Voltage for charging 1st generation Touch?

I have a 1st generation iPod Touch, 16gb. I have a car charger/transmitter I bought off eBay, which plugs straight into the m-bus plug of my Alpine head unit, and then I had to wire it into power. Lately when I plug my iPod in, it will work fine for a while. Then the screen flickers, it shuts off, and either stays off or reboots. Sometimes it'll be fine after happening once, and sometimes it'll happen over and over. I found out the voltage of the car charger is 12v. Is this too much for the 1st gen? I'm not sure if the 1st gen is supposed to have 12v or 5v. If it's the correct amount, what's happening? Thanks.

Okay, so if I buy the 12v output to 5v output converter, it should stop surging/crashing my iPod? Just making sure before I buy it.
This is the adapter, by the way:

Thanks again!
I can't answer that question as I have no idea what you currently have. Sorry!

  • IOS4 for the 1st generation touch

    I have a first generation ipod touch. Will I be able to upgrade to IOS4? If not, does that mean my touch will not be able to use the app store anymore and upgrade my existing apps?

    iOS 4 doesn't support the first generation iPod touch. The new features are too much for the first Touch to handle. (slow processor) But that doesn't mean you can't buy or update apps, it just means you don't have the latest features. But believe me, you wouldn't want to update anyway. There has been a buttload of problems to buttloads of people updating their ipod touches. 1. Battery life gone down 80 percent. 2. Errors to downloading the update and ipod in recovery mode. 3. Software update not downloading. 4. All the features aren't even available to my 2nd generation ipod touch. 5. Update erasing all apps. 6. Update erasing EVERYTHING. 7. Update slowing down entire ipod. 8. Update erasing data on apps. (like the apps were just downloaded) 9. Update screwing ipod leaving it on a screen where you can't do anything, not even restore.

  • 1st generation Touch.  Apple still stock these for battery replacements?

    I am aware that apple replaces the entire device for poor battery life for a service charge $79.  Does this still apple for a 1st generation Touch?  I have a 16GB Nano, but the battery only last a few hours.
    Does Apple still keep these in stock?

    No way. $59 is too cheap. You need to buy it for more. You can sell your device here:http://www.gazelle.com/
    And you can buy a new one (2nd gen) here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001FA1NZK/ref=dp_olp_refurbished?ie=UTF8 &condition=refurbished

  • 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.

  • 1st generation Touch question

    Will Apple still provide software updates for the 1st Generation iPod Touch?

    There is nothing wrong with the 1st gen ipod. It works as it should. The software works.
    What "support" do you need?
    How long do you think that a product should get updated features?
    This doesn't seem like anything new or unusual at all.

  • How much is a new CD for a 1st generation silver iMac?

    how much is a new CD for a 1st generation silver iMac?

    You're talking about the original install disks? Call Apple and give them your serial number; I believe they have a nominal charge of around $20 including shipping (?). Or, if you Mac came with an earlier OS than Lion, you could also buy the retail Snow Leopard ($29) in case you want to downgrade.

  • Was iOS 5 meant for iPad 1st generation?  Ever since updating it is slower and slower.

    Was iOS 5 meant for iPad 1st generation?  Ever since updating it is slower and slower.

    When I first updated my original,iPad I had a number of issues with it, crashes, some sluggishness, and things like that. When the infest incremental update was released a little while later, it seemed to fix the issues on the iPad - or at least it made a very big difference.
    I never updated it all the way to 5.1.1 - because I bought the new iPad so I have no first hand experience with 5.1.1 on the original iPad.
    You can try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they make a difference.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Sometimes this can help. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If you have issues with Safari - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    You aren't required to do so. You can choose not to use the speaker dock or you can return the Nano.
