1st generation nano problems....help greatly appreciated!!

i have a first generation nano, and i plugged it in to my computer last night and it said something about needed to scan for problems...then it popped up my F drive saying that i needed to insert something into the F drive....
i have tried three different cords to hook up my iPod to my pc...I tried another usb port...so i am assuming that it is either my computer, the iTunes or the iPod...regardless of what it is, my iPod wont update. and when it says it is updating it's not.
i am running a much older version of iTunes, the one that came on the cd with the first gens...i think 7.2..cant remember, and i have a Vista OS. could THAT be what causing issues? i usedto have it hooked up to an XP and it worked fine, then when I changed it over to the Vista pc, everything went to pot.
Does ANYONE know what to do?? I would appreciate any help, i really dont want to have to buy a new iPod if at all possible...

This forum is for 3rd generation nano problems, not 1st.

  • Hi, back ups to my TC suddenly won't work saying there's a problem with network username/password.  Any help greatly appreciated!

    I've deselected the disc, reselected it & re-entered the password 3 times now with no luck.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    It sounds like you have much more issues than simply the TC..
    I can suggest or have suggested the workaround to the TC problem.
    Did you try it??
    What happened if you did?
    Did you simply try the standard old reboot the TC.. ie yank out the power cord. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
    That magically fixes lots of network issues.
    Mavericks has some major issues.. do you upgrade install.
    Let me strongly recommend a clean install.. if you haven't done it. Your issues with safari look like a corrupted install to me.. but I am not an eggs spurt in OS issues.. by any long stretch of the imagination.. post the issue over in the Mavericks area.
    But as an old computer support man.. (old should be emphasised) upgrade installation are anethma.. I have never seen them work 100% and that includes with Mac. Of course you cannot expect windows to work.. but things go wrong in every OS.. no matter how wonderful.
    Make sure you have a good TM backup .. clean install and migrate your documents back.. maybe reinstall software from scratch. Not easy but the only way.

    I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

    What version of iTunes are you using?  The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

  • Why has my ipad mini stopped connecting with my iPhone 4S? I used to use it to download books, or transfer emails to my ipad mini. It was fine 3 days ago, now I get a message saying " cannot join with iPhone" Any help greatly appreciated.

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • 1st generation nano replacement program

    ok i got the email for 1st generation nano replacement program, submitted my nano serial number and they said within 2 days i would get a box, well its been over a week now and still no box, has anyone had the same problem, or did i miss a step somewhere?

    I thought that it said two days too, but if you re read the e mail it says that it will be returned to Appple in 2 business days. The return label is underneath of the original, There are perforations the top that you need to tear off to get to the label underneath and keep the top one as a reciept.
    I wasn't sure about the plastic bag either, so I just put the nano in it then in the foam hole in the box.
    The clear sticky is about 6 pieces of tape to seal the box with. Be careful pulling it apart you can think you have just one piece but it is really like three pieces. I sent mine off today and have been wondering what they are replacing them with.

    You aren't required to do so. You can choose not to use the speaker dock or you can return the Nano.

  • 1st Generation Nano Crashes Leopard

    Basically what the subject says. My 1st generation nano works fine with my older iBook running Panther, but when I connect it to my MacBook, my computer crashes.
    It is using software version 1.3.1 and have reset it from the iBook. My iPhone syncs fine.
    Ideas?

  • Is there a way to erase all content from a 1st generation nano without connecting to my pc?

    Is there a way to erase all content on a 1st generation nano without connecting to my pc?

    No, you need to connect it to a computer running iTunes to manage the iPod's content (or erase it).

  • I'm trying to transfer data (docs, emails) from G4 iMac running os 10.3.9 to brand new iMac on 10.8.1  I'm stuck, any help greatly appreciated.  (Ethernet or wifi networking are both options if I can figure out how to get the machines to communicate.)

    I have the old machine backed up onto an external firewire disk but can't hook that up to the new imac as I'm waiting for delivery of a firewire 400/800 adaptor - therefore starting the old machine up as a slave is also subject to the same delay.
    I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
    I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
    All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
    Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
    At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine.  By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
    Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.
    - or use Migration Assistant but in my experience, Migration Assistant isn't very reliable and fails to migrate large amounts of stuff.

  • Just got photoshop CC but can't get 3D to work. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Just got photoshop CC but can't get 3D to work. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Do you have a video card with at least 512 MB of vRAM?
    I only have 256 MB vRAM on my older iMac and still have 3D capability in PS CS5, but not in PS CC. The newer versions of PS require 512 MB in order to enable 3D.

    They're supposed to send you a box with shipping instructions which you then use to send them your 1st generation iPod, however, I've been waiting a month for my box and can't figure out why I have not received it

  • 1st Generation iPod problem - folder icon/exclamation!

    Any help would be appreciated. I have a 1st generation iPod and it has worked fine since 2002. The battery seems fine and have had no problems with it until yesterday. When I connected my iPod via firewire to my Mac, iTunes wouldn't recognize it. Then, I tried to reconnect the firewire cord and still nothing. So I went with the 5 "R's" . I tried to reset it, then that's when it started. The apple icon came on and then the folder icon + !. I then went through all 5 "R's" and it never did reset or restore or anything. Any combination of buttons I push on it, I get the apple icon for a couple of seconds and then the folder icon + ! and then it goes blank. I can't put it in disk mode or anything. It does the same thing every time. I don't think it's the battery b/c it was charged and the charge time was still very good. anyone with any history on this may be able to help! THANK YOU!

    I'm not sure about not sync'ing properly, but plug in your earphones and your volume bar should re-appear.
    Maybe if you give more info on what's happening when you try to sync, someone will be able to offer more assistance.
