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.

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.

  • When I click on "App Store", the loader gets stuck on "Contacting iTunes Store..." I can click on the "iPod Click Wheel Games" and it works, but NOTHING else.

    I can click on the "iPod Click Wheel Games" and it works, but NOTHING else. Any suggestions?

    I was having this problem. The settings on my wireless router was set to hide my IP address so it wouldn't connect. When I changed that, I connected no problem. While this is annoying since I don't want my IP address to be out there, I just switch my router when I need to connect to the App/iTunes Store. Hope this helps. It worked for me.

  • IPod Click Wheel games compatible with ipod nano 5th Generation

    I've found the iPod Click Wheel Games by clicking the triangle that appears next to the "App Store" tab and clicking the third option, "iPod Click Wheel Games." But when I look at the details of any of the games it says they are compatible with:
    "This game is compatible with iPod nano (3rd and 4th generation), iPod classic, and iPod (5th generation) only. It cannot be played on your computer, nor is it compatible with other iPod models or iPhone."
    Does this mean that I cannot use them on my iPod nano 5th generation? or is the iPod nano being referred to as "iPod (5th generation)"
    I guess it just seems silly that a game is only compatible with older versions or that the newest iPod nano can NOT operate older games.
    Can anyone explain this? or has anyone tried to download one of these iPod Click Wheel Games and found that it actually Does work for an iPod nano 5th generation?

    Can anyone explain this?
    I can't but Apple should be able too - U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)

  • Problem syncing iPod click wheel games to nano 3rd gen?

    Hi, I've recently encountered a problem with syncing up my old nano with all of my click wheel games. I was hoping someone could help me, as I need to figure this issue out before Christmas. So, here's what's wrong:
    I plug in my iPod to the computer, bring up iTunes, and set up all of the games I want to sync under the "games" tab. Once I click sync, it recognizes that the files are missing (I've tried to locate them, but to no avail; I think they've been deleted).
    My problem; however, is this: I also have a 2nd gen iTouch. When apps for this iPod are corrupt or can't be located, all I have to do is find the app in the iTunes store, click "Buy" again, and it automatically downloads it for the second time, free of charge.
    For the click wheel games; though, it seems that this tactic doesn't work. I tried going to the games section of the app store and tried to download the files again, for free, by clicking "Buy", but then it proceeds to tell me this: "You have already purchased this item. Would you like to buy it again? If you buy it again, you may have duplicate items. If you can't find it in your iTunes library, make sure it's been downloaded by selecting Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu."
    And, by the way, I tried the advised method, too, which brought me: "All purchases have been downloaded for this account. You can burn a CD, DVD, or use shared folders on your local network to transfer them to another computer."
    So, I'm at a loss. I don't want to buy all the games again, so if someone could please help me fix this problem, it'd be really appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Im guessing the game isnt stated for ipod nano 5g so prob' no.
    Sorry couldnt be of more help, unless you can find it in games and download it again for this generation ipod.

  • Ipod click wheel games

    Unless I am severly bad sighted, I cannot find any apps or games for my nano. I know that there are specified click wheel games but for the life of me I cannot find them on itunes.
    Can anyone please help me?

    Hello Ryan,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First of all, there are no Apps for the iPod nano. Applications are only compatible on the iPod Touch and iPhone.
    Are you saying you are unable to locate the Games section of the iTunes store? If so, you can access it my holding your mouse over the Applications tab in iTunes until a small arrow on the right of the button appears. Go ahead and click that to receive a drop down list where you can choose "iPod Click Wheel Games."
    As to what games are actually compatible with your iPod model, that is hard to say. You can check the compability of each game under the *System Requirements* section of the game's description page. It seems there are not any games currently labeled as compatible, but several users have reported success with some.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1460 How can I download ipod click wheel games?

    I can't find any links for iPod games for my iPod classic. Do they still exist?

    Why not its Apple fault that these games haven’t been archived on iTunes. I am sure there are a few folks who have an iPod Wheel Classic who would like to obtain some of these games for there machines. I really feel sorry for the folks who really got screwed over by Apple who bought these games. I have been reading some of these message board posts from the public who bought and paid for some of these games a while ago and want to reinstall their purchase that they bought from iTunes awhile ago. But for some odd strange reason they cannot get any kind of help from Macintosh Company. They offered these games for owners for their iPod Wheel who in good faith bought the games and Apple decides to get rid of the games folks paid for. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ????

  • Why you delete the ipod click wheel games?

    I was ready to buy some click wheel games for my ipod classic and now I can't find any of them, if you still sell the ipod classic I dont see why you have to delete them >:(

    All of us here are only end users like yourself, so we wouldn't know why Apple decided to pull the Clickwheel games section from the iTunes Store.  One thing we can probably know for sure though is that it will not be returning.  Sorry.

  • How can I recover my missing iPod Touch? Be mindful that I have tried the find my iPhone app but it won't work because my ipod isn't in a wifi zone

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • HT203167 i have a purchased hardcopy of dvd movie which included digital copy. i redeemed it last week and loaded it to my ipad3, this week it is gone from my ipad and is nowhere in itunes. how can get my paid-for copy now?

    i redeemed a copy of a DVD / Digital movie last week in itunes tohen synced it to my ipad(3) now it is gone and itunes
    won't let me redo. How can i get my digital copy again?

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • How can I recover my lost iPod library?

    I went out running with my third generation iPod today and about half-way through the thing locked up on me. I just ignored it--keeping it in the unlocked position--and proceeded with my run only to discover that my entire library had been erased. At some point it appears the thing shut off and then started up again, but I didn't realize that it might be capable of erasing everything as it jiggled around in my pocket. Does anyone know how this might have happened--so I can prevent it from ocurring again--and how (gulp) I might be able to recover my files. Is that even possible?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
