Nano 1st gen. crashes my comp

it seems that if i have both my ipod connected and itunes running.. my computer crashes
ive tried the 5 Rs and none of them seem to work
Thank you in advance for any help

Hi SteveBAMF!
Are you getting a blue screen of any sort when the computer crashes?
If so, please quote what it says (if a file is mentioned in the BS, quote what that says, too).
If you are only getting a flash of a blue screen, or you aren't getting anything, you can switch your settings here, and see if you can make a hidden blue screen show (I'm not sure if it is different on Vista or not):
1 - Go to "My Computer" in a Windows Explorer window.
2 - Right-click on "My Computer", and click on Properties.
3 - Go to the "Advanced" tab, click on "Settings" under the "Startup and recovery" section.
4 - Verify that "Automatically restart" is not selected.
Also, have you tried fully reinstalling iTunes?
First, with your iPod disconnected, start out by going to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel.
Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
Restart your computer.
Now, go to the iTunes download page, and install iTunes 7.1.1.5 (the latest) and QuickTime onto your computer (they both come in the same "installation pack").
Restart your computer once more.
Now, connect your iPod to your computer, and see if the computer continues to crash on you.

Hi I was just wondering, if my iPod nano's serial number says that it is eligible, but its screen is not working, am I still eligibile for the iPod nano 1st gen replacement?

Yes. They'll still replace your iPod. Several users have indicated that they have returned damaged iPods and were still given a replacement iPod.

Thank you deggie to answer me . You know, I don't know much of computers and of technology but when I bought that ipod back when they came out 2005 I was able to download music from my CDs and from Youtube to itunes then transfer to my ipod and back and forth to itunes . Then if I had changed of computer I was able to transfer to that new computer.Why I'm not able to do it ? There is a program(Sharepod) that allow to do that but it cost $35.00 but I thought that was free or it is because that now I have to buy from itunes only?

Ipod nano (1st gen) not charging/not showing up on computer or itunes

I recieved a 2GB ipod nano (1st gen) as a gift back in December 2005. It's worked fine until recently. Yesterday, I tried to charge my ipod. However, when I connected my ipod to my power adapter to charge it nothing happened. The charging symbol didn't even show on the screen. So then I tried plugging it in to my laptop computer. Same result: nothing happened and worse still, it didn't even show up on My Computer or in iTunes. I then tried connecting it to our regular computer. Same result as the laptop and still no charging icon. I tried my 2nd generation nano thinking that maybe something was wrong with the USB cable or with the power adapter but it worked fine with everything. I also tried another cable. But still nothing worked. I've tried the 5 R's thing but it didn't work. I even tried leaving my ipod alone for awhile to no result. Finally I tried putting it into Disk Mode and that's where it is now. I've tried to run through the steps again with this but it didn't work. So now it's in Disk Mode and it needs to be charged but I don't know how to do it. I'm starting to think that I just need to get the battery replaced. Unless someone else has a fix that will work?? Please help!!

It sounds like the port or cable is having a problem. First try a different cable.
If the cable doesn't fix things then try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit) then see if the iPod will show up.

IPod Nano 1st Gen not connecting to my computer

My friend's iPod Nano 1st Gen won't connect to my computer (i have previsily added songs to it since last month) and now my iTunes won't show that ipod on my devices lists (I did NOT update iTunes because of the problems other people were getting)..... it will charge on my computer but WON'T sync....... WHATS UP WITH THAT???
THANKS IN ADVANCE TO THOSE THAT HELP.

Could be any number of reasons. One of them just may be your refusal to update iTunes. Just because others are having issues does not mean you'll have them!

IPod Nano 1st Gen Replacement Program Problem

I recently sent my iPod Nano 1st Gen off for the replacement program.
I wanted to make sure I would be receiving a refurbished 1st Gen back, not one of the latest gens, so I called Apple Care to confirm this.
I'm really fond of the 1st Gen and would like to keep it as a collectors item, plus mine was in relatively good condition as well (And absolutely love the scroll wheel).
The woman I spoke to at Apple Care assured me that I would receive a refurbished 1st Gen iPod Nano, she was very clear on this.
I sent off and just received a box in the mail with replacement. To my dismay, they replaced it with a 6th GEN.
I don't want to sound ungrateful, and I do appreciate Apple keeping up customer service even for old Apple products.
But I specifically asked if a 1st gen would be returned to me, which was not the case.
I called Apple care again today, and they said they didn't have the stock and provided me with whatever they could.
Had I been told there was a chance I wouldn't receive a refurbished 1st gen in return, I wouldn't have sent it off in the first place.
Can't be too upset with Apple, but not particularly happy. Any advice would be appreciated.

