First Generation iPod Mini Pauses Between Songs

Hello, all!
I have a first generation iPod Mini. I also have several albums that were designed to flow naturally from one song into the next with little to no break in between the songs. This does not come through in the iPod mini. There seems to be a 1 second pause in between each song. I remember reading somewhere that it is possible. I just don't know where to go in order to find that setting. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. And, yes, I checked the 5 R's.

The iPod Mini doesn't support gapless playback unfortunately. Gapless playback is only available on the 5th Generation iPod and the second generation Nano. You can read more here: What is Gapless Playback?

What itunes version will work with a first generation ipod mini

My wife has a first generation iPod mini and wants to use it but the version of iTunes that she has on her computer will not recognize it.
Anyone know what she can do to be able to use this perfectly good device?
What was the last iTunes version to sync with this device?

The third generation iPod classic does not support BT.
If you meant the 3G iPod touch thenyou need a pair that supports:
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

ITunes 11.3.1 not responding when trying to sync first generation iPod touch

Hi,
I just updated my iTunes to 11.3.1 and now I cannot sync my first generation iPod touch. It gets to step 4 of 4 (syncing music) and on the first song iTunes stops responding. I have a Mac.
Please can someone help me on how i can get my iPod to sync as normal?
Thanks

Same problem here plus I can't sync to my iPad mini. Has Apple messed up the latest release?
I'm on Windows 7.
Update: after disconnecting and reconnecting iPad I got that working

First generation iPod not recognized by iTunes

I recently acquired a first generation iPod, (2001), which appears to be in excellent condition. It has a few dozen songs on it and it played them for over 4 hours before I stopped it with the battery icon still showing 3 bars. My problem is I can't get it to be recognized by iTunes. I tried it first with my current intel iMac and the finder wouldn't even show it although disk utility did. I then tried it on a 10 year old iMac G5 running OS 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3. itunes still won't recognize it but it shows up in the finder as an iPod icon with a firewire icon and the ipod also shows the same when connected to the computer. I think this means that it is in disk mode but I can't get out of it. I've tried every step in the Apple suggestions to no avail. I really want to put my own music on this iPod but obviously can't do anything until I can get iTunes to recognize it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

First Generation IPod touch

I have a first generation IPod Touch. Recently I lost the charge/sync cord it originally came with. Bought a new one and the IPod has not been the same since. First the shuffle option did not work, then the wrong album cover appeared for the song playing, now it plays the same song over and over. Is it the new cord or is something wrong with the IPod itself?

The new cable should have nothing to do with it.
Have you tried:
- Resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Then restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod via iTunes.

First Generation iPod Syncing Problem

Hello,
My first generation iPod battery died a while ago, but I use it in a sound dock. I recently decided to change the music on there but when I try to sync it with iTunes, sometimes it says it can't update because the playlists no longer exist and sometimes I just get an error message from Windows saying I have a USB device which is not working properly.
Any thoughts ?
Message was edited by: Steve-Dave

yeah this just started happening to me too for some reason. I figured out how to fix it by reading other posts, you have to right click on the playlist, edit playlist, click + to add another rule, select "playlist" "is" "music". then re-sync. sounds more complicated than it is, but it fixed mine.

Recently downloaded new ITunes. Can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order. Help????

Recently downloaded new iTunes. Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order. Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.

I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

What was the complete wording of the error message? Usually an error number is also given.
Maybe:
ERROR (1)
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Try on another computer
- Try another cable
- Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Do all first generation ipod nano's prebuffer the next track?

do all first generation ipod nano's prebuffer the next track?
have they always? the first gen that is.
what i mean by prebuffer is does the firmware load the next track in memory as the current track is being played ?

As far as I know, the flash memory used in the nano is one big buffer.
It doesn't work like hd based iPods where the songs are pre-loaded into a 32mb (or 64mb) buffer and played from there.

I cant download apps on my first generation ipod

i cant download apps on my first generation ipod touch. it keeps saying update required iOS 4.0

Your 1G iPod Touch cannot be upgraded past iOS 3.1.3. Many apps that are available in the App Store not require a higher version of iOS (such as iOS 4) in order to be compatible with your device. So if an app requires a higher version of iOS than what is supported by your iPod Touch, you will not be able to sync or download that app to your device. Sorry.
