Ipod first generation

i am just in the process of buying and ipod first gen. The problem is i have a windows commputer not a mac, and that ipod was formated for just mac. now i hurd that there is some kind of way that you can make the first gen compatiable with windows. Also i kno you have to use a firewire cable for this ipod. Can u just use a regular usb cord for the other ipods that i have? if not where can i get the firewire cords at?

Where may I acquire a cable that will allow me to connect my Firewire iPod to, say, a computer with USB?
None exists. The only method I've seen which might work is to use this component and a FireWire ExpressCard.
how will I go about 'setting up' my (used) iPod on my computer?
Connect it to the computer, and if prompted, go through the iPod Setup Assistant.

  • IPod First Generation Song Order Problem

    Equipment Specs:
    IPOD -- First Generation, 1 G size, Firmware ver # 1.1.5
    ITunes -- Ver # 7.2.0.34
    Problem
    I recently updated to the above version of ITunes. I also recently reset/erased all my songs (no podcasts or nothing else)from my IPOD.
    I then reloaded just songs to my pod using the drag and drop method from the music file. I then re-arranged the songs in my desired order.
    I then disonnected the pod and exited ITunes.
    When I later restarted ITunes with the pod connected, my song order had changed. With the pod still open in ITunes, I am no longer able to change the play order position. As say, move song #45 to position #2 and etc.
    Has something changed as I was always able to do this prior to updating ITunes and the pod ?
    Was this caused by updating ITunes to the newest version?
    Is there a solution to be able to manage the order of your songs as before ?
    Thx

    OK, When I am trying to do this, I see the following
    columns
    1. name
    2. time artist and so on
    In the name column the songs are numbered.
    I've been referring to the UNlabeled column to the LEFT
    of the "Name" column all this time... you seem to not be able to recognize that there actually IS such column according to your description.
    I'm referring to the numbers on the LEFT side as in this image:

    When I try and move 9 to 5 or whatever there is no
    horizontal line as I have seen in previous versions.
    I know how I accomplished this task before and it is
    not working in this version.
    Would it work to revert back to an earlier version of
    Itunes ?
    Dunno... from what I've read in the iTunes discussions
    this problem has not appeared there.
    BUT you CAN delete iTunes 7.2 and then go to http://filehippo.com/download_itunes and download 7.1.1 (under Old Versions in box on right side of page)
    Install it and see if it solves the problem...
    What version are you using ?
    7.1.1(5)

    My iPod (first generation) cannot connect to the app store nor iTunes. What can I do so that it can connect and I can install apps or music once more? Also, when I go on the internet and try to search solutions, it freezes and I have to hold the power button for 20 seconds for it to go to lock screen. Any solutions?

    Safari does work, right?

  • I have a nano ipod first generation and I am havng a problem syncing it to my computer. It won't sync.

    I have an iPod nano first generation and I am having trouble syncing it to my computer. My email address is [email protected]

  • I have an old iPod, first generation. I want to play a friend's music thru my Bose radio. I've emptied my iPod to my itunes library to allow space on the iPod. Question is: Can my friend put his music on a flash drive and somehow transfer to my computer.

    I have an old iPod. First generation. I want to play a friend's music thru my Bose radio at an upcoming party.   (already use my Pod w/the radio). Ive emptied my iPod to my itunes library to make more room for additional music.
    Question: Can I somehow download my friend's playlist - which is on a flashdrive, transfer it to my itunes and then transfer to the iPod??

    If the Apple Store Genuis says you can't sync music from an audio CD to your iPod (because it's too old), he or she is not much of a "genius." 
    That question is not even related to your iPod.  First step is to "rip" the music CD into your iTunes library.  Once the songs on the CD are in your iTunes library, they are like any other songs in your library, and you can sync them to your iPod as desired.  This article seems to do a good job of describing how to rip CDs
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1156861/howto_rip_cds.html
    NOTE:  When you insert a music CD, it appears in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  If you do not see the sidebar (along left side of window), from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    It was the context of your original question, not the actual task.  You can easily add songs files that are on a flash drive to your iTunes library.  Open a window that shows the flash drive contents.  Drag the song files from that window to the iTunes window, and drop them on your iTunes Music library.  Or, use the command
    iTunes menu bar -> File -> Add to Library...
    NOTE:  Open your iTunes preferences, Advanced tab.  If the checkbox for Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library is NOT checked, those songs from the flash drive will only be accessible (for playing and syncing) when the flash drive is connected.

  • Ipod first generation recall

    Under the ipod recall for first generation nano that was recently sent out if I have an ipod with 4GB will Apple send a replacement 4GB or only a replacement 1GB? Thanks. Katy

    They will send a replacement of the same generation and capacity.  So you would get a 4 GB 1G iPod Nano in return.

  • IPod First Generation sudden pause during playback

    Whn i am playing AIFF files with my 1st generation iPod, it will have a sudden pause in the middle of the playback.
    Angus

    Hi Woody,
    i want you to follow few steps
    1) fully charge the ipod and then see if the symptoms reoccur
    2)if it does, no point in resetting the ipod... instead update the computer with the latest ipod softwarre updater and restore the ipod with it..the contents of the ipod will be deleted you have to redownload them from your computer...now see if the problem reoccurs
    3)if yes then you have to walk in to a nearest apple store maybe your ipod needs a service...no need to jump to conclusion that the ipod isnt working first follow the steps...
    Regards,
    Sam

  • Can i get apps on an ipod first generation

    i have just got an ipod 1st gen for my littleboy but cant down load apps as it keeps telling us we need to update to 3.0 version does that mean you can only down load apps to a 3rd gen

    You need to update the iOS on the iPod.  The last update for the 1G iPod is 3.1.3 and you can get it here.  It is a paid update.  You may have to uses a different browser to geet the sublink to work properly.

    Hello giolicious,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried restoring the iPod via iTunes? If not, that would be your next step. Otherwise, if no luck with that process, your iPod may need to be serviced in order to gain full functionality again.

  • Ipod first gen. has horizontal lines going across the screen. What should i do?

    My iPod first generation has horizontal lines going accross the screen and sometimes the screen goes completely white. How do I fix that?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order
