Ipod touch 1st generation stutters during music playback

My ipod touch running 2.2.1 (5H11) which has always had updates etc kept up, has recently started stuttering during song playback. I have reset a couple of times and it plays fine for one song and starts all over again. Any thoughts?

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 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!

Ipod touch 1st generation Music.

I just bought a ipod touch 1st generation 16gb, im wondering can it handle the new music that comes out that i have bought from will it be able too handle that? aslo on the internet can in handle facebook?

Music has not changed so it will play music just fine. To access FB you will have to use Safari and use the FB website. There ae not any FB aps compatible with iOS 31.3, the highest the 1G can go.

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.

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 battery lifespan?

how long does the average lifespan of the ipod touch 1st generation last? ive had mine since around the time it first came out, i havnt noticed any loss in battery life at all but i was just wondering how long it would take before i would actually have to replace the battery, and if i have to send it in to replace the battery will anything happen to my songs/apps/videos/pictures?

The music is stated by apple to last 22 hours on a full charge for music and 5 hours for movies. The battery efficiency goes down to 80% after about 400 cycles, but your battery could bust at any time, but don't worry about it. It'll be awhile till your battery has to be replaced. If you replace the battery it won't effect any of the content on your iPod as long as it's all on iTunes.

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 download the SD version of my HD TV show onto my iPod Touch 1st generation?

I bought and downloaded the Pilot episode of the Vampire Diaries. However, I found out afterwards that it can't be synced because the iPod Touch 1st generation does not support HD videos. But I read that when you buy an HD video it comes with a SD version. I can't figure out how to get that SD version to show up or be synced. I went on the Purchased pages and unselected the HD versions, but it says that the SD versions have already been downloaded to the computer. I can't find them and can't find any selections to change the HD to SD. Please help me!!

Hello maxr0,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article that outlines where to go to download your purchases again in iTunes.
The article named says it is for iTunes 10, but the steps will work for iTunes 11 as well.
In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
Click the Purchased link in the top-right of the Store home page (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.
iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.
If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re using Album view, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
To download an item, click the Download button to the right of the item.
From: iTunes 10 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1706
Once you get to the page for your Movies or TV Shows, there should be a checkbox that says Download HD When Available. Uncheck that, and then download your purchase and that should get you the SD version of your video.
Take care,
Sterling

I can't sync my iPod touch 1st generation with macbook pro

I can't sync my ipod touch 1st generation with macbook pro.
It recognises that its my ipod and says sync completed but there is no music or content on the ipod from my itunes library.

Thanks Chris. Have tried this but does not work. I restored the ipod touch to original settings and erased all data a few weeks ago too as thought this would help but it hasn't. Any advice?

My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

I have same issue with iPad3. all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes. maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn. I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
I have restarted.
I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back! iCloud restore was perfect. I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
please advise.
thanks,
phil

My iPod touch 1st Generation won't turn, charge or appear on my computer

I have an ipod touch 1st generation that I got about 4 years ago. I don't use it that often because I now have an iPhone but when I went to use it, I found it was dead. It won't charge, turn on or appear on my computer or itunes. I've tried recovery and DFU mode but neither work, since it won't turn on at all. I've tried charging it for almost a whole day but it won't even show me a red battery charging icon. I've tried holding the home and power buttons for several minutes while its plugged in but still nothing. My cord is fine and works with other ipod and i have the newest version of itunes.I have a windows 7 computer. I don't live near enough to an apple store to take it in for them to look at and it's no longer under warrenty and it costs $20 for a one time support session online!! Is there anything i can to fix it without spending too much money or should i just accept its dead and not recovering?

Try the remaining iTunes of the following. I think you covered all but the last.:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

You may also have a hardware problem like a dead battery.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Many thanks in advance
