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

App Store Filtering? Can I see list of Apps for Click Wheel Interface iPods

It's very convenient that Apple has made it easier to find Click-Wheel Games for the iPod Nano and other models sporting the click-wheel interface.
Does anyone know some way to filter Apps so one can determine what other (non-game) apps are compatible with the Click-Wheel interface? I would think one would also want to be able to filter on iPhone, iTouch, or iPad.
Basically, a compatibility filter.
Thanks.

Does anyone know some way to filter Apps so one can determine what other (non-game) apps are compatible with the Click-Wheel interface?
There's only about 18 games compatible with the click wheel iPods so there;s really nothing to filter.
If it works on an iPhone/iPad/touch, it will not work on the click wheel iPods and vice-versa.

make sure you have backup of songs and podcasts then do a restore.

IPod Click Wheel - problems connecting to windows.

I have a 20gb Click Wheel - my ipod keeps freezing when I try to copy my music library to it and then it says do not disconnect for hours until the battery dies out, it also over heats. My computer isn't registering the iPod at all and neither is itunes today itunes came up with what I think were japanese symbols across the window when the ipod was connected. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem. I've tried reinstalling the software for the ipod, I've tried restoring the ipod, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the updates and reinstalled windows but still no luck. Please can someone help.

I have the same ipod and im having the same problems
but mines I can't install the software after
restoring tried everything
Are you finding that when you connect the ipod and run the restore its showing the ipod to be a u2 ltd edition ipod because mine won't show the correct ipod type. I'm trying to find a contact email address for apple support but no luck.

4th Gen Click Wheel problems

I bought a 4th generation click wheel 40g ipod in May 06. In May 07 Apple told me that my hard drive was bad and to send it back for replacement. I sent it right to them in May and just received it back this month. I added a few songs tested it and it was working fine. Added 1000 songs and it was still working fine. I have used it less than 5 times since I got it back this month and it now won't do anything.
It is fully charged and moves from the apple screen to the sad ipod with the exclamation point and then to the battery symbol. I did the reset and all the steps and it is doing the same things my old one did. IS this common for this model? I'm calling Applecare in the morning but wish there was away around waiting months to get a new one.
Thanks

Unfortunately, it sounds like the replacement had a bad hard drive as well.
As far as "is this normal for this model?", a study conducted by MacinTouch has shown that 4th gen 40GB models are the most unreliable models there are.

IPOD Clasic (20 gig) B/W screen, Click Wheel won't connect to ITUNES

Hey, anyone have this problem or any ideas on how to fix it.
I have the classic, white, 20 gig IPOD with the black & White screen and click wheel. It does everything fine, except connect to ITUNES. It has all the music previously loaded, it charges from the USB and the wall and it plays the music.
When I connect it to ITUNES, it makes a weird clicking noise as it tries to boot up. This happenes over and over like it's trying to connect with ITUNES, but just can't. I have tried to fix this by resetting it and switching the hold button on and off. It is able to reset, but still doesn't connect to ITUNES. I can't restore it b/c it doesn't show up in ITUNES. When I disconnect it from the computer, a message comes up sayin it may be corrupted. I have windows XP and the most current version of ITUNES. I also have a black IPOD video (30 gig) which works fine with ITUNES, so I don't think there's a software problem.
Any ideas??

60 gig color screen ipod's click wheel died

My ipod's click wheel has stopped working, when I press any of the buttons nothing happens, but if I toggle the hold button the screen lights up so I know that the rest of the pod works, my computer can also see it when I connect it. I'm going on a long car trip in a few days so I don't have time to get it fixed, if I get one of the ipod remotes should it allow me to use my ipod untill i can send it in to be fixed? Also has anyone eles had this problem and if so what did you do to fix it ive updated it already.

I just ran the restorer and that just made it worse because now I'm stuck on the select language screen so now my computer doesn't see it. I'm picking up the remote tomorrow so hopefully it will work.

