1st Gen, No sound?!?!

Hi guys, I just got my Itouch 1st Gen off ebay, plugged it into my computer, put my music onto it. Once id done all that I tried to play music. The ipod would say the music is playing, but no sound coming out, i tried multiple headphones and no sound. When im typing I can hear the clicks though? has anyone else had this problem?

Did that, could it possibly be becouse the ipod isnt up to date? Its version number is 1.1.5 (4B1) Im guessing this is like the iOS or something, and the latest iOS for 1st gen is 3.1.5 or something? Im just wondering if my itunes is up to date, but my ipod isnt, they could conflict?I cant figure out how to upgrade to the latest iOS I keep getting a dead link from apple.

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.

Unaccounted alert sound on 1st gen unibody Macbook Pro

Greetings all,
I am having a slight problem with my 1st gen unibody MacBook Pro. At seemingly random intervals it will play the 'Frog' sound without any user interaction.
I have checked the Console and have not seen any messages. I have also made sure that the sound is not coming from another application that might send a notification (iChat, Skype, RSS-reader, ...)
Is there a way to track what process launched the sound or has someone else experienced this issue as well and can give me some insight in how to get rid of it?
With regards

Could it be the Growl notification sound?
Email notification sound?
Check to see if you have any type of 3rd party sound apps installed.
Also check your alert settings.
System Preferences>Sound>Sound Effects.

IPod Touch 8GB 1st Gen squealing kind of sound problem.

I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch 8GB and recently it's been making a really bad squealing noise whenever a sound is emitted from the device and when I listen to music or watch Youtube the sound just crackles and dies and is overtaken by this squealing noise and then just yesterday the squealing died down and no sound comes out of it at all now.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? I hope the inbuilt speaker hasn't died for good cos I cannot afford to buy a new iPod at the moment.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
Ben.

Do headphone work OK?
Try the standard fixes and move to the next one if sill problems.
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: 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.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

Mono Sound Option on 1st Gen ipod Touch

Hi, Im deaf in one ear. I own a 1st gen ipod touch, Ive just updated to firmware 3.1 (paying £3) and there is no accessibility option in >settings > general. I do not want to import or convert my songs in/to mono, nor do i want to use an adapter or mono headphones- I just want to have the option to switch between mono and stereo on my ipod within >settings- please help- really this should not be difficult Mr. Jobs?!!
Many Thanks...

The mono audio accessibility feature only works on the 32 GB and 64 GB (late fall 2009) Touch models, and not the 1st generation Touch.

How do i get TV Shows that are on my Apple TV 1st gen to download to my computer?

For some reason I cannot figure out TV shows that are appear on the ATV 1st gen do not appear in the download list of iTunes on the computer I am trying to sync with.

If you can see an option to transfer purchased content then it sounds like it's set up properly.
Unfortunately a few people have had problems transferring purchased content and in quite a lot of cases the only solution has been to restore the Apple TV and report a problem through the purchase history to obtain credits for the lost content.
Before giving up though there are a couple of things you might try.
1. Pull ALL the cables from the Apple TV, wait a few moments and try again.
2. Disconnect and reconnect the library. (settings/computer/your library and then settings/computer/connect to iTunes) This will erase all synced content (which whilst time consuming, you will be able to sync back). It won't delete purchased content that hasn't been transferred to iTunes.

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.

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.

IPod Touch 1st Gen and 3.1 update DELETES volume slider

I had a perfectly working iPod Touch 1st Gen/16GB until I updated to 3.1 software. Now I do not have a volume slider.
Yes headphones are in but there is no place to adjust the volume. There is previous, next arrows and play and pause AND its centered in the rectangular area, but no volume slider.
I have restored it 3x in various ways. I have tried 5 times to downgrade the operating system but ALWAYS get an error, so it never completes. Of course the ipsw files where found using google because there isn't any links that work on Apple's site for previous iPhone software. If I try to restore to 3.1 right after that it goes through perfectly.
So it seems that Apple has locked out downgrading once you upgrade! All I want is my volume slider back. How can I get it back if 3.1 deletes it everytime and I can't go back to the previous operating system?
Thank you.

