IPod scroll wheel problems

Ok I have tried everything that I have read up on. SO far I have learned that my IPod that was bought used, is Mac formatted and I run PCs in my house. When I connect my IPod to my computer it shows the Apple symbol and does its thing but it does not download anything. If it comes down to it all I need is this install disc is there any way of getting a hold of this.
Thanks
Aaron

Thank you once again for your help, I have now tried it on a Mac and a PC and still I get nothing. When it connects it acts like it is doing something then it says now disconnect. The only one that shows a sign of working is USB. But I tried everything so far. IS there anything else I should try to make this work before I give up.

  • Scroll wheel problem

    A friend and I both have this problem. The scroll wheel on the mouse does not work in new iTunes 7. It works in other apps. It does not even work up in the volume bar. Both Win XP users.

    This is probably your issue - all us secondary monitor iTunes users are rallying together on this!

  • 10.4.9 Scroll Wheel Problem - using Safari with a mouse with scroll wheel.

    Since installing 10.4.9 I have noticed that when on web sites with Safari, when using the scroll wheel on my Logitech MX1000 Laser cordless mouse (Jan 2005) with Logitech control Center 2.1.3 (latest), suddenly you can no longer scroll using the wheel, in fact the mouse becomes "Dead" (the trackpad, too), so you cannot use the scroll arrows either. You have to quit Safari and restart Safari. Unfortunately this has happened 1-2 times/day and only since installing 10.4.9....... MacBook (May 2006, first ones) 2 gHz RAM.
    Any form you are filling-out -- not possible to send, since you cannot click the send button...
    Has anyone seen this problem or similar mousing problems running 10.4.9?
    Thanks.
    Steve Schulte 19 March 2007

    NOTE: I have just learned that the Logitech Control Center 2.1.3 is NOT compatible with Mac OS 10.4.9 but that Logitech is working on 2.1.4-- so if others are having a similar problem, then it is not your Mac!
    Hopefully this will be out shortly--- and if anyone hears anything, kindly post.

  • Logitech Elite scroll wheel problem

    I have a Logitech Elite Y-BF38 keyboard.  The scroll wheel on this keyboard doesn't work with Windows 7, and since they no longer make this keyboard, there are no drivers available for Win 7 from Logitech.  I use the scroll wheel constantly and
    need a way to make it work.  Is there a driver or a work-around that I can use?

    Have you tried installing an older driver in compatibility mode??
    To Run in compatibility mode do the following:
    Right click the installer>properties>compatibility>choose OS

  • Possible temporary fix for mouse scroll wheel problem in Lion

         This is a potential temporary fix for those users of Lion who are unable to fix the reversed mouse scroll wheel issue. I myself have a Microsoft Arc Mouse (not the touch version but the original version) and when I went into the mouse system preferences there was no checkmark box option to return the scroll wheel to its original configuration. When I called Apple about it I was told it's an issue with Lion not recognizing the mouse as being able to reverse the scroll wheel and that Microsoft will need to update the firmware to allow for this change. On a whim, I tried out my wife's Logitech mouse (can't remember the model but it's a fairly recent one) and checked the system preferences. This time there was the checkmark box to allow the scroll wheel to be returned to its original configuration and I could use the scroll wheel as normal. When I plugged my Arc Mouse back in, the scroll wheel had reverted to its original configuration of rotate the wheel down for down scroll and up for up scroll.
         So, for those of you who are unable to correct your scroll wheel through preferences, you might want to try plugging in another mouse, making the correction in system preferences, and then plug your original mouse back in.

    I mean it. Apple makes major changes in the way things have worked for years, then makes that change the default, causing 1m people to struggle. Bad Bad App le.
    There other changes like this in Lion as well, which are arbitrary and are "App le" policy now, which even App le themselves do not follow! (e.g. Cmd-Delete for "Don't Save" in a few App le applications, where 900 million people have used Cmd-<first letter of button> already, for years)
    And yes, I did have to go next door and borrow a mouse. "Why?" they said... "I have a Mac" I said. "<laughter> get a real computer" they said. App le does itself no favors by pulling this stuff.
    Many of us cannot buy new equipment when arbitrary changes are made, and "get a new driver" is a slap in the face, especially when such changes as Reversing scroll for many-millions could easily be done by making the "new way" an Option, not a default.
    Don't get me wrong, Mac and iPhone etc are way ahead of MS and all, but the rabid arrogance inside App le is App aulling.

  • IPod Click Wheel problem

    I've had my iPod nano 3rd generation for over a year now and it's worked flawlessly ever since I got it. Unfortunately about a month ago, the click wheel stopped working. It would not scroll and I could not hit any of the buttons (including the center button). The strange thing is that I can actually still reset it. When I put it on hold and take it back off the backlight lights up and I can see the iPod working fine otherwise.
    I plugged the iPod into a computer at my campus apple store and restored it. After this, the click wheel was fixed and worked perfectly. I went back to my dorm and left it there until I came back later that evening after classes to try and use it and found that the click wheel had once again stopped working. I only hope this isn't a drastic hardware problem because I can't afford another mp3 player or any repairs on my college budget. If anyone can offer some help, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Not much. You can buy and replace the click wheel.

