TS1410 My Mac recognises all devices apart from 1st gen ipod touch

Just bought a 1st gen ipod touch for my 2 year old to play games on but despite connecting to wifi and charging on its dock, it fails to be recognised on our MacBook, despite all our other devices being problem free!?!

If you are using the USB docking cable connected to the same USB port, when you connect the iPod touch versus the "other devices," the problem may dock connector on the iPod touch.  What are the "other devices"?
When you say "charging on its dock," is that a different power-only connection?  Or is that dock connected to the USB port on your Mac with a docking cable?  If it's connected to the Mac through that dock accessory, what happens when you connect the iPod touch directly to the docking cable?
If you have another USB docking cable, try it with the iPod touch using a direct connection to the Mac's USB port (no dock or USB hub).

    I have mac os x 10.4.11& 1st gen ipod touch 2.2.1, so what itunes version do I need to use?

    Thank you!  The box says it is, but I have learned that the newer versions of itunes won't work.  I had an older version than the box requirements, but was not sure how high I could go, so thanks again!

  • How can I transfer all my music from 2nd gen iPod Touch to iPhone 5?

    When I connect my iPhone 5 to my MacBook Pro (Model MacBookPro2,2) running OS X 10.7.5 and iTunes 10.7 and try to sync, only my recently purchased music is copied to the iPhone.  Is there a way to directly transfer  ALL my music, currently contained on my 2nd ge neration iPod Touch (running iOS 4.2.1) or my first generation iPad to the iPhone 5?

    It needs to be stored on your Mac and in iTunes firs before it can be synced over to your iPhone 5.
    If all the content you want to sync to the iPhone 5 are purchases from the iTunes Store, you can redownload them all via iCloud directly from the iPhone assuming you live in a country where iCloud has gone live.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If it's non iTunes store purchased content that is no longer stored in iTunes on your Mac, you'll need to the help of third party software to help you get the job done. See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • WiFi icon and progress indicator disappeared from 1st Gen iPod Touch

    I've been using the OS 3.0 update since it came out, but about earlier this week I noticed that my WiFi icon disappeared from the top of my screen as well as the progress indicator. Now when I launch Mail, I can't tell if it is actually checking for mail or just sitting there. I also can't tell if I have WiFi or not unless I try an app that uses it. Currently, wifi is working just fine, I just can't get the indicator to work. Any suggestions? I've tried restarting a couple of times with no effect.

    try a reset, then retry. To reset the phone press and hold the sleep button and home button at the same time until you see a silver apple. DO NOT slide to turn off at the screen prompt, just keep holding those buttons until you see the apple.
    after trying that and it still doesnt work, try a restore.

  • Will 1st gen ipod touch still work with new itunes library on new computer (transfer didn't work from old computer)

    Ok, so I have a new computer and wanted to transfer my itunes library from my old computer. I could not get the files to transfer. I downloaded the newest version of itunes and see that I can download my previously purchased music to the new computer. I have mp3's that I can add in on my own so I don't have a problem starting over in itunes.
    My question is what happens when I plug in my 1st gen ipod touch and try to sync??? Will it erase what is on my ipod or will I be able to move the stuff from my ipod into my new itunes library?? Any info would be great...I'm happy with how my ipod is set up so I really don't want to mess with a good thing. Also, will I need to update and of my software on my ipod since it's 1st generation??
    Thanks for the help!!

    You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. If you do sync the iPod is erases and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    To avoid that see:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    Yes, the 1G works with the latest iTunes.
    To transfer iTunes purchases:

    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • No sound from left earplug on 1st gen iPod Touch

    Hey guys, I have a 1st generation iPod Touch and about 4 months from using it my left earphone stopped working. I even bought a brand new pair of earphones and still the left side doesn't work. Now im guessing its the ipods problem. I got the ipod touch free because I bought an iMac in July 2008 from apple.com because of the back to school sale. should i contact apple and have it sent in to be fixed? does the itouch have the 1 year warranty?
    thanks.

    Even refurbs should have a full one-year limited warranty, and I suggest you contact Apple about a repair. In the meantime, document the problem and report it quickly so your warranty doesn't run out. Good luck!

  • What is this? (From 4th Gen iPod Touch dock connector)

    I recently bought a 5th Gen iPod Touch which is great. My 4th gen broke a year ago and wouldn't charge. This morning I decided I'd see what's wrong with it. I shone my flashlight in the dock connector and I realised this thing wasn't connected to anything and was kind of just... sitting there. What is it?

    After charging overnight
    - 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 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.