I too have had this exact same problem, except that I was running 3.0 and hadn't updated to 3.1. I put my ipod on the table overnight, after listening to it, and when I picked it up the next morning, theres no volume slider. I never even unplugged the headphones. Double clicking the home button while on the home screen would bring up the popup to skip songs, and there it says "Dock Connection" even though it not connected to a computer. Multiple reboots an no effect. I've tried different sets of headphones, to no effect. Its like the iPod isnt detecting them being plugged in. The worst part is i DO get sound in the headphones, but no volume control, and the sound level is turned really low. So the headphones ARE working.
I updated to 3.1 just now, and the problem has NOT been fixed. Theres no way anywhere in the settings to adjust the volume. Theres only a limit slider, so I have no way to turn up the volume loud enough to actually HEAR things.

Win7 Not Installing Drivers for 1st Gen Touch

Hello folks,
I've been trying to get my 1st Gen Touch up and running in the most recent version of iTunes, installed onto a dual-boot machine (32-bit Vista and Win7). In Vista, the Touch works perfectly. Flip over to Win7, and no dice. I can hear the chime sounding that a USB device has been plugged in and removed, but at no point does any drivers actually install, no info pop-up that new hardware detected, and no iPod listed in the USB devices of Device Manager.
I've tried following the directives of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852 to no effect; everything looks to be in order. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. The only, and I mean only, sign of life I've seen out of Win7 is the one time I managed to fluke my way into Recovery Mode on the Touch, at which point it was recognized as a generic iPod in Win7. I just didn't think that a recovery wipe and reinstall would be a necessary step to a normal installation.
Further, I've also tried running the iTunes program in compatibility mode for Vista, and with Admin privileges for Win7 mode, to no effect. Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm overlooking? I know the hardware works; this has to be software...
Thanks!

I got it working, though the steps I had to use were draconian in measure, and not what I would reasonably expect the average user to endure just to get their iPods working. Since the Touch was showing signs of life in Factory Restore mode, I let it do that once. Wiped all the data out of it, but errored on the reinstall. Curious, I thought. I had Device Manager up at the time, and saw a generic 'iPod' entry in Portable Devices.
Okay, fair enough... I restart the factory restore, wait for the generic 'iPod' entry. Right-click, Properties, 'Update Driver', search automatically. Suddenly, lo and behold, the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver shows up under USB Devices, and my Touch starts working as pretty as you please. I'm fortunate that I can go back into Vista to re-sync to get my music and apps back, but at least it's working now. Might I suggest seeing if there's a less Nuclear Option process for accomplishing the same goal?

My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?

Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes.

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

1st gen shuffle

Hi all,
Have ipod shuffle 1st gen 512. Bought new imac and had to restore my IPS for the computer. Problem, itunes recognizes my ipod says "ipod update complete ok to disconnect" but when I disconnect and put on my (or anyone else's headphones) on no sound comes out.. Please tell me there is a solution out there for this.... I have tried to restore it 3 times so far but no sound...
Also, the ipod shows on itunes but not on my imac desktop??? HELP ME PLEASE..

So you
A. Already can see that the Shuffle's Playlist in iTunes shows that it has some tracks loaded to it? (Playlist displayed, no strange icons beside the tracks, etc.)
B. Have already tried to Reset it? (OFF for 5 secs, then back ON)
C. Have confirmed that the LED status lights are otherwise OK, that it looks like it should be playing something? (Short duration GRN when PLAY/PAUSE is pressed)
D. That you've increased the volume, and seen the right status lights displayed when you do that? (Flash of GRN whever volume adjusted, until max limits are hit)
E. Are operating in Disk Mode? (If not, then your iPS will show in iTunes, but not on your Desktop, at all times when you're not updating)

Mini 1st Gen Harddrive in 2nd Gen mini

Hey there.. i have two ipod minis, one is a 1st gen and the other is a 2nd gen.
The 2nd gen's hard drive is giving me a wierd repetitive whirling sound and is displaying the sad ipod. However my first gen mini's harddrive is working fine.
So i carefully transferred the 1st gen's hd to the 2nd gen but then it didnt even notice it... it did the apple bootup then just reset without reading the hd. So then i put the hd back into the 1st gen and it worked fine :S.
The reason im wanting to use the 2nd gen mini is because the 1st gen's clickwheel "Play/Pause" button doesnt work.
Any suggestions? Should the 1st Gen Mini's hard drive work in the 2nd Gen Mini?

Are they the same capacity? I can look into it if you want.
