1st Gen iPod Touch stuck, won't restore!

I have an old iPod touch, 1st generation. I plugged it into my computer to restore it to original settings. My computer recognizes it, but says it has detected an iPod that is stuck in recovery mode. So the option is to restore the iPod. When I click that, it begins to go through the "Extracting software" and then "Preparing iPod to restore"...and then, it pops up with an error message that says "The iPod could not be restored. An unkown error has occured (1). I have tried this so many times. I've tried restarting, repowering the iPod on and off. Doing a hard reboot, holding down the menu botton upon start up to get it off the "connect to iTunes" screen. Nothing works. My computer system is current, Maverick. And my iTunes is up to date as well. Can anyone help?? THANK YOU!! Also, the iPod was working just fine before trying to restore it.

Active IPAD 2 Problems after full restore

We followed this:
If you're locked out of your iPad and it's telling you that you need to disable "Find my iPhone".
And... you have access to a computer that you've synced your iPad with before.
Do these steps in the very specific order:
Pull up itunes on your computer
Turn off your ipad
Plug the cord into your computer (a computer that you have synced your iPad with before)... DO NOT PLUG INTO IPAD YET
Hold down the home buttom (The iPad is off.. and not plugged in)
Keep the home button pressed down.... Until I mention to release it
With the home button pressed down (the circle button).... with iTunes on the computer... and with the cord plugged into the computer.... Now, plug in the cord to the iPad. (Keep the home button pressed in).
On iTunes it will offer you the option to restore the iPad (This will wipe everything from you ipad unless it's backed up in the cloud).
Once you've clicked "restore" for the computer to start erasing and restoring... ONLY THEN release the home button (circle button).
Wait a bit.... It will do it's thing.
Eventually it will restore to apple settings.
But stopped in Active iPAD Screen.
We have the right Apple ID ( We tested the ID and the password ), we have access to email account ( same Apple ID ), but ITUNES showing that [email protected] can't be used to unlock this iPad !!! What's happing ?

Apple - Fix this!!!!!!
Apple, THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK on iOS 6 regarding "WIFI Lockout"!!!!!!
When this happens (WIFI freezes up aka "WIFI Lockout") – you can not get on internet while using WIFI!!!!!
You could be in the middle of surfing or using any app that makes data calls based on DNS and suddenly you can go no where or do nothing!
Yea sure, you can restart the WIFI connection, but WHO wants to CONTINUALLY do that?????
Apple (or any curious iOS 6 user that wants to see my point), when this happens open up a browser before you reset, disconnect/reconnect WIFI ( I tried both safari and chrome ) and type type 74.125.227.144 (google) and then “go”. A google search page will come up and you will be able to execute a search. (of course any link you click on will not work as it is dependant on DNS resolution)
Non DNS traffic works so the issue is not the WIFI connection to the access point!
APPLE, FOCUS ON FIXING THIS DNS DATA ISSUE AND YOU WILL GET MANY PEOPLE OFF YOU BACK!!!!
I KNOW THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH iOS 6, BUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SURF OR GET DATA THE iOS 6 DEVICE IS REQUESTING!!!!!

MY 1st gen iPad has candy crush ---but it is stuck in "an update mode". My iPad can no longer acceptsupdates for any games beyond 5.1. Therefore, each time I try to access the game it goes into a "pause" mode. I would hate to delete the game because I think I will lose my score. But I can't play the game either. Can someone help me with this? Can I go back to my last updated candy crush for my ipad, or do I have to delete it and start over? Also, how would I get the one for my generation iPad

I have a similar problem. But my iPad shows the connect iTunes screen and gives error 2001 when I try to restore it.
My iPad's battery was fine but I didn't use it for like 2 weeks. It's battery would've discharged and it turned off. When I tried to charge through wall socket, it got into the restart loop where it would show apple logo and turn off. So I did the simultaneous holding of Home and Sleep buttons for 10 seconds or more. It started showing connect to iTunes.
When I try to restore, the iTunes does the usual "extracting file" or something and go upto preparing for restore. But the iPad screen turns off from "connect to iTunes" and iTunes gives the error 2001, and the screen is back to connect to iTunes.
Also, if I don't plug in, the iPad seems dead, doesn't wake up or anything.

