Ipod 1st generation (1 G) no longer recoginzed by firewire

I just upgraded from OSX 10.3.9 Panther to OSX 10.4.4 Tiger.
Now, as I have read in many places, my iPod is not recognized when I plug it into my TiBook.
It used to work.
It still charges.
It still plays.
But my songs don't syncronize with iTunes.
I have read that others have this problem too, possibly associated with software updates.
Since I jumped from 10.3.9 straight to 10.4.4 I have no experence whether Tiger supported recognizing the iPod.
My iTunes 5.x is the same I used on Panther and it worked. But no joy now.
My iPod does not even show up in Disk Utilities though I would not expect it too without it actually mounting anyway.
So here is one more little voice feeling unfairly dictated upon.
Remember the jump from QuickTime 6.x.x to 7.x. If you had paid for the pro version you lost it with the jump to version 7. There was no warning, only a belated note I had to search for that the version 6.x could be reinstalled. At least that was nice.
Guess if Apple could do it to a paid upgrade to quicktime they can do it to free iTunes and a paid for iPod.
I think the market of 1G iPods is small enough for that slight bit of non-joy to happen.
over the years more than 20 Macs and 3 PCs   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   TiBook Powerbook G4 1GHz

Well miracle of miracles its back after the last update.
Musta'binna'bug!
I don't care why.
I am happy to be back online with my ancient iPod.
Thanks for the time.

  • 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.

  • IPod 1st Generation Logic Board

    Hi!
    My 5GB iPod 1st Generation's logic board finally gave out. I'm having trouble locating a replacement board. Does anyone know where to get a new or used one other than iFixit (out of stock)? I need one just like iFixit's: Complete with the firewire port, and a not chipped headphone jack.
    Thank you and I greatly appreciate it.
    -Brian Skorski

    Brian,
    I may be in the same boat as you and I did Google 1st gen logic boards and didn't find much, except for WLM. They are pretty high. I thought maybe they would be cheaper for the really old ipods.
    I wrote a post about my own 1st gen 10gb ipod on how my dome imac no longer reads my ipod but yet it charges the battery. I replaced the battery on mine after it died thinking it would fix everything but it didn't. ipod plays music just fine, but i can no longer load anymore new music to it. So I checked into replacement logic boards. If I do not purchase a new logic board, I'll probably just buy a new ipod (I want to anyway)

    i locked my Ipod 1st generation in zombie farm went to the toilet came back tried to unlock it but i cant screen was blank i have tried everything please help

    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?

  • Ipod 1st generation no sound

    any ideas how to fix an ipod 1st generation. all works fine but no sound from the earphones(no external speakers)

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself
    I is likely not worth it to get the iPod fixed.

    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 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

    - 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.

  • Ios 5 on ipod 1st generation?

    Hiya. I would like to download some apps, but it always says that my ipod needs to download ios 5 or ios4.3 on my ipod touch 1st generation. I would really like to download this ios 5, but I don't know how. I hope it is able to be downloaded on ipod touch 1st generation. I am a happy customer and I love my ipod, I just want to be able to have some apps. Please make it possible to download ios 5 on my ipod 1st generation. I don't think it is fair that people with the ipod touch 1st generation cannot download the ios 5. If this could please be downloaded on the older generation ipod I would be a even happier customer. Apart form this I am happy with everything else on Apple. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    The 1st generation can not be upgraded beyond iOS 3.1.3
    The 2nd generation can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1

  • IPod 1st Generation Replacement

    Hi
    I returned my 1st Generation iPod to apple in December and it was collected from my home address by UPS.  I am English but live in France.  I had an email last week saying that it had been repaired and shipped.  They provided me with a shipping tracking reference which when you click on the link, it says invalid web address.
    They stated a 2 day delivery which has long since passed and I have no product and no tracking facility.
    The email came from a 'no reply at Apple' address and I have no way of finding out who to contact and where.  I believe it was shipped to Holland for repair.
    Does anybody know of an easy way to contact apple because I am about to blow my top trying to sort this out.
    When you go on the status of repair page it states shipped and if I try to get on line assistance it says the 90 day period has expired!!!  That is for the replacement serial number.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Apple uses the Repair ID as a refference number for UPS shipping. Go to the UPS site and track by refference number sighting your repair ID. I've heard instances where Apple are missing a number in the tracking info they send out to customers. Hope this helps.

  • Ipod 1st generation not charging

    Hi,
    I've an ipod shuffle (1st generation) that is not charging, the shuffle is seen by my system and I was able to update it 1.1.4 firmware version today( I also restored it), but when the shuffle is connected to the high-power USB port it lights with the amber light to indicate that it's charging. However it never turns green and on removing it after >4hrs there is no activity from it and the battery indicator light does not light. It is out of warranty now so I was thinking of replacing the battery myself, however the fact that it's not charging at all would give me doubts that it may not be the battery and might be related to the circuit board.
    Anybody seen this symptom before?
    Paddy

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How can I keep an iPod 1st Generation from shutting completely off when I leave it for more than 1 minute?

    Well, my friend and I just received this 1st generation iPod Touch from a man at our church. He said we could sell it. However, it has some problems. For example, when I leave it alone, it cuts off completely, Then, I have to hold the home and power button for about ten seconds so the Apple symbol will come on the screen and I then know that it is coming on. Can someone help me with the problem?

    You should connect it to a computer running iTunes, and do a Restore.