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.

I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel

I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel. I have fully charged it tried resetting it and on two different computers with the latest iTunes I have restored it with the latest firmware then moved it to hold and off hold held in the menue button and select button for 10 seconds but all I get is a screen where I select the language but cant get any response from the scroll wheel.
The hold button is working (I see the lock icon go on and off) I have done the restore procedure and then reset many times but no good I am wondering if I should open it up and disconnect the battery for 30 seconds.
I would appreciate any advice thanks in advance. (This is my Daughters ipod mine is an 8 gig one.)

You need a newer model iPod, a 4G or 5G. The 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

I want a glass case with protection of click wheel -- plesae help? (80 gig)

I purchased the belkin case, which I LOVE, but it's made for the 60gig and it's a pain in the arse to take on and off. I also love it because it has a plastic covering that goes over the click wheel, making NO part of the ipod exposed. Is there a case like this made specifically for the 80 gig? Thank you!

Check out eBay.
I just bought a Clear Plastic Case fo rmy 80GB iPod.
I paid.99cents for the Case & $7.00 S&H. It fits perfect and protects the entire iPod including the Click Wheel.
There are a lot of Cases on eBay so be sure to ask the seller if it will fit the 80GB.

Ipod Classic click wheel issue

The click wheel on my new Ipod classic (160 gig) is unresponsive at times. Initially I thought it was due to the Claro skin, but the problem seems to be present even after I take off the skin. I seem to have read that there may be a firmware update available to address this issue, but I can't seem to locate it on the Apple site. Can anyone confirm that the problem can be addressed by the update and, if so, where the site is for the firmware update? Thanks.

As far as I can tell there have been no updates to make the classic click wheel more sensitive. NONE of my older 5.5 skins are acceptable though the iSkin evo3 for 5.5G is the best of the sorry lot. I bought a 3-pack (white, black, blue) of the new thin iSkin for the 6G. I find these acceptable but there is no screen cover. It isn't perfect but acceptable to me.
iSkin has just introduced a new evo for 6G. Haven't tried it.
Just as a side note, I find the iSkin for the 6G a bit unresponsive after taking a shower. To me, it would seem that a little skin oil helps responsiveness. Go figure.

Ipod Nano click wheel

Hi I hope this is not a topic that has been well covered. My Ipod Nano (1st gen) click wheel will randomly stop working and will not work for days, then will mysteriously start working again. Any ideas how to fix this? I have restored the Ipod and updated the software but this seems to come up about once a month if not more often.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nate

Just got my 4 gig blk and i've got the same problem. the centre button requires a lot firmer press than the mini does. you have to push it beyond where the tactile feedback gives you the "click". its quite annoying really. maybe the non-synaptics made clickwheels are harder to click?

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 Can I Recover Paid For iPod Click Wheel Games

