2.0 Software Problems (1st Gen)

So I have a 1st gen iPhone with the 2.0 update on it. I wanted to write some issues that I have been having and was wondering if people were having the same problems:
1. When I receive a text, I hear the sound but no text populates. I sometimes have to wait for another text for that previous text to populate
2. When I want to respond to a text or write a text, sometimes the keyboard does not show up and I have to shut off my phone and turn it back on.
3. If you add an additional global keyboard it toggles automatically sometimes and you cannot properly switch it back to English. I speak English, Greek and Japanese and gets frustrating when I can't switch properly from English<-->Japanese.
4. I load up Safari and it immediately crashes sometimes.
5. When I am listening to music on my iPhone and I receive a call, the audio skips as it fades now where as it never did that before. I also have less music on it than I did before.
6. clickign the SMS button takes like 5 or 6 seconds for the program to load.
Anyone else having any of these problems? I've never once dropped this phone and it was working perfectly before 2.0 with maybe a Safari crash once in a while.

Yup, not excactly all those specific problems. But the sms app does load much slower, keyboard lags when typing, sometimes even when there is full signal it gets an error trying to send the message.
Overall performance is not very good, in fact I would say it is quite poor now. Programs hang, crash, and are slow to boot up. Sometimes my sounds when unlocking/putting to sleep just randomly stop working, then randomly come back. I even took off all the apps I had gotten, restored it and just went with default apps. Same stuff, poor performance, its the 2.0 software. Very dissappointed, hope there is an update soon. Unless anyone knows how to go back to 1.1.4. 2.0 is bringing back bad memories of windows modile right now.
Note - something is wrong with apple's forums too, I'm getting all kinds of errors and it is lagging horribly.

  • Apple customer support problem 1st gen Time Capsule

    Not sure there is any real point to this since Apple doesnt seem to really engage in these forums.  However, I recently had a 1st gen. Time Capsule die per the well-documented power supply failure problem.  After some prodding I was able to get Apple to replace the unit though it was a handful of days out of the replacement window.
    Unfortunately the Apple  "genius" did not include my full business address on the shipping label and the unit has been in Fed-Ex limbo for nearly a week.  I have of course since provided Fed-Ex with the full address of my company office.  However, they will not revise the shipment info without Apple's authorization. I have left 4 voicemails for the Apple "genius" requesting they update my address so the unit can be delivered.  So far nothing, nada, zip... I'm glad my own staff are merely engineers, not geniuses.
    To add massive insult to injury, today I received a reminder email from Apple that they have a $500 hold on my credit card and have not received the defective unit back.   Really? no sh*t!  I've not received the replacement unit or return label due to Apple's negligence...hello...welcome to automated email ****.  Of course, there is no reply address ANYWHERE to be found on Apple's website.
    So, I'm sitting here with a dead network, $500 balloons on my credit card and no way to correct the delivery address on the replacement TC.
    Hey Apple, ***? 
    This is not the Apple I know and love.  If I wanted Dell quality service I'd have saved the money and bought a Dell.  I hope this is not the start of a long slow slide back into the Apple of the 1990s.

    Agreed that an outright trainwreck such as this is atypical.  However, I am noticing an overall steady decline in customer service at the local Apple stores as well.  The "geniuses" at the Pleasanton Apple store are downright rude and unhelpful.  That is why I even bothered with phone support this time. 
    I think the phone support attitude is what started me off on the wrong foot.  This unit has a well documented power supply defect for which Apple issued a TSB and even reimbursed people who had to replace the unit due to the power supply failure.  When mine failed, I was actually told by the front line genius - "well, it lasted 2 years, that's pretty good".   That is a Dell/Gateway/Compaq/General Motors attitude.   A $500 router should last more than 2 years.  Cisco enterprise level routers last forever.  Several years ago the white iMacs had a power supply problem.  Mine failed 4 years after purchase and Apple cheerfully fixed it without question or issue.  They had it back to me in less than a week.
    My expectations for support are commensurate with the price of Apple's products.  It is a luxury high-end brand. For perspective: This router costs more than a complete Gateway desktop computer system. 
    When you buy a BMW you expect a certain level of service, When you buy a GM expectations are lowered along with the price of entry. I don't expect to ever have to chase down keystone cop problems like this.  My time is far too valuable for that.  This is why I buy Apple computers and not Gateway computers.
    Is it typical? maybe not.  Is it foreshadowing what is to come now that the company is back in the hands of the bean counters that nearly ran it into the ground last time?   Maybe.

