1st generation no stereo only 1 channel no case

ipod touch 1st generation no stereo unless the jack is wiggled only 1 channel gets audio i do not use a case

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R" or "L".
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. Likely not worth it for the 1G iPodThey do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more. Again, likely not worth it for the 1G

Can I use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation if I have a USB adaptor for my IPad

Hi there just wondering does anyone know if I can use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation 16gb (WiFi only) if I have a USB adaptor, will the IPad !st generation support a A Vodafone Dongle(Irish network)

You cannot plug a USB dongle into an iPad using the USB part of the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
The Camera Connection Kit is for connecting cameras - hence the name.
You'd need to get a MiFi device to use 3G data via WiFo on your iPad.

HT1784 In iTunes my Apple tv (1st Generation) only shows Summary and photos so I can no longer load a movie and sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced options now missing ?

I used my Apple tv (1st generation) to load films on iTunes and then sync to my Aplle tv. In iTunes I now can only see Summary and Photos and therefore lost the ability to load a film and then sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced this with ? Cannot find any options to resolve this.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

HT1143 1st Generation AppleTV no longer syncs only streams

I still use a 1st generation appleTV in my son's playroom. We also use it for travelling to places that does not have internet access, so it is imperitive that we have movies on the hard drive and not streaming. Within the last few months we have lost the ability to sync movies, music etc. It shows up in our iTunes but as streaming only without the ability to change anything within iTunes. There is a tab in Tunes that will allow us to "share" photos from iphoto, but no movies tab and no guage showing hard drive space used.
It must have something to do with the latest software update? Is my appleTV with 160gb hard drive incompatible now?
We have recently updated the appleTV software (up to date) and have the new iTunes 11.1 and are running OSX 10.8.5 on our computer.
I found a slight workaround that I can use, but is time consuming. On my appleTV, I search for the movie I want to "buy" in the itunes store (that I have already purchased), and it tells me that I have already purchased the movie and then proceeds to download it to the appleTV. BUT It is so much easier to just sync!
Any help would be appreciated. I have a hard time believing that apple would just remove software functionality / compatibility of the 1st gen appleTV, even though it is old.....

Thanks for the great tips.
I do have a question I hope you can answer. When I turned on "Sync" between my 1st Gen AppleTV I lose "Streaming". When I turn on "Streaming" I lose "Sync". Do you know if the AppleTV is only able to do one or the other and not both?
I did a search on Apple in this article:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Play items in your iTunes library using Apple TV (1st generation)
and I found the following note:
If your Apple TV (1st generation) is synced with an iTunes library, it’s already set up for streaming. (When Apple TV is synced, it appears in the Devices pop-up menu near the top of the iTunes window.)
From the note above, I would guess that the AppleTV can function with both Sync and Stream at the same time but I can't seam to get it to work like that.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Cisco router and purchased a 1st generation airport, would like to find outbid I could connect the AirPort Extreme wireless with a USB wireless, so I can connect to be able to put the airport in another room to beagle to have it close to stereo

Help setting up airport express. Wireless for streaming

Cisco Linksey EA4500 dual band,
Airport express model and serial # 0024369ca089. 6f9075pa2u6
Ipurchasedan airport it appears to be a 1st generation
What I am trying to accomplish is to have the airport close to my sound system so I can play the I tunes through my built in house stereo system,presently the modem and Cisco router are on a different floor

I have both a 1st generation AppleTV and 2nd Generation AppleTV, and my iTunes seems to only recognize one at a time - has anyone else had this problem - can you only use one at a time?

Is this a design flaw? Since the 1st Generation has a hard drive (140GB). If both are on, only the 1st Gen get recognized. I would think you could use both at the same time..... Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes iTunes should work with them all together. Do they have different names, are they on the same network, have you noticed any other problems.

