Ipod Touch, 1st generation crashed during upgrade to v3.1.3 software

I have just paid to upgrade the software on my 1st generation Ipod touch. The software seems to have downloaded to my itunes, but some sort of error message occured during the download, and my ipod has crashed. The screen is locked on an image of an apple icon with a download progress bar half way filled. I can't turn the ipod on or off. When I plug it into the computer, it recognizes that a device is there, and it allows me to sync my ipod, but the screen remains unchanged. Does anyone have any idea on what I can do to fix this?
Thanks!

I am continuing to have problems with getting my ipod touch restored. I am following the directions on the faq's but it seems that my touch continues to freeze up during the restoring nprocess. Itunes continues to sync, but the ipod screen remains unchanged.

Ipod touch 1st generation w/ upgraded software

I have an ipod touch 1st generation w/ upgraded software. I bought the game Angry birds to play, but when I click on the icon, it turns black as though the game is going to load, but it doesn't instead it goes back to original screen. Any suggestions???

- Try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try deleting the app and redownloading/installing the app.

Upgrading Ipod Touch 1st Generation

I have an Ipod Touch 1st Generation, and wish to upgrade it so I can sync apps. At the moment, it has the software version 1.1.5. I realize I need to upgrade to the version 2.2.1 but whenever I click 'check for update', Itunes tells me that there are no upgrades available. I have downloaded the most recent Itunes upgrade and am really confused as to why it's not allowing me to buy an upgrade.

Ipod Touch 1st Generation General Questions.

I just read where the 1st generation Ipod Touch cannot upgrade software past 3.1.3. SO I assume all of the Apps I have seen and some I have downloaded that state I need newer software are not useable on the Touch I have?
Oh man it appears I got something which is basicaly useless other then playing music like my Ipod Nano can do.
Can I load any Books on the Ipod Touch?
Where can I get information as to what the limits I have with this Ipod Touch 1st Generation so I can get an Idea of what I can do and what I cannot do so I am not sitting trying to achive something that it is not capable of?
I also do not want to irritate the heck out of the community by asking questions or trying to fix errors I think I have when in reality my Ipod is not designed to do the task in the first place.
I do see Wifi on my Ipod Touch but it does not appear to connect even when I use the correct password so I assume it is limited or has to have a Specific Security setup in teh Router to connect properly and would like th know that.
I read some of the Software 3.1 Manual but it does not really go into detail as far as wifi connections just the bare basics which I know I did correct.
I am thinking that it cannot connect to WPA/WPA2 Security and I will have to Dummy down my Wifi Security to accomidate the Ipod Touch is this correct and where can I get this Information also?
I bought this Used and have no Box or any Information about it at all.
Thanks again

One if you can find an app that support the book format. Many book are available in non-DRM pdfs and I think you can find an app that will read pdfs. As you likely know, iBooks is not compatible with the 1G
Where can I get information as to what the limits I have with this Ipod Touch 1st Generation so I can get an Idea of what I can do and what I cannot do so I am not sitting trying to achive something that it is not capable of?
I know of no such document or site.

See below for wifi problem

For wifi problem:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
The last should identify what encryption works with the 1G.

Ipod touch 1st generation and apps

I've an Ipod touch 1st generation bought in 2008 and now I can't upgrade my apps or some of them disappeared. My ISO is the 3.1.3 version How can I solve this problem

You can't. To more easily find apps for 3.1.3
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

IPod Touch 1st generation-texting

I just purchased a refurbished iPod Touch 1st generation for my 10 year old for Christmas. Is there an app she can use on it to text for free with wifi?

I'm not sure; I have a 1st gen iPhone, but not iPod touch.... This article as information about Messages
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messages_(application)
The 1st gen iPod touch (like the 1st gen iPhone) can run up to iOS 3.1.3 (called "iPhone OS" back then), but not later iOS releases. If that iPod touch you purchased has an earlier release of iOS installed, you can upgrade it
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052 (The upgrade costs $4.95.)
Since you already purchased the iPod touch, I would wait until you receive it, upgrade the OS if necessary, and then see what it can do with the built-in software. You can install apps from the App Store, but it is somewhat difficult to finds apps that support the old hardware and iOS these days.
I have an app called VintApps that helps me find apps in the App Store that still work with my old iPhone. It found these that appear to be for messaging

Help! ipod touch 1st generation cannot be recognized by iTunes

Hi there,
I tried to upgrade my ipod touch (1st generation) using itunes, but it failed. I forgot the error code. After that, my ipod touch cannot be recognized by iTunes any longer. Every time when I open the ipod touch, it shows the graph of a CD and an ipod touch cable, looks like this:
Music CD
/|\
Cable
Is there any way to make it recognized by iTunes? Thanks a lot.

Thank you. That symbol appeared in my ipod touch. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it. But it does not help. Also tried the one mentioned in "Restart iPod touch" in that link, it does not work either.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

How do i get my ipod touch 1st generation to work like normal?

hey i got an ipod touch 1st generation and i recently upgraded my software but my ipod is always in recovery mode and when i restore it with new software it work just fine for about 20mins then i goes back to recovery mode and dont wanna charge or come on. what should i do?

If the problem occurs after you restore it to factory defaults/new iPod then it is likely a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Updating an iPod touch 1st generation

Hello there,
I have been trying to update my iPod touch 1st generation to iOS 3.0, but whenever I try to update through iTunes, it tells me "2.2.1 is the current software version." from what I understand updating to iOS 3.0 is fairly possible. I was just wondering how I go about doing this.
Thank you for your help.
