Ipod nano 1st generation with SW1.3.1  doesn´t work properly

as a positive thinking person I followed the recomendations in iTunes 7.5.. and downloaded SW 1.3.1 on my 1st generation nano. The consequnce was that this dammed thing now frequently stops playing(every few minutes max. 15 min). It either jumps back to the main menue and I have to start the song again or it freezes and I have to boot ( middle + menue key) or it reboots by itself.
Have gone through all the 5Rs and the online service, tried to send a message to service, but this was not available and the message was gone. I do not find an older SW version. After hours I am really pi...
Had functional problems during warranty period. Sent it in with new SW it worked properly until last weekend......
Can anyone help. Has anyone made similar experience?

Hello Forum Users et al,
I know this Updated Post follows shortly after my previous post, but I have a useful piece of info. that others may wish to check on.
I have been using a video:  www.video.com/12348372 as my test case for which the video comes on and then proceeds to not work.  If I click on the "arrow" in the bottom left corner of the video, the video screen goes "black" and nothing happens immediately.  But, here is the important information.  If I wait, then the video reappears, but sounds alternately starts and stops.
What I did for the last several hours was to minimize the email containing the video, and I noticed that the sound alternately came on and off.  But, after over two hours, the video started to play normally (total time for video is about 4 mins.)  When it gets to the end, the original "start arrow" appears.  I have repeatedly played this video after the two-hour period of erratic play, and it played normally.
This event happened one time over a week ago when I was on "Live Chat" with Adobe FP.  I was reporting my problem with FP with Mang Son while I had the video minimized, and, embarrassingly, the video started to work normally!  What could I say?!  I told him essentially that it looked like it was working, and I closed it out.  However, after this, I closed the email containing the video and tried to open the video from scratch, again.  Once again, it started to play erratically, even though it mysteriously was playing normally while I was on "Live Chat".
Users may want to use the video that I cited and see what happens.  It is still a mystery why the video won't work for hours and then all of a sudden start working.  I also had similar trouble with YouTube videos.
Best regards,
bookwilliam

  • Windows recognizes ipod nano (1st generation) but itunes doesn't

    I'm a happy owner of ipod nano for about a year. My itunes and ipod nano was working perfectly until few days ago I encountered problems with both of them.
    I fixed my itunes (which kept showing an error message when I tried to uninstall/repair it) but after i got that fixed my itunes couldn't detect my ipod nano.
    I looked at a directions page in this website and it told me to "press start service" in something. (i forgot what that "something" was)
    Whenever I connect my ipod nano to my itunes, the ipod folder & error message about "ipod service module" pops up.
    I'm DESPERATE to fix this problem. So please answer my question and thank you. =]

    One of the services in Windows that has to be on is iPod Service. If that service doesn't stay started, iTunes won't see the iPod.
    Go into your services (administrative tools, services) and scroll down until you see it. If the service doesn't say started, right-click on it, choose start. In properties, it should show as automatic.
    While I know you already reinstalled iTunes, another reinstall of it might put the service back in the correct mode of starting whenever iTunes needs it.

  • IPod nano 1st generation cannot be recognize by iTunes 11.1.3 on macbook

    i cannot get my itune recognize my ipod nano 1st generation.  And i can't sync it with ituen on my macbook.  Pls help

    Hello there, lycusfenriz.
    It can definitely be frustrating when your having trouble with multiple devices at the same time, but the steps in the article below may help with getting your iPod recognized in iTunes. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, in-depth recommendations for troubleshooting an iPod not being recognized in iTunes:
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
    Connectivity/syncing
    Follow these steps if your computer doesn't recognize your iPod or you have issues with syncing your iPod.
    iPod not recognized by iTunes or computer
    Make sure you have installed the latest iTunes software from www.itunes.com/downloads. Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer. Your computer needs a USB 2.0 port or a USB 3.0 port to connect iPod nano. If you have a Windows PC that doesn't have a USB 2.0 port, in some cases you can purchase and install a USB 2.0 card.
    If iPod nano is connected to a USB hub, try connecting iPod nano directly to your computer's USB port.
    iPod nano might need to be reset. Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If you're connecting iPod nano to a portable computer using the Lightning Cable, connect the computer to a power outlet before connecting iPod nano.
    Check the cable connections. Disconnect the cable at both ends and make sure no foreign objects are in the USB ports. Then reconnect the cable.
    Try reinserting the Lightning connector into the iPod. The Lightning connector can be inserted either way.
    Try restarting your computer.
    If none of these steps resolves the issue, you might need to restore the iPod nano software.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • IPod nano 1st generation doesn't appear in iTunes vers. 9.02 - HELP

    Since I upgraded my iTunes to the latest version 9.02, my iPod nano (1st generation) doesn't appear and I cannot synchronize it. Tried to change USB port, no result. Tried to uninstall iTunes and install earlier version 8.2 for Windows XP, but it won't open, saying that "the iTunes Library.itl cannot be read as it was created in a more recent iTunes version". What am I to do if I want to keep using my old nano?
    Desperate Sapiapple

