How to refurbish my 1st gen ipod

i was lookn at the refurbished macs and ipods and was wondering, is it possible to sell my 1st gen nano back to apple?how would i go about this if possible.thnaks

Hi timestoby!
I don't think that Apple buys used products from individual private comsumers.
The refurbished products for sale, are usually taken as a trade-in when an individual purchases a newer product of the same type. The product is then totally restored and tested before sale.
But I'm not sure this is true for iPods.
I think some of the refurbished items, may have also been a product that was returned as faulty when purchased, and subsequently replaced with a different one of the exact same variety. These items are completely restored and tested, to working order before being offered for resale.
A pretty good deal actually, as the potential buyer knows for sure that all of the bugs have been eliminated, and the price is less than if purchased brand new.
I bought my MacBook as a Reburbished model, have not had a single problem with it, and it looked as though it had never been used.
But this is pure conjecture on my part. Maybe others can confirm or correct me.

  • Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs.  Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps

    ....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
    Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
    Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

    how to unlock iphone 1st gen and it be like an ipod touch

    To activate your phone, you need a SIM card from the carrier to whom it's locked.  The SIM needn't be active, but it needs to be present, nonetheless. 
    There's no way around this step.

    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.

  • Bought 1st gen iPod touch on eBay but it's passworded, how to reset?

    Hey all,
    I bought a 1st gen iPod Touch 8gb on eBay and it is passworded, I can't do anything with it. The seller isn't responding to my questions. How do I get past the Password? If I restore it to 3.1.3, will that fix it?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, if you restore on a different computer that was never synced to the iPhone or iPod touch, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode but the data will not be present.

  • 1st Gen iPod touch Keeps Having to Be Re-Registered with iTunes

    My 1st Gen. iPod touch works very well, with one exception. Every few weeks I'll turn it on and I'll get the picture of the cable and the iTunes icon - which is what you get the first time you use your iPod touch and means it needs to be registered with iTunes. This will happen both if I plug it in to my charger and when I just simply turn it on with the power button. I'll then take the touch to my computer and use my syn cable and plug it in. When the iTunes window comes up, on the left column it shows my touch, but the name I'd given it has gone back to the default name. I'll rename it again, but again within a week or two the same thing happens again. I'm stumped. I'm using an iMac running Leopard 10.5.6 and a white MacBook, also with 10.5.6. All my software on the touch, MacBook and iMac are up to date. I have very few apps on my touch and lots of room left on it to store stuff. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Hi Brenda,
    That screen, with the iTunes icon and the USB cable, means the iPod is in recovery mode.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 provides more information about the mode and how-to use it to restore your iPhone or iPod touch.
    Are you using any 3rd-party accessories with the iPod touch?
    Does the accessory have the Made for iPod logo?
    Try restoring the iPod again, setting it up as a new iPod, and testing it without any 3rd-party accessories.
    If the issue persists, the iPod may need hardware repair. Just make a reservation to have a Genius take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • Getting App off 1st Gen iPod touch to use on iPhone

    I have a 1st gen ipod touch with an app that is no longer available in the app store (the original EA SimCity).  I want to save it to my pc so i can put it on my iphone, but when I backup or sync my ipod touch, it doesn't backup the game. Any way I can get the game off the ipod onto my pc or into itunes?   I want to play the game i paid 5 bucks for, but EA cleverly obsoleted the game and re-released it under the same title with one tweak.

    Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computerIt is an all or no transfer. Then sync the app to the iPhone.
    If you also want the game status restored:
    - How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
    - Or backup the iPod to iTunes and restore the iPhone from that backup. All the apps have to be in the iTunes library since the backup does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Returning 1st gen ipod touch for 2nd gen?

    Does anyone know if I could return my 1st gen ipod touch for the 2nd gen or even give it to them and get money off the 2nd gen? I want to return my first gen because i have noticed that some of the apps that I want to download require a mic. If you no if i can trade mine in please respond. Thank you

    ... and the second generation Touch doesn't have a mic anyway. Chris will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe, if you want to use a mic-dependant App on a 2nd gen Touch, then you need to buy a headphone/mic combination to plug in instead of standard headphones. I don't know +at all+ about the 3rd gen.
    Non-mic Apps can run on a 1st gen Touch if you purchase the software upgrade, but whether that also includes mic-Apps, well, once again, I don't know. (Not much I do know really, is there? )
    Perhaps you need to consider how much you need mic dependant Apps before rushing into the major expense of a Touch which may not actually meet your needs. There's always the iPhone of course.
    Phil
    Ah, there you go, in this post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2322224&tstart=30 - sparky67 says the 3rd gen 32G and 64G Touch comes with a microphone/headphone combination.

  • Will 1st gen ipod touch still work with new itunes library on new computer (transfer didn't work from old computer)

    Ok, so I have a new computer and wanted to transfer my itunes library from my old computer. I could not get the files to transfer. I downloaded the newest version of itunes and see that I can download my previously purchased music to the new computer. I have mp3's that I can add in on my own so I don't have a problem starting over in itunes.
    My question is what happens when I plug in my 1st gen ipod touch and try to sync??? Will it erase what is on my ipod or will I be able to move the stuff from my ipod into my new itunes library?? Any info would be great...I'm happy with how my ipod is set up so I really don't want to mess with a good thing. Also, will I need to update and of my software on my ipod since it's 1st generation??
    Thanks for the help!!

    You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. If you do sync the iPod is erases and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    To avoid that see:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    Yes, the 1G works with the latest iTunes.
    To transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • Installing old apps on 1st gen iPod touch

    Hi all!!
       Ok I have a 1st Gen iPod touch and I have 2 apps that were updated from iTunes but when updating it
    said that it couldn't update due to old system but the old apps stayed on my iPod but when I did a restore
    the apps are not on my iPod and it say that the apps are no longer compatible with my old iPod. I have checked
    in my Time Machine and I have the old apps vers that USED to work with my touch but when I did a restore via
    Time Machine it doesn't work (that way). Is there a way that I can restore those two apps with Time Machine so that
    I can make it work again for my touch??? They are still on my iTunes but under the new vers that will only
    work under IOS 4+. Any help would be welcomed!!!
    Serge

    How can I delete the new ones?? Even if I do, the iTunes site doesn't have the OLD vers that would still work with
    my iPod I do have'em on my TimeMachine but don't know how to restore them to make it work. I wish that iTunes
    would keep all generation of apps so if you need to restore you'll be able to get the old app back. I can't even use
    ebay app no more. So sad. Any way thanks for the help lllaass!!!
