But 1 hour later I got it and turned if on, when I turned it on, the menu appeared but i tryed to change the screen and it wouldn't worked, so I tougth that the hold button was on, but it was not. So i turned the hold to on and off again, but when I did that the iPod turned off. Not like when u press the play button, like u turn off the TV! I tryed and tryed to make it again, but it wouldn't let me play any music or use anything related to the Click Wheel.
Please ppl, if some of you could help me I would be glad.

It didin't worked, I just did it.

Hold button turns iPod off...

I looked through the forum and found one person who had a similar problem to mine but their question wasn't answered.
My iPod has two main issues right now, after having gone through the 5 Rs. My computer and iTunes does recognize it but...
--The hold button when toggled instead turns the iPod off
--The click wheel (no matter how many times I refresh it) doesn't respond (except the Menu button)
Is there any hope for it or should I look into shipping it to an Apple Store?
iPod Nano

Have you been through these? (I don't think there's anything else you can try)
The Five Rs.
If nothing helps, you can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or you could take it into an Apple store and have them take a look at your iPod.

IPod Touch, home and lock buttons Turn iPod off, help!

Whenever I press the home or lock keys on my iPod touch it comes up the screen with slide to turn off and cancel, even if I press cancel it proceeds ago turn off, and then won't come back on, unless I connect it to a power connection, I have tried restoring it, and still will not work.

It it sill happens after restoring the iPod to factory deaults/new iPod, then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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?

Battery changed,but click wheel not working again

i was changed the new battery for my ipod mini 4G 1 st gen, however the click wheel not working again. the ipod is chargeble, and can lock and unlock, but when the switch turn back to unlock, the ipod is restarting. does anyone who knows what problem i have, and how to fix it? thank you so much
dell Windows XP

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 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.

Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My up button for volume does not work and need to turn incoming call volume up. is there an app to do this

my up volume button does not work and i need to turn the incall volume up. is there an app that does this?

Hey skeith75,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, your iPhone may need to be serviced to fix that button. However, if in the meantime you would like a workaround for turning the volume up on a phone call, you can use Assistive Touch:

If you do wish to service your iPhone, the following link should help you get started with the process. Included, you will find information on topics such as warranty, service pricing, and express replacement service.

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.

Ipod 4g click wheel not working

ive been reading that i need to reset it but the problem is that the click wheel / buttons dont work so if they dont work how do i reset the ipod?

Similar problem-although it may be of my own doing. I just replaced the battery in my 3g 10gig ipod. Now the controls don't work. Nothing-not the click wheel, nor any of the buttons. I accidentally stabbed the copper encasement that surrounds the headphone jack at the top of the unit when I opened it, but that can't be the reason for the dead controls, can it? The hold switch still causes the display to come alive when I toggle it. The battery works because the display works when its not plugged in. The hard drive works because I just synched it with iTunes. I tried a hard reset, but nothing because the controls don't work.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem or a botched repair job. Take it back to where you got it fixed.

The menu button will not work and I cannot turn the ipod off using the top button either. What do I do?

What can I do to fix this?

Try:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
- If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch
- If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
- There are third-party places like the following that will repair the Home button. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Also try restoring the iPod via iTunes. If it is necessary to place the iPod in recovery mode to restore use this program.

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.
