Hi,
A bit of a blast from the past, this, but...here goes anyway. A little while ago I purchased an iPod touch 1st gen off of eBay, running iOS 1.1.4. It had previously belonged to some other random person whose identity I never knew, and after a factory reset and an update to 1.1.5 I was good to go. It must have had the January Software Update installed on it at some point in its previous life, since it had all the apps and content which that update enables (Weather, Stocks, Mail, Maps, etc).
Now, randomly at some point while I was using it, it bricked itself - literally. I was using it, the screen broke up into jagged lines, it rebooted, and I got the "Connect to iTunes screen". Some random bug in iOS 1 no doubt, but anywyay, I was left with no choice but to restore it. And naturally, since my own Apple ID does not have the January Software Update associated with it, I was then left with a far less functional (relatively, ahem) iPod touch at the end.
Now, my question is: does anyone know of a way to still purchase that update for an iOS 1.x iPod touch ? I realise I can apprently still pay to get 3.1.3 on here which will naturally solve the problem as it will include all the missing bits, but I'd like to keep this on iOS 1 just...well, just because, really. I've got other devices on iOS 2, 3 and 4, and this is my only one with iOS 1 on it, so I plant to keep it that way if I can.
I've searched and can't seem to see the January Software Update avaialble in either the App Store or iTunes any more, which is hardly surprising. Does anyone have a direct link to the purchase that still works which would let me pay for it and install it via iTunes, or is it really and truly absolutely gone now ?
