1st Generation Touch and iOS4
Some of us just don't have the money to throw away on a whim due to Apples idea that this iPod is now 'obsolete'. What ever happened to 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'??? In this recession some of us don't have the luxury of the 'disposable product culture'.
My 1st Gen runs well on 3.1.3... perfect condition... does all I want with memory to spare... will there be a 'fix' in the future for us Touch users that doesn't require constant upgrading and adding debt to credit cards? (hands up if you save money for your new model!)
My main concern is : Does this mean the next lot of Apps; and originals when upgraded, will only run on iOS4 and beyond then?
I've sworn by (sometimes literally!) Apple since 1988, but now I think making money is sacrificing even hard core devotees due to a flush of popularity. Bubbles can burst.

If it works, why do you need a fix?

As time goes on, more and more apps will only work on current software, just like more and more apps won't work on Windows 98 or Mac OS Tiger. That doesn't mean that your Touch won't still work. You may need to pay more attention to updating your apps to be sure that you don't update to a version that doesn't work on your Touch. However, your device will still play music, connect to the Internet, and all the other things it did before iOS 4 was released.

1st generation Touch. Apple still stock these for battery replacements?
I am aware that apple replaces the entire device for poor battery life for a service charge $79. Does this still apple for a 1st generation Touch? I have a 16GB Nano, but the battery only last a few hours.
Does Apple still keep these in stock?No way. $59 is too cheap. You need to buy it for more. You can sell your device here:http://www.gazelle.com/
And you can buy a new one (2nd gen) here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001FA1NZK/ref=dp_olp_refurbished?ie=UTF8 &condition=refurbished

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 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.

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 Touch- System Restore from Recovery Mode
My iPod Touch 1st Generation worked fine one day and the next day all it would do is disply the little white "Apple" and then go black. It was fully powered. I opened my Itunes account and connected the iPod. Nothing. Then I saw on a previous discussion board to hold the power and home button at the same time while hook to my computer. A graphic of the usb cord and Itunes appeared, and the Itunes account recognized the device but said it was in "Recovery Mode" and in order to have it work again I would need to allow for a system restore. So I did. It seemed to go through the process and then tried to re-sync. It has now been "syncing" for over an hour. It is stuck. I can not do anything, even if I disconnect the iPod from the computer. I have no idea what to do, I am super frusterated. My iTunes account seems to be locked and have not made any progress with the iPod of getting past any other graphic other grapic besides the usb/iTunes picture. Please help if possible.
Also, since it is a 1st generation, I recently upgrade the OS to the only allow upgade however, I am not sure which one it was. This is the first problem I have had with my iPod. Apologize for the lack of specifics.
Thanks much in advance.Close iTunes and disconnect the iPod from the computer. Reboot the computer. Then try to restore again.
- Try as necessary:
- A reset.
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.
- Placing the iPod in
Recovery mode
- Placing the iPod in DFU mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Both those modes require that you turn the iPod fully off. If you can't do that let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset.and restore again.
- If still not successful time for an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -

I have a 1st generation iPod touch. Will the Apple earphone/mic/remote work with my 1st generation iPod?
Conal Ho,
Yes and no my friend, they will work for listening to audio. However the mic and remote won't work. If you go to the compatibility parts on the following links you will see such:

Voltage for charging 1st generation Touch?
I have a 1st generation iPod Touch, 16gb. I have a car charger/transmitter I bought off eBay, which plugs straight into the m-bus plug of my Alpine head unit, and then I had to wire it into power. Lately when I plug my iPod in, it will work fine for a while. Then the screen flickers, it shuts off, and either stays off or reboots. Sometimes it'll be fine after happening once, and sometimes it'll happen over and over. I found out the voltage of the car charger is 12v. Is this too much for the 1st gen? I'm not sure if the 1st gen is supposed to have 12v or 5v. If it's the correct amount, what's happening? Thanks.

Okay, so if I buy the 12v output to 5v output converter, it should stop surging/crashing my iPod? Just making sure before I buy it.
This is the adapter, by the way:

I can't answer that question as I have no idea what you currently have. Sorry! -
IPod Touch 16GB 1st Generation - touch screen area stopped working
Hello there, the last 2 days I'm experiencing a problem with my 16GB 1st Generation iPod Touch. One cm under the top of the touch screen and for about 10mm height, the screen is not functioning. I noticed this when I was on the AppStore and tried to buy an app. Exactly at the "Buy" button and on full width the multitouch screen doesn't work at all (touch/scroll/zoom etc.). I use OS 3.0 and I've installed it from my PC with the latest iTunes. I use the latest OS since it's release day and only yesterday the problem appeared.
The iPod is protected with silicon case since day 1, also has a screen protector and it's never dropped, scratched or anything that could cause this problem. I believe the problem/bug/dysfunction it's software related, even tho, I've restored the iPod erasing all it's data to the factory settings with the last OS, the problem remains.
Do you suggest me to downgrade back in version 2.0 and see what happens? Do I have to to downgrade to version 1.0? Please advise cause here in Greece the service doesn't exist as in the rest European countries and as in the rest of the world who has official Applestores.
I use both Mac and PC with my iPod Touch, so you can suggest solutions for both platforms. (Leopard/Vista)
I'm waiting for a response as soon as possible, thanks in advance and please advise me as an experienced user
The iPod Touch is bought from US and brought here in Greece on January 2008. It's the iPod with the January Update in case you're wondering.
Thanks for your time,
Vangelis Makridakis.Seems that the problem isn't software related.
I've downgraded to 2.2.1 from 3.0 and nothing happen.
I can't buy apps from AppStore, I can't join a WiFi network and much more...
Apple made *faulty digitizers* (touch screens) cause as I've searched on the internet, many others have the same problem. Since it's out of warranty, Apple is covered... BUT customers should know that even if they don't drop their device or if they protect them, no matter what, one day they won't be able to touch some random areas of their screens.
As a customer _I demand answer_ and also a replacement program for faulty digitizers since will be confirmed that the customer never dropped or scratched the faulty device.
Also, since in Greece (where I live) we don't have Apple official representation as the rest of the European countries, I probably will have to pay A LOT to Rainbow S.A for a digitizer replacement and also to wait about a MONTH to get my device back.
Thank you Apple for making perfect products with the chance becoming lemons instead of apples.

1st generation iPhone and Early Termination Fee
Hello all, here's a question, since it was announced that AT&T will no longer share revenue with Apple does this now mean that owners of the unsubsidized 1st generation iphone will be able to get out of their 2 year contracts early without a Early Termination Fee?
More than likely, yes.
The first generation iPhone was not subsidized in the traditional way, as the iPhone 3G will be subsidized.
at&t did not provide a subsidy or a discount to you on the sales price of the first generation iPhone.
I became an at&t subscriber 3-4 months prior to the iPhone being available. I selected a phone that was subsidized by at&t agreeing to a new two year contract. I activated my iPhone as an existing subscriber agreeing to a new two year contract on my iPhone's activation date. I was not charged an early contract termination fee or any penalty when doing so, and I still have my original phone that was subsidized by at&t which I've used with my iPhone's SIM card on occasion.
The same should apply when purchasing the iPhone 3G, which will require agreeing to a new two year contract beginning on the activation date for the 3G iPhone with no early contract termination fee penalty for the existing iPhone - which was not subsidized in the traditional way as the iPhone 3G will be subsidized.