1GB 1st Generation iPod Nano USB Device Not Recognized on any computer

I just recently received a free 1st generation 1GB iPod nano from a friend because they couldn't get it to work. I figured I'd take a crack at it and hopefully get a working, free iPod out of the deal...
It already had music loaded on it (mostly a bunch of garbage), so like anyone else in my position I proceeded to reformat the little sucker and wipe its slate clean.
Here is what happens when I try to connect the nano to ANY computer:
Here is how the nano shows up in device manager:
This was the original problem I was having with my desktop PC which is running Windows XP Home with SP2 and all the latest Windows updates. It is running iTunes 7.5.0.20, w/ latest iPod updater software version 1.2.3.
Prior to testing the 1st gen. 1GB iPod nano, I had been charging and syncing my 5th generation 60GB iPod classic on my desktop PC using the same exact cable. All of my USB ports are in working, functional condition and order. I even have “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” unchecked under USB Root Hub Properties.
I tried a couple different USB ports and I used another cable, no luck. So I moved on to my Fujitsu laptop running Windows Media Center Edition, all latest Windows updates, same version of iTunes and iPod software (the difference being that I DO NOT sync any iPods to it, nor do I have any music on it). SAME EXACT PROBLEM, same message bubble, same entry in device manager, and same lack of driver availability.
Thinking maybe it’s just a “PeeCee” thing I dug out my old PowerBook G4 running the ancient Mac OS 10.2. Keep in mind this thing only has a 400 MHz G4 processor, 512MB RAM, 30GB hardrive, and USB 1.1 ports. The iPod nano wouldn’t even give a hint that it existed when I plugged it in.
I have tried every single little Apple trick available. I’ve done the forced restart while connected and while not connected to the computer. I’ve done forced disk mode while connected and while not. I’ve run iTunes diagnostic tests on connected devices. I’ve messed with USB port settings. I’ve tried two different USB 2.0 iPod cables. I tested my dad’s 8GB 2nd generation iPod nano to see if it linked up with my desktop and my laptop IT DOES. I even tried my 60GB 5th gen iPod classic OVER AGAIN to see if it still worked, IT DOES.
Also, this 1st gen iPod nano will not charge when hooked to the computer through USB. When I plug it in, between the time it’s plugged in and when the “USB device recognized” bubble pops up the battery icon shows it is charging, but as soon as that bubble pops up it disappears and discontinues pretending to charge.
On my Fujitsu laptop, I uninstalled everything having to do with Apple. I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Software Update, everything. Restarting after it all of course. Then I installed the old iPod Software Updater from 6-28-2006. I was pretty sure this wouldn’t work because the iPod isn’t even recognized by the computer. In order for the iPod to work in the iPod Software Updater or iTunes it has to first be recognized at the basic Windows level. Which it isn’t…
I have done research all across the net and the only real answer I found was that the iPod Nano’s internal USB controller is dead. I’m 99% sure it has nothing to do with my laptop, desktop, USB cables, software, or drivers. What do you guys think?

Nope I have not figured anything out since I posted this. The closest answer I've found is that it's the internal USB controller which has gone bad. If that's the case than there is really nothing more I can do.
I did find one opening and that was the diagnostic screen. You get to it by holding down the Menu and Center buttons, as soon as the iPod resets hold down the Left and Center buttons, the iPod will beep and then it will go to a diagnostic screen. Maybe somewhere in there you can find the problem I don't know how to use it though.

1st generation time capsule painfully slow

I've been dealing with this issue for some time now. I've searched all over the internet for a solution, and I've yet to find anything that works. I'm hoping a Time Capsule expert may be able to help me sort this problem out.
I have a 1st generation, 1tb Time Capsule. I've had one since they first were released. Use already had one fail from the dreaded dead power supply issue that was affecting many 1st gens after reaching 18 months old. This one is less than a year old.
I have Verizon Fios with a blazingly fast Internet connection. When I plug directly in to my ISP's router via Ethernet, my connection is amazing. I realize that wifi connections are much slower than Ethernet, but what I've been dealing with lately is ridiculous.
I believe the problem lies with the Time Capsule. It's set to 801.11n, 5ghz only, maximum throughput (24mbps), WPA2 personal security, latest firmware. Wifi connections via the TC are great at first, but they seem to degrade as time goes by until I finally have to reboot the TC, then the speeds are back up to normal again for a while.
The problems also seem to arise whenever a computer is backing up to the TC. I understand that speeds might slow down while a backup is occurring, but I would expect that they would return to normal when the backup is complete. Unfortunately, the speeds often slow down so much that the backup never actually finishes, and often it comes up with an error saying that the disk is no longer available.
Trying to share a file between my macs is often impossible. Even a small file, say 5mb, can take minutes to transfer between to wifi-connected devices. Sometimes a TC reboot with fix this, other times it won't.
My setup is like this - Verizon router with wifi disabled, serving as the DHCP router for my entire internal network, connected via Ethernet to my Time Capsule and an Airport Express. The Time Capsule is set up in bridge mode and serves as the 802.11n wifi source for my newer wifi devices. The Airport Express is also set up in bridge mode and serves as the 802.11b/g wifi source for my older wifi devices.
Due to the nature of the Fios service, I can't have the Time Capsule set up as the DHCP distributer for the network. However, even when I didn't have Fios and the Time Capsule was set up as the dhcp distributor, I suffered from these slow connection issues.
Are the 1st generation TCs plagues with issues? Is it just time for me to get a new one?
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, you are experiencing one of the downsides to 5 GHz. That's because the higher frequency 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
After all, you always have to give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed but in return, you must give up penetration power and distance capability.
In order to work well, 5 GHz signals need to almost have a line-of-sight relationship between devices. Unless you can achieve this, you will do much better to leave the Time Capsule running at the 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4 GHz Radio Mode and allow the Express devices to "extend" that network.
As for the location of the AirPort Express devices in an exended network, that is critical for best performance. That's because the Express can only "extend" the quality and bandwidth of the signal that it receives. Post back if you need a few more tips on how to find the best location for the AirPort Express devices.
Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
Unfortunately, no.

