Ipod 20 Gb click wheel just doesn't want to turn on

I received my ipod one year ago and till last week I have never had any problems with it.Since last week it just doesn't want to turn on.I have done every step that it is said on the site that i should do in this situation and my ipod still doesn't turn on.When i try to restart it,it shows me the apple icon but it does not go any further.I can't get into my menu not even after I placed it on the Disk mode.I can hear it trying to open but never succeds.What am I supposed to do?And even if I should get it to a Service I don't even know where I could do that in Romania.
I would appreciate any kind of help.

My iPod photo's click wheel doesn't work.

My iPod photo's click wheel doesn't work? I can click it but cannot scroll with it...
Any suggestions?

That is a hardware issue. Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. If you want to DIY - iPod Repair Tutorials

Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
(When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
Have a nice day!

Why won't iPod 4th Generation Click Wheel 40gb (non-photo) charge?

I have an old but much-loved iPod 4th Generation Click Wheel 40gb (non-photo model) that I keep on a charging dock. Yesterday the screen went blank and it refuses to charge, so I assume the battery is dead.
Can anyone tell me if that's the reason? If so, exactly what replacement battery I should get? I've found replacement batteries listed for the iPod 4th Gen 40 GB photo and the 4th Gen 20 GB, but don't know if they'll fit. Thanks so much for any information out there!

hmm - curiouser and curiouser
I've now managed to get it to manually update (after iTunes took 100% of system resources and I had to force quit it...) but that still doesn't really help me with the auto-sync feature which still won't work
aaaaaaggggggghhhhh

I have an older Ipod with the clicker wheel. w

I have an older ipod with the clicker wheel. Once I have imported a CD to iTunes, how do I get it to transfer to the iPod by Artist or Album instead of only each individual song? When I import to my ipod and click on Artist or Album, it still shows the entire list of songs. Thanks

A 15GB iPod would have to be a 3rd gen iPod. It has a touch (not click) wheel with four touch buttons in a row that glow orange during use, correct? That model needs to be connected using FireWire, because it cannot charge over USB.
If your new Mac has a Thunderbolt port, you can get an adapter for FireWire
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
plus an adapter for FireWire 800 to FireWire 400
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/FIR1369AD/
Another way, if you have the square white FireWire power adapter that came with your iPod, is to get a special docking cable that Apple used to sell a long time ago. It has both USB and FireWire connectors. Here's a listing for a third-party version on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Vanco-iPod-Dock-Connector-to-1-USB-1-FireWire-Cable-/2 71074766489?pt=US_MP3_Player_Chargers_Cradles&hash=item3f1d50ae99
(Search on "FireWire USB iPod docking cable" to see other listings.)
What you do with this thing is plug the USB connector to your Mac's USB port, the FireWire connector to the FireWire power adapter, and the dock connector to the iPod. iPod can then sync over USB while getting power over FireWire.
I would go with that special cable, to avoid using a series of adapters (which adds complexity and unreliability) and tying up the valuable Thunderbolt port for just your iPod.

USB 2.0- Nano recognised as a iPod 20/40GB Click wheel model

Whenever I connect my iPod Nano into my ALi M5273 USB 2.0 PCI card, iTunes recognises my Nano as an old iPod (iPod 20/40GB Click Wheel model, with the black/white screen). The ipod icon under 'Sources' that appears on the left of iTunes appears as this model instead of a black ipod nano icon.
Sometimes the usb 2.0 card fails to connect altogether. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Or should i just buy a new USB 2.0 card?
Specs:
Windows XP Professional SP2
ALi M5273 USB 2.0 PCI Card
iPod Nano

Strange... i've tried both versions. Version 4.9 that came on the disc and version 5.0. But both versions of itunes still seem to have the same problem- with USB 2.0.
Is it strange for my USB 2.0 card to have 4 USB controllers?: 1x'Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller', and 4x'ALi PCI to USB Open Host Controller'? All in all, it's added 4 USB Root Hubs, one with 6 usb ports, and 3 all with 2 usb ports each. Is that correct? (My ALi USB 2.0 card only has 5 usb ports but my pc has added 12).
P.s: There is another USB host controller which is not accounted for, as this is used to control the USB 1.1 ports on my motherboard. The controllers and USB Hubs listed have all been added by my ALi USB 2.0 PCI Card.

