IT THEN KNOCKS OUT THE USB PORT SO YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THEM. I THEN RESTART COMPUTER AND THE PORTS RETURN. THE PORT RECOGNIZES THE NANO AND DOESN'T KNOCK OUT THE PORT. ANY IDEAS

Yes... take it to an Apple Store IF it's still under warranty. Otherwise, you can replace it with a refurbished 1s Gen or 2nd Gen Shuffle from the online Apple Store for $49 or $59.

  • HT1339 my ipod shuffle(1st generation) is corrupted (error 1442) it will not restore.             is it possible to correct this or is it beyond repair. It worked the last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Vista.

    My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not restore. It says it is corrupted(error 1442) Is it possible to correct this problem, or is it beyond repair. It worked last  time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

  • Ipod shuffle 1st generation, itunes 7.0

    My son just got a nano to replace shuffle 1st generation. Itunes recommended upgrading to 7.0 which we did, then the nano worked great. Grandma wants the shuffle and her songs on it, so I put it in 3 different usb ports and itunes and my computer still won't recognize it. I have restarted computer several times, and all usb ports I tried worked with the nano. What do I need to do? I searched the forums and all I found was to remove itunes and replace with older version of itunes. Won't that cause my son's nano to have issues with itunes again?

    iTunes locks when I attempt to load music from any
    music folder. iTunes will recognize my iPod after
    resetting it using the "iPod reset utility", but will
    lock if I try to drag and drop, or Autofill.
    However, iTunes will AUTOFILL from MUSIC folder at
    startup following use of "iPod reset utility". If I
    try to change the music or load a PODCAST, iPod
    locks and will not sync. I have tried the five r's,
    but no luck.
    What's wrong with upgrading iTunes to 7.1.1(5)?

  • HT1477 can you charge a ipod shuffle 1st generation by pluging it into a computer

    I was wondering if you could charge a ipod shuffle 1st generation by pluging it into a computer

    It's either that, or plugging it into a USB power adapter... 

  • HT1814 ipod shuffle 1st generation...

    i have an ipod shuffle 1st generation,its not connected to my mac anymore and it keeps blinking green at the top of the buttons.i already put music on it and it wont play...?

    Open iTunes and then plug in the device. Try the back switch in the "off" position. Then windows should install necessary device drivers, then iTunes should take over.

  • IPod Shuffle 1st generation

    I have 2 iPod Shuffle 1st generations and they are both experiencing the same problem. They will play the music I download and the background music is clear in both ears but the main vocals are very, very quiet. I have tried 2 sets of working earbuds and both have the same problem. Neither have been used in a long time.

    This is my second used ipod shuffle 1st generation.
    I don't know if I'm stupid, crazy, or terribly
    unlucky at this point, but I can't get the thing to
    play (No problems with my video ipod ever !)I've
    done everything in the manual. I've loaded it
    through iTunes and it shows that the podcasts are on
    there and the guide at the bottom shows that it's
    3/4 full. It's charged. I unplug it from the USB
    shove the head phones in, turn it on (the little
    battery light shows it's getting juice)I press
    play...nothing. I go through all the steps of
    restoring ect. ad nauseum....nothing ! I press play
    again (maybe it's on pause???....nothing! I turn it
    up...I advance to the next
    track?....nothing...nothing....nothing)
    Since the exact thing is happening with this one (the
    second one), and I've spent hours troubleshooting
    them I don't know what else to do but give up and cry
    into my beer.
    Help !
    Is the switch set to the 1st position, eg play-in-order?

  • Help with iPod Shuffle - 1st generation - After restoring

    Okay, i needed to restore my iPod shuffle (1st gen), as it was n't letting me put songs on. So when it restored, it started to autofill from the music library randomly, so all my songs were jumbled up. I didn't want this, so I tried to autofill it myself without the 'choose items randomly' box ticked, but it wouldn't synch. So, I restored it again, and tried again. As it was restoring, I noticed in a box that came up, I think were you type in the name of your iPod, there was a box that said something along the lines of 'Autofill from music library automatically when restored', so i unticked it. When it was restored again, and now completely empty, it wouldn't let me autofill manually again. So, just to get songs on my iPod, i have to have them on random, which I do NOT want.
    Does anybody know what to do? I've tried that reset utlity thing, but that just comes up with the same thing.
    Any help will be welcome
    Thankyou!!!
    iPod Shuffle 1st Generation Windows XP

    On the contents page at the bottom, there is a box that reads "Choose Items Randomly". Uncheck it. I just noticed it while trying to sync my own iPod.