HT1551 I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

I had same problem last night with a movie rental not showing up under the 'Rented' tab in iTunes/Movies on my iMac: as I had no other rentals, there was no 'Rented' tab at all.
In iTunes 11, the Downloads icon only appears next to the Search bar while there is an active download. Once any downloads are finished, the icon disappears. I had no icon so I had to assume the downloading had finished (in the previous UI you could check download progress even after they had finished).
My movie rental did, however, show up under 'Rented Movies' under the 'Movies' tab in iTunes/Devices/(select any i/device) so I knew it was somewhere in my iTunes. Yet, we couldn't access it via Apple TV.
I fiddle around for a bit, restarting iTunes, restarting the iMac, to no avail. Then I did a little housekeeping and moved a different movie I'd imported awhile ago, from the 'Home Videos' tab under iTunes/Movies. Under File/Get Info, the 'Media Kind' was incorrectly set to 'Home Video' so I changed it to 'Movie'. Thus the file was moved over into the Movies tab. Hey Presto! The Rented tab suddenly showed up, and there was my rented movie!
This is the second time a movie rental did not show up after downloading. Unfortunately my husband initiated the download so we figured he must've messed up somehow as he's not as familiar with iTunes as me. Hence we opted to download the movie under a different iTunes account, which worked the second time with no problem. Needless to say the invoice for the original download had no problem in finding us, hence we were effectively being charged twice for the same movie! We have to contact apple support (such a hassle) but hopefully they will understand the issue (that's the difficult bit) and they are usually good at refunding when they finally accept the customer is genuine in their claim.
In case anyone is tempted to critique my method, we download rentals through iTune on our computer as we had too many problems trying to rent via Apple TV. Often the movie was not available to watch for many hours after it was rented, even though we'd start 'download' halfway through the day and sit down at night to watch it! We have also had problems with movies that kept stopping during viewing because it wasn't streaming fast enough. We'd give some time and come back to viewing, only to encounter the same. One time we gave gave up and tried again the next evening, only to find the movie expired. There is meant to be 48 hours after you've started viewing to resume watching a movie. Apple's only response to this was to advise we needed a broadband internet connection to stream the movie - this was despite me already telling them we have broadband.
Anyway, I hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues with movie downloads.

Time to upgrade my 1st Generation Airport Extreme?

