I have an ipod 1st generation that i recently factory reset

i have an ipod 1st generation that i recently factory reset, when I turn it on it says (itunes symbol <-- USB cord) as if i should sync with a usb to my computer to itunes... i did that and nothing happens- my itunes is not showing it all, there isnt a device button like with my iphone. My computer (PC) does recognize that i plugged it in with the USB bc i can pull it up in "This PC"
You should also know that it (the ipod) hasnt been updated system wise in years... so i dont know if that means anything... HELP ME!
i want to keep all my music on the ipod so i dont take up all my storage on my iphone.. THANKS!

The iPod is already erased.
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.
- Try another cable (not necessary if using same cable that works for other devices)
- Try on another computer (not necessary since other iOS devices connect.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on. So I know the speakers still work. I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute.

I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on. So I know the speakers still work. I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute. I have tried the mystical swiping upward on the screen with 4 fingers to get some special sound menu (which I never succeeded in getting). My headphone jack doesn't work all the time either so some times my kids can hear their games and sometimes they can't. I am super frustrated at this point. So any suggestions would be great. Am I missing something basic or do we just have a soundless iPad now?

I have an ipod 1st generation, when i try to add a game from itunes it says an update is needed. How do I do this.

I have a 1st generation ipod, when downloading games some say update ipod , the game does not go through. some games work some don't, the ipod will not update. what do I do.

A 1G iPod Touch cannot be upgraded past iOS 3.1.3. So if an app you have downloaded in iTunes requires a later version of iOS than 3.1.3, I'm afraid you won't be able to sync or use that app on your device unless you upgrade to a newer device that supports a later version of iOS.

HT1351 I have 2 ipods -1st generation Nano and I pod Touch. I tunes will not sync with the former. It appears this has only been a problem since downloading I Tunes 11. On connecting the Nano I Tunes does not seem to recognise it in any shape or form.

Old Nano will not sync with I Tunes ? dates to downloading I Tunes 11 Using original connections ? Any comments

Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

Also
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

If you have tried everything, then by definition, there is nothing else to try.
Perhaps if you explained what you tried someone can help.
If you have actually tried everything, then there is nothing anyone can do to help.
Did you try reset?

I didn't receive any news about the replacement program for the Ipod 1st generation. I have already sent the serial number online, but didn't have any progress. What should I do? Thank you

After you set up your service use your repair ID to track your replacement here:

Remember: You will receive a replacement unit approximately 6 weeks after Apple gets your current iPod nano
Hope this helps.

i have a ipod 4th generation; and on my itunes it keeps asking me for my itunes security card # but i dont have it. Is there a way i can get that number without the card itself?

Same model, with same capacity. Only certain serial numbers qualify. If your iPod is registerred, you should have received an email from Apple.

IPod 1st generation not recognized on mac

Why can't I get any help with my iPod 1st generation? I DO NOT BELIEVE this is just a coincidence that my old iPod stopped working the minute I installed the newest iTunes. I have talked to apple and they say that it is my old ipod which is no longer under warranty. Are they kidding? Do they think I'm just going to go out and buy a new iPod?

I have downloaded the Shuffle Reset Utility but it
does not recognized my iPod. I have switch USB ports
numerous times. restarted my computer numerous times
and had an online chat with an agent at Apple that
lasted about 4 hours and I still can't get my iPod to
work.
I had no problems with my ipod until I downlaoded the
new itunes. My Shuffle 1st generation is 18 months
old and no longer under warranty. Am I supposed to
buy a new iPod everytime Apple updates their software?
Given that the warraty ran out on it 6 months ago, and you appear to not have extended it through AppleCare, you're out of luck UNLESS you can resucitate your Shuffle.
ALL Of the things you've stated as having done don't include enough detail to let anyone HERE help you. Grousing about a dead Shuffle isn't giving us much of a foundation to work on.
NOW, does it charge (front LED lights orange) while plugged into a USB port? IF NOT, does it charge in a USB port on another computer? IF NOT... it D e a D.
