Three things must match up exactly in order for the AirPort Express to join a wireless network
1) The Express must use the exact same wireless network name
2) The Express must use the exact same wireless network password
3) The Express must use the exact same wireless security settings
Most users get 1) and 2) correct, but do not know or fail to provide the Express with the correct wireless security settings to join the network. The result is the same error message that you are receiving now.
Basically, this error is saying that the Express stored the settings that you provided for it correctly, but those settings were not the correct settings to join the network.
Do you know the exact type of wireless security that your wireless router is using?

I found my brother's old 1st generation iPod. An unknown error 1442 keeps appearing every time I try to restore the iPod.

Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

Help required to restore my old 1st generation iPhone!

I got this old US purchased 1st generation iPhone 8GB which I simply failed to get it restore through using iTunes. I have followed what is advise on Youtube whereby you can virtually get anything but not mine to works. It keeps locking out the phone & allows only the emergency calls. I wonder does it relate to it's original location whereby the telco provider sim lock or etc and I would have to need to use a US SIM card inserted in order to get it rectify? Any ideas? I can still use it as a simple call and answer hand-set but cannot goes into its IOS if I insert any working SIM card. Thanks

Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below. Then search YouTube for activating.

Please can anyone help? My brother has given me his old 1st generation iPod and, while I love some of the music on it, some of it is awful!! How do I delete individual songs without having to reset and lose everything?? There must be an easy answer.

Please can anyone help? My brother has given me his old iPod 1st Gen 30GB. It has loads of music on it that I love and don't want to lose however there is quite a bit of stuff that I really don't want. How can I remove the songs I don't like without having to reset the iPod and lose the songs I do like. I'm sure there's an easy answer but I just can't figure it out!!

Hi there, there doen't seem to be any option to "select songs and videos" so this hasn't helped I'm afraid. I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that I'm going to have to reset and lose the lot.

What is the best way to connect my old 1st generation iPhone to my stereo receiver so I can listen to pandora?

What is the best way to connect my first generation iPhone to my stereo receiver so that I can listen to Pandora through the stereo?

I am hoping someone will answer this question you have asked. I just purchased the iSimple Gateway system and even though it says on the box that it works with the iphone3G when I plug it in to the 30pin connector it says that it does not support. It does work when I plug an iPhone4G . I have to use the headphone jack only with my 3G to listen to Pandora untill I figure out the problem .

How can i still configure an old (1st) generation airport with current software?

D/All,
Im trying to configure my first generation airport but it doesnt work with the current software. It gives all sorts of error messages, any suggestion how I can still configure it? Have already done a full reset, connected it to the network but nothing worked.
Thnks!

You will need to use AirPort Utility 5.x to configure the older AirPort.
That would mean using.....or borrowing for 10-15 minutes.......a Mac running the Leopard or Snow Leopard operating system, or a PC.

Interface or converter for 1st generation 10GB iPod to car kit ?

Hi, replaced my old but well doing 1st generation 10GB iPod by a new 4GB nano because the old accu is almost all down. Have as well installed a bn iPod car kit instead of my car CD player. My idea was to use the old 10GB iPod in the cars glove box, because the weary battery wouldn´t bother any more since it´s connected to the cars electric supply.
The PROBLEM is: the connecting plug of the car kit fits all new iPod models, but not to the old 1st generation iPod.
Is there a converter or sort of interface available?
Or does anybody know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance for any hint and tip! Would be a pity to use it simply as a storage HD...

Yeah, 1st gen came with Firewire port, you can try to find a firewire adapater which is not easy at all. However, you can plug an audio fm transmitter with the headphone jack of your iPod

No updated apps work on 1st generation?

Hey,
I am hoping someone can help me out.
I just got an ipad mini for Christmas, so my husband was planning to use my old 1st generation ipad for himself. He hooked it up to his labtop to sync his things but now basically no apps are working. Everything seems to ask for a later version of software but the ipad says its at the latest version. Basically, he has no apps to use (netflix, CTV, games etc) dont work at all - meaning everything he wanted it for. Its pretty much useless to him.
Is there a way to fix this? Whats going on?

Luckilly Apple realized this problem and made a fix. You have to delete the apps that don't work and download them again off the App Store. Now, iTunes will prompt you to download that latest version of the app that works on your current iOS version.

Using Old First Generation Firewire iPod With Laptop USB

I was hoping that someone could help me out here.
I have an old 1st generation iPod that I bought back in 2003. It holds 10G. It used the Firewire cable, but now I have a Dell Inspiron laptop that has only USB. I tried to plug in this iPod using a USB/Firewire hub, but the device is not recognized by iTunes and furthermore, the iPod does not seem to respond with the "Do Not Disconnect" message. It seems like there's no communication at all. My questions are the following:
1) Can a 1st generation iPod be recognized in iTunes?
2) Can I use a USB/Firewire hub to connect my iPod to the USB?
I really don't want this 1st generation iPod to go to waste! I hope I can still use it with up-to-date technology.
Anyone care to lend me some assistance as to what I can do to make it work with USB?
Thanks a lot for your support.

A firewire iPod isn't going to work with USB so you
can drop that idea. However, your notebook has a PC
Card slot, right? If so, you should be able to find a
FireWire PC Card which will let you sync your iPod
with the notebook.
Thank you Chris and dwb. Your feedback is very valuable. Chris, thanks for reassuring me that iTunes will still recognize my OOLLLDDD iPod. Dwb, thanks for referring me to the PCMCIA Firewire card.
Take care.

I just found my old ipod touch (i think 1st generation) and would like to let my toddler use it instead of my phone. I am trying to download apps but it say I need to update to 4.3 but it won't let me update. I have the most recent itunes. any idea why?

I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??

The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.
