IPod touch 1st and 2nd generation logic

Why would Apple leave the first and second generation ipods? i mean sure there old but if you actually think about it be cause we can't recieve any more updates we aren't able to by apps we want and then that won't make Apple money, and i know they want to make money so they should use logic and see how much better this can be if they try this.

The logic is the same with any electronic device like iPhones, iPads, iPods, smart phones, Tablets and computers. The time they are made, they are the best, but this thing off technology is advancing to fast.
So, in order for you to be able to have all the apps you want this days we need to have a device that can handle them, like a computer e.g: you need to keep upgrading or by new ones.
Same thing with Apple, since is not possible to upgrade the device we have, we need to get new ones.
I do understand where you´re coming from but that how things are.
Apple think different for people that think different.

My iPods touch 1st and 2nd generation don´t show up anymore in iTunes after upgrade to iTunes 10.5 and MacOsX 10.6.8 Snow. What can I do??

I was using iPods touch 1st and 2nd generation together with iPod Shuffle 1st generation with inferior versions of iTunes and MacOS X without any problem. After I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6.8, the iPod Shuffle still appears in iTunes normally, but the iPods don´t appear. Its not a problem of the USB because because it happens with two different USB cables which worked just fine before. Any idea how I could get the iPods working again?? Thanks a lot!!!

I have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen, MacOS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.5, and my iPod still works when I plug it in.
So it's not the software, because mine still works. Do your iPods have a lock on them? If so, try unlocking them and then plugging them in, usually when your iPod has a passcode lock it won't show up in iTunes until you unlock it.

Try putting it into "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Then with it in this mode connect it to the PC and try to run the latest iPod updater to do a restore and update software if you have the option. the latest iPod updater is 2006-03-23 and can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

Hi Phil.Surf 16,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPod is not in iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

So am I correct in assuming that all of the Ipod touch 1st and 2nd gen are obsolete?

I can't seem to download any apps for my second generation ipod touch. I have looked on forums and searched the internet on what to do with no avail. Please do not send me any messages saying that I cannot go any higher than iOS 4.2.1 because I know this and you will be wasting my time. Basically my question is what do the people do that own older ipods? Do we simply toss them out? I think that this is a little ridiculous, I paid for a product that I can no longer use simply because it is older.

"Do we simply toss them out?"
No.
"I think that this is a little ridiculous"
Since you don't just "throw them out", there is no "ridiculousness".
"I paid for a product that I can no longer use simply because it is older."
Baloney. You can use the product, until it's no longer operational. If it breaks, you can have it repaired outside of the warranty.

TS1410 My iPod shuffle ( 1st or 2nd generation) will not recharge and does not show when the doc is connected to my MacBook Pro. I'm running the latest updated version of iTunes.

Hello Jane Benstock,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.
Check out this article named Resetting iPod shuffle found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655.
All the best,

Parts of the 1st and 2nd generation ipod nano's?

I have a question. Does anyone know if the parts of the 1st and 2nd generation nanos are compatable with each other or are they different.

no they dont work together

What is the difference between 1st and 2nd generation of the Itouch?

Can someone tell me the difference between the 1st and 2nd generation of the itouch? I'm looking to upgrade from my nano to a 32gb Itouch.

The speaker is a big plus. Who wants to dig up their headphones just to play a quick game of Lux Touch or play with your light sabre without anyone else hearing the sound effects :)? The lack of a volume control is also a major complaint of IPT 1G users. The only thing that should swing you back to the 1G is the iPod accessories you already have that may be rendered obsolete.

IPod touch 32 GB (2nd generation) bricked

I recently bought an iPod touch 32 GB (2nd generation). It was working just fine until Safari completely crashed and I had to perform a reset by holding down the Sleep/Wake and Home button (as described on the Apple Support site). After that the iPod touch just keeps hanging on Apple logo without loading the Home screen. Because of it iTunes can't connect with the iPod.
This is the second time this has happened to me, the first time it completely bricked my iPod and I had to exchange it for a new one. I'm curious to what is causing my iPod touch to stay stuck after a reset with no apparent way to bring it back to a functional order.
Any thoughts on the matter? Note that I'm using the original firmware (v2.1.1) and not some jailbreaked version.

