Ipod Nano (1st Gen) no longer connects at usb 2.0 speeds

I have had my nano since it was released almost 2 years ago. When I got it, it connected to my computer (running Win XP) at usb 2.0 speeds, however about 5 months ago, it stopped connecting at this speed and only connected at 1.1 speeds causing very slow updates. I assumed it was my old computer and lived with it. However I just bought a new computer, running windows vista, that has all usb 2.0 ports. I finally tried to connect my ipod this week (I waited until the new ITunes was released), and on the new computer it still connects at USB 1.1. I get the message in windows that says it could operate faster if connected to a usb 2.0 port. I have tried all usb ports on the computer, tried restoring the ipod to factory settings, rebooted, etc, but it still only connects at the slow speed. All other devices I have connect at USB 2.0, except the Ipod. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? Does anyone know a solution?

Yes you have a one year warranty from the date of purchase from Apple. Go to this link and on the bottom right hand side it will ask you to enter your serial number and will tell you if you are still under warranty. http://www.apple.com/support/
If you are you can take it to a Apple store, or request service online here http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
If it is out of warranty you can google a third party service provider and get it serviced out of warranty. There are two that I know of that provide free diagnostic service. You only pay for shipping and they will tell you what is wrong and what it will cost to fix. They are ifixipodsfast.com and ipodmods.com but there are others also (I just have no experience with them) Good luck and as was stated it should charge from your usb. and just for grins, look at the docking connector on your ipod and see if there is any obstruction that is obvious.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen freezes when connected to usb.

    Hello.I have ipod nano 6th generation.When i connect it to usb it shows Connected screen and freezes until I do reset and nothing shows in windows or itunes.I dont know what to do,searching about 2 hours for fix.:(

    Do you know if other people have the same problem? Maybe your car (stereo) is incompatible with the iPod? Do you have to restore it or do you can use it anyway after a freeze? If no, make a reset before restoring it) I'm sure the cable/adapter isn't the problem.
    And with the "glowing center" - you mean the Apple Logo, right?

  • IPod Nano, 1st gen., won't connect with XP

    I have a 1 GB black 1st generation iPod Nano. The screen recently broke, so I had to send it in for servicing and they sent me a new one. My old iPod Nano worked perfectly with iTunes and Windows XP. Now, when I try to connect my new one, I guess that since it has a different Serial Number, iTunes nor Windows will recognize it. I called the Apple company, hoping they could help me, but they couldn't and said it was a Microsoft problem. My iPod will charge and everything, it's just that when I try to use the iPod CD, my computer won't recognize the CD either. If you have any suggestions, please post them. I can't wait till I can use my iPod again!

    The iPod Nano only has A2DP (stereo bluetooth) AVRCP (controls) and low power Bluetooth profiles. It does not have File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and cannot connect to your phone.

  • My Ipod Nano 6th Gen doesn't connect to USB.

    When I connect my Ipod to the USB port it says 'USB device not recognized'. I can't find any help online. I am using Windows 8. I used to use it on my old laptop that ran on windows 7.

  • IPod Nano 1st Gen not connecting to my computer

    My friend's iPod Nano 1st Gen won't connect to my computer (i have previsily added songs to it since last month) and now my iTunes won't show that ipod on my devices lists (I did NOT update iTunes because of the problems other people were getting)..... it will charge on my computer but WON'T sync....... WHATS UP WITH THAT???
    THANKS IN ADVANCE TO THOSE THAT HELP.

    Could be any number of reasons.  One of them just may be your refusal to update iTunes.  Just because others are having issues does not mean you'll have them!

  • Ipod nano (1st gen) not charging/not showing up on computer or itunes

    I recieved a 2GB ipod nano (1st gen) as a gift back in December 2005. It's worked fine until recently. Yesterday, I tried to charge my ipod. However, when I connected my ipod to my power adapter to charge it nothing happened. The charging symbol didn't even show on the screen. So then I tried plugging it in to my laptop computer. Same result: nothing happened and worse still, it didn't even show up on My Computer or in iTunes. I then tried connecting it to our regular computer. Same result as the laptop and still no charging icon. I tried my 2nd generation nano thinking that maybe something was wrong with the USB cable or with the power adapter but it worked fine with everything. I also tried another cable. But still nothing worked. I've tried the 5 R's thing but it didn't work. I even tried leaving my ipod alone for awhile to no result. Finally I tried putting it into Disk Mode and that's where it is now. I've tried to run through the steps again with this but it didn't work. So now it's in Disk Mode and it needs to be charged but I don't know how to do it. I'm starting to think that I just need to get the battery replaced. Unless someone else has a fix that will work?? Please help!!

    It sounds like the port or cable is having a problem. First try a different cable.
    If the cable doesn't fix things then try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit) then see if the iPod will show up.

  • Evenutually received the packaging for recalled ipod nano 1st Gen

    Well after submitting a request to return the ipod nano 1st gen on the 13th November 2011 and waiting all this time, I eventually received the packaging today!
    I have been on the phone 3 times with Apple since then and this Wednesday decided to ring them again and the woman who I spoke to submitted a brand new request, as she said that I should have had the packaging well before now.  She then said with submitting a new request that I would receive the packaging within 48 hours, which I have .  I have just been to the post office (I live in the UK) and sent it off.  It was so simple.  There was a padded envelope and a plastic envelope and all you had to do was post the nano (nothing else) in the padded evelope, seal it, then put it in the plastic evelope and seal that.  You had to check the senders address (My address) was correct on the front of the plastic envelope, which was just printed up from the address that it was going to.  Then just take it to the post office and had it in and then they give you a receipt for it.
    So now it's just waiting for the Nano 6th generation to be sent to me, which I was told I would be getting .
    So if anyone has still not received their packaging, ring them up and submit a brand new request, if you have been waiting as long as I have and you should get the packaging quickly.  They must have ran out of the boxes that they were originally sending to put the nano in.

