20G click wheel not working after 7.1 update

I updated my iTunes to 7.1, then update my iPod software to the latest version. Now when I push a button on it it shows the 'power brick plugging into the wall socket' icon and won't do anything. Also, when i plug it into to my win 2000 machine via USB, I only have usb on this machine, no firewire, nothing happens. I can't get it to recognize the device any which way. When I reset the iPod it shows the apple, but then goes right back to the power brick icon. I've left the thing plugged into the wall over night to make sure it had juice, but that didn't help. Sometimes when I reset it while plugged into my computer it comes back with a battery 1/3 full icon. If only I could get my box to see the iPod then I could try to restore it
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Simon

  • Click Wheel not Working after changing battery.

    After changing my battery on my IPod Mini, the click wheel isn't working properly. I can press the menu,select,play/pause, forward and back buttons, but I when you rotate your finger around the wheel it doesn't work. Any suggestions??

    Hmmmm... If you changed the battery yourself, you might have damaged the click wheel when you took it apart. Re-check the wire that connects it to the main circuit board, and if not that, examine the click wheel itself. If apple changed the battery for you, call them because it's not your fault.
    Good luck...

  • Click wheel not working after replacing it!

    I have replaced an old battery on my 5th Gen iPod. Then I noticed that the click wheel wasn't working at all. I have checked all the connections and everything seemed connected but still not working. I bought another click wheel, replaced it and it's still now working. Maybe there is something else wrong.
    Can anybody give me some feedback please! Thanks:)

    The Hold switch is in the OFF position?
    I don't have experience with a 5th gen iPod, but on older models, there is an internal connector and ribbon cable that links the Hold switch to the logic board.  Makes sure that connection is secure, and not damaged.  The iPod may think the Hold switch is ON, when it is not.  That would cause the click wheel to be unresponsive.

    very likely it is a hardware issue, if after restore to factory setting does not solve.
    it could be caused by poor contact or the faulty click wheel of the iPod, just like mine

    My iPad2 is not working after an unsuccessful update to the new iOS6. How do I get working?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Download/install a new app
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory daults/new iPod.

  • HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

    Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

    OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
    Go figure? Logical, No!

  • 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?

  • Ipod click wheel not working

    Hello,

  • IPod mini click wheel not working

    Tuesday i was listening to my ipod and it worked just fine. the click wheel was working and everything was okay. i put it on my ihome to charge that night and left it there until i got home from school the next day. it worked fine in the morning(wednesday) when my alarm went off. wednesday night i took it off my i home and my click did not work at all. the buttons work but i can't scroll thru my songs or change the volume. it still has it's original battery so i know that's not what could have damaged it. between the time that it did work and the time i discovered it didn't it was not dropped or exposed to any extremes. i have reset it several times and restored to the factory setting and nothing has worked. please help!! i have had it for almost 2 years so it's out of warranty. is there anything i can do to fix it myself? i don't have the money to service it.

    Hi to both of you, and welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Well, if resets and restores are not helping, the clickwheel is malfunctioning. If you don't have the money to have Apple service it, would you be able to buy a new part?
    If you can't buy a new part... Your only option is to open the bottom of the mini, slide the clickwheel out, dissasemble the clickwheel, put it back together, and reconnect it. It may sound like a lot, but it's pretty easy. I've had to do it on my blue mini, but realize that this may not solve the problem and if it does, last forever. I finally had to get a new clickwheel. Visit: theipodmini.blogspot.com for instructions, which is my site dedicated to the mini.
