1st Gen to 2.0 issue

I have had an iPhone for just under 1 year and it has worked great. I went from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 when it was released with no issues. About 1-2 months ago it started locking up on me with out warning. It will work for 2-3 days and then just lock after a phone call ends or I will take it out to use it and I have the spinning circle or its just off and cannot be turned on. I have powered it off and then try to turn it on in the morning and nothing but the Apple logo with a spinning circle. I have to hold the power and home button till it shuts off. Then its a game of chance if it will actually boot back or sit at the Apple logo. After a few tries it will come up to where its useable, but for how long is sparatic. Typically I have to restore it.
So I was reading up and found that 2.0 pretty much wipes everything and lays down all new (I cannot confirm that but it seems to be true from all the things I have been reading elsewhere) Being a 12 year Cisco/Microsoft Engineer, I figured lets see if it is software and not hardware since I do not want to disect this thing and void a warranty. So I did the upgrade. Worked great. And it had worked great for about 2 weeks. I installed a few free apps, in the beginning and was pleased. Now in the past day or so (No new apps installed just before hand), I am back to where I was. The lock ups, the need to hard cycle it, etc. Again, it will work for a few days and then suddenly act up. Then after a bunch of cycles, perhaps a restore, its fine for average use. I have even downgraded my iTunes and gone back to 1.1.4 only to still have the problem and then come back to 2.0 again.
My time is limited to take it to a store for a tech to look at, which I intend to do at some point here cause its pointless to need to worry when I am on call if my phone is even available. I need something reliable. Also where I live, the closest "Apple store" to see an Apple Genius is about 1.5 hours away.
and seems hardware. I hate asking for help but sometimes you got to ask the experts, so I am here. Any advice or is there anything else that I may be able to do or is it a case for a service visit?
Thank you for your time
Regards.

If it's just under a year since you bought the phone, I'd take the time to have it looked at. at first it sounds like a software issue but having it return after update, seems to indicate something a little deeper. If it's under warrantee, take it to be checked out.

Ive got a 1st gen apple TV wifi issues help please.

Ive got a 1st gen apple TV, had it about 4 years and I cannot get it work over wifi for the past 2 years. If its wired with network cable it works.If using wifi I either get no movies on appletv or sometimes it syncs and lists all my movies in Itunes but when I try and play any movies it says video format not recignized. Ive disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Apple TV. Navigated to Settings > General > Network. Click Configure Wireless.Selecte my wireless network and entered password then done. see "Connecting to wireless network" screen appears then "Connection Succeeded" I see IP address, Wi-Fi Address, and signal strength is strong all bars. Any ideas as to What the heck is wrong with this AppleTV.

Doesn't sound good if you've restore to factory from the diagnostics menus and are seeing this.
Have you unplugged from the main for a few mins and restarted. Disconnect any ethernet cables if you have them.

1st Gen Apple TV Sync issues.

Hello,
I had my atv syncing with my mac over wifi. Suddenly it stopped, i have made no changes other than usual system updates. My mac is connected via ethernet and airport. If I go into my system setting on the mac and disable the ethernet port the ATV will sync over wifi, however if i leave both connections open on my mac, the atv wont appear. I never had this problem before. Any idea's ??
Thanks.

Did you update to the new iOS for ATV? I would recommend try leaving one of the connections off...... either ethernet or WiFi as there isn't any reason to have both to your apple TV.. I just upgraded to ATV@. It will not recognize connection if both ethernet and WiFi are simultaneously connected under ATV iOS 4.1 I had not difficulties syncing my 1st Gen ATV via WiFi or internet use. Hope this helps......... I think you actually solved your own problem if I understood it.

1st Gen iMac Power Supply Issue

I just got my iMac G5 back from Apple after having the power supply and logic board replaced for the second time in two years.
It is apparently a fairly common problem with the first generation iMac G5s. I've basically been told it's a problem with no real solution and that they'll fix it for free (for the first three years). It's great that I'm within the three years, but if it happens again after October, I'm likely going to have to foot the bill to get it repaired.
Does anyone have any more detailed info on this issue (other than Apple's Repair Extension doc)? Would turning off the computer each night prolong the life of those parts? Would turning it on/off everyday reduce the life of those parts?
Any thoughts/comments?
Thnx...CN

Just to add to BB's comments, I doubt that leaving the computer on will have any benefit at all for you in terms of longevity. If you have problems with faulty capacitors , and the like, in fact it will probably make the issue worse rather than better (though I doubt this will be a problem for you if your logic board was replaced after about April 2005). Doing so will probably also add a little extra wear to the bearings of your HD (unless you have it set to spin down when not needed) , and will cost you a little more (but not a whole lot - though when we all leave them running the environmental costs continue to mount) in electricity over time.
You should probably also shut down every so often anyway - maybe once a week or so, to help clear some potential memory issues that can persist with some applications even under OSX, and you should certainly shut down at and start up again at any time when you notice slowdowns, program "hangs" or other problems.

