1st Gen iPod touch not charge and not recognized by iTunes

I bought 1st gen iPod touch without cable.  It won't charge or be recognized by iTunes.  Purchased a new 1st gen cable, but still doesn't work.  Do I still have the wrong cable, or is there another problem?

Did the sell say it was working?
Per the Apple store, the current dock-to-USB cable can be used with all iPod Touches.

  • 1st gen iPod touch not showing in iTunes 10.6

    Hi
    though it was about time to update my music on my 1st gen iPod Touch, however, when i connected it to iTunes it does not show up.
    Is anyone able to assist?
    I have tried hard resets and it doesn't work.
    Have Apple stopped supporting the 1st gen Touch?
    Regards

    I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

  • Could not restore 1st gen ipod touch unknown error occurred(2003)

    could not restore 1st gen ipod touch unknown error occurred(2003)

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    Also, have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

  • Issues with iTunes and 1st gen iPod Touch

    Since today, iTunes does not start automatically anymore when I connect my iPod Touch. If I launch iTunes manually, it recognized the iPod and syncs normally. What might have happened here and how can I fix this? The option in the preferences to automatically sync when an iPod gets connected is activated.
    I have a 1st gen iPod Touch (2.2.1), a Mac Pro (OS X 10.5.6) with iTunes 8.1.
    Funnily enough, iTunes starts immediately whenever I connect my old iPod nanos (2nd and 3 rd gen).
    Next steps, which I will try, are reinstalling the Apple Mobile Device Service and if that does not help, restoring the iPod touch.
    Any ideas?
    Best,
    Mustrum

    You unchecked the "Open iTunes when THIS iPod is connected" on the Summary Tab.

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • BOSE Mk1 Soundock & 1st Gen iPod Touch + Electric/Static Noise**

    I have recently bought a Bose Mk1 Soundock for my 1st Gen iPod Touch, at first worked fine, brilliant lil gadet, but then it started to generate a reeeely high pitched electric/static noise when the battery was fully charged when music was both on or off, i returned and got an exchange for a brand new bose which didnt solve the problem so i can only assume its the ipod, so i put in a service request with apple, off it went and came back 'un-repaired' as apple 'could not reproduce the problem/s'?? since then it has started generating this noise regardles of battery level or music on/off and is reely, reely, reely annoying and is rendering the unit virtually unusable with the bose, am i the only one who can hear this or is anyone else having/had the same problem??!?

    Hey
    Is it this noise:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqeggo7DSGg
    If so, I'm having the same problem. I've emailed B&W support about it. It doesn't occur without the ipod docked. Doesn't seem to be a problem with other docks though, so it could be fixable with a firmware update. In fact, it wasn't ever a problem with the original Zeppelin firmware, only after the update.

  • Frozen 1st gen ipod touch

    My 1st gen. ipod touch is completely frozen.  It is not even recognized when I connect it to itunes.  I have tried restarting it several times, but that hasn't helped.  When it restarts, it shows the red flash for battery charge, then goes to apple screen, then it stays stuck on apple screen - with frozen "timer".  Any suggestions on how to get this back???

  • 1st Gen ipod touch no longer keeping time

    As the title says my 1st gen ipod touch no longer keeps time when I let it go completely flat. It keeps resetting itself back to the default time and date. Started happening in the last 6 months. I'm running IOS 2.2.1 never bothered updating to IOS 3 because of a known issue with the volume bar disappearing which I don't think had even been fixed. It hasn't been synced with the itunes for 2-3 years. The laptop with the itunes library for this device hasn't worked for a couple of years and haven't sync my ipod to a new computer due to some of the apps I used and some of my song/video purchases no longer being available and I don't want to risk losing those purchases if doing a factory resets not going to make a difference. Battery life for my ipod is still pretty good, get 3 weeks out of it when I leave it in standby mode using it for an alarm clock and about a week listening to music going to and from work only a few hours playing games or videos but that was never to great to begin with. My Ipod touch does have a cracked screen, but it's been cracked for the last 5 years. No other problems. Is else have this issue? Will factory reset make a difference or is it just something to put up with till my ipod touch dies?

    It sounds like the battery is really dying and does not have enough voltage to maintain the time when the iPod shuts off due to low battery.
    You can try restoring to factory settings/new iPod and see if that helps.

  • ANY radio app for 1st gen iPod touch?? Even with Wifi!?

    Firstly, I know the 1st gen ipod touch does not have a radio receiver..this is not my problem.
    I've been looking for an app that I can listen to the radio on..even through wifi...but am not finding any that will work with the 1st gen. For example, I download TuneIn radio which I have on my itunes, blackberry, and tablet...but it is only compatible with newer generations of the ipod touch. I am on version 3.1.3 which I believe is the most up-to-date.
    In short, I'm absolutely fine to use wifi to listen to the radio, but simply can't find an app (ideally a free one) that will even let me sync the app from my itunes to the ipod.
    Suggestions would be very welcome!

    Try my web app. I have over 100 stations of all genres. Just enter the following URL in Safari and tap on the orange music icon on top right. Also, you can add a Home screen app icon for easy future access.

  • Twitter App. for 1st Gen. iPod Touch

    I recently was having problems with the Twitter App. on my 1st Gen. iPod Touch and so decided to delete the app and re-download it again, like I had done a week earlier. During the download an error message popped up stating that I need ios 6 or later to download the app. Apple had updated the Twitter App on March 10th and I tried re-downloading March 14th, however a week earlier I was offered the opportunity to download an earlier version of Twitter. I am currently only able to use Twitter via Safari. Does anyone out there have a solution to get the official Twitter App. (And no "Buy a newer iPod stuff"!)
    Cheers
    ps IF ANYONE FROM APPLE MANAGES TO SEE THIS CAN YOU PLEASE OFFER THE OPPRTUNITY TO DOWNLOAD LATER VERSIONS OF APPS FOR 1ST GEN IPOD TOUCH

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    Apple did not say why did not allow this option for iOS 3.1.3/1G iPod.
    Apple does not monitor these forums. To make a suggestion to Apple:

  • Getting App off 1st Gen iPod touch to use on iPhone

    I have a 1st gen ipod touch with an app that is no longer available in the app store (the original EA SimCity).  I want to save it to my pc so i can put it on my iphone, but when I backup or sync my ipod touch, it doesn't backup the game. Any way I can get the game off the ipod onto my pc or into itunes?   I want to play the game i paid 5 bucks for, but EA cleverly obsoleted the game and re-released it under the same title with one tweak.

    Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computerIt is an all or no transfer. Then sync the app to the iPhone.
    If you also want the game status restored:
    - How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
    - Or backup the iPod to iTunes and restore the iPhone from that backup. All the apps have to be in the iTunes library since the backup does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • 1st gen iPod Touch with iOS 3.1.3 - update via wi-fi?

    That's basically it.  I found my old 1st gen iPod Touch and wanted to update the iOS, but I am away from my computer with iTunes. 
    I do have wi-fi though.
    I tried via Settings->General->Update.  But it doesn't have an update option in settings.
    Anyone? 

    A 1G iPod Touch can not be updated past iOS 3.1.3.  Only the 3G and 4G iPod touch models can run iOS 5 or later, which added in the ability to update via the Settings app.
