Click wheel iPod to iPod dock adapter

Is there an adapter to connect a firewire Click Wheel iPod to a new iPod docking station? I want to charge the ipod and play the music via a dock connector.

My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes.

Hi There,
The title actually says it all..
(My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes 7.4.2, although the iPod works fine.. iTunes keeps saying to reset it, but I don't see why I should)
The iPod seems to work just fine, so I'm not in a big hurry to erase all my songs audio books etc..
I am thinking that this is a problem with Macintosh iTunes version 7.4.2, from what I'm seeing, but how should I proceed?
Many thanks for any help.
Eric

Sounds like a dead battery. Take it into your local Apple store/Genius bar and see if there is anything they can do for you. Another option is to send it in to a third party repair company who can replace the battery at a pretty low cost.

How much will it cost to replace the click wheel on my ipod nano 4th gen?

Depends on whether you have Apple do it or a third party repair company (which will be much cheaper). Here are Apple's repair quotes.

Click wheel accessories with iPod Touch???

Hi,
Does the touch have the same inputs as the Click wheel model as far as hooking up accs. like a wireless remote. My clickwheel seems to have died and I have a docking station and a remote I was hoping to be able to use with the Touch?
Thanks for any help!

not quite.
I have a recently purchased Belkin docking station and an iJet remote I use while riding my bicycle. The receiver unit plugs into top of my iPod w/clickwheel and the remote I mount on my handlebars. I was hoping the plug ins on top of clickwheel were the same as the touch.
Thanks for the response!

(40 GB Ipod with click wheel) Restored my ipod, error messege of a plug in-

Ok so I got an ipod. Ok so I plug it in my Microsoft XP computer. Open Itunes (by the way it takes 5 minutes to recognize the ipod, and eveything freezes) and it says it needs to be restored, so I restore it and then I get the Plug-In icon of the wall charger. So I give it to my friend cuz he has one. I get it back the next day and plug it in again, ( again my computer freezes for 5 minutes) and it says it needs to be restored again. I barely got the ipod and it was used. HHEEELLLPPP!. I tried sites that i read in other discussions and nothing works.

Have you tried connecting it to another PC or Mac to see if it recognized there? This will help determine if it's an iPod issue or a Mac one.
I assume you have tried a different cable and USB port? If the iPod powered on when you connect it?

Ipod touch 4g dock adapter

I have recently purchased an ipod touch 4g. I currently use a universal dock and would like to use it properly with my new ipod touch. I have looked at the "Official" ipod touch 4g adapter and it doesnt seem to fit very well. I am wondering if there is a dock that will better support the ipod touch 4g? Perhaps the adapter from the 2g touch? If anyone has any insight it would be much appreciated

The Apple Universal Dock works for many generations of iPod Touch's.
If you purchased one of these newer models it should have come with the correct dock adpater.

The only thing you need to change is the adapter for the correct iPod Touch.
#16 dock adapter is for the 2nd and 3rd generation model.
#20 dock adapter is for the 4th generation model.
If you don't have the #20 dock adapter, they are available from Apple here:

Is there a trick to using the center of the click wheel on my ipod nano 5th generation?

I just bought a used (only 5 hrs playtime) from someone and I cannot get the center of the click wheel to pick up my touch very well...it takes forever to scroll thru and its frustrating! Is it normal for it to be that difficult to use or do I just need to get used to it?

It is not normal, there is something wrong with the click wheel.

Does the New Aluminium Apple Remote have a Click Wheel, like an iPod nano?

It looks like Click Wheel, but does it work the same way?

No, the new Apple Remote uses 4 way directional buttons instead of a clickwheel.

IPod Touch 3G dock - adapt an older model?

I've just bought an new 3G 32GB Touch. I thought I was going to be OK using the Dock for my old iPod Photo 40GB. I was wrong - they've changed the design, so the insert won't fit.
That's a bit of a nuisance, as I've got 3 of the old-style docks.
A couple of questions:
Has anyone successfully modified the old dock to fit a Touch? It looks like it'll just be a case of making an insert to hold everything in place.
If I make it fit, will everything work, including the remote?

