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.

  • Can one tell me if the games for iPod with Click Wheel with the 6G iPod compatible?

    Can one tell me if the games for iPod with Click Wheel with the 6G iPod compatible?

         No, the clickwheel games are for certain clickwheel only generations. There are no games for the nano 6 (yet)!

  • My ipod nano click wheel will not work - Ipod works when docked on mobile speakers from remote control

    My ipos Nano click wheel will not work, however when it is docked on mobile speakers it will work from the remote control.

    If it continues to malfunction after a restore, it's probably bad hardware.
    I'd recommend making a Genius Bar appointment. They'll probably give you a couple options: Replace it with an identical model for a discounted price, or trade it in for recycling and get 10% off a new iPod.

  • Click wheel and buttons on ipod dont respond

    After not using my Ipod for a few months i recently got it out and put new music on it only to find out that click/wheel and buttons dont respond. The button lock works but that is all. The ipod sits at the language select screen until the screen fades.

    Yeah i have the exact same problem! i dont know what to do! My closest apple shop is birmingham and from what the other guy said it made no sense. if you have it sorted please let me know on what to do.
    thanks george

  • Upgrading iPod Click Wheel (4th Gen) Version --- iPod Video Question

    I have a two year old iPod that has no colour and a click wheel. For Christmas, i'm thinking about upgrading to an iPod video. I have over 500 songs and videos on iTunes, although i cannot play videos on my current iPod, and i was wondering..
    If i get a new iPod video, is there any way to keep all of my old songs currently on my library and put them on my iPod video?

    yes.. just plug in the new ipod to your computer and it will sync whats on your library to your new ipod.

  • 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)

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem or a botched repair job. Take it back to where you got it fixed.

  • Click Wheel Problem on 4G Ipod

    Hi,
    Recently my 4G Ipod scroll wheel has stopped responding to touch scroll-buttons work fine. Reviewed posts to see this is a common problem. I have had some success but need more advice.
    This is what I did
    1. Reset, Restore etc- did not make wheel scroll
    2. Opened up Ipod, lifted up battery and cleaned areas on back of click wheel including tape like connector. Also used compressed air. In general not dirty at all.
    --At this point my click wheel now responds to touch but after drilling down on a choice and then back up to main menu it stops responding.
    --However if i toggle hold switch it "fixes" it for a short while--previously this did nothing to fix it so a bit better.
    3. I do not have the proper screwdrive to remove circuit board so don't want to do that just yet. BTW where do i get one?
    4. Put Ipod into diagnostic and ran WHEEL test. The numbers move from 0 to 95 suggesting that the click wheel is not broken however this works intermittently also. But if i toggle hold in diagnostic mode then the click wheel works for a short while.
    Should I bother trying to further breakdown the ipod to clean the wheel etc?
    Any other contact points I should clean?
    Why does the toggle switch fix it for a short time?
    Would changing out the click wheel fix the problem?
    Please help!

    If this isn't a hardware issue, I would recommend toggling the hold switch back and forth then trying the reset again. If that doesn't resolve it, I would try restoring the iPod to make sure it's not software.
    If none of that resolves it, though, it will likely be an issue with the hardware and you'd want to set it up for service if you're still in warranty (but from what I know, this model is probably out of warranty).

  • My new ipod touch is recognized under devices but wont sync anything or show any of the ipod info when i click on it, my new ipod touch is recognized under devices but wont sync anything or show any of the ipod info when i click on it

    My new ipod touch is recognized under devices when i plug it into my computer but when i click on it, all that shows up is the word ipod in the middle of the screen. it wont let me sync anything on it either.

    It sounds like you need to set it up, and that makes sense because you said that its a new iPod. Just go through the steps of setting up a new iPod and you should be good.

  • Ipod Classic click wheel issue

    The click wheel on my new Ipod classic (160 gig) is unresponsive at times. Initially I thought it was due to the Claro skin, but the problem seems to be present even after I take off the skin. I seem to have read that there may be a firmware update available to address this issue, but I can't seem to locate it on the Apple site. Can anyone confirm that the problem can be addressed by the update and, if so, where the site is for the firmware update? Thanks.

