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)
- Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults.

    My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    If you mean the headphones work but the speaker does not:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem

    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • 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.

  • IPod Touch 1st generation won't start up after hard reset

    My iPod Touch 1st generation stopped working after I clicked "Erase all contents & settings". It won't start unless I hold the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button together. Then I get the Apple Logo but after a short time a wheel appears just below the logo which never disappears. I have pressed those 2 buttons while the iPod is plugged in to a power source & left it overnight but the wheel still doesn't disappear & nothing further happens. Any suggestions?

  • IPod Touch 1st generation won't connect to wifi

    I recently purchased a used iPod touch 1st generation and it will recognize the networks but gives error "unable to join network.". I have reset the phone by pressing home and power and have reset the network also.  Turning the phone off and on doesn't work either.  I will show the network but not any information.  Thanks for the help!

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

  • My iPod touch 3rd generation won't play on my iPod dock when the alarm I set goes off. It plays normally and charges, but it won't work with the alarm. Could it be the iPod dock or my iPod?

    My iPod touch just recently started doing this: I plug it in to my Sony iPod dock/alarm clock/radio. It charges fine and plays music fine, but when I set the alarm for it to go off, it doesn't go off. I can see that the dock is indicating that the alarm is going off, but the iPod isn't playing music. Could it be my iPod or the dock?
    Also, there were 2 times when I plugged in my iPod to charge (once with a wall charger and once with the dock) and it said that it was fully charged. But it wasn't fully charged. I bought one of those iPod wall chargers from Target. It's not an Apple charger, but it is for iPods. Could it be that?
    I'm going to try to reset my iPod and see if that helps any.

    I have contacted apple support and Bose support.  When I have heard back will post for everyone.  I do encourage everyone to contact both companies until we get an answer to hopefully solve this issue.  The more people who contact them about the issue, maybe the better chance they will help fix the issue.

  • My iPod touch 1st generation won't connect to iTunes or YouTube.

    Please advise how to resolve issue.

    If you mean that when you connect the iPod to your computer it does not appear iniTunes then:
    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 Features app in 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

  • TS1702 I restored my iPod touch 1st generation and the App Store won't let me download apps I previously had.

    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.

  • TS1702 I have the ipod touch 1st generation and my downloaded apps won't run. How do i get them to work?

    I have the ipod touch 1st generation and none of my downloaded apps will run. how do i get them to work? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
    If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.
