I-POD Nano clickwheel doesn't work

When I bought my ipod it was fine, a few months later the clickwheel stopped working. I got it replaced, a few months after that the replacements clickwheel stopped. Got that replaced and one or two weeks later this one has stopped. I don't want to return this and get a new 4th Gen. Any suggestions?

Question: Have you been using your nano in a docking station or a stereo with a docking port? Just curious.

  • My creative zen nano plus doesn't work anym

    Hi I've a problem with my mp3 player. It just doesn't work. After I made a powerpoint file on it (normaly that did not cast problems) it went on and in the same time it wents off. Like the battery is not loaded. I wanted to make an update with a file from the creative page, but in the same time it did not do anything. I can not turn it on. It does nothing.
    Can somebody help me? Had anyone the same experience?
    My problem is too, that its nearly two years old and the seller told me that i have no guaranty on it. Is this right? Can i just turn it into the carbage can?
    Please help me

    i cant find where this other guy who said like the same thing
    They must have been talking about a different player such as the Zen Micro which does recharge via the USB port.

  • I-Pod click wheel doesn't work

    Hi everyone,
    I have a 20GB I-Pod and the click wheel hasn't been working since Friday. I think it's a mechanical problem because it doesn't respond to touch or the 5 R's.
    The hold button works and it shows up in I-Tunes. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • The new nano software doesn't works well

    I have installed the last version of the software of the Ipod nano and I cannot ignite the light of the screen when I push menu (during 3 sec). Obviously it is a bug of the new software because before the update worked well.

    I know HOLY took me days to figure out how to fix it... if you have a mac i dont know how to fix but if you have Windows click on all programs on the start menu then look up ipod then click on the update b4 the one that you installed and it should give you and option to restore ... as it will i will come back as factory bought it will have no songs on it so you have to re add your song which wont take long

  • Nano wheel doesn't work

    My nano's wheel has quit working. I can use it to reset, but it won't move thru menus or activate a file to play. I have restored it, reset it... all of the "r's". No luck.
    The battery is fully charged; my computer recognizes my nano and will transfer files to it. There are no weird icons showing on the screen.
    In all regards other than actually working, it's working. It is not stuck on hold that I can tell, and I have turned hold on and off a million times thinking that might help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi, Tulajane,
    My 20GB IPod is doing the same thing. First the click wheel started acting really weird. It would scroll up when I would be turning it clockwise, it would freeze for a bit and then start working again, things like that. Now the click wheel has just stopped working altogether.
    I´m in total panic. Is there any solution to this??

  • My 5th gen Nano wheel doesn't work.

    It won't advance my songs or get the menu. Sometimes I have to push REALLY hard on it and it will work, but its getting worse, what can I do?

    If none of the 5 R's are able to resolve the issue, it's likely a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service.

  • Ipod nano 6th g stopped working

    Ipod nano 6g doesn't work with ear phones.  Has to be plugged in, but doesn't need a charge.  Worked fine yesterday evening with earphones and works if it is plugged in to electrical outlet, but not otherwise.  Any thoughts?

    If the iPod functions normally while plugged into an external power source of some sort (either USB port on your PC or Mac OR while plugged into a wall adapter), but doesn't when running on battery power, it's likely that the iPod's battery is shot.
    You can have Apple or a third party repair center replace the battery for a flat fee. Otherwise, it's time to start saving for a new iPod or replacement.  If the iPod is under 1 year old, it may still be covered under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects. In that case, make an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and they should be able to swap it ou for you at no cost.
    Otherwise, you can opt to pay for a battery replacement.  Here is pricing.

  • Frozen on "now playing" and clickwheel won't work

    First I was having trouble turning off my ipod mini--when I pressed the clickwheel, it kept alternating between play and pause, but wouldn't turn off. After a long while of this, I was getting frustrated and pressed on the clickwheel with both thumbs, and the screen froze on the song screen, saying "now playing", but not actually playing or doing anything at all. The clickwheel doesn't work at all now, so I can't even turn it off. I tried out all the suggestions on the apple website, without any success. When I connect the ipod to my computer with the usb wire, the computer doesn't even acknowledge the existence of the ipod. It seems like the problem might be mechanical rather than electronic, but I don't have any idea to take this thing apart, let alone fix it.

    The solution was embarrassingly simple: I whitelisted YouTube in Flashblock.
    Which doesn't solve all the mysteries - why didn't YouTube work when I started Firefox in safe mode? Why did I never have to whitelist YT before? - but, mission accomplished.
    I'm glad this is here for the next person to find, in case it's helpful.

  • My i pod nano click wheel doesn't work. how do i fix it?

    my i pod nano click wheel has stopped working. My i pod still works when in my docking station but the wheel doesn't. Anyone got any ideas what I can do? I've tried to restore settings but that hasn't worked.

    That is a hardware issue.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  If you want to DIY - iPod Repair Tutorials

  • I-pod nano click wheel does not work help!

    Hi,
    My i-pod nano 1st gen click wheel will not work i have tried restoring,restarting and all the 5 r's but still nothing has happened... there has to be a solution out there somewhere o yea i have also tried taking out the gunk in the click wheel but nothing HELP!

    Version in the nano is 1.1; iTunes is 6.0.4.2.
    This silly thing "healed itself" the next morning (?!), worked fine for two days, and decided to show the same symptoms this evening, then began working fine again.
    Whether it is working or not I can feel the click of the wheel but unit shows no response when the problem is manifesting. So if I am having the problem I can press the wheel any which way for as long as I like and nothing happens -- screen does not light up, unit doesn't scroll, play/pause gives no response, etc.
