Updating 1st gen touch to the iphone 2.0 software....help!!!!!

My itunes said there was a new software update I could download so I clicked ok. The "apple software update" box ran for days!!!!...I am not joking. Supposedly it has to backup, then download and restore. I finally had to stop it not knowing if it was stuck or not so I clicked "stop"...now it is stuck in the cancelling mode....for days!!!! My itunes is no longer on my desk top so now what? I am so new to all of this stuff!

Ok, I have itunes (newest version) back on my desktop. No way am I going to try to download new 2.2 software until I hear otherwise. I might though go to the apple store and have them load it. I guess I resolved my own issue this time!

  • My iphone shuts off randomly and the button is too sensitive. Like I don't even press the lock button and it shuts off. This happened after the 7.1 update. It's on the iphone 5.

    My iphone shuts off randomly and the button is too sensitive. Like I don't even press the lock button and it shuts off. Also when my finger barely rubs over the lock button, it shuts off too. This happened after the 7.1 update. It's on the iphone 5. Someone help me. I just want to fix this. Maybe if it's possible I can disable the lock button.

    The lock button does not turn OFF the iPhone. It will give you a screen with the option to turn OFF the iPhone. Possibly the battery is faulty. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple store for free battery diagnostic testing and evaluation.

  • Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs.  Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps

    ....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
    Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
    Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

  • IPod 1st Gen (Touch wheel, 10GB) isn't recognized - missing software?

    Recently, my 80GB video iPod decided to simply die on me, so I dug out my very first iPod, from 2001 or '02 I believe.
    It turns on fine, can scroll through menus, but there's nothing on it anymore - plug it into my computer (firewire-to-firewire), and the iPod goes through a menu where there's the disc and a magnifying glass and eventually a check mark (connotating that everything's fine) - but it never docks onto the computer or shows up on iTunes.
    I've SCOURED the internet for old iPod software updates, trying to find one early enough, so it can recognize it and I can restore and hopefully the problem will be fixed - but there's been SO many iPods since then, it's ancient, and no support was found anywhere.
    Does anyone have a solution, or a link to the earliest of iPod updaters? I looked for documentation, but it was 9 years ago - I don't have the CD anymore or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    *In the 'About' menu on the iPod, the current version that's installed is 1.5 - don't know if that matters.
    **I'm trying to connect to a 15-inch PowerBook G4 (Aluminum?), currently installed with iTunes 8

    The current version of iTunes should be able to connect to even the 1st gen iPod. The one you have is 2nd gen, if it's the one with the four clicking buttons around the touch wheel. I have one of those, and although I use it as my little emergency/maintenance FireWire startup drive (because the screen failed on it), it is still recognized by iTunes on my Mac. Over FireWire, of course.
    The first thing you should try is to put it into Disk Mode.

    Note: The procedure for your iPod is at the bottom, where it says +If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel+.
    If that works, connect it to the computer. Hopefully it will appear both on your desktop and in iTunes. If so, use the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod's hard drive and initialize its software. The latest available version of the software for that iPod will be installed.
    You may also want to try a different FireWire cable. It's just a regular cable, so you don't have to use the thin white one.

  • Win7 Not Installing Drivers for 1st Gen Touch

    Hello folks,
    I've been trying to get my 1st Gen Touch up and running in the most recent version of iTunes, installed onto a dual-boot machine (32-bit Vista and Win7). In Vista, the Touch works perfectly. Flip over to Win7, and no dice. I can hear the chime sounding that a USB device has been plugged in and removed, but at no point does any drivers actually install, no info pop-up that new hardware detected, and no iPod listed in the USB devices of Device Manager.
    I've tried following the directives of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852 to no effect; everything looks to be in order. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. The only, and I mean only, sign of life I've seen out of Win7 is the one time I managed to fluke my way into Recovery Mode on the Touch, at which point it was recognized as a generic iPod in Win7. I just didn't think that a recovery wipe and reinstall would be a necessary step to a normal installation.
    Further, I've also tried running the iTunes program in compatibility mode for Vista, and with Admin privileges for Win7 mode, to no effect. Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm overlooking? I know the hardware works; this has to be software...
    Thanks!

