1st Generation Shuffle and iTunes

I have a 1st generation shuffle with the original itunes software loaded up on a windows PC. My roomate has a second generation shuffle with itunes 7.6.
Will my 1st generation shuffle operate using itunes 7.6 or should we have two separate versions of itunes on our computer?
Also, my 1st generation shuffle uses some USB-based headphones. At what point in the software saga will they stop working? Does anyone know?

The original shuffle will work fine with any version of iTunes that came after it was introduced, including the current version 8.1.1.
Also, my 1st generation shuffle uses some USB-based headphones.
What product is that? iTunes is always being updated, but the software on the 1st gen shuffle will probably not get updated anymore at this point. Each new version of iTunes will just install the same internal iPod software if you do a Restore. Therefore, any peripheral that works now will probably keep working.

  • 1st generation shuffle lights blinking

    I have a 1st generation shuffle and it worked fine until I uploaded the lastest version of itunes and now it won't work. Lights flash and when I try to restore it to factory settings I get an error message 1418.
    I tried to do the online chat, but was refused support because I was outside of the 90 day purchase window. I think as long as new versions of software are added to use the itunes service, products to play the service should be supported, at least to identify the problem so you know if your product is bad, software setup is troublsome, or your having a user error!
    thanks!

    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.

  • I have a 2nd generation shuffle and want to use it for my grandson.  On connecting to iTunes it wants to download everything I have on iTunes automatically and I do not know how to get it to manual upload

    I have a 2nd generation shuffle and want to use it for my grandson.  On connecting to my PC it asks the question ". do you want to delete everything on the shuffle and replace with that on your iTunes".  I do not want to do this I want to start again and manually add items.  How do I get it to do this please

    A 2G Shuffle can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. So if you are trying to connect and use the Shuffle with a new computer/iTunes library, you'll need tor restore it before you can begin syncing or manualy adding content to it from the new library.
    So go ahead and restore the iPod and then configure it for manual management.  See this article for more details on configuring the shuffle for manual management.

  • I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete songs (Delete in gray)?

    I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete music from either one. If I select a song, "Delete" is gray in the menu and cannot be selected. What's happened? New iTunes not compatible?

    In order to manually remove music from the iPod via iTunes, you need to have the Manually manage music and videos option checked from under each iPod's Summary tab.
    See this article for more details.

  • HT4341 I will be traveling to The Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg in May. I want to take my MacBook Pro, 1st generation iPad and iPhone 4G. Is there one charger that I can take for all devices, as opposed to taking three different chargers?

    I live in the US, and I will be traveling to The Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg in May. I will be taking my MacBook Pro, 1st generation iPad and iPhone 4G. Is there a universal charger that I can use with all three devices, as opposed to taking three seperate chargers?

    I obviously have three different chargers, I guess my question is, can I use just one of those chargers for all three devices, and if so, which one of the three, or does it matter? And if I can in fact use just one of the three, then why would I need all three in the US? Also, if one of the three will work on all devices, would the automotive charger work the same, one for all? Thank you for your reply.

  • I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging ) the green battery light is on - soon after it turns orange and then red. Is there a problem with the battery and is it fixable?

    I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging) the green battery light is on it soon turns orange and red. Is there a problem with the battery and if so is it fixable?

    If it's a 2nd gen shuffle, it is probably about six years old at this point.  The cause is likely to be a worn out battery that is no longer able to hold its charge for very long.
    It is technically fixable.  This web site has repair guides
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle
    But it is very small, so you need to be good at doing such things.  The cost to have a repair shop do the work is likely to be uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50), which has more features (and possibly double the storage) plus a one-year warranty.

  • Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
    Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
    IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

  • Ipod 1st generation shuffle isn't recognized by iTunes

    Plugged my 1st generation iPod shuffle into the USB port and it isn't showing up in iTunes.
    I have read through all the Troubleshooting steps and nothing seems to be working.
    When I go to Eject Hardware though, it shows Eject Ipod, so I know my Dell PC (Windows 8) is seeing the shuffle.
    Odd.
    I'll take any help anyone has!
    Thanks.

    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    When connected, the shuffle should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  It does not appear there?
    If it does not, as a test, shut down (power off) your computer.  Disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If your PC is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it is not running on battery power).  Do this to reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.  Any difference when the shuffle is the only USB device connected?

  • 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.

  • Can't sync 1st generation nano with iTunes 11

    The upgrade to iTunes 11 happened today without my consent, and now I'm finding that when I plug in my 1st gen nano to be synced, I can't find the device anywhere in iTunes and the iPod never stops syncing. Is there a fix?
    I love my 1st generation iPod nanos, and Apple doesn't offer anything with its form factor anymore (small, light, controls you can use without looking). Also 3rd gen and later nanos don't work with accessories that I depend on for my car and home (they won't charge). I recently bought my second 1st gen from Amazon (used). If my iPods stop working, I'll probably ditch iTunes and iPods altogether and switch to some other device/library/purchase ecosystem.

    Honestly, I probably would, except Apple doesn't make an iPod like the one I have anymore. The new nanos have touch screens, and when I asked at the Apple Store whether it's possible to work them without looking (like in the car), they told me that I should go on-line and buy an older, refurbished iPod nano. Which I did, just a couple months ago. And now it doesn't seem to work with iTunes anymore. (And then there's also the fact that I won't be able to play a new nano in my car, but that's a longer story.)
    This is the price of buying into a closed ecosystem with few device choices, and this may be the last straw for me. Apple may think it's being smart by making money off unnecessary upgrades, or maybe in the cost/benefit analysis they decide it's not worth making their new software backward-compatible with their own devices. But I was a good Apple and iTunes customer, and if I manage to find an alternative to iTunes/iPod, they won't get me back.
    Heck, if I can't find an alternative, maybe I'll do a start-up and build one.
