TM (1st Gen), Lion, Thunderbolt, and Internet/Mail Access

Hi everyone,
I ran into a bit of a problem that has me stumped. I upgraded to Lion on a new Macbook Pro back in July. I have an Apple Thunderbolt display connected to the MBP. I recently unboxed and connected my 1st generation Time Machine and started having internet connection issues. I am not using my TM to create a wireless network but only as a hard drive to back up my laptop. I connect to a wireless network not created through this TM. My TM is connected via the ethernet port on back of the Thunderbolt display. My observation is that whenever the TM is connected I have internet connection issues (mail - iCloud/Gmail, Safari, and Firefox). Whenever I disconnect the TM from the ethernet port on the Thunderbolt display and turn off Time Machine from the Time Machine Preferences, I have no connection issues.
Has anyone run into a similar problem? I would like to continue using TM to back up my MBP hard drive but also want to be able to access the internet. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I called Apple support and they helped me solve the problem. I should have written down the specifics, but basically I needed to streamline my prefs. I was using both DHCP and PPPoE. I turned off the PPPoE setting in the Airport utility in the utility folder in the Applications menu. Sorry I can't be more specific. I then had to restart the computer for the changes to take affect.

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue. You can leave feedback for Apple at the link below.

Hello! i tried to install OS5 in my 1st gen IPAD (16gb) and it froze in the process. My IPad still runs normally (on OS 4) EXCEPT itunes cannot recognize, sync or even charge my IPad!

hello! i tried to install OS5 in my 1st gen IPAD (16gb) and it froze in the process. My IPad still runs normally (on OS 4) EXCEPT itunes cannot recognize, sync or even charge my IPad!

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Is there any differences between a iPod nano 1st gen usb cable and a iPhone 3G usb cable? thanks

Is there any differences between a iPod nano 1st gen usb cable and a iPhone 3G usb cable? thanks

Yes you have a one year warranty from the date of purchase from Apple. Go to this link and on the bottom right hand side it will ask you to enter your serial number and will tell you if you are still under warranty. http://www.apple.com/support/
If you are you can take it to a Apple store, or request service online here http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
If it is out of warranty you can google a third party service provider and get it serviced out of warranty. There are two that I know of that provide free diagnostic service. You only pay for shipping and they will tell you what is wrong and what it will cost to fix. They are ifixipodsfast.com and ipodmods.com but there are others also (I just have no experience with them) Good luck and as was stated it should charge from your usb. and just for grins, look at the docking connector on your ipod and see if there is any obstruction that is obvious.

How do i find my 1st gen nano library and transfer it to my itouch library

I had a 1st gen Nano and purchased an itouch. I noticed that once I registered my itouch, the nano library never came back up. I no longer have the nano. How can I find my nano library on my hard drive and transfer those songs to my itouch?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The music should be in your iTunes library. Open iTunes to configure what's put on your iPod touch.
If you had the +iPod nano+ set to manually managing music and have been deleting it out of iTunes after copying it to iTunes (not a scheme I could ever recommend) then you'll have to re-rip or re-import the music to iTunes.

1st Gen Time Capsule and External Hard Drive Issues

I have a 1st generation Time Capsule and have never had any luck connecting an external hard drive (both Western Digital MyBook and Seagate FreeAgent Pro) via an USB hub for an extended period. They will connect for a few hours or up to a day or two before they lose the connection and look up the wi-fi connection (although the internet and connected printer don't seem affected). Thought it might be an issue with the powered hub, but have same issue with both (Belkin and APC). I have read that others have had similar issues.
For laughs, I connected a dinky personal drive (WD My Passpoert 750gb) to the USB hub and it came up instantly and had no issues for the 12+ hours it was connected. Question #1: can I run a portable drive for an extended period of time (weeks, months, years) via USB hub without killing it?
Also, I would like to house my large iTunes and iPhoto libraries to be accessed by 3 different MacBooks. Question #2: is a NAS drive connected directly via ethernet to the TC is the best answer?
I am spoiled by the simplicity of the plug-and-play connectivity of Apple products. Is there a mysterious sequence of procedures that I need to follow to get the Time Capsule to play well with the USB connected HDs?
Thanks in advance for your help.

To answer the general question, a drive that is constantly spinning is both more likely to be damaged and less likely to give issues of access to the USB.. the one fights the other. Feel the small passport drive and see if it is continually spinning.. if so that could account for it maintaining connection.. although according to your testing 12hrs is not long enough to know for sure. Feel the other drives. If they spin down and then when you try to access them, do they spin up? Or is it the spin down time that dictates the time they are available on the network. It may simply be a case of usb connected to a router is not getting the correct spin up info.
IMHO a NAS is the right way to do this.. especially if you have multiple computers accessing it. USB is not a fast connection. Especially hanging off the TC series 1, were not renowned for speed. A NAS is not that expensive now and using a mirrored raid you at least have some protection. Remember to always have the source files in mulitple locations. A NAS can also work as an itunes server, which the TC cannot. And the connection from gigabit ethernet to sata is not made via usb.
As a secondary option.. open your series 1 TC and put in a 2TB hdd.. this is well documented.. larger sizes give trouble but the series one can easily be updated to 2TB.. remember also the power supply in a series one can go at any moment. Get ready for it, plan for it.. one day it will happen.

