4G iPods dead click wheel help

yesterday I was wiping down my ipod with isopropyl alchohol, usually that's what i use, but i think i used a bit more than usual on the napkin. later on went to use the pod, and the clickwheel wasn't letting me scroll. it only allowed me to select (FWD/RWD/SELECT/MENU/PLAY).
i thought maybe some alchohol got in there so I let it sit for a day maybe to dry up good, but it's still not working.
is my click wheel shot or can i fix this ?

Had the same problem. Tried everything. Took it to an apple store and one of their "genius"'s gave me a card for ipodmods.com. For 60 bucks and shipping, they're putting in a new click wheel. Free diagnostic also.
Good luck

IPod with clicking wheel help needed

I went to turn on my iPod today and when i turned it on the Apple came up on the screen, but when it should have gone to the menu screen, the screen just shuts off. My ipod has a full charge and i use it almost everyday. Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone help me?

Anyone heard of this problem?

I have a 4th generation ipod classic (click wheel) and it's giving me a sad ipod error as well as not mounting in itunes... I hear a clicking inside when it is connected to power but nothing is working. Help!

You won't believe this but a friend of mine (who happens to be an Apple Genius) told me to put a towel or cloth on a sturdy countertop (I know this may sound weird) but hold the selct button (in the center) and menu part of the wheel at the same time until an Apple logo comes up on the screen and then quickly turn the ipod on it's side and wack it on the counter where the towel is so as not to damage anything cosmetically. It seems the clicking is the hard drive reader is stuck and this dislodges it. Mine works now (no clicking) and all seems to be well again. Who knew?

Help! Compilations in ipod with clicking wheel

Hi There,
Although i marked a lot of my songs as part of compilations (and i can see them this way on Itunes), they don't appear as compilations on my ipod w/clicking wheel.
Is it possible that the clicking wheel ipod does not support this feature? Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thank You

Cannot sync iPod with click wheel to iTunes...

I cannot sync my iPod with click wheel to my iTunes on Windows. I have already attempted the five R's, multiple times, including restoring my iPod three times, and updating my iTunes software. But when I plug my iPod in, it takes forever to be recognized by iTunes, and just sits there, whizzing and clicking, with the "Do Not Disconnect" message blinking. After awhile, iTunes will download a song or two from my library, then quit. I often get a message that says my iPod is "corrupted." Help! How can I get my iTunes library back on to my iPod?

I am having similar issues. I have received lots of advice, none of which work so far but there is lots to try here. Good luck!

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.

I updated my 20G iPod with click wheel and now it wont turn on all the way

Ok so I updated my 20G iPod with click wheel with the latest version (three point something), and now when i try to turn it on, it shows the apple logo and then has a pic of an ipod being plugged into a power adapter being plugged into a wall socket. i have reset it about 40 times and it always does the same thing. i have tried to charge the ipod with my computer but it does absolutely nothing (i dont have a power adapter). Also, when i reset my ipod WHEN IT IS PLUGGED INTO THE COMPUTER, it shows the "Very low battery" picture.Also, my computer does not see the iPod in "my computer" or iTunes. I have another iPod, which works perfectly on my computer. I thank anyone who tries to help me.

You must have a charge of your iPod with an ac charger, in order to complete the Restore process.
You can also charge your iPod with
1. iPod car charger
2. iPod speaker dock system e.g. iPod HiFi or Bose soundstage

Ipod mini click wheel works only when charging

my ipod mini click wheel will only work 100% when it is charging and is recognized by itunes. if a computer does not have itunes it will not work properly and also when it is not charging and i am just using it normally it wont work either. when it is not working right this is what it does: only the forward and play/pause and select work on the click wheel. cant adjust volume or go back to menu. but when charging and in itunes that click wheel works perfect!?!
can anyone help me figure this one out?
Also, the battery is really weak, it will only run for about 1hr on full charge. i dont know if that will affect it but if it does please let me know.
Thanks

Mine does the same, I can get it to work by taking off the bottom plastic part of the Ipod Mini and pulling the metal thing out a bit.

