1st generation Ipod, wi-fi setting gray,no wi-fi

In settings, my Wi-Fi icon is gray, and in General-about, the Wi-Fi address is N/A. So I can not enter a
address.

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
It is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Where is my 1st generation ipod nano replacement?

I sent in two 1st generation ipod nanos that qualified for the replacement program. I received one two weeks after I sent both in, through fedex. I'm still waiting for the second one, and it's been 3 months already. The website said it takes up to 6 weeks. I haven't received any emails or messages relate to this problem. Fedex received both ipods and I still have the receipt to prove it. What's going on?

I called apple and tried to find out what happened. Turns out everything was going smoothly until it reached their end. I tracked it with fedex and it said it was delivered to a city in california. The guy I was talking to said apple would get back to me in a couple of days, because they, "have to set up an investigation". It's been a week and 3 days. I'm a big apple fan, but this whole situation is really disappointing.

1st generation ipod won't play music

I have a first generation iPod that I have never really used before, but would like to use now.
I downloaded iTunes 11 to see if it will work. iTunes recognizes the device and allows me to set certain options.
It also has several times said that it has synced with it.
But nothing will play on the iPod, i.e. no sound will come out.
Also, there does not seem to be anyway to show what songs are on the iPod, only what is in the iTunes library.
I have restored it to factory defaults with no difference.
Any suggestions?
Does iTunes 11 work with 1st generation iPod.

This is the 1st gen iPod shuffle, that looks like a white USB flash drive, with a built-in USB plug? FYI - This document shows the four shuffle models
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
If it's a 1st (or 2nd) gen shuffle, select it in iTunes. Toward the top of the iTunes window, there are two buttons that say Settings AND On This iPod. The Settings screen is probably what you already used, "to set certain options." Click on On This iPod. This screen shows a list of songs that are currently on the shuffle, and you can use this screen to remove songs from the shuffle (and change song order), once you have songs on it.
At the bottom of this screen, there are Autofill controls. That is one way to load the shuffle. You can "automatically fill" the shuffle from your iTunes music library, or from a playlist.
To add individual songs, drag songs from your iTunes library and drop them on the shuffle. The easiest way to do this is to use the iTunes sidebar (along left side of iTunes window). If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. Find the shuffle in the sidebar, under the heading DEVICES. From your iTunes library, drag songs (or other audio items) and drop them on the shuffle.

1st generation IPOD Replacement waiting on shipping container never arrived???

Back on Nov 13th I contact Apple to get my 1st Generation IPOD Nano replaced because there is a Recall on same. I provide all the required information and I was informed online that Apple would be sending me a packaging and instructions on how to return it. And there was a time limited that I would get this within 2 days it has been over 10 now and I have nothing yet. And there is no simple way to Contact them but to call them and now that it suggested I only have "10 Days" to return it I am wondering why there is limited time and after supplying Apple with all the required info including serial number I get an email the following day suggesting that it might cost me a fee just for them to check the IPOD to see if it is included in this Replacement / Recall. And because I have songs on it I had to copy them in case they do replace otherwise I would lose those I all ready purchased. And have not had the opportunity to call them they need a means to email them to contact them about this because I have gone through their support and there is no simple way to get info all I get is the automated telling me my service etc is expired but how if I never got the pack and shipping info to have the ability to return it?
Apperas no me they are putting a time limit to make sure they don't have to do anything because waiting on Apple is not what I thought I would be doing I bought an apple because of the "Name" but now I am truly getting Disappointed with this matter and Apple... Not what I expected from Apple...

1st Generation iPod Touch Question

I just got an email from a 1st Generation iPod Touch user who said that my program (Gear Ratio) wouldn't load on his device. I don't actually know how to tell if it should or shouldn't load and run. Is there somewhere in the documentation, or perhaps some kind of simulator setting that I haven't found that allows me to test for iPod Touch?
I checked "iPhone and 2nd Gen iPod Touch" in the iTunes Connect portal, but I guess it isn't clear to me why the program wouldn't work on a 1st gen touch. It doens't use hardly any of the capabilities of iPhone, and certainly not anything specific (like GPS or the phone.) It just takes a few numbers and calculates a result.
Is there a way to test against individual hardware versions without having an actual, physical, version of the hardware?

Hello! Not a problem, because you will get a Ipod Nano 1st generation as a replacement, not a new / latest generation.

1st generation ipod won't download music

My firend just bought a 1st generation ipod and was only able to download a couple songs. He asked me if I could try and download some of my music on it cause I have a 20GB ipod of my own that works perfectly fine. But when I plug it in it just sits there and wont respond while I watch the little spinning circle so then I cant use my mouse. I already had to shutdown my computer to get my itunes to start working again. I dont know what to do with it...help!

Trying to upgrade my 1st generation ipod

I have reinstalled the new version of itunes as the support tech said and my purchase did not show up in my ipod. Therefore, I am getting a flashing green and amber light! My ipod was set up on another computer and I used the same account. I am being charged for purchases that did not effectively download to my ipod. I need help!!! Can you successfully upgrade a 1st generation ipod to play with this new version safely. My sync does not show any music purchased and will not play.
Do I need another battery or a new ipod? I have spent a lot of time on this and am getting nowhere. Help!!!

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.
Try on another computer

1st Generation iPod (5GB) not working with new iMac

Hi,
i have the Problem, that my 1st generation iPod is not detected by my new imac (20'' 2,4 Ghz). When i plug in the firewire cable, nothing happens. DiscUtility sees no disc at all.
But when i plug in the iPod "behind" another Firewire disc (acting as a fw-hub), the iPod ist detected within a second, and everything works fine.
I just wanted to know if someone else is having this Problem, or if someone else has a working iPod 1.Gen on the new iMac.
Thanks
Joerg

Hi JvdL,
I am one with a 1st gen iPod (Windows, 10GB).
But I have no problems with it and I also don't have a last gen. iMac.
However, in the iPod Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=151 and in the iTunes Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149&start=0#threads there are quite some threads with similar problems.
Sorry

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.

Why wont my 1st generation ipod let me download some apps?

Please help!

1st generation ipod touch, 16GB

You can't. The 1G iPod can only go as far as iOS 3.1.3. There are not that many apps that are now compatible with the 1G.
