Ipod 1st gen. shuffle. Error -31 when using reset utility
I get the -50 error "cannot read from or write to" error when trying to update my ipod, and when i use the reset utility it comes up with "error: -31"
anybody else have this problem?
what should I do?
I had the same problem.
I had a -25 Error message for about 6 retries (about 4 hours), then I got the -31 error message.
I just kept using the utility until it finally worked. I have no idea what made it work, since I did the same actions everytime.
Basically I think their strategy is to make their products not work with MS OS so that consumers think "hey, it must be MS's fault, so I should go buy a Mac."
Ironically, the fact that Apple products don't work how they are supposed to on a PC simply makes never want to buy Mac products again. Everything else for my PC works fine, except Mac products.

When I try to add songs to my iPod shuffle 1st gen, an error (-50) occurs
Hello. Each time I try to add songs from iTunes to my iPod (1st generation), an error called (-50) occurs and prevents any song from being transferred to the iPod. I have reinstalled iTunes and updated it several times, besides restoring the iPod itself before each new attempt, but the advice about that error always appears again.
Does anyone know any solution to this?
Thank you.On an XP system, we'd better check the possibilities from the following document:

Using 1st Gen Shuffle in Disk Mode
I have need for a 1Gbyte flash drive all of a sudden, and I realize my 1st Gen Shuffle fills the bill. So I reviewed the manual for using this in Disk mode, which shows a check box option to employ "disk mode" for the device.
Except that the new version of iTunes doesn't actually have that same option in it's settings anywhere. So I can still deselect "open iTunes when device inserted" option, there's no "disk mode" anywhere.
Question, then...does there need to be? Or will it now just work?

Yes there needs to be, and is: It's lower down the Settings panel. Make your iTunes window bigger by pulling the lower right corner... OR just scroll downwards. -

my ipod touch 1st gen keeps on saying when i come to download an app it says update required this app requires ios 4.3 please help
Sorry, but there is nothing you can do other than buy a newer iPod. A 1st-generation iPod touch cannot run any version of iOS later than 3.1.3 and hence cannot run any app that requires a newer version.

I can't get e-mails on iPod touch 1st gen. Error message that I have eithermy password or username is incorrect. Checked settings both are correct. Can get e-mails on iPad
Try deleting the account from the iPod and reentering the settings. It is easy to make an error and notbe able find it.

I have iTunes 7.0.2 and Mac OS X 10.4.8. My (1st-gen) shuffle is recognized and syncs older or non-DRM songs just fine, but won't sync some newer songs purchased through the iTunes Music Store. I get a message telling my to perform an update from the Summary tab.
Unfortunately, the Update and Restore buttons on the summary tab are disabled, so I can't use them. Nor can I use the iPod Updater 2.0.1 -- it never recognizes the iPod. The iPod Updater 2006-06-28 *does* recognize the iPod, but fails to recognize a software version. Likewise, the summary tab in iTunes says "n/a" for both Software Version and Serial Number. (I've tried "updating" using the 06-28 version; it tries, but gives me an error.)
How can I update this thing? I'd like to have my newer music on my iPod.I downloaded and tried the Shuffle Reset Utility, but it couldn't restore the shuffle. I received an error message saying "No Firmware."
However, I went to my wife's Windows computer, downloaded the Shuffle reset utility, and it worked fine, there. In fact, the Shuffle worked flawlessly with Windows (I was able to sync it with my wife's iTunes library, etc).
I thought -- great, back in business! However, when I returned to the Mac and tried to sync with my own music library, I have the same problems; the Shuffle's version, serial number, et cetera isn't recognized, I can't sync newer songs, et cetera.
Obviously, the Shuffle isn't the problem. Also, the Shuffle worked fine with my Mac before the latest iTunes update; I'm beginning to think it's a Mac software issue with the update. The other possibility is a connection issue, but I've tried all the direct USB ports on the computer, and also a powered hub (also, the fact that the Shuffle worked fine, before, makes me think that the connection probably isn't the issue).

Two 1st gen shuffles; one comp
ok here's my problem; i have a first gen ipod shuffle.(the long skinny white one) it works fine had it for 2 months. i bought my son the same 1st gen shuffle for xmas. I went to install the cd; it removed the 1st installation from when i installed my shuffle. so i reinstalled. it won't recognize the second shuffle (my son's) AT ALL. i restored it using the restore utility download; no help. the new shuffle is still plugged in orange light. doesnt show up in itunes or on my computer.
also when i registered the new shuffle the serial code wasnt accepted, so i had to use the MP code on the box, then it shows me the serial number, which is the exact number i entered.
my question is: can you run two shuffles on one computer, on one itunes, and just have the program recognize the two different shuffles? how? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!For running Multiple iPods please look to this article.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
As For trying to install the CD to the Shuffle, Make sure that you are running the latest version of Itunes.
1. Click Help in iTunes
2. Click About Itunes
The Version number will be the first thing you see scrolling up the page. if you are not Running 7.0.2 then Download latest software and try to sync ipod once again.

1st gen shuffle with radar detector
I used to connect my radar detector and mp3 player together so that the sound would play out of the same place. I've recently acquired a 1st gen shuffle and it won't play correctly when connected with the radar. Neither max volume or sound check are enabled in the settings. What's up with this?
No idea. It has no speaker to play sounds.

I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen? Error code 1416, any help?
When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives. If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?