HT1498 (1st Gen) Apple TV Rental issues:

Last 2 rentals I have purchased through my 1st generation Apple TV have appeared to download fine, however when I go to play all it shows is a white screen with no sound. Has anyone else experienced this. Were you able to come up with a solution? Thank You.

Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router or de/re authorising your iTunes library.

1st gen Black MacBook - airport issues

I have a June 2006 Black MacBook that I recently upgraded to 10.5.6. Since then, I have had very poor airport connectivity. Where I once had excellent WiFi, I now have none. What the heck is going on?? I often must sit adjacent to the signal source in order to connect...even 10 feet of merely air space will cause my WiFi to fail. What's the point!

HI,
Your Airport preference files might be corrupted as a result of the upgrade to 10.5.6.
Try deleting this file. com.apple.airport.airportutility.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your MacBook. See if that makes a difference in the signal, of not...
Are you using an Airport Extreme Base Station? Airport Express? If so, try resettting.

Has the recent Itunes upgrade caused incompatibility issue with APPLE TV 1st gen?

after recent upgrade to itunes, itunes no longer recognizes data on my apple tv 1st gen....but the Apple TV still has them loaded. additonally this new itunes does not let me resync new songs or movies, etc. thoughts? thanks!

I'm having the exact same issue. Nothing in the "Music" menu except "My Music". I Noticed it this afternoon when I woke my Apple TV from standby. The disappearance, in my case, was not related to a reset. My Apple TV has not been reset since the power went out here several weeks ago. Though I obviously don't know for sure, I'm guessing that it's some kind of store problem and we most likely won't be able to correct it from our end.

1st Gen Ipod Nano - Shuffle Songs Issue

Everyday I take my 1st gen ipod nano with me for a walk and just select shuffle songs. My walk takes about an hour, but my nano in shuffle mode seems to play alot of the same songs over and over everyday in shuffle mode. I have almost 800 songs on the nano. Is there someway of getting my nano to shuffle up the songs a little better so that I'm not hearing the same songs over and over?

I am having the exact same issue with my iPod, 5th generation. I would like to know if there is a way to change the setup so it will shuffle it better.

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!

Are there compatibility issues with 1st gen I pad and new wireless printers?

Need to replace HP printer being used with 1st Gen I Pad. Are there any compatibility issues with new wireless printers?

Has anyone called about the 1st Gen Update issue?

I was just wondering if anyone has actually called Apple about the 3.1.3 Update issue with the 1st gen iTouches. I don't want to waste my time and call when they might just respond with "there's no current solution". My iPod has been bricked on that screen with the "plug in the USB cord" symbol for a few days. Help!

My wife had the same problem with 1st gen 32gb Touch. She uses a pc based laptop with Vista OS. Couldn't get past the Apple logo even when trying to reset. I plugged into my Mac tonight, and for the heck of it, reset the iPod using the on/off button and home screen button. It now would appear in my iTunes and allowed me to reset. It is starting from scratch again (as she doesn't appreciate my play list), but at least it is fully operational again.
Have seen where others state they can't restore. May be able to using a Mac. Food for thoughts anyway. Hope this helps.

