Itouch 1st generation black plastic insert on back corner

Hello, the little black plastic insert on the back corner has popped out and cannot be found.  I know this somehow covers or aids the wifi connection.  Where can I find a replacement for this, and is it necessary?  I was only able to find one online site that listed the small plastic piece at almost $30...!!
Thanks for the help

It is just a dust cover.  However the real metal antenna appears to be attached to the plastic.  You do need the metal part.  See the forst set of phots in the following:

  • The iOS 3.1 upgrade for Itouch 1st generation

    I just bought the iOs 3.1 upgrade for my itouch 1st generation, though when it started
    downloading, it would stop and say "check that the connection to the network is active and try again"
    How can I fix this?

    Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

  • Know what apps will load on itouch 1st generation and which ones will not

    I have an itouch 1st generation running version 2.2.1. I want to load the program Brushes, which the requirements read: Compatible with iphone and itouch, requires iphone os 2.1 or later. Will this work on my itouch?
    I tried loading a program Inspire, which its requirements were: Compatible with iphone and itouch, requires iphone os 3.0 or later. This did not work, because I didn't have os 3 on itouch. When trying to upgrade, I cannot because I have a 1st generation. Is this correct? I'm assuming I can't load anything that has requirements for iphone or itouch, with iphone os 3.0 or later?!?!
    Thanks

    "I have an itouch 1st generation running version 2.2.1. I want to load the program Brushes, which the requirements read: Compatible with iphone and itouch, requires iphone os 2.1 or later. Will this work on my itouch"
    Yes it will work as your 2.2.1 is "2.1 or later."
    ", I cannot because I have a 1st generation. Is this correct?"
    No, you can indeed upgrade to 3.0 if you wish. The you can get apps that require 3.0 or later.

  • Original itouch (1st generation) needs to update to be able to add new apps

    My daughter has the original itouch. It is the MA623LL with version 2.2.1 (5H11) installed. She said she cannot continue to add apps from itunes. It continually tells her to update. The itunes on our computer is updated to version 9.2.0.61 itunes 9. It tells her to update to iphone 3.0 software update. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this and if this is a software download I need to purchase.

    As others have said, the 1st generation iPod Touch can take OS 3. My 1st Generation device actually has OS 3.1.3 on it. Regretfully, this device is not compatible with iOS 4, so there will be new software updates/releases that I can not install because they require iOS 4, but the device still works...

  • How do I update my itouch 1st generation in 2012?  It's basically new - never been updated.

    How can I update my 1st generation iTouch to iOS 3.1?  Currently running 1.1.5.  I am running iTunes 10 on a PC.

    iOS 3.1 is a "paid for" upgrade. To purchase it, go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052.
    Using the "check for updates" in iTunes will not show it.
    Take into account that although there are still Apps that use iOS 3.1 (or even iOS 3.0), many Apps now require iOS higher than this, but the 1st generation Touch cannot install iOS above 3.1 and will not be able to use any App requiring higher iOS versions. As long as you understand this, don't let me put you off purchasing the upgrade.

    Connect to your computer and restore via iTunes and place the the iPod in recovery mode uisng this program

    http://jaxov.com/2010/05/recboot-iphone-recovery-mode/and then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                          
    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • How do I get my photos off 1st generation itouch? I have macbook pro, ipad, iphone. Itouch syncs but does not have option to share in any capacity ie send via email, etc. Also, the computer from which photos were originally taken from has crashed.

    How do I get my photos off 1st generation itouch? I have macbook pro, ipad, iphone. Itouch syncs but does not have option to share in any capacity ie send via email, etc. Also, the computer from which photos were originally taken from has crashed.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Did you fail to back up your pics?
    The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
    You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.

  • 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.

    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.

  • I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes to a new instance of iTunes on my brand new Mac... How do I "switch" from one instance of iTunes to another? How do I get the 5 Digit Code Network to come back on my Screen?

    I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes on my iBook to a new instance of iTunes on my new Mac... How do I get the 5 digit Network code to come back? Is there anyway for 1st Generation Apple TV to be synched to two instances of iTunes or do I have to choose one or the other? I appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks!

    The 5 digit code is every time different. That does not matter. Just integrate every device into your network.
    You can connect many computers to Apple TV but syncronisation works exactly with one computer. That's why I use "streaming". But you can sync one computer, then another, and so on. The content on your Apple TV is the content from your computer that has synced last. But you can not mix it.
    The new Apple TV has no syncronisation. Everything is streamed,

  • My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

    My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

    If you have tried everything, then by definition, there is nothing else to try.
    Perhaps if you explained what you tried someone can help.
    If you have actually tried everything, then there is nothing anyone can do to help.
