1st generation or 2nd generation

I bought my iTouch today. Obviously I haven't received it yet. I was looking to buy a case for it. Most say it's for either 1st generation or 2nd generation iTouch. How do you know what generation your iTouch is? I wasn't given an option when I purchased it so how do I know??
Thanks

I bought it directly online from the Apple store. I haven't received it yet so I can't tell the what the packaging is. Apparently it shipped from China. I had no idea that is where it came from.

  • Which is better the 1st g or 2nd generation ipod touch

    I like to know which is better and last longer and wont have much issues
    A. 1st g ipod touch
    or
    B. 2nd genertion ipof touch
    I like to know I dont know which one I want, and I like to hear it from a person who know what there talking about and who knows alot about ipod touch
    reply back real soon
    I need to know

    Hello,
    It really depends on your own wants/needs. When the price of the refurbished touch dropped down to $199, I went ahead and purchased it, and so far, I don't regret it or want the 2nd generation (which I have seen and played with).
    The main differences with the 2nd generation include a built-in Nike+ receiver (Nike+ is pretty much an iPod-integrated pedometer that works with just the Nano so far), external volume controls, and an internal speaker for "casual listening" (meaning that it doesn't really have that great of volume/audio quality, but the headphones are just as good as any other iPod).
    I don't think at this stage we can determine which will have a longer, overall life expectancy. After all, the 2nd generations have only been around since the 9th of this month, and the 1st generations are roughly a year old at this point. Not really a fair comparison.
    Regarding issues you might experience... several users on this forum have reported Wi Fi issues with the 2nd generation, but, keep in mind that this is generally a support forum, so most of what you see on here will be issues looking for resolution. I haven't had any issues with the 1st generation that I haven't been able to solve by a simple reset.
    Hope this is helpful

  • Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation

    Is it normal that Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation? I want to play music synced in my ATV 1st gen. to a nymber of speakers in the house. In the list of speakers I can see Apple TV itself and my two Airport Expresses 1st generation but not my Apple TV 2nd generation or my Airport express 2nd generation. For the ATV 2nd gen. I found a solution: when I enable the Airplay setting of XBMC which is installed on my ATV 2nd generation, then AirTunes in ATV 1st gen. sees the speaker "XBMS (Apple-TV)". Itunes can in my Macbook pro can use Airplay with all my speakers, i.e. ATV 1st gen., ATV 2nd gen., Airport Express 1st gen., Airport Express 2nd gen.

    Last time I checked ATV1 could not use Airtunes to send audio to an AppleTV 2 or 3 - highly annoying as you think they would have kept backwards compatibiility for audio, but it seems Airplay is more than a superset of Airtunes.

  • Difference between Ipod mini 1st Generation & 2nd Generation?

    Wondering the difference between a 1st generation and 2nd generation ipod mini? If you had a choice which would you pick and why? thanks for your help!

    Hi harpo,
    see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300850 for a full description and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688#ipodmini for an illustration of visual differences.
    As well as the differences already mentioned, they came with different accesories (the original model came with a FW charger and FW cable as well as the usb cable) . The original model can also be used with earlier versions of OSX than the later one.
    Cheers

  • IPhone: 1st generation vs. 2nd generation

    Are there any significant difference between the 1st generation and 2nd generation iPod touch? Just wondering.

    Yes.
    1. Internal speaker, so you can hear without headphones.
    2. Physical volume buttons.
    3. Support for microphone, which will work with Apple's new [In-Ear Headphones|http://www.apple.com/ipod/inearheadphones>
    4. Comes with software version 2.1.1
    5. Contoured shape like the iPhone 2g.
    Regards.

    What is the range of an Airport Express 2nd generation? The range is better than the 1st generation?

    150 feet in clear space with no obstructions in the signal path.  It is not possible to predict range with any obstructions in the signal path.

  • 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.

  • Lost remote for Apple Tv 1st generation.