Mini 1st Gen has Severe Issues After Update

Following the recent update, my Mini 1st Gen began showing various small issues. Last night, it randomly quit, and went to the lock screen, but the screen image was magnified hugely, 10x, and I was unable to maneuver into the password area. I attempted numerous hard resets, just getting the same unresponsive huge lock screen, and I was unable to completely shut the Mini off and restart. Eventually, it reverted back to normal spontaneously. Again tonight, it randomly went to the huge lock screen, same story, it seems as if it won't magically revert at this point though, rendering it unusable, at a time that I really need to use it. I'm beyond frustrated between the issues it was exhibiting: very slow loading, spotty internet connectivity, switching pages or areas without prompt, poor touchscreen response, randomly making words in messages all caps, or spacing them oddly, highlighting rather than performing the action when pressing webpage keys like 'Enter'....that's the start. I was frustrated then, but to have a completely unresponsive device now is infuriating me, as I see this is a universal issue.
I'm not sure what to do now, short of a complete reset from a laptop, which, despite saving to the cloud faithfully, will make me even more upset. We have faithfully owned and used Apple products...I still have the 1st Touch, and 1st IPad, plus numerous phones and other ipads along the way. So, not only are our devices rendered all but obsolete at an almost yearly basis, making their lifespan as the best, fully functional unit, with all available utilities at service, 1-3 years at BEST, forcing either an upgrade or resignation to the fact that your 8 month old device is no longer the newest available...so we have to deal with that. Then, there's the forced limited memory issue, which makes saving things to anything other than 'clouds' or expanding space not an option. Ok. Now, we have to deal with these incessant space gobbling IOS updates and mini updates to fix the last update which was supposed to fix glitches from the last update, yet manage to make our devices perform even worse, if, now, they bother working at all. To fix this issue, completely unrelated to consumer use-one must completely scrub their device and re-install months or years of info (if you are good and backed-ed it up!). This boggles my mind. Once or twice after initial IOS tests? Ok, I get that. But at this point, installing updates is like inviting a Pandora's Box to be opened, with no clue of the effect it will have, good or bad..,although it's getting worse and worse. All this with nary a comment, even a sympathetic nod from Apple. Certainly no reimbursement for the countless losses of time, money, apps, information, work or school...life interruptions. Just a new version every year and an open hand for payment. It's truly disheartening for loyal customers & consumers as a whole.

Double-tap the screen with three fingers to turn off Zoom. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and turn this Off.
Also make sure that none of the items in Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut are checked.

Ipod touch 1st gen MAJOR issues HELP!

My hubby dropped his 16gb ipod touch 1st gen on the floor. It landed face down. It was working fine until the battery ran out and since then it will not hold a charge. I reset it last night and it finally charged over night (plugged into the wall) it said it was fully charged this morning but after it was unplugged it was working fine except the internet would not work. It would not connect to our wireless internet. (I have an 8gig second gen that works dandy no issues so i know its not my internet.) He had his ipod on for 20 minutes it got broiling hot and the battery was back at being almost dead. We shut it off let it cool down and then we've had it plugged in all day ( it's plugged in my computer now) and just keeps saying its got 10 minutes remaining on the battery. I restored it twice through itunes and updated it and it still will not charge but will stay on if its plugged in the computer or the wall saying its charging... also the internet still will not work. it will for a few seconds pick up my wireless but with only one bar but will not let me try to connect to it. It tells me it can't connect. Then, the signal comepletely disappears again. It won't find any wireless at all. I even went upstairs and sat in front of the modem lol. I've tried everythihng known to man and am out of ideas. Is the thing screwed? Someone please help....

Sounds like something came loose or exposed. From what i read, it looks like your battery is losing it's charge quickly. My advice would be to take it in to a local apple store and see if they can fix it or run a diagnostic. Unfortunately, if i had to guess i'd say there's a hardware problem since your battery is dying so fast and is having charging problems. Good luck.

Issues with 4th gen ipod touch that I did not have with 1st gen

Got the 4th gen touch, and right away the most annoying thing was the pause in my music when locking/unlocking the ipod. It is a small pause, but nevertheless my 1st gen touch never had this. Is this an issue with all newer ipods or just me?
The battery is also funky, as it will run down to 3% and then the ipod turns off. Plugging in the ipod to charge turns it back on in a few minutes, as expected, but it always shows 40-42% charged when the unlock screen shows up. Do ipods quick charge to 40% from empty in 10 minutes or so?
Are these things fixable by Apple, and would I lose the engraving on the back?
The pause has been with me since I first started using the ipod. The battery issue possibly also, but I recently noticed it. A full reset, without restoring the 1st gens settings did not improve anything.

I can answer a few of these. I don't know about the pause. The battery doesn't surprise me. The new apple devices are infamous for having battery life issues. I don't think there is anything apple can do but if you take it in, you can choose to keep or give up your engraving. Keeping it will extend the repair time by a week or two.

My 1st gen ipod touch has N/A in the WI-FI option can anyone tell me how to solve this issue please.

My 1st gen ipod touch has N/A in the option menu for wireless, can anyone help solve this issue please???

iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
