1st generation problem

I have a first generation ipod that's just dead. Will not charge, does not register when connected to desktop. Is there any way to retrieve the music library?
All connections are correct and function with another ipod.
thanks in advance for any help!

Please post in the iPod Discussions pages.
This has nothing to do with QuickTime.

  • Ipod Touch 16gb 1st Generation Problems

    Hello I bought my Ipod Toch 1st Generation June 6th 2008. I am having problems with my Ipod Touch, at first after about 2 weeks of owning it dust started to build up under the screen, I did not think much of this but after I really looked at how much dust was under the screen. If that is not bad enough just last week I noticed 3 dead pixels on the screen. I tried the pixel frozen test and did not fix, and this morning when I truned on my Ipod I noticed that I no longer have three pixels gone but now a whole chunk of the screen gone to "dead" pixels. I was just wondering if I could send it into Apple for them to fix it or if there was a way for me to fix it my self.
    Cheers, Eric

    Unless you bought the Apple Care Protection plan your out of warranty. If you have that give them a call or visit your local store and they should be able to accommodate you.

  • Ipod Touch 1st Generation Power On Problem?

    I own a 1st generation ipod touch which l cannot access. I was updating an app then my ipod froze which led to a full power-off. I turned the ipod back on. The apple logo will come up after holding the power on button, but my ipod touch was turning off after a few seconds once the apple logo is on the screen. I have tried holding the home button and power button for an ipod reboot sadly this still had no positive effect with the ipod touch problem. I also attempt to reset my ipod, but because it remains on for about 15 seconds and shut back down my computer will not completely finish recognizing my ipod. IS THERE A WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM & MY IPOD?

    Mikalatte--
    I'd at least take it in to be looked at--exams are free, if I am not mistaken.
    I don't think it's a software issue...though you could try a reset and a synch.

  • My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet?  What could be the problem?  How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

    That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
    See deadtimecapsule.org
    The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
    But it is well and truly time to replace.

  • 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.

  • HT1998 I have what I believe, though I am not certain, an Airport Extreme 1st generation. My internet speeds on my hardwired pc are running in half and a bit higher on my Mac Pro. Cable claims it is a problem with the router since I can bring the PC speed

    Bear with me please as I have never used the community before. I have an Airport Extreme 1st generation at least I think it is a 1st generation. My PC is hardwired and my Mac Pro, obviously wireless. I have 50/8 mbps service but the speeds on my PC run around 20/8 and 30/8 on the Mac. Cable says it is a problem with the airport since my PC speeds rise to 50 when the airport is disconnected. Does anyone know what to do?

    The simplest way would be to perform a "soft" reset on the AEBS. This type of reset will temporarily disable all of the AEBS's passwords up to five minutes. This should give you ample time to access the AEBS with the AirPort Utility to change it.
    If you don't want to actually change the password, then you can possibly retrieve the password from the OS X Keychain, as follows:
    Run the Keychain Access utility found in \Applications\Utilities
    In the category column (on the left side of the utilities' window), select "All Items."
    In the right column look for your Network Name. It will have a "Kind" of "AirPort network password."
    Double-click on your network name listing.
    Click on "Show password."
    Enter your Mac's administrator's password
    Your wireless network's password should now be displayed.

  • I bought a movie on my 1st generation apple tv and it isn't automatically transferring to my computer so I can watch anywhere. Anyone have this problem? Is there a solution?

    I bought a movie on my 1st generation apple tv and it isn't automatically transferring to my computer so I can watch anywhere. Anyone have this problem? Is there a solution?

    AppleTV1 can sync with 1 iTunes library - the top one listed in Settings>Computers.
    Other libraries are 'shared' or streaming only, and appear under the top entry.
    You basically need to remove the current iTunes library from AppleTV - select it and remove it - then adfd it again as the to 'sync' compuetr entry.
    NOTE - changing the sync liubrary wipes AppleTV of data though apparently it does not delete items not yet reverse synced to iTunes.  If it buggers up contact iTunes store support.

  • Airport Express 1st Generation base station not showing up using new Linksys E1500 router.  Compatibility problem?

    Airport Utility cannot find base station.  The AirPort Status Icon is showing on my iMac's menu bar, but when I click on it I do not see an AirPort option in the list --- only the various networks that are within range and the options to Create or Join a network.  I have a 1st generation Airport Express (Moded A1264) and recently installed a new router, Linksys E1500.  Could the router be the problem?  Another computer in the house had to be set up on the router using Cisco Connect on my husband's Window's 7 computer.  This was also necessary for our Wii console.  When I try to use Cisco Connect to see if it needs to recognize the AirPort device, it gives me certain wireless settings necessary to connect the device (Network Name (SSID), Security key and Security Type (WPA2 or WAP).    looked on the site but didn't see an option for setting up Airport Express.  I also upgraded from Snow Leopard OS to Lion shortly before adding the new router.  I use the Airport Express to play our Tune music on powered speakers in our kitchen and did not think to see if it was operating between the time I upgraded the operating system and the time I installed a new router.  I have two different versions of AirPort Utility on the computer  6.0 and 5.6.  Any suggestions?