How I got my Nano 1st gen to update and work

I just got my iPod nano 1st gen today (refurb)
I plugged it in......and got nothing but the flashing folder. I couldn't get it to restore or update...each time I got an error saying a file was in use or a 1418 error. Disk Utility wouldn't recognize the Nano but System Profiler would. I tried over 15 times...still nothing; would not update. I tried resetting the nano, putting in disk mode....nothing. I tried resetting during the update...nothing. Then finally, while using the stand alone iPod updater, I opened iTunes simultaneously and voila, something started happening. Whereas in the beginning, it was formatted for Windows (received that way) all of the sudden it said formatted for Macintosh, then lo and behold my nano rebooted and started working.
I'm so happy. I have previously only owned the shuffle and was so looking foward to this Nano (which I got at a great price, btw US$99.00)
So, what do I think actually did the trick? I'm not sure. The combination of resetting the iPod during the update using the stand alone iPod updater and lauching iTunes 7 simultaneously for some reason worked.
Hope this helps someone who is having a similar problem.

Which "standalone iPod updater" did you use? iPod Updater 2006-06-28 for Mac ?
My understanding was that iTunes 7.0 took away the need for standalone iPod updaters. I've been researching this topic for an hour, and hope of recovering my nano is waning.

1st gen Apple tv and Zeppelin air

Hi, would my 1st gen Apple tv stream via AirPlay to a Zeppelin air? Thanks

In theory I would expect it to do so, but I would check with B&W if it behaves to all intents and purposes as an Airport Express does for Airtunes.
Hopefully someone with the combination will confirm.

What itunes version supports 1st gen ipod touch and iphone 4s

I recently purchased an iPhone 4S. I also have a 1st gen iPOD touch. I am concerned that t the new version of iTunes will not support the touch. Is there a version of iTunes that supports both?

Mountain Lion upgrade and Internet connection problems ?

Since I upgraded my Macbook Air, it does not want to connect to my home Internet network anymore. My Ipad, Iphone and tablet PC are all working fine, but to connect to the network I need to restart and even reset my router to be able to connect. Needless to say, I lose connection when it gets into sleep mode and when it is shut down. Anyone having the same problem or a solution ?

I'm having similar problems with a 2012 13" MacBook Air. It's brand new, came installed with Mountain Lion.
I get disconnected from the wireless randomly and the wireless icons turns gray. Like you, I have an iPad, multiple computers and they all work fine.
Instead of restarting the router, I go into Safari and do a network diagnostics and it picks up the connection easily enough.
No solution as of yet, but I posted a topic here if you want to follow it:

I have a 1st gen iPod Touch and have purchased the ios 3.1, but cannot get it to download from the store to the iPod? On iTunes, it says that I have the current version of 2.1 Help!

I have purchased the ios 3.1 update for my 1st generation iPod Touch, but cannot get it to download. When I check the summary on iTunes, it says that I have the most up-to-date version of 2.1. I really need to update to 3.1 to download some games for my son. I have an iPad and do not want to purchase a new iPod if I can get some games on the current one.
Thanks in advance!

So you are saying that you purchased it by:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Is iTunes signed into the same iTunes account that purchased it?
How long ago did you purchase it?
Did you purchase it on another computer?

I have an Ipod Video 60 GB (1st Gen from 2006) and I cannot get it to show up in my iTunes version 11.0 that I just upgraded to. It won't show up as a disk under Disk Utility either. I cannot get it to stop saying "Do Not Disconnect" to use it either.

I have had the same issue with my Ipod Nano (bought 2011). It would not show up in Itunes on my macbook unibody (2009). Please help!

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

Is it possible to run iTunes from a NAS hard drive so that the content is available to 1st Gen Apple TV and I can turn off my MacBook and still see the content of the library?

I have a first gen Apple TV with a 160 gig hard drive, it is nearly full with films and music, my iTunes library is well over 190 gig and climbing, the only way I can access all of my music and films is to have iTunes open on my Mac. I have now moved my library to a NAS device and I want to be able to run iTunes so that my entire library is available on the Apple TV without having to have my Mac switched on. So the first question I have, is this possible? Secondly, if it is possible how do you do it?
The ideal solution would be for iTunes to run from the NAS as I have already told iTunes my library is there.
Thank

You can certainly put your library on a flash drive, though I'd strongly, strongly recommend that you have another copy of your library elsewhere, as flash drives are easily lost, broken or corrupted. You cannot count on tracks always being available for redownload from the iTunes Store, if you have any such.
The easiest way to move your library is to just drag the entire iTunes folder (the _entire_ folder, _not_ just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder in it's new location.
Note that this procedure assumes that all of your tracks are contained in the iTunes folder. If they're scattered around your volumes, moving them becomes much more complex. And don't launch iTunes with the flash drive not mounted or iTunes will default back to the internal drive. If it does, though, just mount the external drive and launch iTunes with the Shift key again.
Don't delete the tracks from the old location until you've confirmed that they're working correctly from the flash drive.
Regards.