Well, well, well. It seems that Apple iTunes had really ****** me off today. Here is what happened
Recovering iPod Classic Click Wheel Games
Here is my story and at the bottom are my Questions
The hard drive on my old computer crashed and I bought myself a new one. When I finally decided to put more on music onto my iPod Classic something happened. iTunes disabled without deleting my $300 worth of iPod Classic Click Wheel Games. I've called and contacted them for support to no avail. I believe I forgot to authorize my new computer before putting on my new music.
Just before Christmas I called Apple support asking questions & the man on the phone didn't have very good advice for me. He said that maybe iTunes could replace the games for me. So I started looking at iTunes for iPod Classic Click Wheel Games and they were no where to be found. Apparently Apple had removed them from the store and yet they sell iPod classics.
http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/30/apple-removes-ipod-click-wheel-games-from-it unes/
After Christmas I tried again to contact them about my iPod Classic to try and have my $300 worth of click wheel games replaced. While I waited on the phone for an hour while they played poor quality music into my ear giving me sever headache. I was already frustrated as it is and when I got a hold of someone she I had trouble understanding her. (I have poor hearing, had a headache and was frustrated) She gave me advice to contact Apple about the iTunes store. I called again and got a hold of someone who i could better understand. He gave me a step by step information which was the same as the last person I had contacted.
Now I sent an email to iTunes store asking if i could get help
All the iPod Classic Click wheel games files were still on my iPod. Now I needed some way of retrieving the files. I made a that attempt at contacting apple and they told me that i Could "Check for Available Downloads". Which was the very first thing I'd Tried. But these are files which i believe apple only allowed One Download. I could not get my files from Apple.
Now I sent them a 4th Very long message stating what happened and Asking for Answers for Four Questions.
The files are still on my iPod Classic & I would like to Please get some answers to My Questions Which I WANT You PLEASE to Help Me with.
The files are still on my iPod Classic & I would like to know.
1) Is there a way for me to Re-Activate my 2.3gb of iPod Classic Games so that they will once again work?
2) Is it possible to copy the games from my iPod onto my computer & How Can I Copy these iPod Classic Games from my iPod Back Onto my Computer?
3) If I can find these files from somewhere else lets say one of my friends or Bit Torrent. Can I copy or download the files to Replace my $300 worth of games and put them back onto my iPod?
4) If I find a way to replace my games without Apple & iTunes help. Will Apple iTunes let me put the games back onto my iPod without deleting them thinking that I have stolen something which i paid for?
After all I have already paid for the files.
I really want to Download these games back from Apple iTunes Or to re-activate my iPod classic games and copy them from my iPod back onto my computer. It seems that this isn't possible. If this isn't possible I Am Going to Be very Skeptical about ever getting a iPod Touch or iPhone. I've already been telling a lot of people about my problem.
So Far Unfortunately for me Apple & iTunes has not been very much help.
Thank You for reading my message. Please help me with the answers to the 4 Questions
The message which they sent back Has Made Me Angry. I'm Not going on apple pay per incident Paying $35 for a phone call if they can't send me an email with answers to these four ******g questions. So I suppose you can tell that right now I Am ****** Off.
Since I sent the first message I authorized my new computer which didn't re-activate me games.
Then I went onto Google searching "how to copy files from iPod to computer."
Which Led me to this website
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/
I downloaded a trial version of Touch Copy
Somehow I managed to re-activate my lost games and copy most of the files back onto my computer using "Touch Copy".
Then I downloaded the last 4 missing files from somewhere else but I'm not posting where i got them.
Now that I have fixed my problem without Apple's expensive help
I Really Want To Know the answers to questions # 3 & 4
3) Can I copy or download the files to Replace my $300 worth of games and put them back onto my iPod?
4) Will Apple iTunes let me put the games back onto my iPod without deleting them thinking that I have stolen something which i paid for?
After all I have already paid $300 for the files.
I Thank You For taking the time to read my message.
PLEASE HELP ME

Transfer your purchases into an authorized library, recover other media from the device, restore the device.

Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
3) If I can find these files from somewhere else lets say one of my friends or Bit Torrent. Can I copy or download the files to Replace my $300 worth of games and put them back onto my iPod?
Not really. All ClickWheel games should be locked to the account used to purchase them. If your friend wished to authorize your library that would work. At the time of purchase you were told that you got only one (successful) download of the content after which it would be your responsibility to maintain backups.
4) If I find a way to replace my games without Apple & iTunes help. Will Apple iTunes let me put the games back onto my iPod without deleting them thinking that I have stolen something which i paid for?
It will be fine. If you transfer the games into your library they can then be copied to any compatible device where they will work. The key is that the library doing the transfer is authorized to the relevant account when you update the content.

How can i restart my 2004 model ipod (click wheel) on my computer and on my itunes?

Connect the iPod nano to the computer the exact same way you set up the old one. You don't need to create another Apple ID, iTunes Store account, or iTunes library.
