Does restoring your iPod solve the problem with the updater?

I have a fourth generation iPod and I downloaded the 10-12-2005 updater. Since then my click wheel will not work, but all the buttons on my iPod still work. I have looked through the discussions and many other people have this same problem, but i have not found any solution. Will restoring my iPod solve this problem? I want to be sure before I erase everything.

The music will come of your iPod but STAY on your computer. Documents that are on your iPod should be backed up because they will be deleted as well. Check the link below if you need more help.

  • I have a new hard drive and itunes and my computer (windows XP) no longer recognise my ipod. I also had the problem with the registry keys not being present but this has now been fixed. However i can no longer link my ipod up with itunes.

    When I first tried itunes with my new hard drive there was the problem with the registry keys but something also flagged up about needing a signed driver. Is this anything to do with why Itunes and my computer no longer recognises when my ipod is linked up? Whatever i try under 'devices' my ipod is never available to sync up. If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has not worked. I didn't have quicktime to begin with so I don't know if that makes a difference? After following the instructions, I get the "registry keys missing" problem appear again (which I've subsequently fixed again) and then when I connected the ipod I got the following message - 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'.
    I've tried windows update but this doesn't do anything as '...the service is not running'.
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you restore the iPod, you will lose everything. Make a backup of the iPod before

    You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • Fixing the problem with the Device Not Recongized by WMP and Mediasource problem with MTP devi

    PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING!!! I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER FAILED SOLUTIONS BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THROUGH MY WHOLE POST TO MAKE IT WORK!!!TRUST ME!!!
    ok, now I read this a billion times, and felt that I was the only idiot that had a "bad" computer that didn't allow me to use my Zen mtp device... but it turns out I was more idiotic than I thought. I hope this helps those who have the same problem I had...here goes...
    When you go to the Creative Labs website, go to Support, then Knowledge Base, then go to the MP3 players picture in the PRODUCT CATEGORY and click on it. You need to follow the steps that are described on the SID0053 Product Article. Then click on the Editing the System Registry link towards the bottom and it will tell you what to do...BUT there is something that I never ever did right and I bet lots of other folks didn't do right either. Once you are in the USB Properties seccion of the registry, YOU ACTUALY HAVE TO ADD THE WORD "EVERYONE" INTO THE ALLOWED SECCION!!! Not just because it says "Administrators" and what not means that EVERYONE IS ALLOWED, allow the word "everyone"thne click OK. Now, I did this with my Zen Touch on and plugged into the USB port and without the word DOCKED on it, as it wouldn't dock for me before this. that's it... hope it works for you, if it does then almost instantly the word DOCKED should appear on your MP3 player's Display. Hope that everyone has the same luck as I did. if not, I'll pray for you, I know how frustrating this problem is because I delt with it for toooooo long.

    I had a similar problem with my Zen Touch, but the only symptom was not being able to install MediaSource or the Software Suite. I got the same messages that you did. I was able to use Windows Explorer to add/edit/remove files, but I wanted the Zen Media Explorer so that I could create playlists. After about 2 days of research and trial and error, I ended up fixing it by uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.
    If you don't know how to do that, here are instructions...
    I'm using XP SP2, btw, so if you're using another version of Windows, it might be slightly different...
    ) With the Zen connected, Right-click on "My Computer"
    2) Select "Properties"
    3) Click on the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager"
    4) Right Click on "MTP Device" (or MTP Media Player) and select "Uninstall"
    5) Disconnect the player from the computer, wait about 5 secs, and reconnect.
    When you reconnect it, the drivers will be reinstalled. Try running the setup again after that.
    If that still doesn't work, look for random optional Windows updates, maybe?...esp. PlaysForSure, WMP, or USB/mobo/INF/Chipset driver updates...or maybe when it says "Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected," it actually <i>is</i> doing something, but it isn't apparent until you reinstall the driver. To be honest, I just don't know. The computer I'm using is only a few months old and I didn't have any problems installing on an older computer.
    Oh well. I hope that fixes your problem.
    As far as the problem with the 360 connectivity, I'm sorry I can't help you there.Message Edited by potestasx on -03-2006:28 PM

  • The problem with the warranty repair in Russia. I bought an Iphone without a contract in Paris, and now I must go there to have it repaired? In Russia, the repair takes only bought in Russia. Is this correct?

    The problem with the warranty repair in Russia. I bought Iphone4 without a contract in Paris, and now I must go there to have it repaired? In Russia, the repair takes only bought in Russia. Is this correct? So I was told over the phone in service and support in the near future, I was not planning to fly to Paris. Just for the sake of repairing the phone to fly to Paris is expensive.
    The problem of 100% on your phone, as trying to change SIM cards of different operator and the problem remains.
    Phone is constantly losing the signal during a call, and often just disabled.
    I bought 5 phones for himself, his wife and friends, and only I have these problems.
    Very annoying.

    Yes you will need to go back to France as the warranty is country specific except in EU countries.  Or if you know anyone there they could take it to an Apple store if you posted it to them.

  • I fixed the problem with the whole 'waiting' and not loading but now some of my apps won't open, what can I do?

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT1338 what about the problems with the trojan virus is that a problem for my mac as well?

    What about the problems with the Trojan virus will this be a problem also for me using Mac

    What Trojan?
    If you're referring to the DNS Changer Trojan, it's highly unlikely you're affected. The actual distribution of the trojan was stopped several years ago and the perpertrators jailed.
    The FBI has been maintaining the servers used by the trojan for the last 5 years in order to give affected systems time to be purged. They will finally shut them down on Monday.
    Ensure that your router and the Mac's network settings are set for the DNS addresses of your ISP, or if you're not sure what they should be, change them to Open DNS using the IP addresses;

    The invidual file's extension is ".flv",  what need i to modify to make the f4m file worked?

    In addition to the previous answers, the problem with the Seagate HD's involved in the recall is that they have a very high failure rate, to the extent that Apple expanded the recall to cover more computers than it initially did. For example, a user on Macintouch (another online Mac support community that is well worth checking out) reported that his company bought 40 iMacs and 25 of them needed their 1TB Seagate drives replaced.
    So if you can, get somebody with access to your computer to backup its HD as soon as possible if you don't already have a full backup.

  • What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7

    What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7 & missing MSVCR80.dll) - the DLL is not missing.  tgried to install today and it failed - what a waste.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall go to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
