Ipod touch 1st generation upgrade to 2nd generation?
I purchased my 8GB Black Ipod Touch about one year ago, I also purchased the 3 year warranty with it, now I was wondering I paid $300 for this Ipod and another $60 for the warranty, in total i paid $360 for my Ipod. Now I see that the new Second generation ipods are only $230 and come with alot more features. I was wondering if there was a way I can upgrade too the second generation by returning my first generation Ipod?. Do you see where im coming from i payed like $130 more then the new one that just came out, I think its only fair if i return my ipod for the new one. Just wanted to see If that was possible. thanks for the help.
Hello ntbaseball07,
I certainly understand wanting to have the latest and greatest! I also agree that it's important to get the best value.
Best Buy® doesn't offer an upgrade program for the products we sell. While your Performance Service Plan (PSP) will cover most repair concerns that might develop, it doesn't offer an avenue to upgrade either. Unfortunately, we would not be able to accomodate a transaction like the one you suggest. We will certainly live up to the coverage of your PSP if you develop problems with your iPod!
I hope this helps.

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. -

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.
glad i could help
please close this thread by marking your question answered !
happy computing ...

2nd Generation iPod Touch won't upgrade to iOS 4.2
I just traded my old 2nd generation ipod touch with apple for one with a new battery. I sync it with itynes and am told to upgrade the IOS to 4.2. When I try, i get this message: The iPod "Bob's iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1).
I have also tried to update the software using my older MacBook with an earlier version of iTunes and get the same message. I even complained to Apple and they sent me another replacement and I still get the message. I am told that you can upgrade the 2nd generation to 4.2 but it doesn't work for me. I have disabled my antivirus software and everything else I can think of. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I may be doing wrong?Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case 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. -
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 won't play on ihome doc
I have a 1st generation ipod touch, 32GB. I received an iHome for Christmas last year that states it is compatible with the 1st generation ipod touch however when I put it in the cradle, it connects and disconnects over and over. I looked and iTunes stated that there were no updates available for my ipod. I thought the iHome was defective so I exchanged it for another one and it does the same thing. The iHome does play with the 2nd generation iPod Nano so I don't think it is an issue with the iHome. Anyone else have this problem and know how to remedy it?
- What iOS is on the iPod? The latest is 3.1.3 and yu get that here not via the iTunes update button.
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

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.