I recently upgrade to an iPAD Air. I gave my old iPAD (1st gen) to my wife. I restored it to original factory conditions. Now we cannot install iBook on it since it requires iOS 7. What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional.

Look at this similar problem in getting Netflix on an iPad 1. Same technique should work for you.

1st Gen iPad, can't restore on any computer

I was given a 1st gen 16Gb wifi ipad at work.
The ipad was functioning and I decided to restore to factory settings to clear our all the prior users info and be able to sync to my iTunes.
Seemed to be going well enough until I got to the screen that shows the USB cable with the arrow to iTunes...
now I can't detect the iPad on any computer so I can't complete the restore.
I've tried my late 2011 Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion fully updated, my 2007 Mac mini with Lion, my family PC with windows 7, and my work PC with windows 7. None of them detect the iPad being connected... the PC's don't show the device in "my computer" and iTunes on the Macs don't show the device.
All of the above machines can detect my iPhone, no problem.
I've tried 6 different cables of varying ages.
The iPad doesn't even make the connection bleep noise when plugged into a computer.. it does when plugged into a charger.
I charged it to 100% with the original 10 W charger.
I've gone through all the different techniques of holding buttons and such, but the bottom line seems to be I just cannot connect to a computer.
Could the prior owner have it so it can only connect to his computer and I'll have to restore from that machine?
Thanks for reading. I look forward to any further advice before making an appointement at the Apple Store.

I had the same problem with my 1st gen iPad,(my iPad would not power up even when connected to the charger) I held down the home and reset button and "voila" my iPad powered up. I hope this helps someone in the same predicament
1st gen iPad won't power on, even when connected to the wall charger. Help, please!

1st gen iPad

I have the 1st gen iPad which don't have the new iOS 6 software and my kindle app will not open because of the new iOS 6 update. How do I get this app to open because 1st iPad is on version iOS 5 software?

You can try closing all of the apps in the recents tray, clears Safari, reset the iPad and see of that makes a difference.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
Now close all apps. Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Then reset the iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try restoring the iOS software and see if that helps at all.

Hello! i tried to install OS5 in my 1st gen IPAD (16gb) and it froze in the process. My IPad still runs normally (on OS 4) EXCEPT itunes cannot recognize, sync or even charge my IPad!

hello! i tried to install OS5 in my 1st gen IPAD (16gb) and it froze in the process. My IPad still runs normally (on OS 4) EXCEPT itunes cannot recognize, sync or even charge my IPad!

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

1st gen iPad gone Dark

my daughter has an 1st gen iPad and the screen has recently gone black. Tried restarting but to no avail. HELP!!! I don't remember the last iOS but definitely no iOS7..

Hello there, Tinka2Adee.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with an iOS device not powering on:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

1st Gen iPad won't connect to my home router. EVER. Refuses to connect to my wifi.

HELP ME PLEASE WITH THIS 1st GEN IPAD refusing to connect to Wi-Fi ISSUE
It shows up as having full signal, and shows the name of our network. But go to Safari and try to go do anything and it spins and spins then tells me "Cannot Open Page...Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." Well...it never responded in the first place, so....
Apple says it works fine on their in-house system when we took it in. Told us to call Comcast. More than once, Comcast walked me through 20 mins of reconfiguring the router and the iPad and multiple phone calls and a trip to Comcast later...no go.They say it's Apple's problem now or that I have to buy a special Comcast technical support account for further help --- which doesn't guarantee anything....
This is rather BS to have this unusable thing for so long and now be expected to pay MORE money to get something like this working....and why won't anyone take responsibility? It cannot be that big a deal.
We now have been unable to use our expensive iPad for about 4 months or more. What the heck am I supposed to do? Throw it in the trash take the huge loss as a life lesson to not bother paying Apple prices for stuff that only works for a few months before some glitch or software issue makes it unusable without having to buy a new unit or pay someone to keep trying only to hear '...sorry, call someone else...'*
*Same thing happened with my perfecctly perfect dual G5 tower...motherboard burned out for no reason. Paid 1200 to replace that...then a year later the other main board fries...on a computer that barely ever got used...ended up having to literally give it away on Craigslist and buy a new iMac...which then made all my expensive music software and projects unusable. So I have about three years of special music project files sitting on a harddrive that will never be able to be used.
...I'm beyond frustrated since all we wanted the iPad for in the first place was to be able to check some websites and emails...help me help me.

