thanks! I’m also using itunes v8.0 and iphone version 2.0

Thanks! It’s the strangest thing because I didn’t switch the restriction to apps off in the first place. But it did the trick : )

I figured it out. Remove your phone from itunes (unplug it). Then in the phone settings go to General, then Restrictions, then there’s an option to disable restrictions to “Installing Apps”. :)

Hi, I have the same problem as “namewithheld” – Sept.17 ’08.

I can’t sync newly downloaded apps because the Sync Apps tab in the device menu is grayed out. tabs for Podcasts, contacts, photos etc. are all working fine. The gray Sync Apps tab started about a week ago, previous to that transferring downloaded apps and syncing to my iPhone was a breeze. Am running iTunes 8, iPhone version 2.0.

any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi,

In itunes, under Store menu there is Authorize Computer option.
Do that.