I've just checked all 3 of my docks. 2 are the older type, the third is the later type, with remote eye and removable insert. The remote one works fine, so I'll use that with my audio system.
I need to convert one of the older ones, just to use as a sync/charge dock with my Mac.

Click wheel ipod and vista question

Hello, I have a 4G click wheel 40 gig ipod (updater version 3.1.1) and I have been using my mothers computer which has windows xp and i haven't upgraded itunes to the version 8. I was given a new computer (32 bit) which is running windows vista basic. My question is am I going to have problems with using vista basic and my older ipod? I have heard that it was turning older ipods into bricks and have been scared to transfer everything over to the new computer.
Also, I am using it with an Alpine KCA-420i (got it the same time as the ipod) in the truck, and it worked great for a while and for the past two years it freezes up, skips songs or just won't work and was wandering if it was due to upgrading itunes? The last time the ipod was updated was for the version it is running now.
I am trying to be careful with my ipod since it got frozen during an ice storm (no electricity for nine days) and left in the truck in bellow freezing temps for a couple of hours. The hard drive didn't appreciate it and is now not really working all that great. clicking, whirling ,grinding noises ya give it a couple good whacks on the back or sides it starts to work again. I read some post on reformatting the disk, last time i tried it the ipod froze but now i am going to try again. I did the diagnostic mode solution and it keeps getting frozen in the HDD scan.
Sorry this is long, but if anybody has any suggestions or answers that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I don't have a guide or anything, but it is almost as easy as replacing it with another hard drive, and there are online guides for doing that, for example
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Device/iPod4th_Generation_orPhoto
Be sure to use those plastic tools. If you use metal ones, you will damage the iPod's case.
And it's a Compact Flash card that I used, not an SD card (which is smaller). Compact Flash cards 16GB and below are getting affordable (if you shop around online), although 32GB and higher ones are still expensive. 4GB cards are very cheap, so you may want to try it with one of those, to confirm it works, since it is always possible there are other problems with your iPod.
1. Get one of these adapters, or equivalent. It's $5 with shipping included.
[CF Compact-Flash SSD To Toshiba IPod 1.8 inch Adapter|http://cgi.ebay.com/CF-Compact-Flash-SSD-To-Toshiba-IPod-1-8-inch-Adapt erW0QQitemZ180303249125QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Cables_Adapters?hash=item29fae93ee5& _trksid=p3911.c0.m14&trkparms=72%3A1240%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A2% 7C294%3A50]
The listing above on eBay is the same item from the same seller as the one I bought.
2. It fits in the iPod case with only one minor mod. There is a pair of jumper pins, used for the master/slave setting; you can see it on the image in the listing (on the left side). You want it with the jumper ON, for the master setting. It sticks out too much, so I just bent the pins 90 degrees with needle nose pliers, and the jumper still fits. If your 4G iPod is the 40GB model, it has the thicker drive and case, so it may fit fine without bending it over.
3. Connect the Compact Flash card to the adapter and connect the adapter where the 1.8-inch hard drive was connected. You need to put something non-conducting between the logic board and the adapter/CF card. A stiff piece of paper (like a business card) would work; I cut a piece of clear plastic from the +impossible to open without hurting yourself+ packaging material that most tech products come packed in these days. Cut it to the right rectangle shape to fit between the logic board and adapter/CF card without sliding around.
4. The adapter plus CF Card is much smaller than the hard drive, so you need to fill that space to avoid it rattling around. Cardboard pieces would work, but if you want to take advantage of the lighter weight, get something light. I used some of that flexible foamy packing sheets that are used to wrap around delicate items for shipping. I cut appropriate size pieces to take up the extra space. I put one layer between the adapter/CF card and the logic board and the rest between the adapter/CF card and the metal half of the case.
Then, you just connect the iPod and run a Restore, as if it was a regular 4G iPod. The three key advantages are better shock resistance, lighter weight, and no drive spin-up delay. The only real disadvantage is lower capacity, unless you get a more expensive CF card with higher capacity.
Note to other readers: I also tried this retrofit with an older 3rd gen iPod. It did not work for me and the parts I used; I could not get the iPod to format or restore with the Compact Flash card inside.

