Ipod click wheel corrupted, restored and not seen in I-tunes

I have a 20 gb ipod click wheel that froze. It gave me a message it was corrupted and to restore it back to factory settings. I have restored it to version 3.1.1. currently, itunes does not recognize the ipod at all, therefore I am not able to update it. I have tried two ipod updater's that are on my machine, but they say invalid ipod service version. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes multiple times. I am still unable to update my ipod. Thank you in advance for any help.

Same here. I think the new versions of iTunes have corrupted mine to the point where it doesn't sync, is deemed 'corrupt' and won't restore. I think we may be forced to upgrade.

IPod Click Wheel Not Responding to Anything

I have the iPod click wheel 40 GB and it is not responding to anything. When I hit any of the buttons, an apple appears on the screen and then changes to a picture of an iPod with a sad face and an exclamation mark. This website also appears at the bottom. I have tried all of the five Rs and the iPod is not responding to anything. The battery will not even run out. What can I do?

try dropping it or hitting it. worked for me. i was about to buy a new one and i read a forum here that had many people posting that they just gave it a good whack and worked fine again.

My ipod needs to be restore and I get a error message saying :ipod software update server coud not be contacted.

My ipod needs to be restore and I get a error message saying :ipod software update server coud not be contacted.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then tap Settings > General > Software Update
No data is lost due to a reset.

My ipod is asking to restore and i dont want to restore and its not opening?

You will have to restore. Something happened to your iPod and a restore is required.

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.

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.

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

Can an older IPod (click wheel) be used with a wireless/bluetooth speaker? If so, how?

Can an older IPod (click wheel) be used with a wireless/bluetooth speaker? If so, how?

There is no doubt you can.
When you say photos stored on it.. in what form are these photos?? Is this your iphoto library?
If so using iphoto library on the TC has risks.. not necessarily viewing photos .. that should be fine. But if you have photos you are editing and wireless comms drop out leaving the library with a file open, it is likely to corrupt your library. Please check with the iphoto people on the discussion board if you want to go ahead for the dangers of using iphoto on any network drive.
The TC is not designed as a NAS .. in particular it cannot back itself up, nor can Time Machine backup the TC. So any files on the TC are at risk. If you manage to corrupt the iphoto library without a current backup... does that worry you??

Trouble syncing iPod (Click Wheel)

I have a iPod click wheel and I tried to sync my iPod one day and I received the following message, "iPod cannot be syncd as required folder could not be found". Message does not specify what folder. I have reset the Ipod, tried restore. I called iPod support but because my warranty is out they will not help me. Sometimes I can get it to work but it only syncs the first 200 songs. I am lost without my iPod so any information would be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Make sure iTunes is up-to-date: See here
Then try restoring your iPod.
This will delete all music on your iPod. The music on your computer will not be affected. See if you can re-sync the music onto the iPod.

IPod Click Wheel problem

I've had my iPod nano 3rd generation for over a year now and it's worked flawlessly ever since I got it. Unfortunately about a month ago, the click wheel stopped working. It would not scroll and I could not hit any of the buttons (including the center button). The strange thing is that I can actually still reset it. When I put it on hold and take it back off the backlight lights up and I can see the iPod working fine otherwise.
I plugged the iPod into a computer at my campus apple store and restored it. After this, the click wheel was fixed and worked perfectly. I went back to my dorm and left it there until I came back later that evening after classes to try and use it and found that the click wheel had once again stopped working. I only hope this isn't a drastic hardware problem because I can't afford another mp3 player or any repairs on my college budget. If anyone can offer some help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Not much. You can buy and replace the click wheel.

Freezing iPod Click Wheel

I was using my iPod Click Wheel 20G almost a year with absolutely no problems. I was satisfied. Like a month ago I downloaded latest update from apple web. Since then my iPod freezes very often. It hasn't played continously more then 30 songs (sometimes much less). At the end of the song it just stops playing and all I can do is to reset it. I tried to restore it to the factory settings, use the software which was on included CD, use downloaded update ... but nothing works. Can anyone help?? Thanks.

For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“Partition Magic”.

4 Questions RE: iPod Click Wheel 40 GB (HP-Refurb)

Hello All-
I just connected my 40 GB iPod Click Wheel (HP Refurb.) and am a newbie to the world of ipod. I am using iTunes 4.6 & Mac OS 10.3.5. (I haven't upgraded to iTunes 6 on purpose because I thought this older version would be better suited to my older iPod...)
My first reaction to the sound was not great -the sound in general was flat (not full range) and the volume was too low.
To test the sound, I imported the same song into the ipod in 3 formats: AIFF, Apple Lossless & MP3 (160 kbps). To my surprise, the AIFF sounded the worst! (it had low volume and a reduced frequency range (it sounded and very flat) Why, I have no idea-
That said, I have 4 questions for the forum:
1) Is there anyway to boost the volume on my ipod? (it is not the European model, it is an HP Refurb.)
2) Is there anyway the ipod can use the EQ settings assigned to a particular song in iTunes?
3) Is there anyway the ipod can use volume settings assigned to a particular song in iTunes?
4) Is there anyway to import my custom EQ settings (for a particular song or in general) into the ipod EQ menu?
In general, I want to improve the quality of the sound-
And specifically, I would like to be able to boost the volume and have more control over the EQ .
(iTunes has a fairly decent EQ, my fingers are crossed that there may some way to use some of those features in the ipod, --iTunes is so seamlessly integrated with iTunes in all other respects...)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance-

1) Is there anyway to boost the volume on my ipod?
(it is not the European model, it is an HP Refurb.)
You have tried turning the volume up, right? ALso, make sure sound check is not enabled. (Settings-->sound check-->off)
2) Is there anyway the ipod can use the EQ settings
assigned to a particular song in iTunes?
Yes. You need to have any EQ enabled on your iPod (settings-->EQ-->pick one). When you play a song, the iPod will use the EQ you set in iTunes instead of the one set on the iPod. If the EQ is set to off on the iPod, no EQ will be used.
3) Is there anyway the ipod can use volume settings
assigned to a particular song in iTunes?
It should be. Are you noticing any difference between songs with higher volumes set?
4) Is there anyway to import my custom EQ settings
(for a particular song or in general) into the ipod
EQ menu?
No. I would...

I would also update iTunes and make sure the iPod's software is up to date...

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)

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.

Please Help! - iPod Click Wheel 20GB

I just finished charging my iPod. After unpluging the firewire cable from the charger, I attempted to turn on the iPod. The Apple symbol comes up, but can not see the main menu of the iPod to play music. Now the iPod keeps restarting just showing the Apple symbol and will not stop. I have attempted to reset the iPod and it has not worked and the iPod is not in Hold mode. The iPod case is somewhat hot too!
I am just going to allow the iPod to keep restarting until the battery needs another charging.
Please assist me in what I can do. I do not want to take it to the Apple store for repairs!
