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.

  • Ipod nano click wheel not responding

    My daughtr's ipod nano click wheel is not responding even after

    Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Ipod 1st generation click wheel not responding - won't reset - apple icon

    My ipod won't reset or show up in itunes when connected.  Apple icon seems to be frozen on screen.  How can I reset it?  Help!

    This is really the 1st gen iPod from 2001, with a non-touch non-click wheel that physically turns, and connects with a FireWire cable?
    Make sure the Hold switch is not in the ON position?
    The older iPods did a reset differently from more recent iPod that have a click wheel.  Be sure you are following the appropriate reset steps in this document, based on the actual iPod model.

    If it's a 1st gen iPod, it would be How to reset iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector).  The buttons to press and hold are different from later iPods.

  • Ipod click wheel not working

    Hello,
    I thought my ipod was coolest gift I could recieve until the click wheel stopped working all of the sudden. That malfunction just about renders it usless. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I have no luck finding a solution with apple. I have reset it, restored it and everything. Can someone help?

    Had same problem today. Read somewhere else to try hairdryer on it for a few minutes then reset. Mines is now working, good luck!

  • My iPod touch is not responding to anything...please help?

    Okay so a week ago I was listening to my ipod touch's app "iheartradio" (ipod touch is 8GB and 2nd generation). The battery was low, and it then died. Later on that night, I went to plug it into my wall charger, and it did not respond. Normally when this happens, I would hold in the home button and the sleep button until the apple logo appeared and then it would charge successfully. When I did this, the apple logo did not appear and it still did not respond (which was weird because it always had before). I then went to plug my ipod into my computer, and itunes or my computer did not recognize it. I have tried hitting it, holding down the home/sleep buttons...I've tried everything I can think of. I have left it charged overnight, and still nothing I am unable to get the apple logo or the shut off option...nothing appears on the screen. I updated to the new version of itunes and once again, nothing I also tried restoring it and nothing is recognized. I currently have my ipod touch plugged into the computer and it does feel pretty warm on the back of the ipod just above where the usb plug goes. I really don;t know what to do. I do not have any warrenty on it since my mom won it from her work a few years ago and then gave it to me. I really wanted to use this during my nursing clinicals since we are allowed to use them for references and I cannot afford another one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • IPod click wheel not recognised in Windows/iTunes and glitchy

    I appear to have an iPod software related problem - no problems connecting my partner's iPod and iTunes is working fine with that one, I have reinstalled iTunes anyway just in case. The problem iPod is not showing any error symbols and I can get it into disk mode but the hard drive is constantly rebooting and playback is glitchy (sticks and skips tracks). I can't see this iPod in iTunes, it is showing in Windows Explorer but freezes the computer if you click on it. Is there any other way I can restore the iPod?

    The most common failure on iPods with hard drives is the hard drive. It is quite possible that your iPod has a faulty hard drive. If so, there is no way to Restore it, because there is a physical problem with the hard drive.
    If you have connected another iPod to YOUR computer using YOUR docking cable, you have eliminated three other possibilities (a bad cable, a bad USB port, and software-related issues).
    The problem may not be the hard drive; it may be a faulty logic board, or the internal connection between the logic board and hard drive. But if you cannot use iTunes to Restore the iPod, and you cannot click on the iPod in a Windows Explorer window to manually reformat it, there not much more you can do, other than opening it up to see if there is something obviously wrong inside.

  • Ipod (click wheel) Not Functioning Right

  • HT1363 My ipod click wheel will not go into disk mode.  All I get is the red circle with the X in it

    The only thing my ipod will do is display the red circle with the X in it.  I can not put it in disk mode, it won't work.  It's the 160 GB classic with the click wheel.  Is there anything else I can do to make it work again?

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode, the Hard Drive is likely damaged and beyond repair. You'll probably want to have it replaced either by Apple or a third party service center.
    Here are Apple's repair prices.

    My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes. iPod seems disabled and not responding to anything. Permanently on "do not disconnect". Not sure what to do.

    Hello,
    My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes or internet
    explorer. It used to, but not anymore. It just
    dosent show up when I connect it to my computer.
    Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on
    my iPod when I connect it. It is still able to
    recharge, though.
    have u tried a different usb port?
    I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of
    songs in my iPod that I do NOT want erased! How can
    I back these songs up? I have some songs on my iPod
    that are from another person's computer, so if they
    get erased, the songs are gone forever.

  • 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 with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

    ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.  Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock.  Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

    Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
    You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you?  If so, that won't work.  The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection.  All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.

    Let the battery fully drain. After charing for at least an hour try a reset and restore.

  • Click wheel stoped responding.

    Thanks to King cole for all his help with my last problem,
    I now have a new one :S
    I did a power drain, and reset the iPod, not the click wheel wont respond to movement, i can get into the menu and play songs, but I cant scroll through them, nor can i scroll down... i've tried to reset, and each time i do, the main menu pops up straight away, and wont let me reset :s
    Any ideas? i've searched back to page six on here, and havent found any answers, nor have i found them through the support.

    I hope i am :s, its the way i've always reset, i'll try again, but each time, the menu just pops up right away (I have just updated the iPod, could that be a reason? as to why its not working).
    Its like opening a flood gate this, one problem, then another...
    Nothing, i did what you said, and infact, think i now have dents in my fingers

  • 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.

    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.