  • MS Usb Mouse Scroll Wheel Problems

    Im having this problem on my laptop running arch.  I have the USB module loaded.  My XF86Config file looks as follows.
    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
    Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    EndSection
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse1"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device" "dev/usbmouse"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Buttons" "5"
    EndSection
    I get output from this usbmouse via (cat)
    cat /dev/usbmouse
    or
    cat /dev/input/mouse2
    With both cats, I get output by scrolling the wheel and by depressing the wheel(5th button).
    I really don't know what else to try.  I have tried putting protocol on auto, and switching device path to /dev/input/mouse2 with no luck.

    I have a Twinhead lappie. In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ( Arch 0.6 )
    ( which is looked for before XF86Config ) I have :
    Section "ServerLayout"
    # ps/2 mouse not detected
           Inputdevice "PS/2 Mouse "AlwaysCore"
    # Serial mouse not detected
           InputDevice        "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
    EndSection
    Section "Inputdevice"
    Identifier "Serial Mouse"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "Microsoft"
    Option "Device " "/dev/ttyS0"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    EndSection
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
    Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    EndSection
    Section "inputDevice"
    Identifier "USB Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option "protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option Buttons"       "5"
    EndSection
    That gets the touchpad and USB working for me, allowing for the fact that I copied it by hand, and may have made a mistake.
    This works for me, but I must try  'ExploderPS/2'.
    I think it was just a straight copy from whatever Vector-soho decided I needed.
    Remember that X 4 looks for XFConfig-4 before it tries XFConfig. that can be a trap, if you edit config and leave config-4 alone, you make no changes to X runtime.

  • Scroll wheel problems

    I have had my nano for few months, and recently it started having a problem.
    The right side of the wheel (to advance through songs) no longer works. If I hold it in, I can fast-forward... but it still won't simply change songs.
    The left side still automatically goes to the previous song, so it's only the right side that has problems.

    Hello GadgetRick
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Use the article below to help you get the scroll ball clean and working again.
    [How to clean your Mighty Mouse|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417]
    Once in a while I resort to using a small amount of rubbing alcohol to cut thru the oil and grit, then blow out the ball socket.

  • 4G iPod Click wheel problem

    I have a problem, the scrolling on my 4G iPod 20GB is not working. I have tried to reset my iPod but it wont even reset.
    Alex Crompton

    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).

  • IPod Click Wheel - problems connecting to windows.

    I have a 20gb Click Wheel - my ipod keeps freezing when I try to copy my music library to it and then it says do not disconnect for hours until the battery dies out, it also over heats. My computer isn't registering the iPod at all and neither is itunes today itunes came up with what I think were japanese symbols across the window when the ipod was connected. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem. I've tried reinstalling the software for the ipod, I've tried restoring the ipod, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the updates and reinstalled windows but still no luck. Please can someone help.

    I have the same ipod and im having the same problems
    but mines I can't install the software after
    restoring tried everything
    Are you finding that when you connect the ipod and run the restore its showing the ipod to be a u2 ltd edition ipod because mine won't show the correct ipod type. I'm trying to find a contact email address for apple support but no luck.

  • 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).

  • ITunes 6 & iPod click wheel

    Hi all,
    Is anyone having any problems with iTunes 6 & iPod click wheel. I got two iTunes gift cards for Christmas and I cannot buy music until I update my iTunes which is 4.01 to v 6.x. I was just wondering if anyone had nay issues with this update.
    Thanks
    G4 dual 1.25Ghz, FP 17   Mac OS X (10.3.5)  

    I've not had a single problem with updating to iTunes 6.0.1.
    I use a 1st gen. 5 GB iPod (scroll wheel) and it works fine with the latest software.
    I would recommend updating the system software first to 10.3.9 (your info says you use 10.3.5)
    Hope this helps.

  • Firefox 4.0 - scroll wheel shrinks text rather than scrolling the page down

    On some web pages, when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse to scroll down, the page text shrinks, as if I'd done the appropriate gesture on a mobile browser. Reversing the scroll wheel direction enlarges the text. Moreover, the page down key seems to switch me to another tab, rather than moving down in the same page.
    I first thought that the scroll wheel problem does not affect all pages. However, it now seems that it has stopped misbehaving. I just went back to a firefox window containing a page I thought had misbehaved earlier, and the scroll wheel now behaves normally and so does the page down key.
    I upgraded to firefox 4.0, and told it to restore the tabs I had had open in the previous firefox version. The scroll wheel had behaved normally in that version.
    I have not closed and restarted firefox since the upgrade. I don't recall what version I had been running, but I generally upgrade promptly when a new version is available, so I was probably on the latest of the previous series.

    Try to close and restart or even reboot the computer to see if that helps. Sounds that the Ctrl key somehow got stuck in Firefox because zooming is the behavior if you press Ctrl and use the scroll wheel.
