Installing Ipod without software

Hello, I recently purchased a 1st generation 10 gig ipod from ebay and it didnt include the itunes disc. I am wondering how to install the ipod without a disc which guides you through the installation process, is there something appropriate i need to download, if so could u link me?, thanks a lot

Here's the iTunes software, download and install this first.
iTunes.
Here's the iPod software.
iPod Updater.
Normally, you would install the software on the iPod to format it for Windows use. However, and I may very well be mistaken here, but I am almost certain that the first generation iPods won't work on the Windows platform.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Itunes won't open, music gone after installing ipod/itunes software again

I was using itunes to purchase music and burn it to cds. I recently got a nano and tried to install the software last night. Now Itunes won't open, and I don't even see any of my downloaded music on my computer. It's possible that it's a problem with my computer, but we're also looking into the issues reported with Norton, etc. I should know more by tonight. My question is how do I get my music back if it was somehow deleted by this process? Obviously I've already purchased it, but I don't remember all the songs and I didn't have a backup.

You need to search your hard drive(s) and recycle bin for the music files.
Purchased music will always have a .m4p file extension.
Without a backup, if the files are gone, the music is gone.

Error when installing ipod nano software

When I try to load the software for my ipod nano I receive the following error
1601:unable to install installshield scripting runtime
I have tried all of the solutions offered but still no luck

OMG! You could sub-title this: "Why Windows Blows" ... I bought a new iPod for my wife - I have to install the sw on the loser windows box because she uses that box.
The iPod (cd) and/or the iTunes (apple.com download) install blows up either under my admin/unrestricted account, or as her limited-user account with the errors described above. I've followed all the links, etc., and jumped through all the hoops but I still get the %#$! 1607 error.
When I try, as a windows "super-user" <snort> to reset the perms on the windows/Installer directory, it gives me the appearance of allowing me to uncheck the box and take the directory out of read-only more, but it doesn't actually reset the directory permissions.
Since windows isn't smart enough to have an equivalent of a chmod 775 command....it looks like we're hosed.
I'm subscribing to the thread in the hopes that someone can actually figure out how to install this software on Windows successfully....until then, I guess she'll have to manage her iPod on my one of my Macs if it will support multiple iPods....
Hey ... Apple - how about itunes/ipod support for linux?
Sigh...frustrated beyond belief; I feel so unclean every time I have to use a windows system...

I installed lion without software updating and now itunes doesn't work and my computer crashes when loading photobooth?

I didn't bother to install the software updates my computer needed to do. It said something about prepping for lion, but I thought if I installed lion it wasn't neccesary. Now seeing as I have all these bugs, I feel like that was a mistake. I also did not bother to make a time machine thing to go back on, or any copy of my snow leopard hard drive. Is my only option now to make a clean install of snow leopard with the cd and wipe everything, then install lion again?
I tried using command R on startup to reinstall lion, but it says my disks are locked.

Re-installed ipod nano software and can't get access now

I decided to change some of my songs on my ipod nano however I messed up and deleted all my songs on my Ipod. I couldn't get the songs to download onto the nano again so I uninstalled the programme and started all over again as if I had just bought the Ipod and was setting up for the first time. Unfortunately, when I tried to start loading music again I got the message "Itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of ITunes. Can anyone tell me how I resolve this?

Try installing the current version of iTunes; if you reinstalled the original CD that came with a first generation iPod nano, it includes iTunes 6 which can't read the iTunes 7 library format.

Installing ipod software on external drive

My computer belongs to my employer - who has a "no personal files" policy. I'm looking at alternatives so that I can install a new and use a new ipod. All start-up instructions refer to the computer - presumably the hard drive. Instead, can I purchase an external hard drive and install new ipod and apple software on it to operate the ipod without ANYTHING being installed on the computer's hard drive? If so, can I also store my music library that way? Essentially I want to operate the ipod "offline" without storing any traceable files on my hard disk. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

iTunes needs to be installed on the startup disk; few Windows applications are designed for portable use. If the computer is a Mac, a higher percentage of the applications can be run from a disk other than the startup disk, but iTunes still requires system components.
Doing what you want isn't possible unless you have a full installation of Windows or Mac OS X if applicable on that drive.

Do you know of any problems or how long it takes to install?

Attempted to install AirPort Utility 6.0 on my new mac mini. Install failed and now the previous version 5.5.3 won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 AirPort Utility still won't open? Help.

Now the previous version won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 Airport Utility still won't open.
iTunes no longer recognizes my airport express.
Error Message:
None of the selected updates could be installed.
An unexpected error occurred.
Can't delete Airport Utility and reinstal from scratch as it is, “AirPort Utility” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
Any sugestions?

I reinstalled AirPort 5.5.3 which worked, but the app still won't launch but iTunes now recognizes my AirPort Express, I just hope I don't want to change its settings.

With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?

Turn the printer off.

Help installing PSE10/Premier onto Mac from PC without software CD

Help installing PSE10/Premier onto Mac from PC without software CD. I can't find my software box anywhere..... Is there a way to locate my serial number within the programs? AND how can I download the programs from your site- all I see are downloads for the new PSE 11.

You really need the DVD box which also has the serial numbers on the back. If you registered the product you can get the serial numbers by logging-in to My Adobe but that's not much help as only the current version 11 is available for download.