  • How do you delete an id on ipod shuffle 1st generation?

    I'm selling my iPod shuffle 1st generation and I can't get my name off of my iPod when I connect it to my laptop.

    Select it in the iTunes sidebar, click on its name, and type a new name. If you're using iTunes 11, choose to show the sidebar from the View menu.

  • Why does my iPad ( 1st generation) keep shutting down

    Does anyone have any ideas why my iPad (1st generation) keep closing down and what I need to do to rectify it?

    Pam-
    It could be that the battery charge indicator is showing 100 percent when you actually have almost no charge left.  In case that is the problem, leave your iPad connected to its wall charger overnight, and see if that helps.
    One other thing to try, is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes solves mysterious problems.

  • IPad 1st generation keeps asking to be connected to iTunes every time

    Hi,
    My 2nd iPad (1st generation) keeps asking to be connected every time it wakes up either from turn off or standby. I am really tired of restoring the same stuff again and again. If I am less lucky that day, Apple logo freezes forever until iPad gets so hot.
    Are there any suggestions? I am using latest version of iTunes, tried connecting to Windows PC using different ports and 4 different cables, there are no security conflicts etc or TCP/IP issues.
    Shall I return it to Apple? It is only 7 days that I had this delivered. I do not want to worship to this gadget - want to read my stuff, check my emails and all basic stuff. Tired of recovering 2-3 times a day. Waste of my time.
    Let me know if you have any suggestions.
    Thanks,

    Was searching and trying all kinds of solutions - Apple suggests some very complicated ones as well...
    I was not able to connect to my itunes and/or sync because of it...  I found this in another thread and it solved my issues and everything is working for me now... 
    I found this, easy enough to follow solution that actually worked. in a single user's post in the forums here somewhere.  Can't find it again to say thanks to whoever it was, which prompted me to post it everywhere so everyone else can find it:
    (Note: this is for Windows 8, but the solution for other versions is similar - you might need to try a few other folders, but are still looking for "Apple Device" under "Device Manager".)
    Connect your iPad/iPhone/iPod to your PC
    Go to: Control Panel > Device Manager
    Click on: Portable Devices
    Right click on: Apple iPad/iPhone/iPod > Update Driver Software
    Choose: Browse my computer for driver software.
    Go to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    Click okay and everything should suddenly work fine again.  (I can't remember if I had to choose "trust" again, but if I did, I only had to do it the once and everything was fixed after that).
    Hope it helps!

  • My new iPad keeps knocking out the whole household's WIFI

    I got a new iPad 16GB 4th gen today. I have got as far as connecting to my WIFI to set it up and have typed in my password for the WIFI. Now I cannot get any further because the iPad keeps knocking out the WIFI connection for the whole household. I literally cannot set up my iPad because it keeps killing my connection the minute it is switched on. Can anyone help?

    Sounds like there is a bug in the firmware of your router.
    Check for a firmware update on the support web page of your router's manufacturer.

  • My apps on my iPod 4th generation keep closing out on me, why does it do that, and how can I stop it?

    My apps on my iPod 4th generation keep closing out on me, why does it do that, and how can I stop it?

    The above comment is not helpful to me, and I'm also guessing many people, but who knows. I've seen the same recommendation in many, many threads on this same topic, but only once have I seen that the resolution solved the problem for anyone, unless those people didn't follow up. Anyway,I found the below comment which made sense and may be the source of the issue. Too many apps running in the background - turn them off or simply do a hard reset to kill them all at once.

    Apparently, ios closes apps it can't (or thinks it can't) run because of too few RAM available. Double-press the home button and close any still running apps in the background. There are apps that serve to clear up some of your RAM. You will need to do this every once in a while, though.
    Clearing disk space will also help - remove any files you don't need/use and try to keep a clean disc in overall.

    You'll have to restore your device in iTunes. Connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
