Are iTouch 1st gen users blocked by Apple from Microphone input:

I have wanted to get a microphone to use my trusty iTouch 1st gen for voice memos. Since the 1st gen never came with a mic in the plug spot, McAlly and a few others made an adapter to input through the dock connector.
However Apple quickly changed the firmware from 2.0 to 3.0 and blocked this feature. Is there a work around for this issue. My 1st gen is a reliable unit and I would like to not have to buy another.
Thanks, GB

answer is they don't Gen1 iTouch never had microphone inputs.

  • HT4205 is ios 4 ever going to be available for itouch 1st gen?

    I just bought an iTouch from my friend, neither of us knew that it was 1st Gen and now most apps are unavailable to me, they are already close to ios 6, and they are just leaving me with ios 3, if anyone knows if they are converting ios 4 to the iTouch 1st Gen or are planning to, please respond.

    No. Apple said 3.1.3 is the highest for the 1G. The 1G does not have hardware to support a later iOS.

  • Is it possible to replace the internal wifi antenna in a itouch 1st gen with a stronger internal wifi antenna from a slightly newer model, such as a 2nd or 3rd gen itouch?

    Is it possible to replace the internal wifi antenna in a itouch 1st gen with a much stronger internal wifi antenna from a slightly newer model, such as a 2nd or 3rd generation itouch?

    That is not very likely as the antennae are different physical designs and fit will be an issue.

    Sorry, but I don't believe there is way that you can.  You'll just have to make sure to read the minmium requirements of any App you are about to purchase to ensure that it is compatible and will run on your iPod Touch running iOS v3.1.3.

  • ITouch 1st gen OS 3.1.2 - missing touch volume control

    Does anyone know if apple has made it possible to upgrade the 1st gen iTouch to OS 3.1.2 without losing the volume controls? I have read some people saying that they are missing volume controls and others just forgot to plug in their headphones. Does the iTouch volume control work on a 1st gen? I really hope that I don't have to upgrade hardware to get the new OS. Any help would be appreciated. Also, is it possible to downgrade firmware to a version that supports touch volume, if it's necessary?

    I tried restarting my iPod Touch by holding down the top button until it gives the option to power off. This didn't seem to help, as there was still "no volume available", however, when I moved the iPod Touch from the dock and plugged the jack directly into the port, the volume control reappeared immediately, and when I moved it back to the dock, it stayed present and is still there now. Earlier today, when I used my headphones, there was also "no volume available", so perhaps power cycling did help?

  • My iPad 1st Gen recently Broke, Can Apple Replace it?

    I want to know this because I know they've stopped selling Ipad 1st gens, so I wonder how they would handle this, or if they would handle it.

    Well I'm guessing you don't have any remaining warranty. They would still be able to replace it, but out-of-warranty replacements are $249.

  • ITunes 10 not seeing iTouch 1st gen

    The newest version of iTunes 10.5.0.142 is not seeing my 1st gen iTouch, so I can not sync it.

    Downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and now I get a "iTunes could not connect to this iphone because an unknown error occured 0XE8000065" I have tried swapping cords and a hard reset to no avial.
    Does 10.5 even support 1st gen?

  • 1st gen ipad - does it have a microphone?

    silly question...does the 1st gen ipad have a microphone to support the apps like talking tom etc? so you'll be able to talk to it for then to repeat whats been said.
    Thanks in advance....

    Thanks, another silly question I just thought of...would the 1st gen also have face-time with a software update?

  • How can I enable Facetime for two different iTouch (4 gen) using the same Apple ID?

    I would like to have each of them have their own distinct email address so I can Facetime them seperately, is this possible? I have two new iTouches for each of my kids, and I want to use one Apple ID so we can all share the same music. they have their own email accounts, but I would like to know if I can assign each of the iTouch with a different email address so I can facetime my kids using their distinct email address. Right now, they are sharing the email address assigned to our Apple ID, so they are ringing at the same time. Thanks!! CL

    It is possible to use one Apple ID with Face Time and Messages by adding email addresses and setting the "you can be reached at" and "Start a new conversation from" in the settings for each device. This method does not work well though.
    Your best option is to set each kid up with there own iCloud/Apple iTunes Store account (Apple ID) using their own email address. Then on each device set the iCloud Settings on each device to their specific Apple ID. Set the iTunes & Apps Store settings to use the main Apple ID for store purchases. With this setup each user will have their own distinct iCloud account which will not interferer with the others yet still make purchases from the main one.

  • Are iTouch 2nd gen and 3rd gen the same/compatible??

    I want to buy a new stereo for my car, that works with my iPod touch 3rd generation. The only problem is there isn't any that are compatible, but they are to the 2nd generation touch.
    My question is will the ipod work with compatible 2nd gen stereos?
    This is the Head unit i want http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/cde-102
    and here is the wire that makes the head unit compatible with all the iPods except my 3rd generation http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/kce-433iv/
    Will i be able to play ipod through the headunit, and charge it?

    So my ipod should work with 2nd Gen appliances?
    If your iPod is a 2nd gen, it is a 2nd gen.
    I recommend you try it on a device before purchasing (or make sure the store has a full money back guarantee).

  • How much does it cost to get a iPod nano (1st Gen) screen replaced by apple?

    My iPod nano 1st Generation sadly fell off my desk and landed on my MacBook's power brick and the screen broke! I was wondering how much it would cost to get it replaced. My iPod also isn't able to participate in the iPod nano replacement program.