  • Podcast Playlist Problems - 1st gen Shuffle

    First off, I'm a casual user of iTunes & Shuffle - almost solely for podcasts and couldn't figure out how to make a playlist stick on the iPod; it would revert to file order, not playlist order. Couldn't reorder in the Library>Podcasts folder. Autofill wouldn't work. After much searching, and blundering about including restoring the Shuffle, I've made some progress.
    1. I understand that you cannot arbitrarily re-order the Library>Podcasts folder.
    2. For Autofill to work, all selected Podcasts must have the option 'Skip when shuffling' unchecked; updated podcasts seem to have this checked automatically so you have to redo the option after an update but you can do so globally for all items in Library>Podcasts or in a Playlist. Doing it in one seems to change that property for all lists.
    3. My problem with the playlist order being preserved in iPod seems to have been cured by the radical surgery of rebuilding the Library.
    a)For my initial test, I simply relocated iTunes Library.itl to a safe folder; on the next start, iTunes built a new itl file and, of course, the library was empty. I subscribed to a few podcasts and was able to build dumb and 'Smart' playlists with which I could Autofill.
    b)For my next test, I replaced the new library file with the original, exported the library to a XML file in a safe place, closed iTunes, relocated the itl file again and started afresh. Then imported the previously exported XML file which brought back all my playlists, etc, but the podcasts had re-subscribe buttons. This seemed to work fine until I subscribed to and downloaded another podcast. I then lost the ability to re-order in the Smart Playlist and the iPod playlist. Somehow I got it back; not sure if it was that 'Skip when shuffling' option again or it was because I did a global change of genre from Podcast to News & Political - maybe that diddled the file favorably.
    4. I'm not sure how to preserve my playlist order through podcast updates - my order not being one that matches a sort field. These are periodic podcasts (daily, weekly). If I set the subscription to auto-delete, the item disappears from my dumb playlists and drops to the bottom of the smart playlist when the podcast is updated. I'm not sure what happens if subscriptions are set to 'Do not auto delete' except that there is a growing sublist of prior items in the Library>Podcasts list and the Playlists still point to the one that was most recent when it was added to the Playlist. How do you keep a playlist sync'd to the latest podcast. I think the problem is that each regular podcast is a 'song' entity belonging to a common album, the name of the show. Each 'song' entity or podcast bears a unique id that the playlists use to point to it. What I want is for the playlist to point to the album and have only the latest 'song' playable. Any hints as to what I might do?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    It looks improbable that an arbitrarily ordered playlist of podcasts can be automatically maintained in order through successive podcast updates. I've adopted the following procedure to manually maintain the order with a minimum (I hope) of steps. I'd welcome any suggestions for improvement.
    I subscribe to podcasts that are updated hourly, twice daily, daily, and weekly. But I only do an iTunes update infrequently and rarely get to listen to the playlist on the Shuffle - maybe on a long drive or while painting a room.
    Build Playlist
    1. In Library>Podcasts I delete all of the prior podcast links keeping only the most recent. Select All, right-click and select the 'Do not autodelete' option. Select All, right-click>Get Info and in Multiple Item Information dialog window, Check and set Remember Position - Yes, Skip When Shuffling - No, Equalizer Preset - Loudness, OK.
    2. In Library>Podcasts I Select All (Ctrl-A), right-click and select the 'Do not autodelete' option. Select All, right-click>Get Info and in Multiple Item Information dialog window, Check and set Remember Position - Yes, Skip When Shuffling - No, Equalizer Preset - Loudness, OK.
    3. Create new Smart Playlist (CtrlAltN) with 'Match the following rule' set to 'Podcast is true' + other rules, e.g., 'Date Modified is in the last x days' and check 'Live Updating'. Now you have a playlist that has all (or whatever your rules allow) your podcast downloads in it and you can re-order the podcasts arbitrarily.
    Maintain Playlist in Order
    1. After updating Podcasts, repeat step 2 above because the updated podcasts don't inherit iTunes properties from the prior ones.
    2. Select your Smart Playlist. The updated podcasts will be automatically added to the bottom of the list. The ones they should replace should have remained in position provided the rules don't remove them and thus provide place markers for where the updated ones are to be dragged and dropped.
    3. Return to Library>Podcasts and delete the prior ones. They will also disappear from your Playlist.
    4. With iPod inserted and showing under Devices, select it and Autofill from the playlist created above.
    I'd welcome any suggestions for improving the procedure.

  • Nano Connection Problem (1st Gen)

    Hey, everything was going well, then suddenly my iPod nano was no longer recognized by my computer. It is not recognized by iTunes or Windows. When I plug it into my computer USB, nothing happens. It doesnt even start to charge. I have to plug it into my addapter to charge it. I also tried plugging it into a different computer and same thing...not recognized. I followed the 5 Rs and such other steps but nothing helped. Can someone please help? Any option suggestions? (It has been under 1 year since i bought my iPod but i lost me receit )
    Thanks

    Have you tried resetting the Nano will it still connected to your PC running Vista? Didn't the 6G Nano come with it's own cable?  If so, try using that one.  Of course, the iPod Classic sync cable should work just fine, but it's just a bit of troubleshooting, so try it if you can.
    Otherwise, also try shutting down your PC completely, booting it back up, opening iTunes, and then connecting your iPod Nano.  Any luck there?

