Click wheel not sensitive in one spot

This may sound funny, and maybe I'm just not getting it, but it appears that my click wheel has no sensitivity one one spot. For example, when I scroll through songs, as I go around the wheel, there is one spot where it stops and then when I move past it, it goes again. I've noticed that when you put your finger on the wheel, a scroll bar appears, and if I put my finger on the spot, nothing happens, like it can't tell my finger is there. I just exchanged my iPod and noticed the same thing on the one I just changed. Is this a common problem on iPod classics?

There seems to be no sensitivity problem with the location you're describing on my click wheel. Try to reset your iPod and see if that works. Take it to an Apple store for support it all else fails.

IPod with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine. Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock. Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you? If so, that won't work. The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection. All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.

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

IPod Click Wheel Not Responding to Anything

I have the iPod click wheel 40 GB and it is not responding to anything. When I hit any of the buttons, an apple appears on the screen and then changes to a picture of an iPod with a sad face and an exclamation mark. This website also appears at the bottom. I have tried all of the five Rs and the iPod is not responding to anything. The battery will not even run out. What can I do?

try dropping it or hitting it. worked for me. i was about to buy a new one and i read a forum here that had many people posting that they just gave it a good whack and worked fine again.

Clicker wheel not working?

the clicker wheel is not working on my ipod mini which is only about 4months old. any suggestions why or how to fix it?

Do you have a 1st gen Nano? I have the exact, and I mean exact, same problem with my old 1st Gen iPod Nano. That's part of the reason why I got the new 2nd Gen one. I'm really not sure why it does that. It runs all my patience out trying to work the stupid thing. Now that I have my new 2nd Gen, I just use my old one to back-up my music and let it sit on my shelf to gather dust.

Clicking wheel not working!

Hey guys, I really appreciate the help. It would make my day.
All right basically I have an iPod Nano 2nd generation. Just a few days ago, the clicking wheel has a lot of problems. Sometimes it will just be normal and then it will be unresponsive randomly after 2 minutes or something like that. No matter how I turn/touch the wheel, it won't move. But listen to this. Once I toggle the hold on and off and then quickly turn the wheel, it works for about 5 seconds. Every other button works fine. I can press the menu, select, fast foward, everything. How can I fix this?

That is a lot of money. I would take it to an Apple store, they must have one in Jersey or hit the one in New York. I know that is a hassel, but when you go there make sure you tell them all that you think is wrong. Don't be afraid to talk to a manager. Just keep it calm and see what happens.
But if your ipod does have a dent or show signs of being banged around you will not get it repaired by Apple. The warranty only covers manufacture defects. Wish you the best of luck.

IPod nano click wheel not working

I have a 1st generation iPod nano. My click/scroll wheel is not working. I origianally thought that my iPod was frozen, but I'm almost positive now that it is the click wheel. I have restarted it several times by holding down the menu and circle button. Also, I was able to sync it using my iTunes, so I'm pretty sure it's the click wheel. Is there any way to fix this? Any help is apreciated!

Not a harddrive problem, there isn't one in the Nano, a hardware problem.
If you are the DIY type you can go to http://www.ifixit.com and there are pictures to show you how to disassemble your iPod so you can see if it is a loose connection.
If you'd rather not take it apart yourself there are 3rd party sites, such as http://www.iresq.com and http://www.ipodmods.com as well as ifixit that work on iPods. You can use Google to find more.
I am assuming your iPod is out of warranty.

Ipod 1st generation click wheel not responding - won't reset - apple icon

My ipod won't reset or show up in itunes when connected. Apple icon seems to be frozen on screen. How can I reset it? Help!

This is really the 1st gen iPod from 2001, with a non-touch non-click wheel that physically turns, and connects with a FireWire cable?
Make sure the Hold switch is not in the ON position?
The older iPods did a reset differently from more recent iPod that have a click wheel. Be sure you are following the appropriate reset steps in this document, based on the actual iPod model.

If it's a 1st gen iPod, it would be How to reset iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector). The buttons to press and hold are different from later iPods.