    Just spoke with Cisco about the router.  They said the router is compatible with the E1500.  They suggested that I contact Apple to see if their default IP address was that same as the router (192.168.1.1).  They told me I would have to change it if that was the case.  How would I do that?

  • 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.

  • Because of a PC problem I have lost all my music from iTunes Library.  All my music is still on my Nano (1st generation).  How can I safely transfer my music into my library, I don't want to risk losing it.

    Because of a PC problem, I have lost the entire contents of my iTunes Library.  I still have all my music on my Nano (1st generation).  Is there a way of safely transferring my music from my Nano into iTunes Library.  I would hate to lose it all.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is based on you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • 1st generation ATV internet radio problem

    I have the 1st generation Apple TV and I love it except for one problem.  Sometimes when I'm playing the internet radio it just stops and I have to unplug the device and re-start it.  I'm curious if anyone is having this problem with the Apple TV 2?  There aren't going to be anymore software updates to the 1st generation ATV but if the ATV2 works okay I might consider switching.
    Thanks!!!

  • Problems syncing 64GB iPad 2 to MacBook Air 1st Generation

    Before I had an iPad, I used a MacBook Air for portable applications and travel. I never kept much on my MacBook Air (just word files, and the occasional song or photo). I had an old iMac for home use, and to sync with my little mini-iPod for the gym. (The iMac has a huge photo archive and gym music; the MacBook Air has some old precious family photos, some recent trip photos, and a more car-friendly, thoughtful collection of music. It also now has back-up from all my iPad 2 applications, books, movies, iTunes classes, and music)
    Since May, I have been backing up my iPad 2 64GB to my 1st Gen MacBook Air, and loading more photos and songs on my iPad and my Air. Silly me...I clearly wasn't planning ahead...since there are only 72GB of memory on the 1st Generation Airs. So, of course, now the iPad 2 has 36GB or so of data on it, and the MacBook Air has run out of room. I can no longer sync, and all the apps on the Air are running slow!
    I tried moving all media files off the Air to a 1TB external storage device, but that's unruly. When I try to sync, I get difficult questions about whether I want to "replace all files on the iPad 2"? And even if I were brave enough to say "yes", with so many files on an external device, the MacBook Air no longer feels portable.
    I'm open to buying new hardware (say, a MacMini, or--after taking some months for saving money, a new laptop or desktop). Or combining iTunes profiles and photos somehow between my iMac and Air, and then syncing to the iMac instead of the Air, and letting the Air become once again a relatively empty portable laptop. Or will the iCloud solve all my problems?
    I'm looking for suggestions and solutions....

    I had the same beeping problem, using an apple cable plugged directly into one of my iMac's USB ports.  Worse, at one point in trying to eliminate my iPad Air beeping, iTunes would not recognize my iPad as a device.  After trying various remidies I saw posted, I elimited the beeping and was able to sync with my iMac by doing the folowing:
    1.  Restart both my iMac and iPad, with them disconnected, and an apple connection cable in one of the iMac's USB ports (not in a USB hub).
    2.  Open iTunes on the iMac
    3.  Eject every device that iTunes identifies, even though they are not connected (for me, two iphones and my wife's iPad).  After uyou eject the last device, the "x devices" button will disappear.
    4.  Connect the iPad Air to the iMac via the Apple cable.  I heard a single beep, and iTunes found my iPad in about 5 seconds.
    5.  I was then able to sync/backup my iPad to the iMac.
    Hope this works for others.

  • Apple TV 1st Generation Video problems/questions

    I have synced a number of movies to my Apple TV (1st generation) but can't figure out how to watch them from the ATV-1 hard drive rather than wirelessly from iTunes - also I cannot watch them wirelessly from iTunes because the video freezes and it takes a rest to get APT running again.  Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Video that is synced to the Apple TV won't look any different to video that is streamed, it will all appear in the same menu's, however anything that is synced will play from the hard drive, you don't need to do anything special to make it do so.
    If you are having trouble with wifi you may have interference.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • Have a 1st generation Apple TV, which is not showing as a device in iTunes. Had no problems with Apple TV until I changed from a Windows PC to an iMac. I have changed my IP address, sub mask address and router address in the Apple TV, Can anyone help?

    I have a 1st generation apple TV, which was working perfectly until I changed from a Windows PC to a Imac. The Apple TV will not show in Itunes. I have changed the IP address, sub mask  and Router IP address. Since changing I have switched everything of and on again. Can anyone help?

    I have a new router and computer. I have just remembered that just before my old PC died on me, I transferred my iTunes library to a hard drive. I can't remember exactly just how I got my library back, but there are definately things in my library now that were in my library on my old PC! Hope this makes sense. What do you mean by same location? Do you mean in the same place in the house?
    Another difference I have just thought of was my old router was connected directly to the computer bu I have not been able to do this with Sky as my PC is not near a phone socket! Will this make a difference?
