The Genius playlist and the 1st Generation ipod touch

I am just wondering, is the genius playlist ability not available to the 1st Generation iPod touch or does it only work on certain songs?
Because it would be really annoying if they limited to the 2nd Generation iPod touch only.

Another post here said to just go ahead and resync your iPod and it should start working. And it did for me. If that does not work make sure that genius is enabled on your iTunes, otherwise it will not add the functionality to your iPod.
Hope that helps

  • Can I run the Netflix app on a 1st generation Ipod Touch running 3.1.3?

    I have a 1st generation ipod touch running ios 3.1.3. I want to run netflix on it but when I try to install from itunes I get the message "The app "Netflix" was not installed on the IPOD because it requires a newer version of IPOD software." I have read from goggling this issue that netflix streaming on the 1st gen ipod is possible. What am I doing wrong? Or is this not possible at all?

    "The "reason" that Netflix will not work with iOS 3.1.3 is because Netflix does so much that iOS 3.1.3 cannot handle it. SImple."
    This is untrue, as was stated earlier:
    I was running netflix on an itouch first generation ios 3.1.3 untill the glich with the app store.  The newest update will not run on it now and I lost the original version when I reset the Itouch thinking the problem was on my end.
    If you had said it's "incompatible" instead of "cannot handle it" or specified the version of the Netflix, perhaps the new Netflix app is so incredible, or rather it "does so much" MORE, you might be within the realm of having some useful input, but the following:
    It would appear so!
    leads me to understand you don't know what you're talking about or you're a wannabe company man and just lying.
    If anyone else has useful information regarding running the Netflix app that certainly worked for us Netflix subscribers who are also 1g owners–and there are at least thousands, if not tens of thousands–and were using the app before we upgraded to 3.1.3 or restored and downloaded the latest Netflix app, it'd be great to hear from them.  1. 2. 3. SImple.

  • Does The contour flick case fit 1st generation ipod touch?

    So i am really really interested in the contour flick case (specifically because it comes in orange) but it says for second generation. I know the second generation has slimmer dimensions, but by how much? Please help! Thanks in advance!

    It will not fit the 1G iPod touch. I guaranty it.
    the 2G iPod touch is a completely different shape, and the 1G is bulkier.

  • My 1st generation Ipod touch won't turn on at all and whenever I press the buttons to reset it all I get is a white screen, or a white screen with black lines across.

    You can work through the five 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.

    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • Why isn't the new iOS4 update compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch

    It makes me extremely angry that i have wanted what the new update contains ever since i got my ipod and now I can't have it because whoever made the update didn't make it compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch. Ig someone could give me a good reason as to why this happened that would be much appreciated.

  • Ios 3.1.1 will not download for the 1st generation ipod touch

    Why won't ios 3.1.1 download for the 1st generation ipod touch?  It will start and then a second later stop.

    Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
    Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
    Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps?  You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • How do you get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch

    How do I get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch?

    By updating the iOS on the iPOd.  The 1G can go as high as 3.1.3.  That works with a lot of apps.  But some apps require a higher iOS and/or newer iPod.

  • Why do the new earphones not work with 1st Generation iPod touch?

    Does the 1st generation iPod touch not "recognise" [recognize if you are American] these functions? I am talking about the microphone and the button on the new earphones.

    Then why don't apple make ear phones with microphone which the 1st gen itouch will recognised...
    Because the Touch is primarily a music player, that is what I purchased and I'm quite satisfied with it as it is.
    I'm so fed up of the way Apple Market...
    What are their plans for their consumers... to
    to keep buying new Ipods?!?!?!
    Err...Yes! Welcome to the real world.
    3G Iphone was released shortly after the Iphone...
    why couldnt they make us wait longer...and get the 3G
    You still don't understand this commercial world do you?
    same with Ipod Touch... yes i Understand new Gen ipods...would have better features...
    Let's all wait a hundred years when they bring out the the brain implants...
    But hey wats up with making us fall with Apple...we like the designs, the features...but why then bring in new ones that apple know will not let our old ipods adapt to it.
    You like the design, you buy it, enjoy what you have and don't get so jealous.
    Sick of Apple... they do it on purpose... I guarantee...
    No way?!
    the new Iphone to realease next year....would be Iphone 8.0 mega pixels camera video recording....either way...they would make their customers regret for buying their old Iphones and Ipods...
    If so, then I might buy one, but then I wouldn't moan if a better one was released six months later.
    4 now, do something about the new ear head phones....cos apart of app store and applications...we want to be ablt to use microphones...to communicate on social networking...and voice memos...
    This maybe because the hardware is simply incompatible, they cannot cover every eventuality, had they done so the Touch would have been more expensive and I would not have bought one.
    Technology moves on, fact. I you don't feel Apple are playing fair then just avoid their products, that'll learn 'em.
    By the way, if you want Apple to hear your thoughts go here - [Feedback|http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html]

  • I have the 1st generation ipod touch is there anyway that apple will trade it for the new ipod touch even if i have to put in a little money myself like some trade in credit or somthing?

    I have the 1st generation ipod touch looking to trade for the new ipod touch or someone to give me money for the new ipod touch

    There is no trade in program.
    You can sell to to someone.
    Apple has a recycling program where they will give you 10% off of a new ipod if your bring in your old one.

  • 1st Generation iPod Touch & Smart Playlists

    My 1st Generation iPod Touch will not sync my Smart Playlists. After syncing, the Playlists appear under my iPod touch in the iTunes 11 sidebar. On my iPod Touch all songs/tracks for the playlists load into the iPod's library and can be accessed. Playlist names however either do not appear on the iPod or the ones that do appear may be empty. I've used these same Playlists for many years and have only recently started seeing this. I have done a full restore of my iPod Touch, the OS software is up to date and I've tried creating new Playlists with the same results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    i have started the guided access and that time my ipod touch 3 battery gets over now i cant close my ipod or cannot restore it

    Without knowing what happens when you try to restore the iPod
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.