This happened to me as well but I found out by accident that when doing a hard reset (holding sleep and home buttons together) that it took my 2G 32GB iPod touch literally 10-15 minutes to restart itself after seeming to freeze at the Apple logo. In fact, I had tried to put it into DFU mode and got the same "software not installed" error in iTunes then did the hard reset and decided to wait. Then ~ 15 minutes later the iPod Touch started up like nothing had happened and I was able to do a restore in iTunes although it probably wasn't necessary but I decided to do one anyway. My iPod Touch has worked great since then.
Needless to say, I made a suggestion to Apple through their feedback link that they need to have either a spinning circle or progress bar at that Apple logo screen so people don't think that they're bricked.
I would try plugging your iPod Touch into a wall outlet adapter (USB may work but I didn't want it connected to the computer at all) or make sure you have a full battery then do a hard reset and wait a while, at least 30 minutes to an hour to see if it restarts itself then do a restore (optional) to be on the safe side. Hopefully that will work for you like it did for me.

HT202157 What is the difference between the 1st and 2nd generation Apple TV?

What is the main difference between the 1st and 2nd generation Apple TV's? I just got the 1st generation and was wondering if I should send back for the 2nd gen?

There is one other difference. The ATV3 uses a new processor with a better graphic processing unit. If you only had the ATV2 for less than 14 day. Why not upgrade. 1080p video will be a little sharper, but in reality most people won't notice any real difference. It's likely that Apple will stop supporting the ATV 1st gen and 2nd gen in couple of years. Apple as a company usually only supports hardware 5-6yrs max!

Question about firewire AC adaptor and iPod Nano (1st and 2nd gen)

I have an AC adaptor from the Mini, model #A1070 W008A130 and I was wondering if it was compatible with both the 1st and 2nd gen Nanos.
I've been unable to find any power specifications and just want to make sure I'm not going to burn both mine and my girlfriend's Nanos out when we charge them away from a computer.
Thanks in advance.

Plug your iPod into your computer and resync your songs back on.

I have an Ipod touch 32 gb 2nd generation. I was listening to it and it got hot and will not charge or turn on or do anything. Can someone help?

I was listening to my 32GB ipod touch 2nd generation and it got real hot and quit working. i can not get it to do anything. I have let it rest for several months and I can not get it to do anything. Can anyone help?

Do you have Apple Care for it?
If not, you may want to walk it into the nearest Apple Store and ask for assistance there...
Good luck in any case.

Airport express identification and 1st and 2nd generation connectivity

Hi
I have three questions regarding airport express
1. How do i know what model airport express i have? i'm not sure if i bought before or after 2008 if it operates with 802.11b/g or 802.11a/b/g/Draft N
2. Second question is if I have the 802.11a/b/g/Draft N 1st generation can i connect it to a 2nd generation airport express to extent the range of my wifi?
3. If yes, should i connect 2nd generation to router and then use 1st generation to extend the range? or vice versa
Thank you in advance for your help

How do i know what model airport express i have? i'm not sure if i bought before or after 2008 if it operates with 802.11b/g or 802.11a/b/g/Draft N
Get out those reading glasses or a magnifying glass and locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
A1084 or A1088 are older "b/g" versions of the AirPort Express.....not really compatible with much of anything anymore, since they do not have a setting or capability to "extend a wireless network".
A1264 is the 1st Gen 802.11n version.....which will work with the new Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks operating systems.
Second question is if I have the 802.11a/b/g/Draft N 1st generation can i connect it to a 2nd generation airport express to extent the range of my wifi?
Yes, but since the 1st Gen Express is not dual band, it will only be able to extend one band from the newer 2nd Gen Express.....probably the 2.4 GHz band since that is the stronger signal. If you want or need to extend dual bands, then you will need two 2nd Gen Express devices.
If yes, should i connect 2nd generation to router and then use 1st generation to extend the range? or vice versa
2nd Gen would be connected to the router and the 1st Gen would extend.
That way, you will at least get dual bands from the 2nd Gen. If you reverse the process.....remember that the 1st Gen is single band....the 2nd Gen will only extend one band....and you will lose some of the performance capability of the device.
