Ipod 1st generation not working. I've tried the 5 R's, blinking orange.....

went to put new podcasts on it--it would only play one.
I tried to delete the podcasts and add them again--it still would only play 1.
It then was flashing an orange light at me.
I've tried resetting it.
I did the reset utility--which i thought had worked, but now still it will only play 1 podcast.
It shows as though 5 are there, but it won't play more.
I've turned it off, tried in other USB ports--no change.
I've read the section about where "windows confuses ipod with network drive" tried to rename the drive, however my ipod doesn't show up under disk management.
it only shows up for a second and then disappears.

This happens to many 1st Gen. Shuffles, me being one of them. The only thing you can do is file the warranty with Apple. Hopefully you still are under warranty!

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 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.

If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

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 not playing on RCA RS3081i audio system w/ iPod dock

I just bought an RCA RS3081i that clearly states that it can be used with iPod Touch 1st & 2nd Generation. I have followed the instructions on how to use my iPod (1st gen) but the music will not come through the speakers, only the iPod itself. It shows that it's charging so I know it's docked correctly. I have also tried using my cell phone to play mp3s through the line in and that also won't work. The speakers are set up correctly as the radio and cd player on the system works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

An update to the issue:
I just tried my friend's Video iPod in the radio and it worked perfectly.
Apparently, there is something wrong with the Shuffle itself that triggers the radio to turn off. As for what that problem is or what it is caused by, I'm still clueless.
It is probably some kind of defect which I'll have to have looked at.
The only suspicion is that, after browsing these forums for an identical problem, I found none. I just hope that this isn't something that is being transfered from computer to iPod and then on to the iH30 radio, as my security and virus protection on this laptop is weak.

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.

Ipod 1st gen not working after update

Doing a firmware update via itunes. I couldn't restore my ipod after it had finished doing the update.
The error number I got was 6. And then my iPod just didn't turn on for ages, and now it finally has and won't turn off and is stuck on a the backlit blank black background.
I went into an apple store and the man at the genius bar said because it was itunes, Apple has nada to do with it(?), and was just really unhelpful in general.
The ipod I have is a Touch 1st generation 16GB.
Would appreciate any help or advice. Thanks.

G62 Keyboard not working...tried the other forums

Hey guys,
So I'm super handicapped when it comes to computer fixing...I've always relied on my computer science school friends to fix it and most recently I've been using TeamViewer so my friend in San Diego can help fix my laptop while I'm in Canada.
I have had this G62 since 2010, so everyone says it's time for a replacement get a new one..but i LOVE the look of this one because it has that nice textured feel to the casing and in a nice metallic finish, that was the only reason I bought it aside from price. It was I either get a Dell from my friend that works there or get the HP that looks great and suited my style, and still had the same capabilities as the Dell for half the price on regular MSRP.
So the keyboard now is not functioning so I can't even log on to my laptop because it's password protected. Well, certain keys work, but specifically the "M" doesn't work and that's the first letter of my password, so when I press M it thinks its Enter. It's been intermittent like this for the past few months and I've been struggling to get my life back on track after going through 2 lay offs in 2 years so financially a new one isn't an option.
It all started with the battery not charging and overheating and causing the black screen of death...so my SD friend told me to take it out and just use the plug in thing...AC adapter I believe it's called ?
that's what I've been doing and ever since then everything's great until this keyboard incident...Now...Sometimes it does work...so when it does work then I do my thing, surf the net, type stuff up etc...and I'm a writer so this is really killing me because I need to make a website and I don't want to have to rely on going to my mom's house to use her HP desktop as I'm doing now.
So as I'm typing when it's functional, sometimes the key "w" will close the window i was currently on. or the "Y" closes the tab i was browsing...it's whacky stuff, like someone's taken over my laptop!! Please help!!! Starving artist in need of your help!
and whoever can fix this problem for me, if you want a Mazda, I'll hook you up

I suspect all you need is a new keyboard panel, they can be had for around $10USD
You should be able use your notebook by plugging in a USB keyboard as a temporary option or more permanent if you so wish, these can be had free by loan from a friend or cheap from market, garage sale & even new they can be very very cheap.
Keyboard replacement on your model is very easy & case of removing screws with keyboard symbol from base & tilting out keyboard panel to remove the keyboard flex cable (10 minute job for someone into this sort of thing)
Full instructions on keyboard removal can be found in the hp manual for your model in the support section of hp website.
You will also find youtube videos of the process which you may find helpful.
Your best option is getting one of your technically minded friends do the job & use a usb keyboard until you have sourced the replacement keyboard panel & arranged for someone help fit it.

My ipod nano will not work unless connected to the internet - what can I do

I have just downloaded music, pictures, etc., charged the battery and safely disconnected, but my ipod does not respond after the eject from I-tunes. What can I do to find out how to get it to work?

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Next, try doing a manual install/update using the instructions here:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

Voice mail indicator not working I've tried the steps in voice mail - personal options, 1 to set the indicator to on but 1 is an invalid option:

Documentation says to go into voice mail, select to change the personal options, then 1 to set the indicator on but 1 is not an option on my phone.

Okay so I did all that and I noticed that when someone calls me and my celullar data is on the voicemail registers..... when my cellular data is off and a call comes in and goes to voicemail.... it does not register until I go to call someone else then the notice comes on for as long as I am on the phone.... if I do not make a call for a few days I never know that I have a phone call. I turn off my cellular data since I only have 250MB for the month... and most of the time I am in a wifi zone....which make me wonder if my cellular data is turned on and I am in a wifi zone and should miss a call since the wifi takes over would I get the notice... I should not have this turned on all the time for the sole purpose of knowing if at some time I am in a dead zone and miss a call or not sitting right next to it.... my office is a dead zone as it is in an industrial building..... this is very disappointing especially since it was working for me at some point..... in conclusion still not working

The optical drive won't allow me to insert a CD. Thinking there maybe a CD already in and the normal eject did not work I then tried the terminal command "cdutil eject" but no CD is detected. Any suggestions? or should I just replace the drive.

I have a 4 year old Mac Book. I can't insert a CD. When I try the CD goes almost 1/2 way in and then hits something hard. Using Terminal and "cdutil eject" indicated that there was no disk in the drive.
Any sugggestions? Or should I plan on replacing the optical drive?

See if the pevious discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading More Like This help.

All of a sudden midi out to my external synth is not working. Logic shows the MIDI out blinking, but no light shows up on my interface (MOTU Fastlane). Any ideas?

The MIDI in is working fine, and Logic shows that midi events are ocurring in the channel. But the "out" light on the MOTU Fastlane interface is not blinking. If I change to a software synth the midi out works fine.
I'm sure there's a little "button" I don't have set somewhere.
Thank you,
Mark

Do the external MIDI tracks have either Port A or B of the Fastrack selected as MIDI Out?
Does this happen on all projects?
Have you changed anything lately?

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.

Touch on iPod 5 Generation wont work

The touch on my iPod 5 will not work, I have tried holding down the sleep button to make it turn off but it wont buttons work fine just the touch will not go I have tried turning my iPod 5 off the normal way but since the touch won't work I can't "Slide to Power Off" I have never dropped my device and it is only 1 week old.

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 on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