I just sent a request for the shipping materials today, and if I get back a refurbished 1st generation nano, I'll be more than happy to trade it for your 6th generation

How I got my Nano 1st gen to update and work

I just got my iPod nano 1st gen today (refurb)
I plugged it in......and got nothing but the flashing folder. I couldn't get it to restore or update...each time I got an error saying a file was in use or a 1418 error. Disk Utility wouldn't recognize the Nano but System Profiler would. I tried over 15 times...still nothing; would not update. I tried resetting the nano, putting in disk mode....nothing. I tried resetting during the update...nothing. Then finally, while using the stand alone iPod updater, I opened iTunes simultaneously and voila, something started happening. Whereas in the beginning, it was formatted for Windows (received that way) all of the sudden it said formatted for Macintosh, then lo and behold my nano rebooted and started working.
I'm so happy. I have previously only owned the shuffle and was so looking foward to this Nano (which I got at a great price, btw US$99.00)
So, what do I think actually did the trick? I'm not sure. The combination of resetting the iPod during the update using the stand alone iPod updater and lauching iTunes 7 simultaneously for some reason worked.
Hope this helps someone who is having a similar problem.

Which "standalone iPod updater" did you use? iPod Updater 2006-06-28 for Mac ?
My understanding was that iTunes 7.0 took away the need for standalone iPod updaters. I've been researching this topic for an hour, and hope of recovering my nano is waning.

Restored Ipod Nano 1st gen. and nike + icons do not appear in itunes 7.0.2

I have a ipod nano 1st gen. I recently purchased the nike+ reciever and shoes and they worked great. I had not problems installing the latest version of ipod software version 1.3.
On my latest run I got soaked and the nike+ receiver stopped working after the rain. Waited a day until it dried out and reconnected it to my ipod and it did not recognized the receiver.
I reset my ipod and it still did not recognized the receiver.
I restored my ipod and it ereased the nike+ icons from my ipod and itunes. I updated my windows software and reinstalled itunes 7.0.2 in my computer and still the nike+ icons do not appear in my itunes and the updates indicate that I have the lastest version of the itunes and ipod software.
What else can I do to reinstall the nike+ software in my ipod and itunes?

Evenutually received the packaging for recalled ipod nano 1st Gen

Well after submitting a request to return the ipod nano 1st gen on the 13th November 2011 and waiting all this time, I eventually received the packaging today!
I have been on the phone 3 times with Apple since then and this Wednesday decided to ring them again and the woman who I spoke to submitted a brand new request, as she said that I should have had the packaging well before now. She then said with submitting a new request that I would receive the packaging within 48 hours, which I have . I have just been to the post office (I live in the UK) and sent it off. It was so simple. There was a padded envelope and a plastic envelope and all you had to do was post the nano (nothing else) in the padded evelope, seal it, then put it in the plastic evelope and seal that. You had to check the senders address (My address) was correct on the front of the plastic envelope, which was just printed up from the address that it was going to. Then just take it to the post office and had it in and then they give you a receipt for it.
So now it's just waiting for the Nano 6th generation to be sent to me, which I was told I would be getting .
So if anyone has still not received their packaging, ring them up and submit a brand new request, if you have been waiting as long as I have and you should get the packaging quickly. They must have ran out of the boxes that they were originally sending to put the nano in.

Hi Addicbaddic,
Here is a link to the Apple page that shows all of the iPod Nano generations. You will be able to see which one is yours and compare it to the 5th gen....

Ipod Nano 1st gen not working

Hello all
I have a Ipod nano 1st gen 2gb. I can restore it, reset it with menu select key, but everytime it starts it loads to the lanuage screen and i can not click to get further into the ipod, it use to work before i upgraded the firmware to the new 1.3.1. is there away to downgrade back to like 1.1.9. I am running vista 64 bit so i cant run the 32bit restore program to try that. If there is anythign anyone can think of that will be great. Yes i have reset it via the menu key and select key like 1000 times...

I downgraded the nano from 1.3.1 to 1.1.1 then down to 1.0 and then back to 1.3.1 and still the same thing, no select function upon the Language Screen. Anyone have anything else i can try?

No it wasn't. The article specifically stated, "stop using the iPod nano immediately and contact AppleCare as soon as possible for further assistance."
Call AC and/or Customer Relations @ 1-800-767-2775 to file a claim.
Otherwise, suggest that you do your own search on Apple's site. This way the info you find won't be so useless.
