Bluetooth game play first gen ipod touch

As far as I have read the first generation iPod touch does not support bluetooth. Is this correct and does this mean that bluetooth gameplay for multiple players on the iPhone OS 3.0 will not be available for first generation iPod touch users?

There seems to be a tendency with some (not all!) game publishers to move to BT (OS3) multiplayer from the traditional (but, not taken the compatibility with iPod Touch 1G and iPhone 2G models, much more restrictive) Wi-Fi model.
Some new games have completely abandoned Wi-Fi in favor of BT; some have added BT in addition to the already-existing Wi-Fi.
What I recommend is contacting the devs of games that have abandoned Wi-Fi (or never used it, only BT) and asking them to re-enable it.
Incidentally, there's a full roundup (a chart) of all MP games at http://winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/iPhoneMPchart.html

  • Can not download any apps from app store with my first gen ipod touch

    I am able to search for apps and maneuver around the app store, but i can't download anything. The button that says "FREE" or has the price of the app is unresponsive. There does not seem to be anything wrong with my screen since I'm able to use any apps I already have.
    A google search turned up a couple of discussions from others that seem to indicate this is a recent issue.
    I'm using a first gen ipod touch with the latest OS it can use.
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    For me the problem started on my IOS 3.1.3 Gen 1 iTouch sometime between my last purchase on 12/10 and a sync. So a sync didn't preceed it.   I discovered it when I tried to purchase an Audiobook. I can do podcasts, buy individual songs, but that's about it.  I can update apps so long as I do them all, although update has been like that for awhile. I can't buy apps (even free ones), audiobooks, or albums using the Touch directly.  I can't see many of the screen previews for apps and I can't review feedback on productcs either. I don't have any problems transfering purchases from my computer to my Touch using the iTunes app. I guess I eventually figured Apple might go here, but I sure haven't seen any announcement they were gong to do it now, so if it's intentional, it was sure done in an unfriednly way.  I'm a developer, so I understand having to move on, but my Gen 1 is no where near end of life, even if it can't run the latest IOS. I was an early adopter of the Touch, so I'm one of millions that helped IOS devices become popular.  I have newer IOS devices in the household under the same AppleID and another, and they work perfect.  But still use the Gen 1 daily. If this is the way going forward, I guess I'll have to buy on my computer or other devices and transfer to the Gen 1, but I'll sure miss being able to do it directly.  And I of course tried a factory reset and that didn't resolve it.  Given so many are having this issue, I'm pretty sure it's the older IOS or Gen 1 interacting with the Apple storefronts that's the issue. The question is, is it intentional by Apple, or Apple oversight with an update to the storefronts? If intential I can understand apps, but not sure about Music and Audiobooks other than possibly the older IOS is holding back new store features???

  • Error 8288 when upgrading my first gen Ipod Touch to IOS 3.1.

    I am having some trouble trying to get IOS 3.1 on my first generation Ipod touch.  I have the latest Itunes, I do not have any dvd burning software like Anydvd that can interfere, and I've tried it on two different computers with no avail.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    msoviolist, I opened a ticket via their so called "Express Lane" support page, I assume it'll take a couple of emails before they decide to credit you for the download. I would suggest linking to these two threads in the correspondence, this is what I included in the message;

  • First Gen iPod Touch will not update to 2.2

    Hi guys, having a major issue here with this 2.2 update from Apple. I have a 16GB 1st Gen iPod Touch and am running Windows Vista Home Premium along with iTunes 8.
    When I click to update my software from 1.5.1 to 2.2, it goes through the whole process, but when it should finish, it says "Update could not be completed, Error 14." I then try to restore the iPod, it won't do that either. The iPod gets stuck on the screen showing the iTunes w/usb cable picture.
    Any help on this?

    You can try this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    Beyond that if you are near an Apple Store you might make a Genius Bar appointment.

  • Please Help!!! My itunes or computer wont recognize my first gen ipod touch

    A couple of months ago my iPod touch kept turning off on me even though my battery level read half. When the ipod turned off on me the first time I tried turning it back on, but the apple logo would only stay on for a couple of seconds then turn off. I tried turning it back on about three times, when I finally decided to stop trying for a couple of minutes. About ten minutes passed and I tried turning it back on, but this time it actually did turn on. The thing is though that when it turned on it had the usb and apple logo on the screen. I tried connecting it to my computer and it didn't pick it up. I plugged it to my friends computer and it still didn't pick it up. I tried reinstalling i tunes, I tried putting it in recovery mode and again nothing. Can some one please help me. I really do not want to spend thirty bucks on apple phone service.

    Have you tried placing it in DFU mode and restoring it.?

  • Trying to connect/sync first gen iPod touch to Compaq laptop

    I've had this iPod touch for about a little over a year and a half and it's in perfect condition, it's just when I plug it into my laptop using the USB cord my laptop won't even recognize it and the iPod won't even charge, let alone sync. I know it's not the cord because it works perfectly when my brother charges/syncs his iPod on his laptop. My iPod will charge when I plug it into my dock I just can't get it working on my laptop and I haven't updated my music in a couple of months and it is absolutely killing me. I've tried everything and I will end my run on sentences now okay PLEASE HELP.

    What app are yuo using?  The TV out connection only works for app that support its use and it does not mirror the iPod's screen. The native Video supports TV out.

  • ITunes 11 not recognising first gen iPod touch

    Is anyone else having this problem?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • First Gen iPod Touch 8GB, doesn't clear rented movies

    So I rent a movie from iTunes Store, move it over to my iPod Touch, watch it. I watch the movie, then the movie expires, and I get a message on my iPod telling me the movie had now expired. All good. The movie then disappears from my "Videos" section on the iPod. Then, when I connect it with my computer, the bar at the bottom (which shows the capacity and what percentage is taken-up by music and videos), the videos bar is now at some 4.3Gb even though there are no movies on it.
    Is this a bug of some sort? My iPod touch version is 1.1.5 and frankly I refuse to pay for version 2.2 which only seems to offer feature I do not care for.
    Can anyone offer a remedy short of Factory Restore everytime I sync movies?
    Oddly enough, at times when I go to "Videos" on my iPod Touch, some of my previously rented movies still show up for a brief second (movies I've rented months ago) but quickly disappear.
    Thanks a ton guys! BTW I have the latest version of iTunes.

    You're going to have to do a factory restore on the iPod.
    What you've described suggest corrupted files, the usual cause is some error in the sync.

  • I have a first gen ipod touch, is there a way to get previous versions of apps like spotify?

    I have heard that you can get previous versions of apps somewhere.  Does anyone know how to do this?  I believe it is running either ios 3 or 4...

    Not for a 1G. It works for 2G (IOs 4.2.1) and later only
