Click Wheel locked, even with "HOLD" disengaged

HELP I'm going through withdrawls. My iPod Nano 2GB has decided to not recognize the fact that I would like to disengage the HOLD toggle. Any suggestions out there on what I can do, before having to take it to my nearest Apple store?

Hello boop0001,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
If a reset or restore of the device did not resolve the issue, your iPod likely needs servicing as you already know. There really isn't much else you can do.

  • Can an older IPod (click wheel) be used with a wireless/bluetooth speaker? If so, how?

    Can an older IPod (click wheel) be used with a wireless/bluetooth speaker? If so, how?

    There is no doubt you can.
    When you say photos stored on it.. in what form are these photos?? Is this your iphoto library?
    If so using iphoto library on the TC has risks.. not necessarily viewing photos .. that should be fine. But if you have photos you are editing and wireless comms drop out leaving the library with a file open, it is likely to corrupt your library. Please check with the iphoto people on the discussion board if you want to go ahead for the dangers of using iphoto on any network drive.
    The TC is not designed as a NAS .. in particular it cannot back itself up, nor can Time Machine backup the TC. So any files on the TC are at risk. If you manage to corrupt the iphoto library without a current backup... does that worry you??

  • Will the accessories for iPod with click wheel 20G work with the new gen?

    Hi,
    I have a iPod with click wheel 20GB and am considering to get a new one, iPod with video 40GB or 80GB. Can I still use the following iPod accessories for 20GB one?
    - dock
    - USB power adapter
    Thanks.

    I know a iPod comes with a usb cord but I would like to use the USB power adapter I have so I can charge iPod during travel with computer/laptop.
    It seems to me that the connector in USB power adapter is a regular USB type B connector. But, I could not find the information to confirm it is a regular USB type B. Even it is the regular USB type B connector it does not work with the a usb cord shipped with iPod, which is a USB type A connector. That's the reason I would like to know if I can use it with new generation of iPod.
    Or, I can just get a USB connector converter. But, not sure if it can supply the enough power to ...
    B.t.w., the model number of the power adapter is A1070.

  • IPod 4G click wheel wont sync with itunes with firewire and USB

    my iPod 4G click wheel 20GB won't sync with my Macbook Pro OSX Mountain Lion.......
    only way work is .. I keep plug in and out the dock connector from the iPod ... after 30 to 50 times... it probably work!
    Anyone has same problem?!

    Do you have another cable you can try to rule out the possibility that the cable is damaged or faulty?
    You might also want to double check the iPod's dock connector for signs of bent, damaged, or corroded pins or even debris that could blocking a full connection with the cable.

  • IPod Click Wheel games compatible with ipod nano 5th Generation

    I've found the iPod Click Wheel Games by clicking the triangle that appears next to the "App Store" tab and clicking the third option, "iPod Click Wheel Games." But when I look at the details of any of the games it says they are compatible with:
    "This game is compatible with iPod nano (3rd and 4th generation), iPod classic, and iPod (5th generation) only. It cannot be played on your computer, nor is it compatible with other iPod models or iPhone."
    Does this mean that I cannot use them on my iPod nano 5th generation? or is the iPod nano being referred to as "iPod (5th generation)"
    I guess it just seems silly that a game is only compatible with older versions or that the newest iPod nano can NOT operate older games.
    Can anyone explain this? or has anyone tried to download one of these iPod Click Wheel Games and found that it actually Does work for an iPod nano 5th generation?

    Can anyone explain this?
    I can't but Apple should be able too - U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)

  • Click wheel stuck (not on hold)

    my click wheel is stuck. i tried resetting and restoring and all that. all my other buttons work. this is really wierd. please help me!!! do i need to get my iPod serviced? i hope not, cause that costs a fortune...
    thanks!!

    Mine does that too! It's so annoying and makes me want to break things. So far, the only quick fix that I've found it to keep it out of heat and cold. In the wintertime, I typically carry it in my pocket and that seems to work, but now in the summer I'm having more difficulty. Sometimes sticking it in front of the A/C seems to work, but that's only temporary. If anyone can find a better solution, I'd love to hear it.

  • HT1363 i have an ipod classic 120gb. it has a white screen although i can hear the sound of the click wheel and even songs would play.but once dicharged ,my computer cannot recognize it please help

    I bought an ipod classic 120gb in 2008. once by mistake it went in along with laundry in washing machine. I kept it under the sun to let it dry and tried to start it but it wouldn't.I kept it for charging and it started normally.after around 1 month when it got fully discharged i again kept it for chargin but it showed white screen.Although i could hear the sound of clickwheel and songs too but the screen remained white..Some suggested to replace the screen. Please help

    It's likely that the moisture fried some of the internal components of the device. You'll need to take or send your iPod in for service/repair.  Apple will do an out of warranty exchange versus actually repairing the device as a third party service would do.
    Here is pricing for iPod repairs from Apple.

