How do I repair my 1st gen itv so that itunes see's it again?

My 1st Gen iTV is no longer being seen by my itunes. I have the updated software on the 1st gen, and I just updated the itunes software.
I can access itunes from the 1st Gen with no problems, and it see's my wifi. But itunes doesn't give me any option anywhere to find or add the itv.

Several users have reported this problem after upgrading to iTunes 10.5. Try updating to the newest version. If you are already at the newest version, try downgrading to 10.4.
Or bettery yet, contact Apple about the issue and see what they say.

How do I update my 1st gen ipod touch software? I'm unable to downlod new apps?

I do not understand how to update the ipod touch. On my iphone 4 you can go under settings and then software and check your software and then update if needed. This ipod 1st gen does not have this under settings. I'm trying to update the software so that it can down load more current apps.

iPad 1's can only be updated to IOS 5.1.1. The iPad 1 doesn't have the processing power to handle any higher.

AppleTV 1st Gen has my entire music library loaded however my iTunes library was lost when my external hard crashed. My question is can I copy the content from the AppleTV 1st Gen back into my iTunes on my iMac?

AppleTV 1st Gen -
I have a rather complex music/movie library system, as well as the ability to listen/watch the content throughout my house thanks to Control4 - extra vegetables and other various 3rd party equipment. I moved my entire music library onto an external hard drive to free up space on my iMac...then my dog got tangled in the cord and pulled the external drive from my desk to the floor destroying the hard drive...(yes I've already attempted to have the content recovered by specialists- no such luck.
My question is... Is it possible to copy the content from the AppleTV 1st Gen back into my iTunes on my iMac? If so step by step directions would be greatly appreciated!
thanks to all
Tom

Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

How do i find my 1st gen nano library and transfer it to my itouch library

I had a 1st gen Nano and purchased an itouch. I noticed that once I registered my itouch, the nano library never came back up. I no longer have the nano. How can I find my nano library on my hard drive and transfer those songs to my itouch?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The music should be in your iTunes library. Open iTunes to configure what's put on your iPod touch.
If you had the +iPod nano+ set to manually managing music and have been deleting it out of iTunes after copying it to iTunes (not a scheme I could ever recommend) then you'll have to re-rip or re-import the music to iTunes.

How to improve use for 1st Gen iPad

I love this app. I have other pdf readers but I love this app the most. The only problem is, it lags on me most of the time. It slows down every now and then. Please give me some advice on how I can improve the performance of the Adobe Reader on my 1st Gen iPad. Thank you very much!

The lagging problem might be the reason of memory. You can try using Adobe Reader after freeing up memory by removing stuff from your device which is not necessary.
Thanks,

How to read ebooks with 1st-gen iPad?

New owner of a 1st-gen iPad (gift from someone upgrading), who wiped her iPad clean before she gave it over.
I have some eBooks in my iTunes Library, but I can't seem to find a way to read them on the iPad. iTunes tells me I have to have iBooks, which requires iOS 7. Since the 1st-gen won't update past iOS 5.1.1, Kindle won't download below iOS 6, and Nook won't seem to read books already in the Library....
Oh, and how can I save PDFs onto this thing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can download both iBooks and Kindle (and other book readers) to iTunes on your computer. Once downloaded open the Purchased section in the App Store on the iPad and tap to download the apps. You will be prompted to download a compatible version.

How I got my Nano 1st gen to update and work

I just got my iPod nano 1st gen today (refurb)
I plugged it in......and got nothing but the flashing folder. I couldn't get it to restore or update...each time I got an error saying a file was in use or a 1418 error. Disk Utility wouldn't recognize the Nano but System Profiler would. I tried over 15 times...still nothing; would not update. I tried resetting the nano, putting in disk mode....nothing. I tried resetting during the update...nothing. Then finally, while using the stand alone iPod updater, I opened iTunes simultaneously and voila, something started happening. Whereas in the beginning, it was formatted for Windows (received that way) all of the sudden it said formatted for Macintosh, then lo and behold my nano rebooted and started working.
I'm so happy. I have previously only owned the shuffle and was so looking foward to this Nano (which I got at a great price, btw US$99.00)
So, what do I think actually did the trick? I'm not sure. The combination of resetting the iPod during the update using the stand alone iPod updater and lauching iTunes 7 simultaneously for some reason worked.
Hope this helps someone who is having a similar problem.

Which "standalone iPod updater" did you use? iPod Updater 2006-06-28 for Mac ?
My understanding was that iTunes 7.0 took away the need for standalone iPod updaters. I've been researching this topic for an hour, and hope of recovering my nano is waning.

Ipod touch 1st gen is frozen, all I see is Apple logo for 10 secs and then screen goes black. What's wrong with it?

My ipod touch (1st gen) is frozen and does not respond. All I can see is the Apple logo for around 10 seconds and then screen returns to black. What is wrong?

Apple TV (1st Gen) not seen by iTunes

Hi there, my Apple TV (1st Gen) no longer appears in itunes 10.
I have looked at as many of the forums as I can and I have followed all the advice to reset Apple TV, router and PC. No joy. I have then restored Apple TV, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, checked router ports etc. but still no joy.
The Apple TV is connected to my network just fine (I can download movie trailers etc.), my PC is connected to the network just fine (itunes store opens and I can shop). However, the Apple TV does not appear in the devices list on the LHS of the itunes window, there is no Apple TV tab in preferences and I cannot locate my library (not listed) on the Apple TV.
Basically I have tried everything I can find to try to solve this, but no joy. Please can someone help me as this is driving me crazy?
(I have also posted this in the Apple TV forum as I was not sure if it is an iTunes or Apple TV issue)

Ok, so I figured out that the software on the ipad must not be compatible with the old airtunes...
So I did further research and went ahead and got the Remote HD app on my ipad 3 (kinda pricey for an app, but even cheaper than a cable after all); this only works if you have a jailbroken atv1 with the RemoteHD plugin installed.
And instantly, shazam, the box and triangle shows up on the ipad and I can airplay to the atv1. I only was really wanting to play music over the house system via the apple tv; but the video mirroring actually works as well. It's not that great, however. All of these mods are really pushing the envelope on the poor old atv, which has smoke pouring off of it... i'm kidding.
The whole Firecore (atvflash) setup process was actually kind of a pain in the neck, but now that it's all set up everything works. Mostly. Bottom line I'm playing music from the ipad on the house system and walking around... look ma, no cables!

Apple tv 1st gen cannot sync with itunes 11.1 purchase

My 1st gen Apple TV cannot sync movies/TV shows that were purchased after itunes 11.1 upgrade. Old movies/TV shows purchased prior to 11.1 have no issue deleting or adding to ATV, anyone has same issue?

Well ... took a long time but found out you are right. The ones that I cannot sync to ATV are the 1080p movies/TV shows.
I thought I had previously downloaded many HD movies/TV shows, but after checking the "get info" they are at best 720p even though the titles say "HD"
Guess I have to upgrade. Thanks a lot!

I have an 1st gen Ipod touch that runs 3.1.3 IOS.

1st Gen Ipod touch 3.1.3 ios. No apps will work on this ios is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks

There are only a few apps currently available for the 1G iPod. There is no way to search for only compatible apps. You just have to look at the Requirements section of apps that interest you.
The only real solution is to purchase a newer model iPod