  • HUGE 2.0 software problems on both a 1st gen iPhone and new 3g TWO BRICKS

    So I waited in line for several hours for the new 3G yesterday like most people get it home and it had the occasional random program crashes etc. No big deal par for the course for being first on the block with a new device - even a Apple product.
    My headache started with turning my "old" 1st Gen 16gb phone into a iPod. I installed the 2.0 software through iTunes and all went well until I was testing it out and it restarted. Weird since it gave no problems before. No big deal since I could go back to iTunes and restore it right?
    Wrong.
    Dead wrong.
    It will not get beyond the Apple logo restart screen (yes I left it alone - even over night). I tried different computers, restarting the computer and iTunes. Also tried reinstalling iTunes - nothing works. Okay no big deal since it just going to be my extra iPod.
    EXCEPT A HOUR LATER MY 3G IPHONE STARTED DOING THE SAME THING!!!!
    Now I have two 16gb iPhones that will not restart or restore - AND NO CELL PHONE SERVICE.
    Very, very frustrating. Even as a huge Apple fan I can't recommend this product until it's bit more fully developed.
    Now waiting for technical support for well over a hour . . . Thank god I didn't go ahead and cancel my home phone like I have been meaning to.
    Any one out there have any ideas?

    It looks like a 3rd party application might be the problem.
    The good news is tech support got me back on track. The secret? Power down the iPhone, then press and hold down the home button while connecting it to the computer with iTunes up and running. This will get you to the recovery screen. You should be able to then restore the phone. I would say be wary of some of the applications out there.

  • IPod 1st Gen (Touch wheel, 10GB) isn't recognized - missing software?

    Recently, my 80GB video iPod decided to simply die on me, so I dug out my very first iPod, from 2001 or '02 I believe.
    It turns on fine, can scroll through menus, but there's nothing on it anymore - plug it into my computer (firewire-to-firewire), and the iPod goes through a menu where there's the disc and a magnifying glass and eventually a check mark (connotating that everything's fine) - but it never docks onto the computer or shows up on iTunes.
    I've SCOURED the internet for old iPod software updates, trying to find one early enough, so it can recognize it and I can restore and hopefully the problem will be fixed - but there's been SO many iPods since then, it's ancient, and no support was found anywhere.
    Does anyone have a solution, or a link to the earliest of iPod updaters? I looked for documentation, but it was 9 years ago - I don't have the CD anymore or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    *In the 'About' menu on the iPod, the current version that's installed is 1.5 - don't know if that matters.
    **I'm trying to connect to a 15-inch PowerBook G4 (Aluminum?), currently installed with iTunes 8
    Message was edited by: Cassidy Knight (still)

    The current version of iTunes should be able to connect to even the 1st gen iPod. The one you have is 2nd gen, if it's the one with the four clicking buttons around the touch wheel. I have one of those, and although I use it as my little emergency/maintenance FireWire startup drive (because the screen failed on it), it is still recognized by iTunes on my Mac. Over FireWire, of course.
    The first thing you should try is to put it into Disk Mode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    Note: The procedure for your iPod is at the bottom, where it says +If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel+.
    If that works, connect it to the computer. Hopefully it will appear both on your desktop and in iTunes. If so, use the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod's hard drive and initialize its software. The latest available version of the software for that iPod will be installed.
    You may also want to try a different FireWire cable. It's just a regular cable, so you don't have to use the thin white one.

  • Ipod Touch 1st gen music problem.

    Hello, I have a 1st gen Ipod Touch 16gb running 3.13 and iTunes 10.2.2. Tracks play fine with iTunes, but the same tracks loaded onto my ipod will not play, no matter what format they are in( I have tried mp3 and AAC, 128kps and upwards). Done a reset and restore, uninstalled and reinstalled  iTunes with no change.
    Initially the first 10 or so tracks would play fine, then anymore after that would not. After a restore none would play. Everything else works well. Before the update there was not a problem, but i need this update as some of the apps will not work with anything beforehand. I am guessing that this may be at the root of it all, but am not sure what to do. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks. stuhux

    Hello again,
       all tracks were from different CDs, ripped using 3rd party software and placed in iTunes library as mp3s(all work in other media players), AACs created through iTunes from original mp3s. I can certainly  buy music in the future from iTunes, but it would cost a fortune to replace my existing collection, which is more or less useless to me if I depend on the Ipod Touch as it is. Is it possible to restore to an older working update, as music is the main reason for having it in the first place? The apps will have to be sacrificed. I don't really want to buy another one if this can work. Thanks again.

  • Touch 1st gen v2.2 & Intempo RDI dock problem!

