IPod Touch - 1st Gen - iOS 3.1.3 "can't connect"

Hello I have an iPod Touch - 1st Gen with iOS 3.1.3.  After each update of iTunes I get this same problem... I'll connect it to the PC and then iTunes will see it and start to sync up.  After a min or so it will say that it can't sync because it can't find the iPod...  Can someome help please?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable and USB port
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or               
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • "Facetime failed" messages on my iPod Touch (4th gen, iOS 5)

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch running on iOS 5 and I can't connect with anyone on FaceTime. I've tried calling friends on their iPhones (using their phone number) and friends on their iPod Touches (using their email address) and each time, I get a "facetime falied" message. I've tried turning FaceTime off/on again, but it still won't work. I've also reset my iPod touch and it still won't work. I also get the "not delivered" message when I try to contact my friends through iMessage. My wifi network is very strong and I can connect on Skype, yahoo messenger and many other apps that need an internet connection without any problems. Any suggestions?

    UPDATE: I changed the DNS server settings to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8) and now I can send/receive messages from other people's iMessage accounts, but where I was able to send/receive messages from myself, I'm no longer able to. It's now working at 95%, but I'd like to have it at 100%. Any suggestions or advice?

  • Help. I can't update iPod Touch 1st gen from ios 2.1.2 to 3.1.1; already paid for it.

    Hi all,
      I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
      I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one  seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
      I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
      Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.

    Yes, I have contacted them. They are who told me to try a few of the "fixes". They actually said they had never heard of this error, or any problems relating to his download. Also, when I was talking to them, they came here to this forum to find the answer...:/ This is why I am asking here. I was hoping someone had an idea I hadn't tried already.
    Thanks.

  • My ipod touch 1st gen keeps on saying when i come to download an app it says update required this app requires ios 4.3

    my ipod touch 1st gen keeps on saying when i come to download an app it says update required this app requires ios 4.3 please help

    Sorry, but there is nothing you can do other than buy a newer iPod. A 1st-generation iPod touch cannot run any version of iOS later than 3.1.3 and hence cannot run any app that requires a newer version.
    Regards.

  • HT4972 iPod touch 1st gen. IOS 3.1.3

    Is there any free apps and games that will run on iPod touch 1st gen. IOS 3.1.3 if so where can I get them?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

  • Trying to get my ipod touch (1st gen) to upgrade to ios 3.1.1

    Trying to get my ipod touch to upgrade to ios 3.1.1.   I get an error message 8288

      Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
      “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
      Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:

    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

  • IPod Touch 1st gen to iTunes connecting speed

    I'm an iPod Touch 1st gen newbie on iOS 3.1.3; My question is when connecting the iPod to iTunes 10.1.1 how long does it normally take for the device to show up? When connecting an iTouch that's OFF (connection turns it on), I find it probably takes 5-8 minutes for the device to show up. I'm left sitting there not sure if I need to do something. Should the device be ON? When using my iPod Nano (2nd gen) it shows up on iTunes very fast and I see the device on the Desktop. iTouch doesn't show up on the Desktop as a connected device even though Finder options is checked on so iPods are recognized. Otherwise, all is well and great with the device. Thanks.

    iPod touches and iPhones are not recognized as disk drives and therefore will not appear on the Desktop. I would say that 5-8 minutes to be recognized by iTunes is not normal, however.
    You might want to focus your efforts on your Mac. I would check/repair permissions on the HD, remove all earlier instances of iTunes, make sure you are running the latest version of OS X that you can (I think 10.5.8 is the latest you can use). You might have to uninstall iTunes and download/reinstall. The correct way to do that is in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

  • Ipod touch(1st gen) stuck in recovery mode and cannot restore??

    I just bought a used ipod touch 1st gen.  It was fully functional before I wiped it.  I wanted to remove all of the other person's music and personal info before I started using it. I also wanted to update ios.  I wiped it and when it restarted it was in recovery mode. I have tried to restore it and I keep getting an error message that it could not restore unknown error has occurred  (1).  I have tried troubleshooting and going through all of the steps that Apple suggests and nothing has worked.  Any suggestions?  I just want it restored and updated to the latest ios that will work with it (3.1.1 I believe) I don't know what to do at this point.

    - Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.

  • IPod Touch 1st gen inoperate

    Hi,
    I find out my old iPod Touch 1st gen but it's not working anymore.
    I tried to connect it to my mac with iTunes but it can't launch it too. Message error number 1600 or 1403 so i can't restore the iOS through iTunes. Furthermore, the iPod Touch display lots of lines and flash on the screen.
    How can I restore the iOS ?

    Thanks Illaass !
    I followed trouble shooting solution number 1604 and I finally successed to recognize by iTunes my iPod Touch and download the iOS.
    For others, the method is the following:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    The iOS is correctly downloaded on my mac and iTunes ask me to restore my iPod. I launched the restoration  and went through all the process (initializing, instalation, verification) but I always got the same message error number 6.
    I checked the help page. Therefore I tryed the following solution but no result:
    - change USB port (I have no other USB device connected),
    - reload iTunes (I have the lastest version),
    - disabled iantivirus,
    - try to restore the iPod with no internet conection (totally impossible).
    What should I do ?
    note: during the restoration process, the iPod screen showed a lot of flash and colored lines.

  • Ipod touch 1st gen will not sync my apps

    I've just bought my youngest son a cheap second hand Ipod touch 1st gen. I currently run an Iphone 4 and an Ipod touch 4th gen which both sync no problem but this new Ipod will sync everything I have (music, films, books, contacts etc but not the apps. When I click onto the apps section within the new Ipod on iTunes the availabe apps are greyed out and whereas I can click the "sync" box on all other sections there is no response when I click that box in apps.
    Please help me, the other Ipod touch is for my daughter and i can not imaging what will happen come christmas if she has all my apps but my son doesn't. Especially Angry Birds!!!!!!

    - Is the iPod signed into the same iTunes account that purchased the apps? (Settings>Store)
    - Are the apps compatible with a 1G iPod with iOS 3.1.3.  Many apps require a later model iPod or later iOS.l
    - Are restrictions set that prevent add ing apps? Settings>Genera>Restrictions
