I have a third-generation iPod nano, and the click wheel died today. Is it possible to replace myself?
There's been a delay or lack of response for a while now, but the ribbon connecting it to the logic board is fully into the clip, and there's no clicking noise when I try to scroll or press any of the buttons. I've replaced the screen before, so I was wondering whether I could replace the click wheel, and how - there's a lot less on the internet about how to do that. I'm really trying not to let my iPod die of old age, so any help would be great.
You will have to replace the front panel and rear panel.

I have a first generation ipod shuffle and the light keeps turning from orange to green and blinking back and forth. What should I do?
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 on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am trying to sync an audiobook from iTunes to a 7th Generation iPod Nano. The manual says audiobooks can be synced to this device by going to iTunes, selecting the Book button and selecting sync audiobooks but when I select the Book button I do not see any syncing options to select. What am I doing wrong?
Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

Why can't I sync my ipod? and where is the newest sync button? there is no more file and sync button anymore.
Are you sure you have a 2G iPod? See:
Identifying iPod models
A 2G can go to iOS 4.2.1 via iTunes directly if you have iTunes 10.X on your computer.
A 1G can go to 2.2 via iTunes amd 3.1.3 via the link proved already in this discussion.
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Have a 3rd generation ipod touch and the touch screen will not work.
What should I do? My iPhone sometimes does this and there is a key on the side that I always hit and it makes it work again but my ipod doesn't have that. What to do what to do what to do
Try the standard fixes:
- Reet. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/nw iPod.
If you still have the problem it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?
I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again... -
I have a 5th generation IPod Nano that I have registered to my ITunes account. I recently bought my daughter a 7th generation IPod Nano and have attempted to sync this new IPod to my ITunes account. A message continues to appear saying that it does not recognize the (new) device... Any suggestions ??

I have a 5th generation iPod nano. I downloaded an audiobook on Itunes. It will not let me sync saying this computer is not authorized. Anyone know what to do?
Move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Hello! I have a first generation Ipod Nano!
Hello! I have a first generation Ipod Nano! Unfortunately he is not working as it used to, in this regard, I would like to clarify: Can I change it at the official Apple store, a new one? If so, how much will it cost? (no money to buy a new Ipod, and I would like to change to the new surcharge).
In advance, thank you!At an Apple Store they will give you 10% off the price of an new one if you recycle your old one.
But if you have a 1st Generation iPod you need to go this route: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano_replacement/ -
I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?
Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

Hi, I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks
Hello Lor100,
In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

My grandson played with my 4th generation iPod touch and the phone icon and contacts icon are gone. I have gone to settings and done the "reset all settings" and "reset home screen layout" with no success. I also did a hard reset. No luck. I can get to my apps through the search screen but no icons.Help?
Try doing a Spotlight search for the Contacts app.
