First generation does not recocnize USB for syncing or charging???

Hi,
I have a 4GB 1st gen Nano. I plugged this into my computer to sync (USB). It didn't even give any sign what-so-ever that it was plugged into anything. I tried plugging it into a USB wall charger to charge. Same thing, no response at all. As a last resort I tried a Firewire wall charger and that worked.
It will charge with the firewire cable. I thought maybe it would sync with firewire, but apparently firewire is not supported on this model. I tried, it did not work.
Please help!

Let it charge for 30 minutes (use the firewire cable, it will charge it) then Reset the iPod while it is connected to power. When it revives, fully charge it then use your USB cable to connect it to your computer. If the compute cannot see it, try a different USB docking cable.

  • IPod classic  (first generation) does not synch on Itunes 9.0.3 on Mac

    I have an Ipod classic 160 Gb (first generation) that is not synchronizing in Itunes 9.0.3 on iMac (OS Snow leopard). When connected in the usb port, a hard disk icon is displayed on the desk, ITunes is started (if not already atarted). The Ipod shows "connected" and I can see a "synchronizing" for a very short time but the Ipod never shows up in Itunes window. My other Ipods (Touch and shuffle) are properly synchronized. I can synchronize my Ipod classic on a PC (Windows) using Itunes 9.0.2.25. I tried to reinit the Ipod (toggle Hold then Menu-Select). I also tried to reset to factory. I tried swith the Ipod to Hard isk mode. I also re-install Itunes on my iMac. I rebooted the iMac. I used different usb ports. Nothing works and I'm clueless.

    i know u fixed it, but i had the same problem (my ipod 2nd generation would not appear on my itunes version 9.0.2 on my mac OSX 10.4.11, it appeared on the desktop but not in itunes as there was no device subheading) i fixed this problem by plugging my ipod into another computer and syncing it to that itunes, as the problem is not with the ipod just with itunes. when i plugged it back into my computer it gave me the device option, and i could sync it with my songs, it shows up every time now! hope this helps someone!

  • First generation ipad not accepting passwords for wifi

    I have a first generation ipad -- 2 weeks ago it stopped connecting to wifi -- I enter the wifi password and it says "Incorrect password" -- I am positive the password is correct.  I have restarted, restarted the router, changed the router channel, called tech for my cable router, soft re-boot, hard re-boot, forget this network, reset network settings, and I just completed a complete wipe out of the ipad to start over... same problem, it says "Incorrect password" -- I am beyond frustrated at this point, can someone please offer some insight to this issue?!  I have already gone through all the steps listed on previous posts, its like the wifi just stopped working.   It will recognize my network but will not accept the password.  all other devices in our home work with the same network and password.
    Thanks for your help!!!!

    When you say 'open up' - do you mean unlock it so a password is not required?

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    I do not fully understand you question.  To use iCloud on an iOS device requires iOS 5 and the 2G only goes to iOS 4.1.2 and thysyu can't access iCloud, including contacts.
    Maybe you could sync the iCloud contacts with anopther program and sync that program with the 2G iPod.
    The following smple states the following for Contacts:
    iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?
    Contacts
    If you want to check your iCloud Contacts, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser system requirements for icloud.com).

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

    You have to back them up to a computer. You would import them either to iPhoto or to the Photos app in your PC:

  • I have created an extensive slideshow w/music on my MacBook Pro iPhoto. How do I export a slideshow so that I can burn a DVD from it? "Help" does not offer info for this request, only if you want to export to another Apple device.   Help!!!

    I have created a lengthy slideshow with music on my MacBook Pro under Iphoto.   What steps do I need to take in order to burn a DVD copy of this slideshow?     "Help" does not offer info for this transaction, only if you want to export to another Apple device and it shows that you must first export to Itunes.  Can anyone help me with information on just copying to a DVD?  I don't want to email it or show it on another Apple device.  I want to be able to burn multiple copies on DVDs as a gift......    Can it be done?   I'm not real computer savvy

    Connect the device to the computer.
    In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

  • IPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.

    iPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.  It is fully updated to 5.1.1 but you have to manually connect after turning off and back on.  I also have an iPad 2 with the same OS but it automatically connects.  The wi-fi has no security.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • My Windows 7 Ultimate {32bit} does not install driver for my LG HDD HXD5 320GB

    My windows 7 does not install driver for my LG EXTERNAL HDD HXD5 320GB & its attached using a USB.
    It works perfectly on Other computers having Windows 7 & Windows XP & Windows Vista, just doesn't work on mines.
    I have had internet connected when it was installing hence it got the opportunity to search Windows Update for it but it fails :(
    It works even on my computer ( I have DUAL OS) on windows XP SP3 but i need it to work in Windows 7.
    Please help Thanks :)
    & i have already tried tried the solution which was proposed for another topic in this forum on which it was to Uninstall the driver using Device Manager and unplug the HDD and attach again and let the computer detect and install it again, my computer
    does detect it but fails to install the drivers.
    My Computer has a 2GB of RAM & 2.40GHZ (32bit) with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and had come with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit installed, & i upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit which is completely updated to all the Updates that Microsoft
    had offered (using the built in Windows Update in Control Panel)
    I have got screen shots of it too.
    http://shumayal.fileave.com/HDD.zip
    PS: Same is the case with some of my USB Flash drives, but in their case they don't get detected at all but get in Windows XP SP3 (which is another OS on my pc) as well as on windows 7 and other OS on OTHER COMPUTERS but not mines in Windows 7.
    Thanks :)

    Hi,
    I recommend you try to update the BIOS and the motherboard chipset drivers for Windows 7 firstly.
    After that, please refresh the USB Stack:
    Control Panel – Device Manager – USB Serial Controllers – Right Click on EVERYTHING and UNINSTALL all except the category itself – Reboot
    . This refreshes the drive and the USB stack
    Then, right click on the LG EXTERNAL HDD HXD 5 320GB in Device Manager and select Update Driver Software.
    You may also try the Windows 7 built-in
    Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.
    Hope it can help you!

  • I have a G5 and bought and upgraded to osx 10.5.  now i need to upgrade to 10.5.6 or higher, but when i download and try to install, i get message "this volume does not meet requirements for this update".

    i am trying to sync an ipad to a power mac g5.  i bought and upgraded to osx 10.5 and have tried to download and 10.5.6 or higher, but i keep getting same message:  "you cannot install mac os x update on this volume.  this volume does not meet requirements for this update".  help!

    Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
    Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5
    To me, in all such updates, goes without saying maybe: backup, repair permissions, repair your drive (Disk Warrior does more reliable and thorough job, and it comes out to pennies if you don't wait until needed). Clone your system so you can restore or use the backup - just in case.
    I'd even do a fresh format after your clone is done and do a full OS clean install and update, and then a quick import from Setup Assistant.
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
    (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    I'm going to assume there is something with the partitions on the drive, partition table most likely, though I know I've seen others with that error message - doesn't really point to cause, rarely does (make sure latest firmware update etc is sometimes included but again, we know that isn't why).