If the iPad works on other Wi-Fi systems then I'd have to agree that it is your own router causing the problem. To be sure take your iPad to a Starbucks or your library and a few other places than have Wi-Fi and test it out. If it works in those locations you'll need to talk to Comcast some more and be assertive. Something could have failed in your router.
Regarding your hard disk full of music. Put it in an enclosure and connect it to your Mac. Other World Computing sells all sorts of hard drive enclosures that you can install your drive in.
Computers can be frustrating but solutions are sometimes just around the corner.

My sister gave me her 1st gen iPad to see if I could solve an issue. It won't turn on, and when it's plugged into a power cord there is a slow pulsing sort of flash that happens on the screen....any ideas?

My sister gave me her 1st gen iPad to see if I could solve an issue. It won't turn on, and when it's plugged into a power cord there is a slow pulsing sort of flash that happens on the screen....any ideas?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! Now see if it charges normally and after a period try to turn it on again. If the batter has been drained it could take 20 minutes or so for it to show that it is charging.
Also considering if the battery need replacing!

Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

1st Gen iPad problems with Pages

I have a 1st Gen iPad and have the Pages app, but now that the new Pages app has been issued for iOS7 I can no longer open docs from the cloud in the older app. I saved the docs from my mac as a pages09 file and still can't get them to open. What now?

I spent about 4+ hours with Tech Support on this issue. There is no luck according to their Senior Technician. He spend time rummaging over the internet offering me solutions with 3rd party apps to get 'iCloud" back with pages, but none of them worked with an "Offline" mode. This was a big hinderance on myself as well. I am a Tech Writer and had a lot of documents that I needed to send to my Editor...he uses Pages as well... Once I edited my documents in the New Pages, he couldn't opened them...this is not good. I know newspapers all around are probably feeling this burn right now.
I have found a solution however, but it requires a previous purchase. I bought Pages 09 back on 10.6.3 Snow Leopard long before the Mac App Store was opened to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 What I did what continue using that program, denying the update to Pages in OSX Mavericks. Still though with all the documents I had to open each individual one and resave them as .DOC format then reimport them into iCloud after cleaning out the /Library/Mobile Documents/Pages section.
Now as I am a Tech Writer, I do NOT expect the average user to figure this out or even need to figure this out, this was an unacceptable move by Apple and after looking at the specs, there is NOTHING that would prevent them from making Pages 10 Backwardscompatible for Pages 09 users or add Pages 10 support to iPad. Since they ONLY allow it to run on iOS7 Devices, kind forces you to run out an buy a new iPad2 or higher.... since I am quite confortable with my 1st Generation, I will continue using Pages 09' and if worst comes to worse, I will roll back to Mountain Lion, there was no update feature on that one and never did it bother me about upgrading Pages 09....

How to improve use for 1st Gen iPad

I love this app. I have other pdf readers but I love this app the most. The only problem is, it lags on me most of the time. It slows down every now and then. Please give me some advice on how I can improve the performance of the Adobe Reader on my 1st Gen iPad. Thank you very much!

The lagging problem might be the reason of memory. You can try using Adobe Reader after freeing up memory by removing stuff from your device which is not necessary.
Thanks,
