IPod 1st generation....did I waste my money?

I just purchased an iPad 1st generation and can't install very many,if any apps from the app store because of the iOS not being 6 or 7. There doesn't seem to be a way to upgrade the iOS. Any helpful advice or did I just waste my money?

The first gen iPad only supports up to iOS 5.1.1 - is that what you have (Settings > General > About > Version) ?
Some developers allow you to download previous compatible versions of their apps. If it's a free app then try downloading the current version of it on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your account's purchase history, and then on your iPad see if you can download a previous compatible version via the Purchased tab in the App Store app. If it's a paid-for app then try contacting the app's developer first (there should be a link to their website on the app's description page in the store) and see if that will work for their app - don't just buy it just in case they don't support it.

The replacement shipment of my iPod 1st generation did not arrive and I can not trace the shipment. Who can I contact?

I received an email that the replacement of my IPOD NANO was shipped. It was supposde to arrive at my address in France within two working days. Now, we are 4 weeks later and the shipment has still not arrived. There is a tracking number in the email but it does not have a link. I do not know which express delivery service is supposed to deliver. How can I verify the shipment? Who can I contact for help to track the delivery or resend the replacement product?

Thanks for the advice. I contacted the expresslane service and have to admit that it works very well. They call you back immediately! I have contacted them already three times: unfortunately, the first person gave me a wrong tracking information, the second person was "technical" and asked me to call during business hours. Number 3 was helpful and told me that the shipping by French postal service might take 5-6 weeks (and not the 2 days as announced in the e-mail I had received). So, I still have to wait and contact them again if the replacement iPod does not arrive in the coming days ... We will see!

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?

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.

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)

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 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.

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.

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

Did I waste my money?

ok so i bought the Isight a few months back and have yet to use it. I am an AOL user so I have a aol account. I want to go on line and meet people and have video chats with the people I meet. is this possible and how? are there certain groups or chats that are exlcusive to isight members? can i only do this by meeting other Ichat users with i sights? I have almost given up on this thing. it is my least favorite apple purchase. please advise.

Tony,
I want to help you get your money's worth with regards to your recent iSight web cam purchase. No you did not waste your money. In time it will be one of the most valuable tools on your computer. But you do have to configure it properly for it to work.
Please provide a few more details:
1. Confirm your current OS. Is it X.4? If it is, you may want to consider updating to the most current OS.
2. Have you set up an AIM account? If not, then you need to do this. (see Ralph Johns' posts on how to do this or refer to the readme, or ichat help menu).
3. What happens when you start up the computer, and then plug in the camera after it is booted up? Does ichatav launch by itself (yes/no)? If not then set your pref's up accordingly under ichat "video".
4. Also set your video pref's in ichat to "none".
5. How are you connected to the internet? Is it via airport or ethernet? Airport works ok but it can be slightly more problematic than a direct ethernet connection.
iChat AV mandates a high speed connection. For example I use cox cable HS (coaxial) at about 4 mb/sec.
6. Also check Ralph Johns' site for a list of places where you can test you web cam. He mentions all of them. But if you still can't find then, then feel free to test with me via AIM: SDMacuser1
7. Depending on how your system is connected to the internet, it may be necessary to address certain port settings if you are unable access ichatav. For example, i use a toshiba pcx2500 cox cable modem. That in turn is connected to a Belkin Gateway 4 port roughter (which mandates i address certain ports for ichatav to work properly... like port 5060) You may have to do likewise in a similar situation. It just depends on your own setup.
Give us as many details as possible on how your system connects to the internet so we can further troubleshoot with you.
It all sounds complicated but with a few simple steps, in time your system will be up and working as expected.
Good Luck

IPod 1st Generation Touch- System Restore from Recovery Mode

My iPod Touch 1st Generation worked fine one day and the next day all it would do is disply the little white "Apple" and then go black. It was fully powered. I opened my Itunes account and connected the iPod. Nothing. Then I saw on a previous discussion board to hold the power and home button at the same time while hook to my computer. A graphic of the usb cord and Itunes appeared, and the Itunes account recognized the device but said it was in "Recovery Mode" and in order to have it work again I would need to allow for a system restore. So I did. It seemed to go through the process and then tried to re-sync. It has now been "syncing" for over an hour. It is stuck. I can not do anything, even if I disconnect the iPod from the computer. I have no idea what to do, I am super frusterated. My iTunes account seems to be locked and have not made any progress with the iPod of getting past any other graphic other grapic besides the usb/iTunes picture. Please help if possible.
Also, since it is a 1st generation, I recently upgrade the OS to the only allow upgade however, I am not sure which one it was. This is the first problem I have had with my iPod. Apologize for the lack of specifics.
Thanks much in advance.

Close iTunes and disconnect the iPod from the computer. Reboot the computer. Then try to restore again.
- Try as necessary:
- A reset.
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.
- Placing the iPod in
Recovery mode
- Placing the iPod in DFU mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Both those modes require that you turn the iPod fully off. If you can't do that let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset.and restore again.
- If still not successful time for an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