    Hi,
         I've lost my remote for my 1st generation Apple TV and can no longer navigate through the menus.  Can the 1st generation remotes still be purchased. If so where??!  If not can a different remote work to navigate through the menus of a 1st generation Apple TV.  I've tried a 2nd generation remote and it did not navigate through the menus but did make the light on the 1st generation Apple TV come on when I tried to push the buttons.  I've downloaded remote apps. on my iPhone, but without the remote for the 1st generation Apple TV I was not apple to navigate through the Apple TV menus to sync up the iPhone remote app.  Any assistance would be helpful.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Actually you can use the remote app to control the first generation Apple TV, but you'd need the supplied remote to set it up.
    You don't need the first generation remote, the remote for the second generation model will control either model.
    So assuming you still have your remote for your second generation Apple TV you could configure the first generation Apple TV with it to work with the remote app on the iPad and not need to buy a new remote at all. But if you do buy a new remote, the one sold in the store will be just fine.

  • IPod Touch 1st Generation Replacement

    If I have a first generation iPod Touch still under applecare warranty, and I exchange it for a new one, (odds are they wont fix my stuck pixel) will i get another iPod Touch First Gen, or will it be upgraded to the 2nd Generation?
    Thanks, Kevin

    This is a question you would have to direct towards Apple, but I am almost positive they would replace it with another 1st generation.

  • Ipod touch 1st generation won't play on ihome doc

    I have a 1st generation ipod touch, 32GB.  I received an iHome for Christmas last year that states it is compatible with the 1st generation ipod touch however when I put it in the cradle, it connects and disconnects over and over.  I looked and iTunes stated that there were no updates available for my ipod.  I thought the iHome was defective so I exchanged it for another one and it does the same thing.  The iHome does play with the 2nd generation iPod Nano so I don't think it is an issue with the iHome.  Anyone else have this problem and know how to remedy it?

    - What iOS is on the iPod?  The latest is 3.1.3 and yu get that here not via the iTunes update button.
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    - Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults.

  • IPad (4th generation) no longer connects to 1st generation time capsule

    Hi all.
    I am stumped. I have a 1st generation 500 MB Time Capsule to which I can successfully attach wirelessly an iPhone 4, iPhone 5, 2 MacBook Pros, a 2nd generation iPad and until recently a 4th generation iPad. I note recently because all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, I can no longer connect the iPad 4th gen. Literally one day I was connected and the next no longer. My network is hidden, WPA2 protected and MAC address controlled. When I try to connect, I get "unable to join network".
    The iPad 4th gen has no problem connecting to any other WiFi network, including a current generation Time Capsule.
    TC firmware is up to date. iPad iOS up to date.
    What I have done so far:
    Unplugged Time Capsule and after a few minutes plugged it in again. I reset the WiFi connections on the iPad via general settings. I also changed the network from hidden to not hiden and removed the password protection. When that didn't work, I reset the password and hid the network.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks!!!

    Change both the name of the wireless network and the password
    Make sure that the name of the network adheres to the following guidelines
    No more than 20 characters in the name....shorter is better
    Use only letters and numbers in the name....no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, etc
    No blank spaces in the name
    Same rules for the password
    Avoid the hidden network setting if possible, as it will not keep anyone that really wants to see your network from doing so, and it does make it more difficult for some devices to connect
    If the iPad still will not connect, you have an iPad problem. You may need to completely restore the operating system on the iPad, or better yet, get a new iPad if it can be exchanged.
    The experts over at the Ipad Support Community might have a few more tips for you. We are not iOS experts here.

  • 1st Generation ipod & itrip ?

    Can anybody confirm to me that the itrip works ok with the 1st generation ipod? I am thinking of buying one ... any other issues that people have had with the itrip would be worth knowing about.

    I had an iTrip (1st gen) with my 4th gen iPod. I gave the itrip away after a few tries cuz the sound bandwith is so limited that it modified the music too much for my own taste. Perhaps the 2nd gen. iTrip is better, I don't know.
    My uncle, on the other hand, bought the cassette deck adaptor and is quite pleased with it. That was not an option for me since I don't have a cassette deck on my car.
    So I had Volvo install the new iPod adapter in my car, and now I have fabulous sound all over the car. And 2.5 days' worth of music too!

  • 1st Generation iPod Updating to 2.2 (Speakers)

    One question before i upgrade. Will I get the speaker feature that the second generation has??

    Um, no your 1st Generation Touch only has a transducer and software can't create a hardware speaker. You have to buy a 2nd Generation to have one with a speaker installed.
