IPhone: 1st generation vs. 2nd generation

Are there any significant difference between the 1st generation and 2nd generation iPod touch? Just wondering.

Yes.
1. Internal speaker, so you can hear without headphones.
2. Physical volume buttons.
3. Support for microphone, which will work with Apple's new [In-Ear Headphones|http://www.apple.com/ipod/inearheadphones>
4. Comes with software version 2.1.1
5. Contoured shape like the iPhone 2g.
Regards.

IPhone 1st Generation Apple Logo Loop

My Problem: The past few years I've been having a problem with my iPhone 1st Generation.
What's Been Happening: My iPhone has been going into a "Apple Logo Loop"
What I've Been Doing: I've been looking up what I should do. The same thing has been coming up "On the iPhone hold Start/Sleep button and Home button, keep holding it until the Apple Logo shows up. Release both buttons then." I've been doing that but nothing's been happening. What I mean is... the iPhone screen is black. Then, I hold the Power button at the top right until I see the Apple Logo. As I see it, I still hold the Power button but then hold the Home button as well. After that, the screen goes black and then it turns back on. Then, I see the Apple Logo with a little loading sign in the middle, like it's trying to start up. Finally, it just turns off again. Every time I try, it does the same thing. Once, it came up with telling me to plug it into the computer, but then it quickly disappeared. I've also tried to put it into DFU Mode, but it seems that something is blocking it from doing so. It turns off but it seems that something is forcing it to turn back on.
HELP!: I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm not sure if it's completely dead and nothing can fix it. I took it to a place to see if they could to attempt to fix it but they failed to do so. If anybody can please be out there and help me that would be completely great. If you do reply, I might not reply back right away, but I will reply sometime during that day.
Thanks

P.S. This is my first time making a post, so I might've done something wrong in the processing...

Hey there,
It sounds like the phone keeps rebooting on its own even during a restore. I would try resetting the device while it is connected to a power source:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the issue persists, I would put the device into recovery mode with the following article and attempt the restore 1 more time:

IPhone 1st Generation

Where can i find iPhone 1st Generation cases?
I need a case for my old iphone.

kitycat714,
There are plenty of cases for the original iPhone still on the Apple Store Online: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopiphone/iphoneaccessories/cases?n=iphone1&mco=MTI4MTM3Ng&s=topSellers
As long as it names "iPhone" under the "This accessory is compatible with the following" portion, it should work with the original. If not, it will explicitly display "iPhone 3G". As always, if there is any doubt, it's best to contact the manufacturer of the case to inquire.
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

I've just been offered the first iphone (1st Generation) which was released some time ago, in which and what way will I be underhanded.

You will get no use out of this phone and wont be able to use itunes either
I don't know why you say that. Many people are still quite happily using first-generation iPhones. They are very limited in the carrier support - EDGE only as Tim said - and the apps available are few now, but the phones still work and serve their original purpose.
That said, I certainly wouldn't buy one. Used iPhone 3G and even 3GS units are available quite affordably and are much more flexible.

IPhone 1st generation question

When iphones update to the 3.0 for picture messaging and etc. do first generation iphones still not have picture messaging because mine doesnt and im still using my email for sending pictures.

The problem is that Apple simply isn't adding it in to the 1st generation iPhone. The phone is more than capable of doing so and there are ways to enable the 1st generation iPhone to do MMS on the internet (google). In the future there will be even more features left off the 1st generation because well, Apple wishes you would upgrade every year, it's how they make money.

Help, Simcard fault with Iphone 1st generation

Dear all..
I purchased a Iphone first generation 4gb from someone.
It is a USA model, but the previous owner already used a different sim card in it.
But now when I want to put in my card, it doesn't work.
What can I do?

This means the previous owner hacked the iPhone.
Hacking an iPhone for any reason is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone and is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via these discussions. You will get no help here with a hacked iPhone.
Contact the previous owner for help and support with this.