  • Click wheel frozen while docked

    All of a sudden, after 7 mos of no problems, my 3rd gen nano click wheel will no longer work while docked to my dock at home or in the car. I have been using it with both for at least 4 months and have never had this problem. I have tried both types of resets, have downloaded the most recent software, have made sure the lock switch is not engaged, and its still having the problem. After resetting it, the click wheel works fine with the earbuds (always has), but as soon as I plug it into either dock, no longer. It will still play, but can't use the click wheel. Anyone have this problem? Any solutions?? Please help!!

    The screen freezes on whatever is playing (a podcast, song, etc..). It freezes at the point the song or podcast is at when I put it in the dock. Even if the podcast or song finishes, the screen is still completetly stuck at the point it was when I put the ipod in the dock.

  • Click wheel on a new ipod

    just set up a new ipod, click wheel seems faulty. tried holding my finger on the wheel for a few seconds as suggested on this site, but it still does not really want to work. basicly, it will not scroll. menu and play/pause work fine. should i be getting my $$$ back?

    Holding your finger on the wheel for a few seconds? You're supposed to move your finger around in a circular motion along the wheel to move the cursor on the screen.

  • "Strange" click wheel behavior

    Hi,
    I recently bought myself a 60Gb Video iPod (my first iPod) and I've noticed that sometimes the first press of a button (play/pause, menu etc) is ignored, if I press it again (or a different button) it works fine. This happens both when the iPod is playing music and I've not pressed anything for a while and when I press a button to wake up the iPod.
    It is almost like the click wheel buttons go to sleep and the first press wakes it all up.
    I've tried resetting it and the hold button is definately off, I've tried recalibrating the click wheel by sliding the hold button on then off and it still does it. It is using the 1.0 software but I am reluctant to update to 1.1 as I've read about some of the problems being reported.
    Is this actually "normal" operation or is something wrong ?
    Many Thanks
    Barney

    I noticed that sometimes there is a "lag" after pushing the wheel too many times in a row too fast. I think this is normal. But my clickwheel has stopped clicking by itself a few times also. Oh well...

  • HT201406 i can't turn on my ipad at all, not even with the sleep keep, how can i start it again

    I can't turn on my IPAD, not even with holding the sleep bottom, how can i star my IPad again

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I pod with click wheel no longer connecting to PC and locked

    I have had an ipod with a click wheel for sometime and it has been working fine. REcently everytime I try to switch it on I get a folder displayed in the ipod window showing an exclamation mark telling me to go to apple.com/support. When I try to connected my ipod to itunes it doesn't show on the programme and it locks the whole system. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes but this has not made any difference. Can someone please help as I don't know what else to try and the apple.com/support has not got any information to help me. The battery is fully charged.

    I'm not here to help you, on the contrary, I'm having the same (or at least, a similer) problem.
    My iPod (4TH Gen) used to work fine. One day iTunes tells me something like: iTunes has detected a iPod in recovery mode... having backed up my music before, I now pressed the recover button. It then told me to connect the iPod to the wall outlet charger. I did so. But after connecting it to my PC again, it started all over, telling me to recover... I repeated the process, and again it didn't work.
    Somehow after a good few times it gave in, and started working. But only two days passed, and there you go once again. I'm caught in the trap of this never ending cycle, and I see no way out.
    Go figure.

  • TS1425 Click wheel is totally unresponsive even after restarting & flipping the hold switch on & off

    Click wheel totally responsive no matter what I try...any suggestions?

    You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.
    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 clickwheel, 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 damage part for a little less.  Google "iPod repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • Click wheel not working + crashes after lock switch (nano 2 gen)

    Hi,
    I have an ipod nano 2nd generation for a couple years, and recently it completely stopped working. While it does communicate with itunes no probs, the click wheel doesnt work, and switching lock on/off causes the ipod to reboot. Restoring doesnt help. Any ideas?
    As its a pretty old player, the warranty has probably expired, so getting apple to repair it isnt really worth it is it.

    How can you reset it if the click wheel isn't
    working?
    I was able to get it to reset once or twice, but by the time I got the info about REstore, no-clicky
    Anyway put your iPod into iPod diagnostics and see if
    the clickwheel is working. First, reset the iPod, and
    when you see the apple logo, start to hold the select
    and rewind buttons.
    The only time now I see the Apple Logo is after a restore. The clickwheel doesn't do anything now... not even light up the display when I touch it...
    Any other ideas for me to try?
