Atv 2 1st and 2nd gen headaches

i have an atv2 2nd gen amd an atv 2 1st gen, the 1st plays movies through itunes perfectly with no problems, the atv 2 2nd gen will not play those same movies, i have to air play from my pc to the unit for it to play.

Is this with streaming local content or renting through iTunes?
I was assuming you were doing the latter. If so, see below.
If you set up the ATV to use a DNS other than your ISPs then yes that would be an issue, that's what I am trying to get at. It would not have to do with browsing but would affect streaming on the device.
If you have set it up with the default DNS then that's fine.
If you're using home-sharing check firewall and any anti-virus.

As suggested take it in to see if it's a problem with your unit.

1st and 2nd Gen differences?

What are the main differences between the 1st and 2nd Gen Touch? I'm getting ready to buy a 32gb Touch, but I can't figure out what is improved on the 2G. If it's nothing major, I'm just going to get a 1G and save $50.

also, the 1st Gens have old software on them. if you get one you'll have to pay to upgrade to 2.0 and consequential software upgrades.
external volume buttons, longer battery life, the design is slightly different - described as 'sleek and feeling better in your hand'
enough reasons i would have thought for you to go the whole hog and get a new one.

Size difference of dock for 1st and 2nd gen

Hi, I tried searching the forums but i couldn't find a specific answer to my question.
I know that the dock for the 1st and 2nd gen is at a different place, but does anyone know if the exact size has changed? That is, if i have just a plug which was made for the 1st gen nano, can this plug fit into the 2nd gen dock pins?
Any help will be great, thanks!

All dock connectors are the same, so you can use the same cable.
However, you asked about the dock which is not the same as the dock connector. The dock is this.

Question about firewire AC adaptor and iPod Nano (1st and 2nd gen)

I have an AC adaptor from the Mini, model #A1070 W008A130 and I was wondering if it was compatible with both the 1st and 2nd gen Nanos.
I've been unable to find any power specifications and just want to make sure I'm not going to burn both mine and my girlfriend's Nanos out when we charge them away from a computer.
Thanks in advance.

You won't burn anything out.

Both 1st and 2nd gen touchs losing video/music

I have a first gen touch and a 2nd gen touch that are both losing music and video periodically. They are both set to manually manage music and seem fine when plugged in. After hitting the eject button in itunes sometimes they are wiped sometimes they are fine. They only work after doing a restore at which point you have to put everything back on. Both itunes and the ipod software are up to date. Is there any way to fix this?

I have the same question
1) ATV gen2 = good at netflix, issues with everything else
2) ATV gen1 = good at playing movies, music, works well with apple remote, no Netflix
i just set them both up thinking the best solution is to just flip between them with my universal remote, but that remote controls both at the same time even though only one is visible. Interestingly, the Gen3 remote doesn't mess with the Gen1 ATV.
So how do we make it so that our universal remotes can control EACH ATV without both at the same time?

I am having problems streaming music to my apple tv (1st and 2nd gen). The music cuts in an out after a while of playing. Any suggestions?

I have a first gen apple tv and it works as advertised except for the streaming of music which would cut out/on/out...... I decided to buy a aptv2 and have the same issue. I have tried using different wireless setups, ipod, iphone and laptop and the same issue happens. Any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

So am I correct in assuming that all of the Ipod touch 1st and 2nd gen are obsolete?

I can't seem to download any apps for my second generation ipod touch. I have looked on forums and searched the internet on what to do with no avail. Please do not send me any messages saying that I cannot go any higher than iOS 4.2.1 because I know this and you will be wasting my time. Basically my question is what do the people do that own older ipods? Do we simply toss them out? I think that this is a little ridiculous, I paid for a product that I can no longer use simply because it is older.

"Do we simply toss them out?"
No.
"I think that this is a little ridiculous"
Since you don't just "throw them out", there is no "ridiculousness".
"I paid for a product that I can no longer use simply because it is older."
Baloney. You can use the product, until it's no longer operational. If it breaks, you can have it repaired outside of the warranty.