Click wheel iPod connectoiin troubles

I am having troubles with my click wheel 20 GB iPod (colorless screen). When I attempt to turn it on, it displays the folder and exclamation point icon. When I connect it to my computer (windows XP), it sometimes shows the do not disconnect screen and says it is charging, but it will not show up in iTunes, and it shows up under "my computer" intermittently, and when I open it there, nothing shows. I have tried recharging it,resetting it, all those re words, and still nada. One last note:I started experiencing these problems after connecting my iPod to a computer with iTunes 7. Help would be much appreciated.

Mitch, another forum member on here, has a good post about what to do if you have a / folder on your iPod.

IPod Blue Case - anyone having problem with dye rubbing off on click wheel?

I purchased a new iPod 30gb a month ago and for some reason the blue due from the case supplied with the ipod has rubbed off in splotches on the click wheel of my ipod. I can't seem to remove it with anything.
Apple says this is a cosmetic thing they don't cover - I realize that but its a drag after only having it for such a short time.
Anyone else have this problem - suggestions or how to clean it off the click wheel?
Thanks,

Unfortunately I had the same problem.my advice for all new users wash the cover carefully before using it!!!

Click wheel on ipod 30 gig

Does anyone know if you can change the color of the click wheel on an ipod. I bought one for my son and he wants to change the click wheel from black to red. Can this be done?

I am having the same problem, and as I have done a little research on these discussion it sounds like a lot of people are in the same boat. I think it just comes down to apple is a ******* scam. This all happens after the warenty runs out and no matter how many times you restart and reset the **** thing it will just go back to the same problem sooner or later. If anyone has any fresh new ideas let me know, but at this point I am pretty sure I have tried everything. I can promise you I am never buying one of shitboxs ever again. **** off apple

Click Wheel iPod Stuck At Frowny iPod

My friend has a very old iPod, one of the first click-wheels. The iPod never makes it past the frowny iPod and error with the link to apple.com/support/ipod. When i try to set it into disk mode, the error still occurs. does anyone know how to fix this?

I don't think it will do any harm, but I don't think it will help in this case. The 4th gen iPod existed before Intel Macs existed, so +Apple Partition Map+ was the only choice when they were new (unless they were formatted for Windows). So I think +Apple Partition Map+ is the better choice. Intel Macs can use either +Apple Partition Map+ or +GUID Partition Table+ equally well. I have a 3G iPod and a 4G iPod, and they use +Apple Partition Map+, and they work just fine with my Intel Mac.

Click wheel problems when plugged into dock connector

I just got my 80gb yesterday. I'm having problems with the click wheel. I have an adapter that plugs into my car stereo through the dock connector and also a Bose docking station. With my old 4th Gen iPod, I could use the click wheel to scroll through the menus while it was plugged in.
With my new 80gb classic, it has trouble scrolling when plugged into the dock connector. Is anyone else having this problem?

Similar thing is happening with mine, except the other day my boyfriend dropped it into a cup of beer... it worked fine right away but then when I tried to use it again a few hours later it wouldn't turn on. When it's plugged into my speaker dock, it lights up and first just shows a gray screen with an apple but I can reset it and then it works fine, plays music, etc... but when I take it out of the dock the screen freezes up with these horizontal lines on it. I figured it must be battery related too but not sure.
Sorry this is really unhelpful, I just wanted to commiserate and see if anyone comes up with an answer for you...