As the title says, thinking it's time to upgrade my 1st Generation Airport Extreme (Draft 'n') to the latest 5th generation model, just to be clear my existing Extreme is the current form factor white square design and not the very earlier dome version (although I did have one of those too once upon a time).
Here's my thinking/question, current Extreme has been a great trusty workhorse since new, reliable and generally rock solid performance, however a recent upgrade to a super fast 'Fibre To The Home' internet connection is making me think it's time for an upgrade to solve low speed/throughput issues with the current Extreme setup.
With my current iMac networked to the wall mounted Fibre (1000 Mbps ethernet) router via Cat 5e I'm getting amazing speeds on speedtest.net (i.e 760 Mbps down and 228 Mbps up), however when wirelessly connected to the Extreme with my iPhone 4S and MacBook (Black) I get the following speedtest.net results:
iPhone 4S: 17 Mbps down and 34 Mbps up
Macbook: 24 Mbps down and 63 Mbps up
(Interesting that the uploads seem to have better connection/throughput than the downloads, normally the opposite applies?)
I understand that the current Extreme is somewhat crippled as it features 100 Mbps Ethernet ports (latest models have 1000 Mbps), however the wireless speeds still seem way below what I would expect (i.e. nearer 100 Mbps), both the 4S and Macbook are within feet of the Extreme.
The Extreme is set to 'n' only 2.4 Ghz, bridge mode (letting the wall mounted Fibre router do all the routing/DHCP work) via Ethernet Cat5 from one of the 4 Ethernet ports on the wall mounted Fibre router to the Extreme WAN port, tried various channels, 1, 6 and 11. Current Firmware 7.6.1 on the extreme. I have also disabled the wireless connection/network on the Fibre router to avoid any possible interference with the Airport network.
So my main question is, should I look to upgrade to the latest Extreme model, will this improve the wireless speeds, based on my setup what wireless speeds could/should I expect with a new Extreme, or am I missing/overlooking something within the current setup?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks John, this certainly helped.
Speedtest.net results:
2.5 Ghz n: 19 Mbps down and 53 Mbps up
5.0 Ghz n: 28 Mbps down and 58 Mbps up
It also came to light that I wasn't using the best of the speedtest.net servers to do my testing, by accident I selected a different one (Newbury UK - Vodafone) to the one I had been using (Milton Keynes UK) and the Newbury server indicated download speeds of around 50 Mbps, which I feel much happier with.
Seriously considering a new Extreme for the simultaneous 'n' networks, 1000 Mbps ports and no doubt improved components, antenna etc.
Will report back if/when set up.
Thanks again.

Time capsule 1st generation loosing Internet connection

I have a time capsule 1st generation on my iMac. Since I updated to Lion, my time capsule started to flash orange every hour or so… it's extremely annoying and I really have NO idea what to do.
Here's some specs and configuration for my network
Firmware: 7.5.2 (75200.14)
Wireless Security: WAP2 Personal
Allow this network to be extended CHECKED
Channel: Automatic
Radio Mode: 802.11n only (2.4GHz) - I tried on 5GHz only and I had the same problem.
Multicast Rate: 6Mbps
WPA Group Key Timeout: 1 hour - I tried 1 day, 10 days, X months, doesn't matter, problem still here
Create a closed network - UNCHECKED - Because the mac mini keeps on "forgetting" the network and it ***** to remember such a long password so I decided not to hide it anymore
Since the time capsule is pretty close to my computer, I use an ethernet cable but everything else in the house is Wireless (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Mac Mini, apple tv, Macbook Pro and Macbook)

I found out that if you are already in airport when the problem starts, it doesn't update the message but the light gets amber and you loose connection for more or less 15 seconds.
I got this issue again this morning, opened up airport and got 2 messages... then it went back online as if nothing happened. It's doing this every single hour.
Since I can't plugg on wifi only since I ALSO get the "No Hardware Installed" message in wifi, I have to be plug with the ethernet cable
Am I the only one starting to REALLY hate Lion or what? None of this was happening on Snow Leopard...

1st generation iPod touch - Travel to Spain?

Can the iPod touch (1st generation) support 220 volts directly, using an adapter, or will it need a converter before it can be plugged into a wall outlet to charge?
Thank you in advance to all you apple world travelers!

The iPod does not use 220 volts! Do not try to plug it into a 220 volt supply.
iPods are charged via a USB connection, which is 5 volts. Whether your adaptor can handle 220 volts is a different matter and depends on where the charger was purchased.
Apple chargers are usually multi-voltage; in other words, the charger can accept 220 volts or 110/115 volts in and in both cases it will supply 5 volts out (for the iPod). Check the label on the charger, it should state whether it is 110-220v, or 110 volts only. I'm assuming that you're from a region that uses 110/115 volts.
If your charger can accept 220 volts, you will still need a (mechanical) convertor plug, since outlets in Spain are almost certain to be different to your region. A convertor plug will enable you to plug your charger into it and have pins at the other side that fit into a Spanish outlet. In other words, it will change the mechanical fitting, but not the voltage.
Again, depending where you are, outlets such as Radio Shack may sell these convertors. Possibly, the airports may have them.

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...
Newaygo1

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.
