How to get an App compatible to older iOS versions

[javsonic]

Hi,

I have a 1st Gen Pad with iOS 5.1.1 on it.

I downloaded a compatible Spotify App for this version that was running well, now I made the mistake to select "update All" apps and now I cannot use Spotify anymore (current App is compatible with iOS6 an onwards). how do I resume my older App? After the upgrade I cannot even see Spotify listed in the Apps I have installed on the device.

Any help/hint is welcomed!

Well done that man!

No. Not all devices can be upgraded to iOS 6 and if your are getting that notification that doesn't mean you CAN upgrade.

I found the solution incase anyone still has the same issue.

1. Download Spotify on COmputer with your usual Apple ID

2.Reset ipod/iphone 

3. Go to app store and search for Spotify

4. Instead of "Get" icon you will see Cloud icon, click on it

5. Will get message if you want to get a older Spotify edition since current one is not compatible.

This method worked for me, with iOS 5.1.1 and a 3rd gen iPod Touch. However I did not need to reset anything.

Thank you very much!

On my ios5 touch if you download the app on the device from the App Store it just gave me the option to download the last compatible version of the app. Work fine for me.

Hi. Just found my old iPod touch and I wanted to download spotify but ir says I need to up date my iPod. IOS 5.1.1 is what I got.

I hope someone is still checking this haha. 

I've got a iPod Touch 3rd gen with iOS 5.1.1 as it's newest OS. 

I've tried the fix however it looks like iTunes has been updated since the fix was originally posted, and most traces of "app store" are not visible. You have to manually search for Spotify, and then there are only "iPhone" and "iPad" versions, and neither are allowed to be downloaded- since i'm using a Windows device, it greys out the 'GET' button and says it's only for iOS devices. 

I'm curious if there are any new fixes. 

So far it seems like I'll not be continuing my Spotify sub because I can't use it 😞
