Why won't some songs play on 1st generation iPod Touch after paying to update to software version 3.1.3 (7E18)?
This weekend I purchased the software update for the 1st generation touch from iTunes to update it to version 3.1.3. Prior to the update, the iPod was still 100% working. The only reason I paid for the upgrade was so I could get the App Store. Since upgrading, approximately 50% of my songs won't play. When the problem occurs, the album art will show up on the screen, but after a few seconds of silence, the "play" button pops up indicating that the song paused or stopped. If I push play again, it looks like it will play for a second or two, but then it does the same thing. Then if I skip to the next song, and its a song the iPod likes, I can hit play and that song will play without a problem. All the songs on my iPod have been downloaded from iTunes or ripped from CD's I purchased, so it's not like I have a bunch of shady, corrupt music files. I'm just frustrated because Apple wants to charge me for support since this is an older product. However, the product was working fine until the other day when I PAID for their software update. If anyone went through a similar issue and has info it would be much appreciated.
Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. What do i need to do?
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 to wipe a 1st Generation iPod Touch keeping the 2.2.1 software
I want to sell my first generation iPod Touch (have an iPhone now).
I want to wipe all personal data from the iPod, but I want to keep the 2.2.1 software update that I purchased from it.
Not sure how to do it.You could restore.
Page 111 of the manual:
"If you restore, the latest version of iPod touch software is reinstalled, default settings
are restored, and data stored on iPod touch is deleted, including downloaded
applications, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other
data. In iTunes, you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on
iPod touch.
Page 96:
"Erase all content and settings: Connect iPod touch to your computer or a power
adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”
This feature resets all settings to their defaults and removes all your information and
media on your iPod touch by overwriting the data stored on iPod touch."

Upgrade 1st Generation iPod Touch 32GB
Can I download ios5 to my 1st gen ipod touch or can i upgrade my software version 3.1.3 to 4.0 or 3.2?
Thanks for your answer, now my problem is I had to reset my ipod and when I reloaded the applications from the computer some of them were bought for my iPod version 3.1.3 and now they can not be loaded for having been updated for use on an iPod version greater than 3.1.3. For example, I purchased Documents To Go Premium - Office Suite, version 3.0 and now I can not load it in my ipod because after several updates to the application, now requires a larger version of my ipod (greater than 3.1.3). What should I do?

Why won't this song play even after I authorized the computer? It says that I need to authorize the computer, then I enter my username and password and it says the computer is already authorized. But then the song still won't play. What do I do?
Use the Apple ID support -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ - click through the contact information and select the iTunes, etc., hot button. You can have Apple call you or email them.

Why won't my songs play on Ipod but will on Computer?
My songs on my computer are playing perfectly fine. I download all the songs to my 4th generation Ipod touch, and they are on the ipod but whenever I select them they do not play, the songs just skip over most of them and then play the songs that will play. My sister has a older verison of an Ipod touch and hers will play the songs. On the computer under my ipod's playlists the songs pop up with the "i" bubble. What can i do to fix this?! I've tried re downloading the songs muiltiple times. It doesn't seem to work.
i got the same problem, happened with "Now its on" and currently with "My Wife, My *****, My Girl", both by Tech N9NE. i ended up just getting now its on from limewire. i think the song for download might be faulty becuase i even deleted the song from my computer and bought it again, but to no avail. as well, i took the song off my ipod and put it on again, which also didn't work. I suggest just finding it on the internet in some other way

Why do the new earphones not work with 1st Generation iPod touch?
Does the 1st generation iPod touch not "recognise" [recognize if you are American] these functions? I am talking about the microphone and the button on the new earphones.
Ray2104 wrote:
Then why don't apple make ear phones with microphone which the 1st gen itouch will recognised...
Because the Touch is primarily a music player, that is what I purchased and I'm quite satisfied with it as it is.
I'm so fed up of the way Apple Market...
What are their plans for their consumers... to
to keep buying new Ipods?!?!?!
Err...Yes! Welcome to the real world.
3G Iphone was released shortly after the Iphone...
why couldnt they make us wait longer...and get the 3G
You still don't understand this commercial world do you?
same with Ipod Touch... yes i Understand new Gen ipods...would have better features...
Let's all wait a hundred years when they bring out the the brain implants...
But hey wats up with making us fall with Apple...we like the designs, the features...but why then bring in new ones that apple know will not let our old ipods adapt to it.
You like the design, you buy it, enjoy what you have and don't get so jealous.
Sick of Apple... they do it on purpose... I guarantee...
No way?!
the new Iphone to realease next year....would be Iphone 8.0 mega pixels camera video recording....either way...they would make their customers regret for buying their old Iphones and Ipods...
If so, then I might buy one, but then I wouldn't moan if a better one was released six months later.
4 now, do something about the new ear head phones....cos apart of app store and applications...we want to be ablt to use microphones...to communicate on social networking...and voice memos...
This maybe because the hardware is simply incompatible, they cannot cover every eventuality, had they done so the Touch would have been more expensive and I would not have bought one.
Technology moves on, fact. I you don't feel Apple are playing fair then just avoid their products, that'll learn 'em.
By the way, if you want Apple to hear your thoughts go here - [Feedback|http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html]
They do not officially monitor this board.

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?
Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?
Ok I had this problem, and for me at least what happened was that not all the album artwork was attached to all songs on the album. So if you right click one of the albums you are having an issue with, the click artwork tab, and go through each song on the album, if it is missing from any of them it will not sync properly to any device. Find the songs that have the artwork, and then right click to copy it, then go to songs without it, and right click in the blank box and paste it in there. Then once finished with any issues you are having sync iPod, this should fix the problem. It worked for me, and it was unbelievably frustrating to know I have the artwork, but it wasn't showing up anywhere on the iPod. Hopefully this fixes the issue for you, like it did for me!

It makes me extremely angry that i have wanted what the new update contains ever since i got my ipod and now I can't have it because whoever made the update didn't make it compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch. Ig someone could give me a good reason as to why this happened that would be much appreciated.

1st Generation iPod Touch (8GB) won't respond.
Hi,
I have a 1st Generation iPod Touch (8GB) and it won't respond to anything. I tried restoring and resetting and charging. When I plug the iPod into my Mac (10.2 Macbook Pro) the iTunes (which is very up-to-date) won't even recgonize it. My computer doesn't even recognize it as a storage unit. I tried all of the USB ports and multiple cables but stil, nothing is happening. I can't even get the screen to turn on and display the apple.
What should I do? Is the battery dead or is my iPod completely dead?
Thanks!Did you try Philly_Phans suggestions as well?
What about all the other suggestions here?

My 1st generation Ipod touch won't turn on at all and whenever I press the buttons to reset it all I get is a white screen, or a white screen with black lines across.Help pleaseeeeee!
You can work through the five 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod touch with 2.1 software?
Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod Touch with 2.1 software?
The second gen iPod Touch has firmware version 2.1.1(5F138) whereas the 1st Gen only allows 2.1 (5F137). Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it's likely.
Why doesn't Apple allow those with the Nike+iPod sports kit to use their external sensor on the 1st Gen iPod Touch?!?! I can't see why the sensor would be incompatible with the right firmware upgrade!!
