1st generation iPod Touch

Hi guys..
I'm having problems by adding apps to my 1st generation iPod Touch, because all of the games are for newer versions of iPod Touch...
Can I upgrade it somehow? Or is it neccesary to buy a newer generation of iPod Touch and just throw the other one out?
Please let me now what to do?

1st Generation iPod Touch No Longer Recognized by Windows 7 PC

I have a 1st generation iPod Touch (no camera) that can no longer connect to my Windows 7 pc. Plugging in the iPod via USB does not trigger any sort of dialog box in Windows and it doesn't trigger a message saying a device has been connected; the iPod does not show up in either iTunes, Computer, Device Manager or Devices and Printers, either as an Apple mobile device or an unrecognized device, and does not charge when connected to USB (though the wall-charger still works). As far as my computer is concerned this iPod does not exist. I had successfully synced this iPod as recently as one week ago and am ready to pitch the thing in the garbage if I can't find a solution.
I have the latest version of iTunes as well as the most up-to-date Windows updates. I have already followed all the steps listed here (iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows) multiple times with no success.
I also have tried following the instructions listed here (Re: For those Windows users who suddenly cannot see their device in iTunes. Here's a solution that has worked.) but this also hasn't worked since the iPod isn't recognized in the Device Manager and I am not given the option of updating the drivers, manually or otherwise.
I have uninstalled/re-installed iTunes and all related Apple services multiple times. The Apple Mobile Device Service is functioning normally. iTunes diagnostics indicate that there is no device connected no matter what I do. I have reinstalled my Windows USB drivers and changed the settings on the USB Root Hub in the Windows Device Manager to disable power saving options.
I have tried connecting the device to another PC which detects and syncs another apple device (iPhone 5) with no issues, and had the exact same result: the computer doesn't even recognize an iPod is connected.
I can't update the Apple Mobile Device Drivers because the device is not recognized by my machine in any way.
I even completely reset my iPod and that just left me with a unactivated iPod that still isn't detected.
I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style advice that people seem to offer on this forum. If anybody has dealt with this issue and has any serious advice other than "re-install iTunes," it would be much appreciated.

You said "I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style"
- Did you try another cable?
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

1st Generation Ipod touch keeps crashing/going into stand by mode 3.1.3

I have a 1st generation ipod touch that I recently restored to the newest firmware 3.1.3. My problem is that after this restore and subsequent restore attempts is that the device keeps clicking off to a black screen when I use wifi or transition from different desktop screens. The device does not completely crash as once the screen goes black I can hit the home button an slide to unlock. I have found that if I disable wifi this problem does not occur. I have tried to both reset and restore with no success. Any suggestions or ideas?

If a restore did not help, I'm afraid you have a hardware issue there.

1st Generation Ipod Touch 32GB

I have a 32gb 1st generation Ipod Touch. It was a gift purchased at the Navy Exchange(military store). The sound has gone out. I can no longer hear any music. Is it worth trading in for a new
one at bestbuy? Or can the sound be fixed.
Everytime I place new headphones theres no sound.

1st generation ipod touch Software issue

I have a 1st generation ipod touch (software version 3.13). When I attempt to update the software, it says that the software is up to date. Can I manually force an update or is there something else I can do?

Nope. 3.1.3 is the highest possible for a 1st gen.

1st Generation iPod Touch & Smart Playlists

My 1st Generation iPod Touch will not sync my Smart Playlists. After syncing, the Playlists appear under my iPod touch in the iTunes 11 sidebar. On my iPod Touch all songs/tracks for the playlists load into the iPod's library and can be accessed. Playlist names however either do not appear on the iPod or the ones that do appear may be empty. I've used these same Playlists for many years and have only recently started seeing this. I have done a full restore of my iPod Touch, the OS software is up to date and I've tried creating new Playlists with the same results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Why isn't the new iOS4 update compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch

It makes me extremely angry that i have wanted what the new update contains ever since i got my ipod and now I can't have it because whoever made the update didn't make it compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch. Ig someone could give me a good reason as to why this happened that would be much appreciated.

Doesn't have the needed hardware in particular not enough RAM.

Ios 3.1.1 will not download for the 1st generation ipod touch

Why won't ios 3.1.1 download for the 1st generation ipod touch? It will start and then a second later stop.

Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps? You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
Next would be to restore from backup
Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

How do you get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch

How do I get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch?

By updating the iOS on the iPOd. The 1G can go as high as 3.1.3. That works with a lot of apps. But some apps require a higher iOS and/or newer iPod.

There is no trade in program.
You can sell to to someone.
Apple has a recycling program where they will give you 10% off of a new ipod if your bring in your old one.