    I am having a similar problem. Dusted off my daughters old nano to take to the beach. Tried setting it up on the old lap top I am taking with me and I could not get it working. After hours of diagnostics and troubleshooting matrixs it seems that I did not have drivers. Apple's troubleshooting says go to microsoft, MS's says go to apple for the drivers. Shows up as a faulted device. Did the updates to the USB drivers, etc. Put the player in disk mode (still would not recognize) My laptop says yes I have an I pod but it cant find the drivers to install it My other old laptop running old I Tune software seems to have no problem. I thought it was my problem I was wasting a
    Sunday on, now I am thinking that this is a problem with this latest version of I tunes.

  • IPod nano (1st generation) Replacement Program

    Hello,
    Back in 2012 I requested a replacement via the iPod nano (1st generation) Replacement Program.  Apple sent a return envelope but I ended up damaging it by opening the packet with scissors (d’oh!).   
    I’ve just remembered about the programme and tried to request a replacement again online, but get the following error message ‘This serial number has already been submitted for this program.’
    Is there a way of contacting Apple via email (rather than phone), or is there another way for me to make the request again?
    Many thanks

    You will have to call them unless they provided you with an email during your first request.

  • I purchased 3 new songs that will not download to my ipod nano 1st generation

  • HT1339 Ipod Nano 1st Generation Question

    I have an Ipod Nano 1st Generation.  It was initially set up on my old Mac G4.  The power supply on my G4 crashed so now I have a Mac G5.  My problem is that when I plug my Ipod into my Mac, I can see and listen to all my songs from my Ipod, but can't download them to the computer.  However, I can click & drag songs from my computer to my Ipod.  Since I lost my whole Itunes library when my other computer crashed, I really want this library from my Ipod uploaded into my computer.   How can I fix this?  Also, I want to download my Ipod songs to my new Iphone 4 and I think I need to have them downloaded to the computer to do that.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It's not really a "fix," since iTunes works that way by design.  Your iPod was set on your old Mac to Manually manage music, so it was not "synced" to your previous iTunes library.  That is why you can connect it to your new Mac and manually add more songs to it.  (If it was set for automatic syncing to your old library, you would not be able to add new songs from a different library without replacing the iPod's existing content.)
    iTunes generally works in one direction, from computer to iPod, whether it is set to sync automatically or load manually.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to Mac, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to Mac.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your Mac, you can add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can set up syncing for both the old iPod and iPhone 4, from your "consolidated" iTunes library.
    Edit:  Actually, that last bit may be a problem, because I don't think you can use an iPhone 4 with a PowerPC iMac, if your iMac is actually a "G5."

  • I have been given an iPod nano 1st generation and need to delete everything from it but do not know how to

    I have been given an iPod nano 1st generation I wish to completely wipe it clean and put new music into it. I cannot manage to do it any help would be great

    Hi Bevella,
    I understand that you were given a 1st generation iPod nano and you would like to completely erase it so you can start clean and sync your own music on to it. The process you want to run is called a restore. The following link is the iPod nano Features Guide that explains the restore process with steps. The restore section is on pages 50 and 51.
    iPod nano
    Features Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA101/en_US/iPod_nano_Features_Guide.pdf
    Updating and Restoring iPod Software
    You can use iPod Updater to update or restore your iPod software. Apple periodically updates iPod software to improve performance or add features. It is recommended that you update your iPod nano to use the latest software. You can also restore the software, which puts iPod nano back in its original state.
    If you choose to update, the software is updated, but your settings and songs are not affected.
    If you choose to restore, all data is erased from your iPod nano, including songs, files, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All iPod nano settings are restored to their original state.
    To update or restore iPod nano with the latest software:
    Go to www.apple.com/support/ipod and download the latest iPod Update. The update has the latest software for all models of iPod.
    Double-click the software installation file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the iPod update.
    Connect iPod nano to your computer and open iTunes. The iPod Updater application opens. If you’re using a Windows PC and the iPod Updater application doesn’t open automatically, you can find the updater by choosing Start > All Programs > iPod.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to update or restore iPod software.
    Thanks for reaching out,
    -Joe

  • I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel

    I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel. I have fully charged it tried resetting it and on two different computers with the latest iTunes I have restored it with the latest firmware then moved it to hold and off hold held in the menue button and select button for 10 seconds but all I get is a screen where I select the language but cant get any response from the scroll wheel.
    The hold button is working (I see the lock icon go on and off) I have done the restore procedure and then reset many times but no good I am wondering if I should open it up and disconnect the battery for 30 seconds.
    I would appreciate any advice thanks in advance. (This is my Daughters ipod mine is an 8 gig one.)

    You need a newer model iPod, a 4G or 5G. The 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1