Iphone 1st generation and iphone 3g

If i have the iphone for more then 1 year am i elegible for having the iphone 3g for 199. and 299.

If you have a first generation iPhone that is activated with AT&T and especially for more than a year paying the $20/mo unlimited data plan, you should qualify for upgrade pricing on a new phone including the iPhone 3G.
Login to your account via AT&T's website to confirm the upgrade eligibility status for your account or line/number.

A/V Component cables no longer able to work with iPhone 1st Generation?

I purchased the Apple A/V Component cables to be able to hook my iPhone up to my stereo at work and TV at home. Before the 2.0.1 update, it worked ok. No hassles or problems what so ever. Now, after the 2.0.1 update, I can no longer use this device for what it seems it was made for. It seems that now it's a $50 iPhone charger and that's about it. Anyone know of any fix or maybe something I did to make this happen? I called Apple and they said "that's odd, it should be working" and then asked if I could bring it in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems it's not just the A/V Component cables that aren't working with the new upgrade. Apparently some other people have had issues with docking stations and speaker extensions after the upgrade. Anyone?

IPhone (1st generation) not syncing all emails

IPad and iPhone Remote app no longer see my AppleTV (1st Generation)

For months, I've been using the Remote app from my iPad to control my first generation AppleTV. When I got an iPhone 4 and got the Remote app for it, I tried to do the same thing, but now AppleTV will not recognize my iPhone 4, and no longer recognizes my iPad. All it will allow me to use is the ****** little remote that came with it.
How do I fix this?
Notes:
AppleTV is synchronized with my iTunes library
Home Sharing on the PC is turned on
Remote App tells me to "turn on home sharing on the AppleTV from the Computers section of the Settings menu" but no such option exists.

AppleTV1 doen't use Home Sharing. Try this:
Apple TV (1st generation)
Connect iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the local network that your Apple TV also connected to.
Open the Remote app on your mobile device.
Select Add an iTunes Library in the Remote settings screen. Remote will then display a 4 digit passcode.
On Apple TV, select Settings from the main menu, select General and then Remotes.
Select the name of your iPhone or iPod touch.
Enter the 4 digit passcode. Use the volume up/down keys on the Apple Remote (Infrared) to change the number that is displayed and the track next/back keys to switch digits.
Click Done.
Remote app will be paired with Apple TV and you can begin browsing your library using Remote and select a piece of content to play.

My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

I had the same thing happen to me. It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library". This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty. Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing. Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices. If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
I spent an hour with an Apple Genius. he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system. His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system. I suspect that this won't solve it.
The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

1st generation iPhone and Early Termination Fee

Hello all, here's a question, since it was announced that AT&T will no longer share revenue with Apple does this now mean that owners of the unsubsidized 1st generation iphone will be able to get out of their 2 year contracts early without a Early Termination Fee?

More than likely, yes.
The first generation iPhone was not subsidized in the traditional way, as the iPhone 3G will be subsidized.
at&t did not provide a subsidy or a discount to you on the sales price of the first generation iPhone.
I became an at&t subscriber 3-4 months prior to the iPhone being available. I selected a phone that was subsidized by at&t agreeing to a new two year contract. I activated my iPhone as an existing subscriber agreeing to a new two year contract on my iPhone's activation date. I was not charged an early contract termination fee or any penalty when doing so, and I still have my original phone that was subsidized by at&t which I've used with my iPhone's SIM card on occasion.
The same should apply when purchasing the iPhone 3G, which will require agreeing to a new two year contract beginning on the activation date for the 3G iPhone with no early contract termination fee penalty for the existing iPhone - which was not subsidized in the traditional way as the iPhone 3G will be subsidized.

How do I get my photos off 1st generation itouch? I have macbook pro, ipad, iphone. Itouch syncs but does not have option to share in any capacity ie send via email, etc. Also, the computer from which photos were originally taken from has crashed.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Did you fail to back up your pics?
The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.
