Upgrading from 1st gen iTouch to 4th
I'm getting a new iPod touch soon after my 1st gen has served me well for three years. But I'm worried about how and if I can get all my information from my old iTouch to my new one. Will I simply lose all the data I've added to the calendar, address book and a great deal of other information specific to other apps? Or can I back it all up and transfer it to my new iTouch?
Best regards.
If you first connect your new iPod to the same computer you uses with the old computer you should be informed that there is a backup of an iPod already on the computer and would you like to restore your new iPod with the backup of the old iPod? Just say yes and your new iPod will be like your old one with respect to content. When I bought my new iPod I restored it with the backup of my iPad and everthing applicable transfered. As expected, iPad-only apps did not transfer.

Ipod touch now frozen after trying to upgrade from 1st gen to 3.1.1
I've got a 1st gen ipod touch and bought the upgrade software from i-tunes to upgrade it to 3.1.1 so I can add apps to my ipod touch. It started off well but then just froze!! My ipod touch has the apple logo and a progress bar which is partly completed. I left it for ages and nothing progress and when I checked Itunes it said it was no longer responding. I shut itunes down and tried to restart it but it just keeps saying its not responding. Any idea on what I can do to get my Ipod touch back to 1st gen or to complete the upgrade to 3.1.1?
- Try resetting the iPod;
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect to computer and try to restore via iTunes- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If you can't turn the iPod off (e.g., logo, spinning wheel) always shows, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again. -
Upgraded from 1st gen to 3G iPhone
i went to the apple store and bought a 3G iPhone last week. it took the place of my 1st generation iPhone. it works just swell.
but my first generation iPhone still connects to my iTunes and i can add movies i've rented from the iTMS. i can do everything with the old iPhone except make calls (no service). but it does connect to the home wireless network and it continues to get email and stuff like that. i don't believe it should still be synching with my iTunes account since i've replaced it. but never-the-less it's sort of like having an extra iTouch for my kids to play with and they can watch movies on it and not borrow my 3G. but i digress.
my 3G syncs with the same account and it receives phone calls and all of that just fine. but every time i plug it into my computer it acts as though i don't have MobileMe set up. i click on the Info tab of my iPhone in iTunes and it has a button to set up MobileMe. i don't understand why. my MobileMe is turned on . . . and i get new email pushed to my new 3G iPhone. it's clearly working and clearly connected to my account. yet, every time i plug it in it wants me to set it all up again. i've set it up twice and i just checked all settings and everything is just as the directions indicate, yet i can't get the "Set Up Now" button to go away -- and the button just takes me to Apple's website to a tutorial anyway.
does this have something to do with my old iPhone still working? was the Apple Store supposed to take my SIM card from my old iPhone and put it into my new one? they didn't, fwiw.okay, this was too difficult for the masses visiting here. it was too difficult for me to figure out as well.
Plan B -- if i want to start over, do i reinstall iTunes? do i reset my iPhone? do i switch the SIM card from the old iPhone to the new 3G? my 3G currently just gets stuck syncing contacts. if i turn contacts syncing off then it'll get stuck syncing calendars. if that get unchecked then it'll get stuck syncing mail stuff . . .and then bookmarks, etc. if i turn off contacts, calendars, mail, and bookmarks then the sync happens just fine with music and ringtones and other stuff. -
I recently upgraded my verizon cell phone to an iPhone 4S, and had been using a first gen iPod Touch, which is still quite functional and I'd lik eto give it to someone else in the family to use. The problem is that after the first time I connected the 4S, now iTunes will hang (spinning beachball) everytime I try to connect the old Touch. Auto sync is turned off. I've even tried to create a separate account to no avail. As soon as I disconnect the touch, iTunes resumes normally.

1st Gen iTouch not recognized by iTunes on Laptop
I have a 1st Gen iTouch that I cannot seem to get iTunes to recognize.
About a week ago I re-named it in iTunes, cleaned it up, and performed a sync.
Used it until the battery was low, and re-charged using my wall charger. Now, when I connect to the laptop, is is not recognized at all...
I have tried the following to no avail:
Re-install iTunes
Stop/Start the Apple Mobile Device
Try a different USB cable
Re-boot the laptop with USB devices not plugged in
Force the iTouch into recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
Try to connect using a different laptop
It still charges when connected to my wall charger. I have a 2nd gen iTouch that connects just fine (charges & connects to iTunes). I don't what the problem could be?! This iTouch is 1.5 years old and work great apart from this issue. Can anyone help?

Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

I upgraded my 3rd gen iTouch to iOS 5.1.1 and now its speed to repond is slower and the battery goes flat quicker than before the upgrade. Skype, Sky iCloud and other apps are turned off (I think). Has anybody else suffered with this? Any ideas?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -
This may be a dumb question, but nonetheless, here goes:
I just moved from 1st gen ipad to new ipad-air. Great and happy! But, one thing I can't figure out how to do is to delete the pages/sites/apps that I have just used? For example, on the 1st gen. you could double-tap home button and past actions would come up on bottom of screen. I could then delete them one by one, to keep things cleaned up. Am I missing something here? Does it keep a log irregardless? Not the same as deleting history - at least didnt' work for me.Close apps and not delete apps.
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen -
Music Gone from 1st Gen Apple TV after iTunes upgrade to 10.1.1 (4)
I use a 1st Gen Apple TV to store and play all my music throughout my home. It's perfect for that because I don't have to stream from my computer (as with 2nd Gen Apple TV) and can control the music from all over the house from the Remote App on my iPad and iPhone. After I upgraded to iTunes 10.1.1 this week I synced my Apple TV with my computer to add some new music to it from iTunes. All of my music promptly disappeared from my Apple TV. It may have still been there, but didn't show in iTunes on my computer or on my iPad or iPhone remote apps.
My first thought was that I might have to do a restore on the Apple TV and then re-sync with my computer's iTunes. Before doing that, however, I simply re-synced all of my music to the Apple TV from my computer. It worked and now all of the music is available again.had the same problem once
went to the appletv's settings and unlinked it with the computer
let it do it's restart and clear synced data
set it up to link with the same computer once more
and let it sync the data once more
haven't have issues since
but described the solution to many in this forum who had the same issue -
Should I upgrade iPad (1st Gen) from iOS 4.2.1 to iOs 5.1.1?
I am using iPad (Wi-Fi only) from last 2 years mainly for web surfing and emails. iOS 5 is sure slick and tempting. Should I upgrade or not? I dont want iPad to get sluggish after update, in that way I am better off with iOS 4.2.1 running smoothly on it. Help pls.!
I dunno sabatoge.
It seems like it would be nice to have ipade 1st gen to get 6.0
But it would certainly help safari from crashing. Still.
I wouldn't,t say that 5.1.1 is the LAST UPGRADE. Apple might still do something. -
Calendar app to sync from input to 1st Gen iTouch to iPad/MB/MBP?
I would like to able to input my work schedule onto my ipod touch 1st gen, iOS 3.1.3 and then have it auto sync to my iPad 2, and my wife's and mine MB and MBP (OS 10.6).
I assume Google's calendar might have to be involved which is fine.
Know of a good calendar app that would have to support the older iOS for my 1st gen iPod Touch and do the aforementioned auto syncing?Know of a good calendar app that would have to support the older iOS for my 1st gen iPod Touch and do the aforementioned auto syncing
Just use the included Calendar app on the touch

So 1st gen ipad users are basiclly left out in the cold unless they go out an buy a new IPad - of course DTV and The Blaze are blaming Apple and Apple is blaming them - what is the deal Apple - I pay for my subscription to The Blaze in order to have it on my IPad and now I can't even use it - same with DTV - so is Apple now forcing people to buy upgraded devices thru their apps that will no longer support the older generations - what a joke this is and bad business.
Unfortunately software always moves faster than hardware.
Apple's not going to change things. You can try talking to those two app developers and have them make their older versions available.

I have a Mac Pro 1.1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz with 11GB of RAM. Graphics card is ATY,RadeonX1900.
I mainly use it for video/photo work, FCP, After Effects, Photoshop. It's starting to run quite slow. In Final Cut Pro I have trouble playing anything back smoothly within the timeline. I am assuming this is because as video technology improves (HD, higher bit rates etc) by Mac Pro has not kept up.
What is the best way to upgrade my Mac Pro so that it runs more smoothly and does not cost as much as buying a new machine? Should I get the processor changed? Is that possible? If so, which one? Or would changing the graphics card do the job?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks.Hi fferrari,
I find it sad that The hatter is right that so many view without any suggestions. I have a similar issue that I'm dealing with and my budget does not alow me to purchase a new MacPro. I'm also looking for a new graphics card to edit High Def video on my 1st Gen MacPro 2006. I tried the ATI 5770 but somehow forgot to notice that it requires Snow Leopard 10.6.x to work properly. I need something that works with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard due to software issues and also with Windows XP SP2 via Bootcamp witch is on the Tiger HDD.
I'm so confused as to what to purchase since it's all so very technical for me but I may need to find an Nvidia 8800GT because I want two DVI port on the same card that would work on Tiger (10.4.x) and at least 512 MB on the card.
Anyway, good luck at making a decision at your end.

Lanyard from 1st gen works great
Well great news for me, the lanyard I bought for the 1st gen nano I had now fits the 3rd gen perfectly (after not fitting the 2nd gen).
How strange that Apple should lock out the more recent lanyard only to make the old one work again.
I wonder if they are going to start selling the 1st gen lanyard again?

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). -
My iCoud storage space is being used up by old data from a 1st generation iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. The people at the sprint store where I made my trade were supposed to transfer everything over from my old iPad to the new Mini once they backed up the old device to iCloud. Well, long story short, none of the data ever got transferred to the new iPad, but it all got backed to iCloud, eating up all my storage space. Here I am almost 2 years later, and I've never been able to back-up my iPad mini. What's worse, My iPhone 4 wasn't backed up that whole time, and now I can't back-up my data from my new iPhone 6 Plus to iCloud either. Trying to find creative ways to store and save my information and data between all my devices is getting to be ridiculous. I don't want to upgrade my storage space though...just want to clear out a great deal of what is already being stored. How can I access this old data to clear it out?
The only way to access data from an iCloud backup is to restore it to your device. You could, for example, back up your iPad mini to your computer using iTunes (by connecting it, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up and choosing to back up apps and transfer purchases when prompted), then erase it and restore the old iPad backup (as explained here: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud), save any recovered data you want to keep, then restore your iTunes backup back to your iPad mini (by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup).
Once you're done with the old backup, delete it from your account to free up the space.