    I got it working, though the steps I had to use were draconian in measure, and not what I would reasonably expect the average user to endure just to get their iPods working. Since the Touch was showing signs of life in Factory Restore mode, I let it do that once. Wiped all the data out of it, but errored on the reinstall. Curious, I thought. I had Device Manager up at the time, and saw a generic 'iPod' entry in Portable Devices.
    Okay, fair enough... I restart the factory restore, wait for the generic 'iPod' entry. Right-click, Properties, 'Update Driver', search automatically. Suddenly, lo and behold, the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver shows up under USB Devices, and my Touch starts working as pretty as you please. I'm fortunate that I can go back into Vista to re-sync to get my music and apps back, but at least it's working now. Might I suggest seeing if there's a less Nuclear Option process for accomplishing the same goal?

  • HELP w/ 1st Gen Touch - want apps!

    I have a 1st Gen Touch (I think), anyhow, the current version it is running is 1.1.5. I am not able to put apps on it currently, and I'm pretty sure there is another version that allows me to do so.. However, my iTunes tells me that it has the latest version of software! HELP! Everything on-lines just tells me to do the normal check for upgrades, but it's not giving me anything, and I can't put any apps on it!

    maybe this helps: [_*Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052].

  • Can I attach a bluetooth device on my 1st Gen Touch.

    Hi,
    I am wondering if I could attach a bluetooth device on my 1st gen touch and then update my Touch to Ver 3 so that I can use the bluetooth features. Is this possible?
    JV

    Your friend installed an app that communicates with bluetooth devices? Please clarify.
    No, his friend has an iPod video, which cannot have apps installed on it. His friend attached a Bluetooth accessory for using Bluetooth headphones.

  • Finding iOS2 Apps for 1st Gen Touch

    So I've just got a hand me down 1st gen touch and I restored it as the easiest way to personalise it to be mine. The backup did not work so I've lost all the apps that were on it other than the iOs apps. When I go into the App Store on it to find new apps there is no apparent way to just view iOS 2 compliant apps. I'm tearing my hair out just trying to find a solitaire app.
    Any suggestions?
    BTW just made the sticky Home button much better with the alcohol trick.

    There is no way to view apps by iOS version. And it's highly unlikely you'll find any that will work with iOS 2. I'd suggest you upgrade to iOS 3.1.3. See:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    You'll then at least have a chance of finding apps that you can run, though there are fewer and fewer as developers update to support the newer versions of iOS. Again you'll just have to look app by app. Looking in appshopper.com may make it easier.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to update 1st gen iPad past 5.1.1?

    Is there a way to update 1st gen iPad past 5.1.1?

    Yes but if I just wanted to get on the Internet I could have just bought a cheap tablet I can throw away when nothing works but Internet access. Wont b long and all the apps will b outdated. And it slower going through safari to access my outdated apps and not near as convenient. I was going to get an iPad air but I figure it will b almost useless in two or three years. 

  • I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead

    I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead.  I am unable to get the ipod to move and I don't know what to do.  I think I should be recompenced by Apple if I have to pay to get it fixed!

    The logo is saying connect it to your computer with iTunes installed on the computer.  I assume when yo do this that the iPod is not seen in iTunes. to make iTunes appear try:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Place the iPod in DFU mode:
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    If the iPod appears in iTunes restore the iPOd.  If not I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?

    Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?

    Hi,
    Have you tried to see if you have the newest version of iTunes? Also, it may help if you try the following steps.
    Download iOS from a third-party website (i reccomend http://whited00r.com/) (as this is a full operating system, it is a big download and may take time on a slow internet connection)
    Unzip the file.
    After unzipping, you should now have a .ipsw file.
    Open iTunes
    Connect your device and make sure you take a back-up of it first (if you don't all your data will be erased)
    Now, while pressing the Restore button, hold down the Alt key (for Mac) or the Shift key (for Windows).
    You should now have a window open asking you to choose a file.
    Choose the file you just downloaded from whited00r.com
    Press OK
    It should start replacing your current OS to the new one.
    When this finishes, your device will restart
    Click restore from (whatever your old device was called)
    It will put back all your apps and information
