Center button will not select items

The center button does not respond, so I am only able to scroll up and down the menu that I'm currently on.
I tried the 5 R's. Then, I tried restoring it to the factory settings, which only got me back to the initial language selection screen (like when I first got the nano). So now, I can only scroll up and down the language choices, but can't even select English!
I'm living in Japan, so I'm not sure about english-speaking service locations.The iPod was given to me as a gift 3 months ago.
Dell Inspiron 6000   Windows XP  

Well, I know that there might not be any english speaking locations in your area (although I would think someone in the store would at least speak a little English), but here's another thing to consider:
Go into an Apple store. Find a salesperson, and signal them over to a Mac. Open Dashboard (looks like a little black circle down on the dock, looks like a car dashboard). Click on it.
See what widgets are turned on. There should be a translator. If that is not showing up, click the little Plus in the bottom-left. Scroll through the choices until you find the one that looks like a light blue and white globe. Click it.
That should open up the translator widget (blue and white in color, has 2 text boxes, each with a drop-down menu for language).
Change the top box to English, and the bottom box to Japanese. Type your message in the top box, and it should come out in Japanese on the bottom (might take a minute).
It's not the best translator, but with a combination of that and hand signals, you should be able to communicate.
I know that sounded reall complicated, but if you pick all that apart, it should make sense.
In the very likely event that what I said does not make sense, post back and I'll re-word it!
I hope this helps!

  • Center Button Will Not Work???

    Hi everybody,
    Here is my problem: my select/center button on my 3rd generation iPod nano is not working. I went to itunes on my computer, and clicked restore, now on my iPod it's stuck to the language setting. What do I do?

    You should go to the Apple Store, to get a new iPod Nano, there is a malfunction in your iPod's center button, i don't think restoring it helped at all, my guess is that it's a hardware problem.

  • After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

    after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

    First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
    If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
    Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

  • Selection tool will not select paths?

    I am new to illustrator. I created a few closed paths that I filled in with the gradient tool. Then, I made another new closed path. However, when I try to select the first path I made with the selection tool nothing happens. If I hover over the path, green type saying "path" or "anchor" will appear but I cannot click it and it does not show the actual lines of the path. However, If I hover over the last object I created, I can see that path fine, and I can select it. That is the only one. I made sure that the layer is not locked and that I am working on the right layer. It was working fine earlier, but now I have no clue what happened.

    There rare many reason this could be happening your item could be
    locked or on a locked layer
    inside a clipping or transparency mask
    has a large object on top, (happens to me often when I have a white plate)
    Good methods to troubleshoto this
    select all then hide - to test if item is selectable or locked
    hide the item on top until you dig down to why you want, make the change, then show all
    command click to get past items on top, each click takes you down a layer
    check your preferences that object select by path only is off, when that is on you need to be more precise with your clicks as will not select by fill only path
    I recommend using the 2nd bullet technique of hiding, this will help you learn a lot about Illustrator

  • TS3992 I am not able to backup my iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed out on my phone. The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do?

    I am not able to backup my Iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed outon my phone.  The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do? I need to save my pics, info....etc, because I have to get another phone.

    Back up to your computer instead.  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.  Finally, save any photo stream photos to your camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  (You don't need to delete them from your phone afterwards unless you need the space.)
    If you're getting another phone, be sure to delete your iCloud account and turn off iMessage, FaceTime and Game Center before doing so.  (See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661).

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • HT2515 My cam works fine with every program except yahoo.  If I just sign into yahoo or even if I use ichat for yahoo, the webcam button will not highlight up.  How can I fix this and/or what am I doing wrong?

    Hello, my father recently passed (using his ID) and I took over the payments on his mac and took his computer.  I am not that familiar with mac, but am usually computer savy.  However, this one has me stumped.  I have no problem starting the built in cam and it seems to work fine with all other programs I've tried using it with.  However, it will not work with yahoo.  Whether I use normal yahoo messenger or if I try using Yahoo through I chat.  The cam button will not light up, therefore, it is not clickable.  Which ultimately means I cannot use my cam on yahoo, which is something I use 99% of the time compared to other programs.  So why is this happening and what solutions can I take to try and fix this?  The mac I am using is: Mac OS X, Version 10.7.4
    Thank you for any and all help, it is much appreciated. 

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    1) If the iTunes preference window is open when you connect your iPod, the iPod will not be recognized by iTunes.
    Also, iPods can work with many iTunes libraries, so that is not the problem here.
    Is all the software on your computer up to date?
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Updating iPod's Software
    Does the iPod show up in My Computer when connected to your computer? Does it say Do Not Disconnect?
    Try the steps listed here...
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    If you are going to use your iPod with multiple iTunes libraries (home and school)...
    Using iPod with multiple computers
    2) What part aren't you understanding. Here are a couple of free programs you can use to convert videos...
    MPEG Streamclip
    Videora iPod Converter
    The programs should come with documentation and instructions to convert videos.
    3) You can go to file-->add file to library, file-->add folder to library, or have iTunes open and drag the files into the iTunes library while viewing the library.. You can also import from CDs.
    iTunes needs to be adding the songs to the iPod. You cannot just add the song files to the iPod.

  • When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?

    When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?

    I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
    for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
    It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
    Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
    so I changed 4 settings in about.config
    browser.tabs.warn on close true
    browser.warn on quit true
    browser.warn on restart true
    browser.show.quit warning true
    but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
    So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

  • Home Button will not depress.

    Hey all,
    So I dropped my iPhone 4S the other day and the screen cracked which ***** but the worst part is that now the home button will not depress. I can push really hard and that will make it activate but there is no "clicking" sensation when pressing. It is really frustrating to have to push down really hard everytime I want to go back to the home screen.  I am hoping there is a way I can fix it without having to open up the phone before i go and get it replaced.
    Thank you.

    The only advice is to go to an Apple Store and see if they can help.
