Ipod touch 1st generation, having trouble getting apps on it.
i just got my 8gb touch 1st generation for christmas and i bought 2 applications to download onto my ipod. i'm not sure how to get it on there. Help!!
First, set iTunes to show your applications. On the menu bar, click "Edit>Preferences..." and check the "Applications" box.
Second, make sure your apps are downloaded. On the menu bar, click "Store>Check for available downloads..."
Third, update the iPod touch's firmware if you haven't already. Plug it in to iTunes, click on it in the left pane, and click the "Update" button.
Fourth, click the "Applications" tab on the right side of the screen. Check the "All applications" box, then click the "Apply" button on the bottom right.
Fifth, sync (click the "Sync" button on the bottom right.)
Sixth, eject (click the eject button next to your iPod's name, and, once your iPod says "OK to Disconnect" or the main menu, unplug it or undock it.)

What happens when you try to use the apps?
You say you have a 1G iPod but the profile says iOS 4.2. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3. -
HT2052 ipod touch 1st generation, can't acces apps at all. update?
i have a 1st generation ipod and i currently cannot acces apps or do much on it, is there a update/software that will let it perform better? so far i can only add music and thats it.
The 1G can only go as high as 3.1.3. To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -
I have an iPod touch 1st generation. Up until the last update it was recognized in iTunes and now it will not come up in iTunes at all. Don't feel like I should have to pay $100 every times iTunes updates and there is a problem with it recognizing my iPod. Anyone have any suggestions? I have uninstalled iTunes half a dozen times and done everything they recommended including replacing my USB cable, nothing works.
It is an iTunes problem
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I got an iPod touch 1st generation and downloaded loads of apps, some paid some free. A few weeks ago I restored the iPod touch and when I went to download apps that I had already owned it said I needed a newer iOS. It says I need iOS 4.3 and I have iOS 4.2.1 and when i tried to update it says I have no software updates.
Do you have any of those apps saved on your computer, in iTunes?
It is true that your 1st generation iPad is already now running the highest version of iOS it can. It cannot be updated further. If the developer has pulled the older versions of their apps and now only offers versions requiring iOS 5 or 6 then you will not be able to run those apps any longer (unless you kept backup copies of the older versions in iTunes on your computer).
Developers determine what version(s) of their apps are in the App Store. As many have updated their apps to take advantage of the enhancements in iOS 6 , they've pulled their older versions and no longer support them. -
We need IOS 4.0 for the ipod touch 1st generation not everybody have money to get a new version of ipod touch to used the most important social networks ... please think about it and i would grateful if i can use my old ipod touch .. Thanks

Trouble restoring iPod Touch 1st generation
I have been trying to restore my iPod Touch 1st generation for hours now. Each time, I connect to iTunes, click Restore, accept the agreement and begin the download. Each time, the progress bar says it will take 2 hours to download. After about 10 minutes, the download times out and I get an error message to try again later. On one attempt, the progress bar got down to 20 minutes remaining before it timed out. Is there any other way to downlaod the Touch software I need so that I can then restore my data from an iTunes backup?
Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer -
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.

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.

Can I load any Books on the Ipod Touch?
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.

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.