    I have a *1st gen 32gig iPod Touch* and a *Intempo RDI* (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intempo-Digital-RDI-Speaker-Built/dp/B000XQ5ZLK/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1232054413&sr=8-1) DAB docking station.
    I have had said dock for almost a year without much of a problem with my Touch and an iPod Nano. Since the Touch v2.2 update when i plug in my Touch the light comes on and it starts to charge but it wont play any music. Now if i leave it for 30 secs to a minute or so the music just kicks in and its fine, where as before it used to do it instantly without a delay.
    If i remove the Touch straight away and try it again sometimes it will work right other times it wont.
    When it is working and i remove the Touch from the dock and plug it back in its fine also no delay in music playback.
    My Nano works fine in the dock as does another Touch still on v1 software (my dads) so i don't think the dock is at fault i have also got a Roberts Robi and when i use that on my Touch its fine also no delay in music playback.
    Other things i have noticed, when i first connect the Touch to the dock station it plays the music for about 1 sec before the delay and when it does come back the music sounds skippy for a bit but the track is fine.
    Tried my Touch in another 2 docks and it has no problems i also have no problem syncing it with my PC.
    Could the v2.2 software be causing this is there any other reports of it ?
    Thanks.

    Same with 2.2.1 firmware.
    No else had this issue with any dock?
    ipod works fine had it looked at an Apple Store.

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • I am trying to play my ipod shuffle 1st gen in itunes but it will not play. My windows 7 computer recognizes the ipod and I can easily select the songs on my ipod playlist in itunes but cannot play them. Any solutions to the problem?

    I get the feeling some has asked a question "like" this but not exactly that question which makes it really hard for find answers fast to the above question. Therefore, I decided to ask it anyway. Hopefully someone has a good solution that will work.
    Background on the question:
    - I had to erase and reupload song on my ipod 1st gen to my new computer. Apparently the ipod could not be read by the iTunes in my new computer because the playlist cannot be opened in more than one iTunes or in another computer or something like that (this makes no sense). All this was to try and charge my ipod that does not seem to want to charge. It connects perfectly to the computer and I can see the initial blinking yellow lights on the back and front, but won't charge. I am currently working on this problem from other community discussion topics.

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Having problems syncing 1st gen Ipod nano.

    I have a 1st gen Ipod nano (i'm pretty sure it's a 1st gen) that I gave to my mother because I got an Ipod touch. She has her own Itunes accout on her own computer and is trying to connect my old Ipod to her computer/itunes so she can use it and download her music. The problem is the sync function is not working. It will not highlight and stays grey and unable to sync. So can anyone help? I thought I was being nice giving her my Ipod nano for her to use but it's no good is she's stuck with my music and can't put her own on.

    Your mother will have to restore (wipe it out) the iPod Nano.  After doing that, she will be able to sync her own music.

  • 1st Gen iMac died-cloned HD onto new iMac-software needs to be deactivated?

    My old G5 iMac (1st gen) died - capacitors. The Genius Bar confirmed and in a thoughtful gesture removed the HD so that when I purchased a new iMac it would be easier for me to transport the HD & for them to clone (he said they would do it free).
    There's no way I could afford to buy a new iMac. eBay to the rescue: I purchased a used iMac G5 17", 2 GHz, 2 GB ram, 160 GB. (A little step up from the old 17" 1.8 GHz, 1GB ram, 80 GB.) I took it to Tekserve; they charged me $60 to clone.
    Everything is hunky-dory. Knock-on-wood, the eBay used iMac is working fine (this is still the first week).
    Today I launched Photoshop to discover that the app would be valid for only 5 more days! It seems that I am limited to 2 users: my old iMac and my laptop. If I deactivate the old iMac the message says I can activate the new iMac as a user.
    Make sense? But my old iMac is just a chassis and a separate(d) HD. How do I communicate with it to deactivate it as a 'user?'
    (1) Am I going to need to take my old HD back to Tekserve (auth service) within the next 4 days and have them hook it up and deactivate?
    Since my new iMac is cloned & running & backed up, I was thinking of erasing the old HD and selling it for parts.
    (2) Is there a way for me (I'm not very technically savvy) to erase my old HD that is separated from the iMac and sitting in an anti-static bag in order to sell it?
    (3) Is my best option to have Tekserve do both: 'deactivate' and then erase it? Their charge will impact the potential profit I might make selling it for parts...
    (4) Short of me launching every software app, are there any others that, in your experience, will have this same 'deactivation' issue (before I erase that old HD forever)?
    Thanks to all esteemed gurus for any and all advice!

    I ididn't think Adobe would be helpful. Nut lo & behold, they were understanding and I was able to activate the software on my cloned iMac.
    I didn't think it could be so simple!
    Meanwhile, I have taken the old 80 GB hard drive into Tekserve for a clean install and will put it up on eBay for parts/repair along with the 'chassis.'