Yoga 13 touchpad not working at one spot

Hi,
i bought an Ideapad Yoga 13 from amazon and it has one problem. One spot on the left side of the touchpad is not working. When I move my finger to that point, the cursor does not move and the little icon in the notification area of Windows 8 does not show any pressure. The area goes from top to the bottom of the touchpad but is only a few millimeters wide. This is very annoying when I move my finger from one side of the touchpad to the other for example when I'm dragging something with the cursor, because at this point the cursor just stops.
Could this be a problem with the driver or is my touchpad faulty and I should just send the Yoga 13 back? Also do I send it to amazon or lenovo?
Thanks for any answers and suggestions.

hi pagefault,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
One way to try this out is to Uninstall the Synaptics Driver and try the touchpad using windows driver if it still the same.
To Remove Synaptics Driver:
Go and open Control Panel / Programs and Feature / uninstall a program
You will see Synaptics as one of the programs, Uninstall that and restart the Computer.
Once restarted Try the touchpad and see if the problem is still there.
    Verify that the synaptics driver is uninstalled by Checking the mouse properties
                Open Control Panel / Hardware and Sound / Mouse
      This option should be gone if the synaptics driver is uninstalled
If Without a driver, you're still having the same issue I would consider this as a Hardware Concern.
You can contact Amazon or Lenovo Technical Support about the issue.
If the problem disappeared without a driver
Try reinstalling the Synaptics driver by downloading and installing this
Synaptics TouchPad Driver for 64-bit Windows

Why does my click wheel not advance but it does scroll

my click wheel works, but not completely. see it turns, so i can lower the volume, rate the song or even advance the song. but when i want to skip, replay or use the menu, it's not working right. i have to use my fingernail (and it's hard on the nail polish ) and push at the very edge of the wheel and the ipod itself. and then i might have to do this 5, 6, 7 and even more than 10 times. this is for all four functions, even pausing it takes effort.
i like to alternate between my playlists, so i need the menu function and sometimes i like to replay the song (i write while i listen to my ipod and need to repeat it). i have the latest software, the latest itunes, recently i restored my ipod to it's factory settings, but still this has not fixed it.
i am not working right now and can't afford a repair or a new ipod. other than the music not advancing and such, my ipod works fine.
it's almost like the circut board inside has shifted, that when i push on it, it's not connecting. but the scroll is fine.
any suggestions on how to fix it?

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar.
Type '''mousewheel.enable_pixel_scrolling'''. Its current value is '''False'''

Click wheel not working properly anymore

Weird problem... my click wheel (4th gen) doens't work correctly all of a sudden. The buttons all work fine, but the wheel does not, meaning I cannot scroll through menus or turn the volume up/down or skip through a song's timeline anymore. I have tried the 5 R's. All of them. Including resetting the ipod to factory settings. Updated to the 1-10-06 software update. Just very strange the buttons work (play/pause, select, menu, forward, back) but the wheel itself does not (volume, scroll, scrub). Anyone heard of this? Went through a lengthy search and have found nothing so far. Thanks for your help.

Well Lufo you're not alone. My 4th generation iPod has exactl the same symptoms as yours. Scroll wheel not respondng at all but the select/menu/rew/fwd/play & pause working ok. I've tried the restore, firmware updates and, well everything imaginable. Mine is 2 months out of warranty and have just gone through the Apple repair service and have come back saying it will be £166.00 ($290.00) which I am absolutley shocked by. Needless to say that I didn't continue with that and at that price they can stick it where the sun doesn't shine. It's near the cost of a brand new unit here in the UK. To say I'm disguted is an understatment. Does anyone know of any good non-Apple repair outlets here in the UK?

IPOD mini click wheel not functioning

My IPOD mini click wheel is not working. When I attach to my PC, Itunes recognizes it, is able to read the hard drive/play music off the IPOD. I have tried to restore it, the drive is erased, but the click wheel still does not work. I am unable to reset the Mini using the click wheel. Itunes says my software is the most recent.
thanks

Mine does the same, I can get it to work by taking off the bottom plastic part of the Ipod Mini and pulling the metal thing out a bit.

Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Play/Pause on clicker wheel not working

Hey,
The play/pause part on my clicker wheel is not working!!
Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a solution?

Hi Katrine,
I think your Ipod is already hung up. Try press the menu and the center button at the same time for about 5-8 seconds and your Ipod will be ok.

Ipod mini click wheel not qorking

it works fine in its dock and on the pc but when i try to use the click wheel its does not work

Hi a.c.e.,
To reset an iPod (resetting your iPod simply restarts it):
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times.
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
You might need to try this several times. Also, for more effect, try connecting your iPod to a power source (like your computer or a wall charger, if available) while you reset the iPod.
If several attempts at resetting your iPod don't help with this issue, then you could also try a restore.
For instructions on how to restore an iPod, see this article:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
(Note that restoring your iPod to factory settings will delete all of the contents off your iPod, unlike resetting, which does not delete your songs).
