My ipod touch 1st generation doesnt turn on

I have an iPod touch 8gb 1st generation. i attempt to turn it on, but it just turns of by itself. i have charged it by the computer and the wall outlet.

Did you try to connect in recovery mode and restore?
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If this does not help, maybe you should get it serviced, the battery might be damaged.

My ipod touch 1st generation doesnt wanna charge and its not recognized on iTunes!

Ok so when i try to charge my ipod touch 1st gen 8 gigs wit the usb it doesnt want too even wit the outlet charger it doesnt want too. its not even recognized by itunes either. i have a ipod classic 120 gigs that one does charge by the outlet and usb and its recognized by itunes. i dont know why my ipod touch doesnt wanna charge or be recognized by itunes whats wrong??? my usb is version 2.0 also.

You can try the troubleshooting here. If that does not work I suggest an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store since you may have a hardwar problem like a dead battery.

That's a hardware problem. It will be replaced under warranty provided that there is no evidence of abuse.
Examples of abuse include any attempt to modify the unit, such as jailbreaking.

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?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

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.

Ipod touch 1st gen wont turn on passed apple logo

Ok so i have an ipod touch 1st generation that wont turn on passed the apple logo screen. Like a week ago it shut down cuz it ran outta battery cuz i didnt notice my charger wasnt plugged into the wall properly. So i plugged it in and had to spend like 10 minutes readjusting the extension cord its plugged into. Since then it charges just fine, but wont turn on passed the apple screen. Ive tried letting it charge till its full but it just stays on the apple screen till it dies again. Ive tried leaving it completely off for a few days but that did nothing. I keep seeing that people recommend i plug it into the computer and reset it, but that risks loosing all my data on it. I have over 5000 pictures (It has 16GB) on this thing that i use for references to almost all my work i do, All my notes and backup contact info and certain apps that track important things i never write down. I just cant risk loosing this data. This ipod has never been successful in making a backup in passed attempts. So im not sure what to do. So i guess my question is, Is there anything else i can do or anything im missing that would fix this?
PS, buying a new one or taking it in is not an option, i got this one as a birthday gift like 5 years ago, i could never actually afford to buy a new one. Also i have no idea what iOS its using, as far as i can remember i haven't updated or changed it since i got it, i know its before iOS 3. cuz i cant download any apps passed that.

Try the following. However, it is likely the iPod will be erased:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- Try another cable
- Try on another computer

Hello, I have stolen my iPod Touch (1st generation) and would like to know if I could find it in some way.

Hello, I have stolen my iPod Touch (1st generation) and would like to know if I could find it in some way.

I presume you mean that your iPod touch has been stolen, not that you stole it which of course means something much different.
If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled or the iPod been completely restored).
If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

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

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.
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.

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.
