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.

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??

I am from Germany. I have a Question to the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program: Can I upgrade to Ipod touch 8GB? The new Ipod nano Generation is too smal for my hands

Hello! Not a problem, because you will get a Ipod Nano 1st generation as a replacement, not a new / latest generation.

Request for a replacement USB cap for iPod Shuffle 1st Gen. Gifting the iPod my grandma for birthday.

Hi,
I have an iPod Shuffle 1st Generation 512Mb. I am planning to gift it to my grandma for her birthday but unfortunately, the I have lost the USB cap that covers the built in USB port on it. I have not had any luck finding it, and I was wondering if someone could kindly guide me to get a replacement please? Contact me @ [email protected] and if it helps, I live in India so even if I need to order it online/or from overseas, that shouldn't be a problem. Please help.

I'm confused... is your shuffle a white plastic thing that looks like a pack of gum, or an aluminum one with a clip.
The reason for the confusion is that you said:
"+I have only had the iPod for a little over 4 months+"
If it's that new, Apple will replace it under warranty...however if it's a 1st Gen shuffle that's just that new to you, then it may be that the switch on the back is full of crud. It can be cleaned by someone adept with simple tools and at at following directions: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod/iPod-Shuffle/Hold-Switch/98/1/

I bought an IPOD shuffle (1st gen.) at a pawn shop and it is still synced to previos owners itunes acct. and I can put songs on it b/c I don't have their log in info. So how do I clear it out so I can sync it with my itunes acct.?

OK..So I bought an older IPOD shuffle (1st generation) at a pawn shop. I never have had an itunes acct. So I set one up and plugged the IPOD into my laptop. Apparently the previous owners itunes acct. is still synced with it and I cant put any songs on it b/c I do not have their itunes acct. info (log-in). So my question is how do I clear their info( un-sync) out of this IPOD so I can then be able to put it on my acct. Its not letting me restore it to factory settings without their info either. HELP!

iPods (except for iPod touch) are not linked to any iTunes "account." They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, and that is used to buy and download content from the iTunes Store. It is not required to use an iPod.
The 1st (and 2nd) gen shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library at a time. When you connect it, iTunes should prompt you to start using it with your iTunes library, and warn that the shuffle's existing content will be erased. Have iTunes erase the shuffle, and it will be associated with your iTunes library going forward. You can then add content to your shuffle.
The need for the previous owner's Apple ID and password should only come up if you are trying to transfer existing content from the shuffle to your iTunes library, AND the previous owner had content purchased from the iTunes Store. Just cancel out of that step, if iTunes asks.

IPod Nano 1st Gen Replacement Program Problem

I recently sent my iPod Nano 1st Gen off for the replacement program.
I wanted to make sure I would be receiving a refurbished 1st Gen back, not one of the latest gens, so I called Apple Care to confirm this.
I'm really fond of the 1st Gen and would like to keep it as a collectors item, plus mine was in relatively good condition as well (And absolutely love the scroll wheel).
The woman I spoke to at Apple Care assured me that I would receive a refurbished 1st Gen iPod Nano, she was very clear on this.
I sent off and just received a box in the mail with replacement. To my dismay, they replaced it with a 6th GEN.
I don't want to sound ungrateful, and I do appreciate Apple keeping up customer service even for old Apple products.
But I specifically asked if a 1st gen would be returned to me, which was not the case.
I called Apple care again today, and they said they didn't have the stock and provided me with whatever they could.
Had I been told there was a chance I wouldn't receive a refurbished 1st gen in return, I wouldn't have sent it off in the first place.
Can't be too upset with Apple, but not particularly happy. Any advice would be appreciated.

I just sent a request for the shipping materials today, and if I get back a refurbished 1st generation nano, I'll be more than happy to trade it for your 6th generation

Ipod shuffle 1st gen not recognized by pc

Okay, so I have a ipod shuffle 1st generation that seems to hae no songs in it and it is not recognized by my pc or it does but I can't access it. On itunes after I plug it in my pc it says "iTunes has detected a damaged iPod . You may need to restore this iPod so that it can be used with iTunes. You can also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod" and after restoring it it says "The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred ( 1442)". Maybe is it because i took it off from the usb port without using the proper way. Is it possible to to make it work again?
It is running version 1.1.5 or ios 1.1.5 cuz idk and I have a windows 8 pc.

Ipod shuffle 1st gen. repair?

I am trying to play my ipod shuffle 1st gen in itunes but it will not play. My windows 7 computer recognizes the ipod and I can easily select the songs on my ipod playlist in itunes but cannot play them. Any solutions to the problem?

