WiFi Question, 3g VS my 1st Gen

I have a first generation Iphone and I also have the 3G version and my question is that if I have both phones together in any room in my house I can only pick up the WiFi signal on my 3G phone. The first gen phone rarely even sees the WiFi signal and if it does it can only stay connected for a short time. The 3G sees the signal every time and I can keep the signal connected until I manualy turn off the WiFi. Is there anything I can do or is this normal? Thanks

try resetting network settings: settings-->general-->reset-->reset network settings. (you'll have to re-enter the password for your router).
i woudl then proceed tot he standard troubleshooting steps:
1. power on/off
2. reboot (or reset; holding home and the sleep/wake buttons until the apple logo, ignoring the "slide to turn off".)
3. restore (most likely as a new phone)
if after ALL that, nothing. i would make an appt with the genius bar, cuz its safe to say that its a hardware issue.

Is it possible to replace the internal wifi antenna in a itouch 1st gen with a stronger internal wifi antenna from a slightly newer model, such as a 2nd or 3rd gen itouch?

Is it possible to replace the internal wifi antenna in a itouch 1st gen with a much stronger internal wifi antenna from a slightly newer model, such as a 2nd or 3rd generation itouch?

That is not very likely as the antennae are different physical designs and fit will be an issue.

IPhone 3G displays shorter list of WiFi compared to iPod touch 1st Gen

If you turn on the WiFi on the iPhone 3G and compare it to the iPod touch 1 Gen, you will see a much much shorter list of available networks.
I noticed that with the new iPod touch as well (short list).
And if you compare the new Late 2008 MacBook/Pro's with the previous MacBook/Pro's you will notice the same thing (the newer ones don't pick up as many wireless signals).
Is this a software thing, or a hardware problem?

There is no such message when 1st gen iPod Touch sits on top of iPod Hi-Fi, it simply does not charge without any explanation.
With 2nd gen Touch they changed the insides of the device, thus excluding compatibility, but the 1st gen remains the same — and now it doesn't work properly with Apple's own accessory which was compatible just days ago.
That's a crying shame, really. I hope that Apple is aware of the situation and currently works to fix this problem.

How much to fix wifi on my 16gb 1st gen i pod touch

now my last chance to sort this problem out how much will it cost to fix the wifi on my 16 gb 1st gen i pod touch

If it's confirmed as a hardware failure, Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the problem for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". I'm not sure I'd spend any money to repair a first-generation iPod touch, though. It's too limited in the applications it can run now.

I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
To close apps: Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
To solve internet problem, contact your provider. Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies. Your router may be old and slow.

Try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds. This may correct the problem.

ANY radio app for 1st gen iPod touch?? Even with Wifi!?

Firstly, I know the 1st gen ipod touch does not have a radio receiver..this is not my problem.
I've been looking for an app that I can listen to the radio on..even through wifi...but am not finding any that will work with the 1st gen. For example, I download TuneIn radio which I have on my itunes, blackberry, and tablet...but it is only compatible with newer generations of the ipod touch. I am on version 3.1.3 which I believe is the most up-to-date.
In short, I'm absolutely fine to use wifi to listen to the radio, but simply can't find an app (ideally a free one) that will even let me sync the app from my itunes to the ipod.
Suggestions would be very welcome!

Try my web app. I have over 100 stations of all genres. Just enter the following URL in Safari and tap on the orange music icon on top right. Also, you can add a Home screen app icon for easy future access.

No wifi on my 1st gen ipod touch

Hello
I was walking in a rain and i think my very old ipod touch 1st gen got wet and stopped working, however after few days it's working fine, except for wifi, when i go in to setting I’m unable to access wifi button, it's grey and it say NO Wi-Fi, I did try to reset network setting but it did not help.
Thank you

iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

I recently upgrade to an iPAD Air. I gave my old iPAD (1st gen) to my wife. I restored it to original factory conditions. Now we cannot install iBook on it since it requires iOS 7. What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional.

Look at this similar problem in getting Netflix on an iPad 1. Same technique should work for you.

AppleTV 1st Gen has my entire music library loaded however my iTunes library was lost when my external hard crashed. My question is can I copy the content from the AppleTV 1st Gen back into my iTunes on my iMac?