  • I can no longer download anything from the new style app store on 1st gen iPod touch

    Whenever I click to install an app from app store the button disappears. If I click again in the general area that the button should be, I get a green empty button, if I cclick that, it turns blue but still nothing happens. On the old style app store it used to either begin unstallion or tell me that the app wasn't compatible with my device. Now I get NOTHING. Please can someone help?!

    I have the same problem with my 1st gen Touch.  It started a few days ago when I and many other 1st gen users noticed that we could no longer download podcasts directly to our iPods, and after a day or two that seemed to be fixed, but now the app store is broken for us.  For me when I try to download an app I press the button and then the graphics for the button get all jumbled.  I can see it's there but the edges and letters are all mixed up and wierd looking.  It turns green like the download button, and when I push that it turns blue and then just sits there doing nothing.  I know this isn't a problem with updating my software because anyone who knows anything about earlier models knows that they stopped updating the iOS for them a long long time ago.  This is definitely a problem on Apples end where they've made some kind of changes to the app store that break it on earlier iPods (I saw another post from a 2nd gen user who is having the same problem).  I hope Apple fixes this soon.

  • Can't Delete Movies from 5th gen iPod Touch?

    K... This is strange.  Before we headed to the Marvel Universe Live performance, my son asked me to free up some space on his 5th generation iPod touch 32gig.  So I did or at least I tried.  It didn't free up any space at all and general settings still says there's 18 movies????  I synced to iTunes and tried syncing again with no movies selected.  I then tried throwing a couple back on but it says no space. What gives?  It still thinks there on there but they don't show up except under the "About" settings.  Yes, I've already tried a hard reboot.  I just don't want to have to sit for hours while it restores.  I was going to run Disk Utility but didn't realize i can no longer do that.
    Any tips?

    OTHER
    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Transferring paid apps from 1rst gen ipod touch to 2nd Gen

    I'm replacing my first gen touch with a 2nd gen touch.
    I've got several paid for apps on the first gen.
    How do I install (transfer?) these on the new touch?
    I also want to reset my first gen touch- so that nothing ins on it except the default apps, so I can sell it.
    How do I transfer my paid apps to the new ipod touch?
    thanks

    Connect the original iPod touch to iTunes, select it, choose Transfer Purchases from the File menu, and then sync them to the new one. Click here and follow the instructions to erase the original iPod touch.

  • Save pictures from 5th Gen iPod Touch stuck in Recovery Mode

    My iPod Touch has never had any issues until the other day when the battery died and when I recharged it, the screen shows the connect to itunes graphic.  If I connect it to my MBP, I get the message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes".
    I have several hundred pictures on here that were never backed up to my MBP or iCloud, so I'll lose all of them if I restore.  I tried to force it out of recovery mode with various patterns of holding down the power and home button without any luck.  I've also downloaded RecBoot and using that to force it out of recovery mode doesn't work either.
    Are there any ways to either 1) get it out of recovery mode and working like normal without doing a hard restore or 2) rip all my unsaved pictures off it and then do a hard restore?
    Thanks!

    1) No
    2) No
    They are gone.  You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would wiht any digital camera

  • 1st Gen Ipod touch - 'updated' library by deleting all but newest

    Hi all. A couple of days ago I probably hit the capacity on my 16gb 1stG touch, after downloading a couple of podcasts. It 'updated' my music and video library, deleting all but the newest items.
    I'd like to know if my old stuff is still on there - I haven't synced it to a computer since my computer crashed, though we do have carbonite so not all is lost. Was just hoping I wouldn't have to go through all that - that the music and video would still be in there somewhere!
    I have used the Touch Copy software before and have put this same question in to their support. Any help / advice would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

    I've had the same thing happen multiple times over the last year. It always follows downloading podcasts through iTunes (not through a podcast app).
    I've only ever fixed it by re-syncing to iTunes. However, I'm away from my computer and no don't have access to any of my music or audiobooks.
    I'd love to know how to fix it from the iPod only. I've just power cycled and reset (hold wake/home buttons til it reboots) with no impact.

  • HT1918 Is there a way to merge multiple itunes accounts? My original itunes account (for my 1st gen ipod touch) has all of my purchases but it is not compatible with the icloud account.

    I had an ipod before the icloud was introduced.  All of my apps and music were purchased using this account.  In order to use icloud services, a me.com had to be created.  My purchases and apps are in the original account and my email, contacts, calendar and notes are in the new account.  Is there a way to merge them?

    You cannot merge accounts.