I get the feeling some has asked a question "like" this but not exactly that question which makes it really hard for find answers fast to the above question. Therefore, I decided to ask it anyway. Hopefully someone has a good solution that will work.
Background on the question:
- I had to erase and reupload song on my ipod 1st gen to my new computer. Apparently the ipod could not be read by the iTunes in my new computer because the playlist cannot be opened in more than one iTunes or in another computer or something like that (this makes no sense). All this was to try and charge my ipod that does not seem to want to charge. It connects perfectly to the computer and I can see the initial blinking yellow lights on the back and front, but won't charge. I am currently working on this problem from other community discussion topics.

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

Ipod shuffle 1st gen and ipos nano 1st gen

After installing new itunes update for the new ipod nano 2nd gen i am unable to get several songs that were in my library for years to transfer to the 1st gen ipods .. the message i get is that certain songs (and I get a list in itunes) are not authorized to be transfered to my ipod.
I have been unable to find help anywhere w/ this.
Did this happen to anyone else?

For difficulties transferring iTunes purchases, see this.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

IPod Shuffle (1st Gen) is no longer seen in iTunes or Windows (Vista)

I had it working flawlessly in Vista with iTunes then yesterday I plugged the shuffle in and Vista said it was an unidentified usb device. So iTunes no longer sees it and it doesn't even come up in Device Manager.
Things I've done so far...
1. Reset the device (several times now)
2. Uninstalled iTunes and Apple Mobile Devise service and reinstalled current version.
The only response I get out of this iPod now is the orange charge light when I plug it in, even though the device is charged and plays fine. I've tried all USB ports as well and still Vista has no idea it is connected.
I tried it on my other XP Pro machine and it detects fine. iTunes recognizes it as well and asks to sync it so I know the issue is not the iPod Shuffle itself.
Any ideas?

Hi hmacross,
I tried one of the options in the link you provided, 'iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB'. It didn't work but now my Shuffle is flashing orange as it does when it is charging on my XP machine. So at least we have power to it I think.
I still have do detection in Windows Explorer, Device Manager or iTunes however.
All the other options I have already tried.
Still scratching my head lol.
Thanks for you help anyway. Got any other ideas?

IPod shuffle (1st gen) not recognised

Right, here is my problem:
When i connect my ipod to my computer (or any other) i get an error warning saying that the "usb device is not recognized....". It doesn't appear in 'My Computer' at all, and i have already tried the ipod shuffle reset utility for windows, but because it is not found at all on the computer, the reset utility cannot find it either!
Now where this seems to differ from previous problems that people have mentioned is that my ipod will still play the music that i presently have on it with no problems and will charge with no problems either (its fully charged).
At the time this problem started, i was using the most up to date version of software for it and for itunes.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated

This is going to sound hokey, like one of those ‘cheat codes’ where you move your joystick right, right, left, up, down, right, right and then hit the “A” button. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. Don’t know if this is going to work for you but no harm in trying.
1. Open the latest version of Itunes.
2. Turn on your Ipod Shuffle quickly (you should see the green led light briefly) and plug it right away into the USB port.
3. Then turn off your Ipod almost just as quickly.
Hopefully, the Ipod should blink orange continuously and Itunes will say that the Ipod is corrupted. “Do you wish to reset it to the original factory settings?”
D*#n right.
4. This will delete everything on your Ipod, but more importantly, after this, the Ipod starts charging with a constant orange light.
5. Then start transferring your music back onto the Ipod.
I’ve played around looking to fix this frickin’ problem forever…would’ve been better buying a 2nd generation Shuffle for $79, but then I see the problems on this forum with it as well. The only good to come out of this was that I no longer feel alone with this problem.
Apple says to download the latest Itunes and do the 5 R’s, blah, blah, blah. I have a frickin’ Shuffle – I just want to listen to it when I ride my bike for 3+ hours, recharge it via a USB, and do it again. I don’t want to download a 50MB application (Itunes) that supports video and does all this other crap, when it was what, originally a 30+ meg. app? Yea, I know there are other Ipods out there - how about a simple Itunes for the simpler applications?
And then doing the 5 R’s mostly involve a fully charged Ipod – how often does that happen? Frickin’ Apple. They just don’t understand. 90 days for support? Based on the forum, some of them do conk out within 90 days of purchase, but a majority will occur after the 90 days. I’ve charged mine for less than 50 cycles, and now, only my “Random” setting will play. I’m not even going to bother looking for a fix for that problem. After my Shuffle dies for good, I’ll get another non-Apple mp3 player that won’t give me hassles.
If the above solution works, great. If it doesn’t, sorry – I tried. I can tell you about how the Ipod will have a momentary charge (orange light) when plugged in and you turn your computer on for the first time (but not when ‘Restarting’) and other nuances from my many experiments, but the above is the only thing I was able to do to get it to work. The whole purpose of the above ‘solution’ is to try to help Itunes communicate with your otherwise dead Ipod (red battery status indicator). One without any lights at all is probably truly dead. Good luck.
