How can I keep an iPod 1st Generation from shutting completely off when I leave it for more than 1 minute?

Well, my friend and I just received this 1st generation iPod Touch from a man at our church. He said we could sell it. However, it has some problems. For example, when I leave it alone, it cuts off completely, Then, I have to hold the home and power button for about ten seconds so the Apple symbol will come on the screen and I then know that it is coming on. Can someone help me with the problem?

You should connect it to a computer running iTunes, and do a Restore.

  • How can i update my ipod 1st generation from IOS 4.2.1 to 5.0

    how can i update my ipod from IOS 4.2.1 to 5.0

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the first generation iPod touch and original iPhone is 3.1.3.
    The maximum iOS version for the second generation iPod touch and the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.
    If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

  • HT1515 How can I use Airport Express (1st generation) with OS X Mavricks?

    How can I use Airport Express (1st Generation) with OS X Mavericks?

    1st Generation AirPort Express will work fine with Mavericks.
    Are you sure that you have a 1st Gen Express?
    Check the model number on the side of the Express. 1st Gen is A1264.
    If you see A1084 or A1088, these are much older versions of the Express that were sold long before Apple began to use the Generation naming with "n" wireless devices in 2007.
    Mavericks will not support the A1084 or A1088. Use another Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC if you need to administer the older Express.

    How can I keep my RAW photo files from converting to JPEG???

    Hello briggiebunny
    If iTunes can read the movie files, then you will need to create an iPad version by going to the drop down menu File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version and then syncing that newly created file.
    iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

    You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
    If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.  To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

  • How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
    The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
    If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.

    Hi,
    There is a VI called "dsc_TagEditorLauncher.vi" under "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\project\lvdsc" folder that can be used to launch the TCE programmatically. I hope this helps.

  • How can I keep my iPod Touch cool in the sun?

    So I am going on holiday at the end of this week camping abroad where it will be hot and I am planning to take my iPod touch with me so I can access my music, emails, Facebook, Twitter, Skype etc. I am slightly concerned that iPod touch will be damaged by the heat as it can get very hot in the tent and car and also on the beach in direct sun. I had a heat warning the other week from leaving it on the table in the garden in the 30 degrees sun (yes that was silly of me!) It has a Zagg screen protector and a basic black skin. It is an iPod touch 4th generation. Is there any way of protecting from sunlight and heat? Also is there an app to download that will read the iPods current temperature and what is its maximum temperature it can withstand to?

    All you can do is keep it shaded and not in a unventilated space (like a car or tent) exposed to the sun.
    There is no temperature app.
    Hot temperatures can permently damage the iPod, especially the battery.

  • How can I keep my ipod files when connecting to new pc?

    When connecting ipod to this new pc, (other one died), it says it wants to sync my files and that it will delete what is on the ipod.
    This is the only files I have left since the others were on the old pc.
    Is there a way to save this music before it gets 'resync'd'?
    Thanks for your help

    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    Comparison of iPod managers

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay:

  • How can I keep my corporate security department from wiping my devices with a service like good technology?

    I want to run corporate stuff on my ios devices. Right now they use Good Technology. They may be adding microsoft OWA and Lync apps. They tell me they could wipe my device with Good (not that they would do that without my approval). I am not sure what their capabilities could be with Microsoft stuff. Can I keep them from doing this? Or is that controlled by the app and if I want their version of the app I have to say ok to the wipe? I don't think they want to go around wiping ios devices. I am more worried about random screw ups (Oops, we didn't mean to do that!) on their part. Where can I go to understand the security model for ios better?
    Thanks.

    If your company requires that you register your iPad with their MDM system or they use Microsoft Exhange for their email and calendaring system, then they can enforce the ability to wipe your device and there's no way you can prevent it other than to not participate and forgo whatever benefits using their systems might bring.