    Hi Addicbaddic,
    Here is a link to the Apple page that shows all of the iPod Nano generations. You will be able to see which one is yours and compare it to the 5th gen....

  • Ipod nano 1st gen not syncing

    My ipod nano 1st gen is not syncing properly. When I plug it in and itunes starts up, it begins the syncing process, but gets stuck midway through. I have it set to only sync checked songs and a specific playlist. Also, it still has enough memory. Cannot get it to sync and stays busy so long i cannot eject because computer is busy syncing! I've also tried to reset and restore, but it wouldn't restore because it was busy syncing!! Help please!

    I have the same problem. I have an Ipod Nano 1st generation that won't sync also. I tried downgrading Itunes version and that didn't work. I installed the latest Itunes and firmware but I'm still having the problem.
    The only solution I have found is to reset the ipod, then do a restore in itunes then run the sync. It works then once and you will need to do it again everytime you sync otherwise it won't sync. It is rather disapointing considering that the Ipod is supposed to be a premium product.

  • Apple may charge $100+ just to look at iPod Nano (1st gen)?

    I got the iPod Nano 1st gen replacement program email. My nano hasn't been working for quite some time, even when I plug it in to my computer so I figured this would be a great deal. I typed in the serial # online and Apple emailed me saying "Our initial diagnosis indicates that because your product replacement will likely be covered by the warranty, an AppleCare Protection Plan, or another Apple repair or exchange program, there should be no charge to you for the service performed. If we have questions or concerns regarding the repair coverage, we will notify you"
    After reading further into the email, it says that Apple might charge a diagnostic fee of $100 if the problem isn't battery related (*** kind of rip off is that?!). I'm pretty sure the battery is gone, but I don't know if I am willing to gamble $100 on it. I payed $200 for it in spring/summer 06 so it fits the Replacement Program criteria. Do they just expect people to be cool with the fact that they could be charged a bill for it? I know thewarranty is long gone but ****...makes me more skeptical about buying anything from Apple again. Should I send it in or just throw it away?

    see my thread about this..
    called the 800# about the same issue you have.
    see below:
    ***UPDATE****
    Spoke to APPLE SUPPORT
    They said that they are asking for these nanos as part of a replacement program.
    They assured me that the fee does NOT apply
    Replacements may be refurbished models
    Look for APPLE to provide updated customer communication
    thanks

  • Ipod Nano 1st Gen Recall

    So i requested a Ipod Nano 1st gen replacement because i have one for the replacement program. How long does it take for the New ipod to arrive? If you did the replacement how long did it take?

    I got email today from Apple telling me that my replacement Nano its on the way. They gave me a serial number for new model. I checked online and its a 1st gen Nano, not newer version what some people were hoping for. To be honest I love 1st gen design, and if I get another 5 years out of it with new battery then happy times. 

  • For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

    For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

    8GB. Nice little unit when used by itself. BUT don't even think about connecting to any docks or other third party interfaces 'cause IT AIN"T GONNA WORK RIGHT!
    Both of my Pioneer car stereos have the same problem with both of my 6th generation iPod Nanos:
    The first time you connect the iPod, the radio recognizes the it and works. BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN THE RADIO ON THE DISPLAY FREEZES. The only way to get it working is to disconnect the dock connector from the iPod and reconnect it. THIS ***** AND IS NOT THE WAY THESE UNITS BEHAVED WITH MY 1ST GENERATION NANO. Both of my new 6th generation ipods have been restored (several times) and have the latest firmware which, as of this writing is 1.2 and still the problem persists.
    My two Pioneer car stereos that don't work right with the iPod Nano 6th generation:
    Pioneer DEH-P4900iB
    CD-i200 iPod cable for above
    Scion XB iPod enabled head unit T1808
    I've made an AppleCare adviser aware of the problem but I doubt that this information will ever make it to engineering so I don't have much hope that this will ever be fixed.
    I would suggest that all 6th generation Nano users check it's compatibility with any third party interfaces they have and report their findings on this discussion board. Perhaps we can get Apple to FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.
    Apple are you listening??

  • Hi I was just wondering, if my iPod nano's serial number says that it is eligible, but its screen is not working, am I still eligibile for the iPod nano 1st gen replacement?

    Hi I was just wondering, if my iPod nano's serial number says that it is eligible, but its screen is not working, am I still eligibile for the iPod nano 1st gen replacement?

    Yes. They'll still replace your iPod. Several users have indicated that they have returned damaged iPods and were still given a replacement iPod.

    Thank you deggie to answer me . You know, I don't know much of computers and of technology but when I bought that ipod back when  they came out 2005 I was able to download music from my CDs and from Youtube to itunes then transfer to my ipod and back and forth to itunes .  Then if I had changed of computer I was able to transfer to that new computer.Why I'm not able to do it ? There is a program(Sharepod) that allow to do that but it cost $35.00 but I thought that was free or it is because that now I have to buy from itunes only?

  • My ipod nano 7th gen no longer shows "Playlists" in the music menu. No changes made other than deleting one and adding one playlist to those synced. Synced fine in late February. Not working as of 3/7/2014.

    I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