5g iPod off-center click wheel

Hi all.
Just got my 5g ipod. The click wheel has a small gap on the left side. It does not seem to affect its usability. I was curious to know if the same happened to others and did the apple store exchanged it for you?
Thanks

Hi,
I just got my new I pod the other day, 5G, White, 30g hard drive, the first thing I noticed was the gap. I am very ******** when it comes to that stuff. I drive my wife crazy every time I purchase electronic items. The gap is lower left about 6 and 7 o'clock position, I called the apple store and they gave me a case number, Also they sent me a empty box to send the I pod back and they said they will send me a brand new one. It took about 30 min for the entire process over the phone. This is the first apple product I ever bought. So if i get my replacement Ill be a happy customer. The tech support guy was friendly, but make sure you write your serial number down when you call, that was the difficult part reading it from the back. It is so small, and 5's looked like S's etc.. Hope this post helps with your question.

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 and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide to power off (no data loss).

My Macbook doesn't want 2 turn on anymore

2 months ago I bought a brand new macbook pro. Last saturday I turned my macbook on and typed my password and suddenly it turns off. So I thought that maybe it was the battery, but when i put the charger in my macbook, the light on the charger started 2 flash orange and green.
I thought I will let it charge for over an hour, but my macbook still doesn't want to turn on.
Someone know whats wrong? Or dit someone ever had this problem too?

Never heard of the plug-light flashing orange and green, but it sounds like an overheat and a fried battery to me. If it won't turn on then you will need to have it looked at by an Apple Tech regardless. Sorry for your inconvenience.

MacBook doesn't want to turn off or logout...

I have had my macbook for a few months now (since August) and every since I've updated to Leopard my macbook sometimes doesn't want to turn off or logout. When this happens a message pops up telling me that the finder was not able to close and that I should try force quitting it. But when I force quit it nothing really happens. The bar on top of the screen and icons on the desk top go away and never reappear and when I try the power button nothing happens and I am forced to unplug and take out the battery. If anyone could help me with this issue between now and tomorrow, I would be highly appreciative.

Hi naroke!
When there are Finder related issues, often times the best (and easiest) fix is to re-install the operating system from the OS X 10.5 discs. You can try a few things before going to that point, though, so try these and it might fix the issue.
1. Reset PRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238)
2. Disk Utility / Repair Disk (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 / http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html)
The next option, might make sense to do an archive & install of the operating system.

My Iphone 5 doesn't want to turn on !

My Iphone fell down, and then It started to dysfunction many times.
It didn't stop to turn off, and turn on, then return off...
And now It doesn't want to turn on.

hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
if that doesn't work take it to the apple store and bring some money with you an out of warranty iphone 5 is $269 U.S I believe.

My Nokia N8, doesn't want to turn on bluetooth

Hey My N8 doesn't want to Turn On bluetooth, i bought it on mid-June, and it was working well but suddenly, didn't want to turn on Bluetooth i always have to Restart it, because when i go to Settings>Conectivity>Bluetooth then i select Turn on Bluetooth it freezes then i have to turn it off and on again then it will be able to Turn On Bluetooth, anyone please help please. Thanks in advance

It might be worth removing battery for 10 minutes and then replacing. Unfortunately with S40 devices there is not the scope for carrying out a "hard reset" as with S60 devices so your options are very limited here, as too old a device to allow you to re-install firmware with Nokia Software Updater.

IPod 40 gb click wheel completely dead!

I bought an iPod (40gb click wheel) in September 2004 for the grand sum of £299 – so it isn’t even 2 years old! It has totally died. Firstly in June it refused to be identified by my Dell computer; then it corrupted a part of the software in my computer which identifies my DVD/CD drive. I had that fixed by Dell – thank goodness it didn’t do any further damage! As a result of not being recognised by my computer I was unable to add additional tunes to it. The iPod was still working but then started to make lots of noises. It then stopped working altogether and produced the folder with!. I phoned the support line in early July and was told that there are several articles on the web site which could help – I followed the recommendations and it still continued to try to re-boot itself. I was also told that getting it fixed would cost me £166 as the one year warranty had run out !!!! (Surely it should last longer than that – also I can buy something new which is more reliable for less than that!) The last stage was the final appearance of the apple logo, a black screen and now it is completely dead. It refuses to charge up with the battery and I’m absolutely livid. It doesn’t warrant being fixed. I hearby plan to return this lump of rubbish to Apple as I was on the verge of throwing it away but didn’t want to pollute the environment with whatever nasties lie within.

I've got the same problem mate. The clickwheel started to ge dead in places like around skip forward track area, (which was annoying to say the least.) But the other day it completely died, now it tries to start up showing the apple logo, then you can hear inside the hardrive spin up then a loud click then it tries this again about 5 times before showing the support website.
Ive probably had the ipod for about 2 years.
Annyoing since its a 40gb ipod and i've barely filled up 13gb. I might take it into see what the shop says but i sort of know its gonna be not worth repairing. Plus the video ipods are looking really good.