IPod with click wheel - will not restore

Hi all,
I know I've got the dinosaur of the iPods, but hey. I have a 20g iPod with click wheel. Every time I load up iTunes with the iPod plugged into the PC, iTunes tells me that my iPod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. (Not sure how that happened, but anyway.) So, I tell it to restore, then plug it into the external power supply as it tells me to do. However, when it is finished restoring, and I plug it back into the PC to reload the songs from iTunes, the cycle starts again. I have restarted my computer, done soft resets of my iPod, but it still won't update. Any help would be appreciated. Though the newer iPods are very pretty, I am quite happy with my old dinosaur, haha.

After a lot of searching and working on this, I found the problem - and it wasn't my previously theorized conspiracy to get us all to buy more from Apple.... It was quite simple actually.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508 I followed all of these directions including re-installing the dlls and the usb drivers, but I think the key was that I have multiple USB devices plugged into my computer. I unplugged all but my wireless keyboard. Then I used a different USB port for my iPod than I had tried before. It updated..... Yeah. I don't have to buy one of the new over priced fancy models!!!!

IPod 20GB Click Wheel Stops Playing Music

All,
All of a sudden, my iPod 20GB Click Wheel just stops playing music in the middle of songs. I have to hit the play button and restart it. It's pausing the song. It does this periodically/randomly. Does anyone have any suggestions? Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
TC

The folder with an exclamation point is often a software issue on the iPod. The best troubleshooting step for this error is to restore the iPod.

If it still is not working after the restore, you'll probably need to set up a dispatch at the following website.

Apple iPod Dock (Click Wheel models)

I have a 3rd Gen iPod (15GB). is it compatabille with the Apple iPod Dock (Click Wheel models) as in the description denotes only 20GB & 60GB.?

If you're going to buy a dock, then just buy the correct dock for your iPod. Like I said, they're all the same price.
iPod color Dock: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72504/wo/wy5uBwj uMyGn3gtokq747yKQjGz/1.SLID?mco=55F2F0EC&nplm=M9868G%2FA
Mini Dock: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72504/wo/wy5uBwj uMyGn3gtokq747yKQjGz/1.SLID?mco=4F1F1A11&nplm=M9467G%2FA
3G/4G Dock (it comes with different covers to fit different sized iPods, but the dock is exactly the same): http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72504/wo/wy5uBwj uMyGn3gtokq747yKQjGz/4.SLID?mco=5231F86E&nplm=M9602G%2FA
Each one is $39.
Any of them would work if the iPod physically fits into it. The connector is exactly the same, it's the top piece that is different.
But by all means, if you need reassurance, email Apple on the store there. http://store.apple.com. They'll tell you exactly what you need to get. Include your iPod's serial number, it'll help them double check and make sure.
Or call 'em up. 1-800-MY-APPLE.

IPod with click wheel

My mom has an iPod with click wheel (an older version) and it turns on fine and the computer will acknowledge it when it is plugged in, but the click wheel/keypad doesn't work. When she presses any buttons it doesn't do anything. Like I said it turns on but from there you can't get off of the menu and listen to music or anything because the keypad doesn't work. Please help me with this one, I would really like some alternative from sending it to an apple store. Thanks!

An archive and install won't affect any software on your computer. I assume you've seen all these?
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.

Ipod with click wheel. Windows displays device not recognized problem.

I'm using a ipod with click wheel, and hooking it up through a usb 2.0 port with the stock cable.
I keep getting a device not recognized message from windows, and the itunes software 8.xxxx does not recognize it even in diagnostics tests. Everything else is pass, except the ipod recognition.
The battery needs to be charged, and is depleted but its not recieving a charge when plugged into the computer.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

If the iPod is not getting a charge through the cable (and the battery is depleted), it may not be recognized because the iPod has no power to do anything.
I would say the problem is either a faulty dock connector on the iPod, a faulty cable, or a faulty USB port on the computer. You have probably tested the USB port possibility already by trying a different port (or trying another USB device on the same port), so I would try a different USB docking cable as the next test.

Where can i buy a new charger for my ipod with click wheel,the old had burnt.tnk.i need it urgent.

By "charger," do you mean a USB power adapter that plugs into the wall outlet (used to "charge" the iPod), or are you asking about the USB docking cable that connect the iPod to the computer?
