Replacing Trackpoint Cap why do the replacements not have the black plastic piece? T420

So I feel like my trackpoint has begun to wear down on my T420 and I went to replace it today with the similar cap from the Trackpoint Cap Collection (73P2698) that I ordered with my machine. When I removed my cap I was suprised to see that there was a piece of black plastic attached to the underside of the cap. None of the caps in the collection have this plastic piece, and I seem to be unable to remove it from the cap. Without the black plastic piece, the caps don't seem to fit correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Solved!

I'll try to take it out with tweezers. It is really wedged into the cap. Does the stick have a part number? If I accidentally break it will I be able to call have one sent to me under warranty?

Are you sure you're connected to a network and that your iphone isn't on airplane mode?

Why is the black iPhone 4/4S more durable than the white?

I've owned both a black and a white 4S
The black was much more durable, mine flew out my hand and hit the tap, no damage just a big scratch to the back glass because thats where it hit, but it did make the back loose
I had a white, and it smashed the back like 2 inches off concrete, I'm serious.. That's how fragile they are...
I Now have A Galaxy S4
Why is the black iPhone more durable than the white? I never understood that...

Not sure what causes it, but here are your choices:
1) bring it to a 3rd party repair shop and see what they say
2) pay $149 for another replacement
3) do nothing
4) buy a new phone (iPhone or otherwise)
Up to you.

Why does front row not have simple organization?

I currently have a hard drive hooked into my macmini which is hooked up to my TV. On my hard drive I have over 1000 movies, all purchased through iTunes. However when I use front row and i goto the movie section, I have to scroll through every movie to get to the one I want. There's no way to scroll by letter, only one by one. This is horrible and takes forever. Can apple do an update that makes the right button on the apple remote for scrolling letter by letter. For example, you click the right button to goto movies starting with B, C, D, E, F, etc. Then the down button for one by one scrolling. Also, why does front row not have genres? AppleTV does. Why not incorporate that into front row? Think, Apple, Think.

You can have sub-folders in the Movies folder and arrange your movies alphabetically that way.
But if you want to alert Apple to your idea, then use this link:

why my 3gs do not have wifi hotspot

If you're talking about the Personal Hotspot feature, you must be using a supported carrier who supports that feature, and you must subscribe to a data plan that includes tethering.

HT4623 Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Your iPad should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google do have app versions in the store

Either you purchased a phone made for sale in a country where FaceTime is prohibited or there are restrictions turned on that hide FaceTime.

Gluing the black plastic

thanks.

Yes. That is serious. Take it to Apple and ask them to check it out for you.

What is the little plastic piece that comes with my iPod?? It looks like some kind of dock, but it is oddly shaped. There is nothing about it in the user guide. What is it?

Hi trancelot,
That white plastic piece that comes with your iPod is the adaptor for the iPod Universal Dock.

Why does the black iPhone 5 not have a front mic?

I noticed that the white iPhone 5 has a front mic while the black does not. How come?

What you're NOT seeing on the black model is the proximity sensor which is to the left of the earpiece/speaker if the phone is viewed from the front. This is visible on the white model but not the black model.
The mic is apparently contained within the earpiece/speaker hole. See the following .pdf file (you need Acrobat Reader installed to view) and zoom in to the front view.