Ipod mini lcd difference between 1st gen and 2nd gen

Hi Phil.Surf 16,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPod is not in iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

1st Gen and 2nd Gen - help me?

Ok so i'm confused here...
The 1st gen and 2nd gen iPod touches both have the same 128mb of RAM yes...
So why is it that the 1st gen is apparently incapable of running iOS 4?
Yes, i understand that multi-tasking, and wallpapers(?) are too memory-intensive for the devices with such a small amount of RAM.
But come on, surely something like folders isn't totally 100% impossible for the 1st gen??
I know that the second gen is running @ 121Hz faster than the first but i would've thought that folders require the use of the memory over the processor?

I make no judgements about whether these devices are iOS 4 capable or not. Nor do I offer an opinion about the policy of which devices do, and which do not, upgrade. Nevertheless, it is Apple's policy, and I unfortunately I don't think you're gonna get the answer you seek here... Sorry.
You could try a Genius Bar or AppleCare, but only if you seek a Monty Python-style ‘Argument Clinic’...

HT202157 What is the difference between the 1st and 2nd generation Apple TV?

What is the main difference between the 1st and 2nd generation Apple TV's? I just got the 1st generation and was wondering if I should send back for the 2nd gen?

There is one other difference. The ATV3 uses a new processor with a better graphic processing unit. If you only had the ATV2 for less than 14 day. Why not upgrade. 1080p video will be a little sharper, but in reality most people won't notice any real difference. It's likely that Apple will stop supporting the ATV 1st gen and 2nd gen in couple of years. Apple as a company usually only supports hardware 5-6yrs max!

Itunes will not update/sync ipod shuffle (1st or 2nd gen).

Hello -- I've seen a few postings with similar issues, but no answers that work yet, so I'm hoping someone may be able to help.
Recently, I can not get itunes to sync or update either my 1st or 2nd gen shuffle. itunes sees it and diagnostics says everything is fine (although the diag program takes 5-7 mins to run). Non-shuffle ipods work fine on the same USB port. Also, the shuffles work fine on other computers.
I have deinstalled/reinstalled itunes, as well as the USB driver. I downloaded the reset utility for both shuffles and run. No difference after any of these efforts.
The problem is the same for autofill or drag/drop. itunes says not to disconnect the ipod as it's sync'ing and the little sync symbol appears next to the shuffle, but itunes just locks up ~5 mins. It returns w/o an error message, but nothing has been copied. It's the same whether I try to copy 1 or 100 songs.
Any help will be appreciated. I'll cross post in 1st gen discussion as well.
Thank you,

None of the suggested fixes in the knowledge base article you referenced resolved this issue for me. Further, I cannot use the iPod Reset Utility to restore the iPod as it is not 64-bit OS compatible.
I have been unable to sync my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen with iTunes since the release of 8.1.1.10. The new release 8.2.0.23 has not resolved the issue. Hopefully Apple will take notice of all the problems here on the forums and release either an iTunes or firmware patch to resolve these problems.

My iPods touch 1st and 2nd generation don´t show up anymore in iTunes after upgrade to iTunes 10.5 and MacOsX 10.6.8 Snow. What can I do??

I was using iPods touch 1st and 2nd generation together with iPod Shuffle 1st generation with inferior versions of iTunes and MacOS X without any problem. After I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6.8, the iPod Shuffle still appears in iTunes normally, but the iPods don´t appear. Its not a problem of the USB because because it happens with two different USB cables which worked just fine before. Any idea how I could get the iPods working again?? Thanks a lot!!!

I have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen, MacOS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.5, and my iPod still works when I plug it in.
So it's not the software, because mine still works. Do your iPods have a lock on them? If so, try unlocking them and then plugging them in, usually when your iPod has a passcode lock it won't show up in iTunes until you unlock it.

HT4623 i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do you update it??

i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do i update it?

To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