AppleTV 1st Gen -
I have a rather complex music/movie library system, as well as the ability to listen/watch the content throughout my house thanks to Control4 - extra vegetables and other various 3rd party equipment. I moved my entire music library onto an external hard drive to free up space on my iMac...then my dog got tangled in the cord and pulled the external drive from my desk to the floor destroying the hard drive...(yes I've already attempted to have the content recovered by specialists- no such luck.
My question is... Is it possible to copy the content from the AppleTV 1st Gen back into my iTunes on my iMac? If so step by step directions would be greatly appreciated!
thanks to all
Tom

Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

Ive got a 1st gen apple TV wifi issues help please.

Ive got a 1st gen apple TV, had it about 4 years and I cannot get it work over wifi for the past 2 years. If its wired with network cable it works.If using wifi I either get no movies on appletv or sometimes it syncs and lists all my movies in Itunes but when I try and play any movies it says video format not recignized. Ive disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Apple TV. Navigated to Settings > General > Network. Click Configure Wireless.Selecte my wireless network and entered password then done. see "Connecting to wireless network" screen appears then "Connection Succeeded" I see IP address, Wi-Fi Address, and signal strength is strong all bars. Any ideas as to What the heck is wrong with this AppleTV.

Doesn't sound good if you've restore to factory from the diagnostics menus and are seeing this.
Have you unplugged from the main for a few mins and restarted. Disconnect any ethernet cables if you have them.

1st gen MBP won't connect to WiFi when WPA2-PSK [AES] security is enabled

Hi all,
I've got a pretty vexing problem involving my old MacBook Pro and my WiFi, and I'm hoping to find an explanation or solution to it. Recently, my husband purchased a brand-spanking new (PC) laptop with n wireless capabilities, and I've been trying to reconfigure my home network so that the router is broadcasting in 2.4 gHz b/g/n mode. When I set the router (a Netgear N600 dual band) to broadcast in "up to 300Mbps" mode, it tells me that "WPA-PSK [TKIP] may only operate at "Up to 54Mbps" (legacy G) rate, not N rate. NETGEAR recommends that you use WPA2-PSK [AES] to get full N rate support."
So, naturally I go and set the security to WPA2, and my 1st gen MacBook Pro (it only has a CoreDuo, and hence, a b/g card) promptly proceeds to spazz out. Sometimes it sees the network, sometimes it doesn't. When it does see the network, the connection times out, and I can never successfully establish a connection. Right now, I've got the Wifi broadcasting up to 300Mbps, but the security is set to mixed WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES], so I'm not even sure if my husband is getting Wireless-N functionality on his end of things.
Has anyone else had a problem like this, and is there any solution for it? Should I upgrade my wireless card (Can I even upgrade my wireless card???), is it a software issue, etc. I'm aware that there have been a number of issues with wireless connectivity in Mac laptops over the past few years, and I really hope this isn't one of them.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I believe the issue is the fact that the Netgear router supports wide-channel operation in the 2.4 GHz band. This is how they are able to advertize that you can get up to 300 Mbps. Apple computers/routers only support narrow-channels on this band.
What I would suggest is that if the Netgear has an option to both use narrow-channels and WPA2/AES security, to use this combination. Your Mac should be able to connect and his PC should get at least 120-130 Mbps. Note: Although not broadcasting at 300 Mbps, the Netgear will still be operating in the 802.11n radio mode.

Might be a dumb question, but I am moving from 1st gen to iPadair; on Safari, 1st gen to delete apps/sites just visited, you could double tap home key and apps would appear on bottom and one could delete from there. How does it work on ipadair?

This may be a dumb question, but nonetheless, here goes:
I just moved from 1st gen ipad to new ipad-air. Great and happy! But, one thing I can't figure out how to do is to delete the pages/sites/apps that I have just used? For example, on the 1st gen. you could double-tap home button and past actions would come up on bottom of screen. I could then delete them one by one, to keep things cleaned up. Am I missing something here? Does it keep a log irregardless? Not the same as deleting history - at least didnt' work for me.

Close apps and not delete apps.
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

Stolen iPad (WiFi 1st Gen)

My iPad (1st Gen WiFi) has been stolen. There was no password (how irresponsible of me) and I have no other Apple device to help me try retrieve it via some App. I have no expectation of finding it but please is there a way to erase the stored data remotely and unlink it from my Apple Account? Thanks!
