IPod Touch 1st gen to iTunes connecting speed

I'm an iPod Touch 1st gen newbie on iOS 3.1.3; My question is when connecting the iPod to iTunes 10.1.1 how long does it normally take for the device to show up? When connecting an iTouch that's OFF (connection turns it on), I find it probably takes 5-8 minutes for the device to show up. I'm left sitting there not sure if I need to do something. Should the device be ON? When using my iPod Nano (2nd gen) it shows up on iTunes very fast and I see the device on the Desktop. iTouch doesn't show up on the Desktop as a connected device even though Finder options is checked on so iPods are recognized. Otherwise, all is well and great with the device. Thanks.

iPod touches and iPhones are not recognized as disk drives and therefore will not appear on the Desktop. I would say that 5-8 minutes to be recognized by iTunes is not normal, however.
You might want to focus your efforts on your Mac. I would check/repair permissions on the HD, remove all earlier instances of iTunes, make sure you are running the latest version of OS X that you can (I think 10.5.8 is the latest you can use). You might have to uninstall iTunes and download/reinstall. The correct way to do that is in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

  • IPod Touch 1st Gen Won't Connect To PC or MAC Stuck On iTunes Logo

    I have an iPod Touch 1st Generation, I have searched a lot of forums and google and I can not find an actual solution for this...
    The ipod is stuck on the itunes logo(connect to itunes to restore), but when you connect it it isn't recognized by itunes. When I plugged it into a PC it "dinged" and popped up a message saying like an "unknown device" message. In the control panel it shows as "unknown device." How can I fix this.
    Please don't "answer" this by saying RESTORE it. Can't do that as it doesn't come up in itunes. I've tried the advice on the Apple website; reinstall itunes, delete several files, etc. That didn't work.
    Thank you in advance for any answers/help.

    What happens when you try to connect to the iTunes store? Error message?
    What iOS is on the iPod? Settings>General>About>version
    For apps you need at least iOS 2. The last update for the 1G is 3.1.3 that you  get here:

    However, there are not that many apps compatible with the 1G even with 3.1.3.

  • I have and iPod Touch 1st gen that iTunes 10.6.1 can't see.

    I just cleared the memory on it and restored factory settings. Now when I connect to iTunes 10.6.1 nothing happens. The iPod tells me to connect to iTunes but iTunes does not see the iPod. I tried turning the ipod off then holding down the home button while connecting the sync cable. A graphic popped up telling me to connect to iTunes but nothing else. I tried this again and waited for over half an hour and still nothing connected. The cable is fine, I know this because I have connected other devices using it. Help please!
    I am running osx 10.7.3 on an i7 iMac.

    Thanks Illaass, I tried this a couple of times and it didn't help at all. I think is I hadn't done a factory reset it might have worked but right now the ipod is acting like a new device that that itunes doesn't recognize.

  • IPod Touch - 1st Gen - iOS 3.1.3 "can't connect"

    Hello I have an iPod Touch - 1st Gen with iOS 3.1.3.  After each update of iTunes I get this same problem... I'll connect it to the PC and then iTunes will see it and start to sync up.  After a min or so it will say that it can't sync because it can't find the iPod...  Can someome help please?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable and USB port
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or

  • IPod Touch 1st gen - cannot connect to wi-fi

    Hi,
    Am having a persistent wi-fi connection problem with my iPod Touch 1st gen, which I just bought second-hand. Any advice gratefully appreciated, as I have not been able to find a solution on the forums so far.
    THE PROBLEM
    The iPod detects the signal from my home wi-fi router. When I try to connect, it invariably gives the error message "Unable to join the network [name]". I have 2 laptops and an iPhone running on this network with no problems.
    TROUBLESHOOTING TRIED
    - upgraded to latest version of iTunes
    - upgraded to latest version of iPod Touch software
    - upgraded to latest version of router firmware
    - removed all encryption on wireless signal (no WPA/WEP etc enabled)
    - reset wireless settings on iPod
    - removed all content from iPod & did a full restore & resync
    Please help! Thanks in advance

    I had the same trouble for about a year. Tried everything. This finally did it-
    settings-wifi-other
    manually enter network name, select WEP for security
    enter password once network found
    After this, the network address field was still initially blank, I toggled back and forth, then the address info just appeared, all good after that!
    Everything else was a waste of time
    It may help to clear Safari history and cache first (mine happened to be cleared after the unsuccessful reset}
    Apple called it a hardware issue, and wanted me to send it in. Repair cost was near or more than replacement cost. This all started after 2.2.1 update - my best assumption was that the update over-clocked the wifi, and fried it. That didn't make sense to me, as it could still show the networks.
    Hoe this helps you. The itouch was running 3.1.3 when I tried this last night.
    Hope this helps! Reply back with your success stories!
