Click Wheel does not work

My ipod turns on, but the click wheel no longer works. Anyone know how to fix that?

Alright.
1. Snap the hold switch from off to on to off.
2. Press Menu + Select (if the buttons still work)
3. Hold Menu + Select until the image on the screen disappears and is replaced by an Apple Logo
4. Quickly hold Previous + Select while the Apple Logo is visible.
5. You should enter Diagnostic Mode.
6. Navigate to IO
7. Navigate to wheel
8. Run tests.
9. Post results.
I undersand you may not be able to do much of the above because your clickwheel may have a hardware error, but try anyways

  • 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.

  • Ipod click wheel does not work at all..

    I gave a friend of mine my 4g photo. It worked for him for a few days and then stopped. He brought it back to me and I restored it twice back to factory settings. Still nothing. The other weird thing is when you cycle between hold and on, it starts the ipod like it is an on and off switch. The click wheel does not respond, and the hold thing is just weird. I just would like to know if this is a hardware problem, and if there is anything I can do to get it up and running again.. thanks...

    hi muddy angel, recently i had a problem that sounds similar. my well cared and little used 40gb ipod didnt respond to the clickwheel -no reason that could be recognised. gravis in berlin, germans probably biggest apple dealer, checked the item. they told me it would be a rare, but well known very unlucky thing that clickwheels sometimes just give up their functions for unknown reasons. unfortunately my clickwheel did so, after the warrenty has run out a couple of weeks ago and as well annoying is the fact that a replacement of the clickwheel is horrible expensive. so, if you have the opportunity to have your ipod checked by a hardware pro - try it.

  • The menu button on the click wheel does not work!!!

    I just got my I pod nano Black(2gb) and for some weird reason the 'menu' button on the wheel just does not respond. So i cannot go back to the previous menu or reset. What do i do????

    See this.
    How to reset the iPod if the buttons appear frozen.
    It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.

  • Click wheel does not appear to be working

    My click wheel does not appear to be working. I can however, press "menu" & the center button at the same time to reset it. Any suggestions on how to get it working again?

    Have you tried doing a RESTORE on the iPod when plugged in and showing up in iTunes?

  • 20GB click wheel iPod not working- or showing up on computer

    My wife's late-2003 20GB click wheel is not working or appearing on either of our Mac computers (either in iTunes or Disk Utility) when attached.
    It's making a rather worrying sound (as if trying to engage a hard drive maybe?) and will briefly flash the Exclamation Point/Folder icon, then say Disk Mode and a checkmark and ready to disconnect.
    Since it's impossible to find the iPod Updater software how do I restore this iPod- or even just get it out of disk mode? I've tried resetting it and had it plugged into a wall outlet for a day or so to make sure it wasn't a dead battery... any thoughts?
    It had been working fine (and regularly connected to the computer to update).

    You could try to format the iPod in Windows. It does the same thing as restoring and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
    First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
    See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
    On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". When that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.

  • Installed new version of Firefox, now scroll wheel does not work

    Installed new version of Firefox, now my scroll wheel does not work. I need this fixed immediately or will be forced to abandon Firefox as my browser. Can anyone help? I saw some Q&A on this but no definite fix. Thanks!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Immediately after I installed

    I have the same problem, plus more. I cannot click on a button, does no good. I have been using 3.01, would never upgrade; always had a problem since 3.5. Now I upgrade to 3.66 figuring the problems were over, wrong. No scroll wheel, no buttons, cannot close half the windows, cannot go to a bookmarked page. Did Microsoft take over Mozilla? If I wanted a junk browser, I would use IE. I want the Firefox that it used to be; stable, reliable. What happened? Only way I can get Firefox to work is in safe-mode.

  • 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 is not working

    My click wheel is not working, but the menu, play/pause, arrows and select (center) buttons are working. I've done everything this website says to correct, and it's not working. Can anyone help?? I use this Ipod at work, and I am in deep trouble if I don't have a working one right now.

    I've done everything this website says to correct, and it's not working.
    Then it's time to call iPod tech support - U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) or try some of the suggestions mentioned in the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual (direct PDF download)

  • The click wheel is not working

    my click wheel is not working, i cannot select my music because i cant change it..... can you guys help me !!!!!!!!!!

    hey and whops about dropping your ipod...
    heres what i think but im not an ipod know it all so what i say might not help but any way...
    And it connected and updated and everything was okay, instead of the Click wheel control!
    well this sound okay so it probly isnt anything to do with the hard drive if it is updating ect...
    I think it would have to do with the fact that the hold lock was on... have you tried jigling the hold switch back and forward a bit? that often helps...other wise i think you should take it to an apple store and see what they can do.
    Hope it fixes

  • Mouse Wheel does not work on a Laptop?

    I have written a program to support mouse wheel action in my appplication. (using 1.4.1) This works fine on my desktop PC but on my HP Laptop it is a no go.
    The mouseWheelMoved event doesn't even register on the built-in mouse pad of HP. (I checked it out in debug mode and moving the HP mouse wheel does not generate a mouseWheelMoved event.)
    Any help or insight on this problem is appreciated.
    Thx

    Maybe it registers as some other mouse event. Have you trying listening and reporting other events?

  • Oh, my click wheel does not click anymore.

    Hi.
    It appears the click wheel is stuck. I know the 5 R's, but is restoring the iPod going to unlock the locked click wheel?
    Suggestions?

    Okay, I'm still confused. Click-wheels are not supposed to rotate. They only sense your finger's rotation. Are you saying the wheel is not responding to your finger movements?
    If so, I would try basic things like rebooting and switching Hold on and then off. You could also try restoring if that doesn't work, but honestly this is starting to sound like a hardware issue.

  • I dropped my Ipod and now the click wheel is not working anymore

    Hey! I hope you can help me! I dropped my Ipod today, and now the Click wheel doesn't work anymore! The IPod broke open, but I put it together again! When I came home I connected it with the computer to see if "its" alive. And it connected and updated and everything was okay, instead of the Click wheel control! When it dropped there was "Hold" and now I can't deactivate "Hold". So I think, maybe the click wheel doesn't work because "Hold" was activated the moment the ipod dropped! BUt I don't know! Maybe something inside the ipod a soldering joint got torn apart, or something, I don't know! I just know the click wheel doesn't work, anything else seems to be okay! Can anyone help me???