    As far as I can tell there have been no updates to make the classic click wheel more sensitive. NONE of my older 5.5 skins are acceptable though the iSkin evo3 for 5.5G is the best of the sorry lot. I bought a 3-pack (white, black, blue) of the new thin iSkin for the 6G. I find these acceptable but there is no screen cover. It isn't perfect but acceptable to me.
    iSkin has just introduced a new evo for 6G. Haven't tried it.
    Just as a side note, I find the iSkin for the 6G a bit unresponsive after taking a shower. To me, it would seem that a little skin oil helps responsiveness. Go figure.

  • Click Wheel Very Sensitive

    The click wheel on my new iPod Nano 3rd Gen seems very sensitive. When I think it's set on a menu selection I lift my thumb (carefully) and it moves up or down. Is there a way to adjust the click wheel so it has a heavier action?

    You know I have this problem too... I do have a silicone skin over it which I thought was most of the problem.. But I went looking in settings and thought let's turn on the clicker (Settings/Clicker). I think it actually helps - it might be that the act of clicking slows it down ever so slightly.
    It's weird I picked it up and it seemed to do it... then I turned the Clicker on speaker played with it and then turned it off and I swear it works better. If you don't mind the clicker maybe leaving it on makes sense

  • Why Is The New Click Wheel TERRIBLE?

    What happened to the flawless design of the click wheel on all previous ipod models.
    The new click wheel on the iPod classic is absolutely terrible. It is unresponsive, highly unsensitive, slow and works maybe half the time especially when scrolling counterclockwise.
    APPLE, Why the sudden change? I can't even control it through my jeans anymore.
    Before you ask any questions, no I am not using any case, my iPod is naked and brand new. Any other iPod I have owned was super responsive and had perfect click wheel sensitivity and worked through my jeans or any case it was in.
    I am very unhappy with the new click wheel. Who else is with me?

    Well, if it is a defect, which I think it is, it is very common. I'm on my third 120 GB classic. First one had a buku of issues with skipping songs, shutting itself off etc., but the click-wheel was flawless.
    Sent that one back to apple, received replacement which had same skipping and restart issues with the added joy of the click-wheel laziness you are describing. Sent that one back, got third unit yesterday, also installed new version of software. Skipping issues and restarts seem to have gone away, but having problems with this click wheel. I'm giving it a couple weeks,and I'll send this one back too. When listening to music, it's not that big of a deal when the wheel goes to sleep and I've got to click it back into action, but while trying to play games it becomes very problematic and unacceptable.
    I bought my first ipod second hand and loved it. This is my first new iPod, and it's killing me with aggravation. I have heard before that you should wait until 90 days after any apple release so they can work the bugs out. Seems to hold very true with this experience.

  • App Store Filtering? Can I see list of Apps for Click Wheel Interface iPods

    It's very convenient that Apple has made it easier to find Click-Wheel Games for the iPod Nano and other models sporting the click-wheel interface.
    Does anyone know some way to filter Apps so one can determine what other (non-game) apps are compatible with the Click-Wheel interface? I would think one would also want to be able to filter on iPhone, iTouch, or iPad.
    Basically, a compatibility filter.
    Thanks.

    Does anyone know some way to filter Apps so one can determine what other (non-game) apps are compatible with the Click-Wheel interface?
    There's only about 18 games compatible with the click wheel iPods so there;s really nothing to filter.
    If it works on an iPhone/iPad/touch, it will not work on the click wheel iPods and vice-versa.

  • Why you delete the ipod click wheel games?

    I was ready to buy some click wheel games for my ipod classic and now I can't find any of them, if you still sell the ipod classic I dont see why you have to delete them >:(

    All of us here are only end users like yourself, so we wouldn't know why Apple decided to pull the Clickwheel games section from the iTunes Store.  One thing we can probably know for sure though is that it will not be returning.  Sorry.
