Ipod mini clickwheel

Hello,
I broke the ribbon cable of my ipod mini (4 GB, 1st model). Does anyone know where I can get a new clickwheel, or does anyone have an ipod mini that is broken but with a working clickwheel? Any help would be most welcome

Have you tried resetting and/or restoring your iPod?

IPod mini clickwheel, which generation if silver

Hi, I'm trying to figure out which generation a few clickwheels are that I'm working on refirbing iPod minis with. I know the colored wheels are generation 2 but if they are silver they could be either generation...Anyway to tell from the molex ribbon cable or the ciruit board...a definite answer would really help us out in testing and rebuilding...thanks,rick

thanks, but I'm aware of that...I have a number of click wheels that are not in case...trying to find another way to know what generation they are from as i do not believe the click wheels are interchangable...so still seeking for answer...I notice the circuit boards may be a bit different...I had thought the plug at the end, white vs black, but don't think that is consistent...someone must know this:)

IPod mini clickwheel freeze

I know that sometimes the clickwheel freezes when you bring your ipod out of sleep but that's not my problem. Recently the volume on my mini won't change. I run my finger accross the clickwheel and nothing happens. But if I hit select and got to the rewind/fast forward or ratings screen it will work. In order to get the volume to change I have to pause my mini htne unpause and I can change the volume once. After that I have to pause and unpause again.

Apple ipod mini

I bought my ipod mini in june, and by mid july, the click wheel all of a sudden was at an angle, i mean the wheel itself was slanting to the left, towards the back track button. I never put much, or any force on my ipod mini click wheel, especially since it was my pride and joy, and so new at the time...anyone know why this happens, or how, or has it happened to anyone else other than me?...
Thank you. ******* more below:-->

This is a repost of my same message, what i want to know now is that, if i return my ipod mini like some of you have suggested, will i be getting my personalized ipod mini, back or will i get a nano,?.. i want to still have my mimi:) thank you.

You will get the same model and capacity back as you sent in. You can opt to have the original engraving, or to not have any engraving.
I believe that the ClickWheel is attached to the case using double-sided sticky tape. Evidently, it has come loose.

Ipod mini keeps turning itself back on whenever I turn it off.

My ipod mini turns itself on whenever I turn it off. It's still under guarantee but if I get new one will I be able to download the music from itunes or will I need to start again?

Are you putting the iPod on Hold using the slider whenever you turn it off? The clickwheel is quite sensitive and a touch will bring it back on. If you were to get another one, as long as all your songs are in iTunes you would just have to connect it to your computer and it would pretty much walk you through the installatation and automatically update.

Ipod Mini Locks Up When Using It With A JVC KS-PD100

Since I've updated my iPod mini to the latest version of the firmware it locks up when I use it with my "Made For iPod" JVC KS-PD100 adaptor.
This allows me to connect my ipod to my JVC car head unit and control it via the head unit.
It worked perfectly when I had the old firmware on the iPod, but now I have updated it to the latest version (after a warranty repair) I get the JVC logo appear on the screen and it all works fine with the head unit, but when I disconnect the iPod, the controls are still locked up. I then have to force a re-boot of the ipod to be able to use it again.
I've tried to download an older version of the ipod updater, but all the links I try give me the latest version of the updater when I come to install it.
My questions are
1. Has anybody else had this problem?
2. Are apple aware of it?
3. I'm guessing it's a software problem, or have I geen given a duff rarranty replacement?
4. Where can I get a copy of the older ipod updater - preferrably the october version?
Any help would be most appreciated as I've e-mailed apple and had no reply at all!
Thanks
Ross

I've tried that already - but then the iPod is connected to the sterio, the iPod controls are disabled so I can't switch it off at all.
If I disconnect the iPod before turning the sterio off, the ipod stays playing until I reboot it
It worked perfectly on my old ipod with the old firmware, if I turned off the sterio, the JVC logo woulds disappear, the ipod would be paused and use of the clickwheel controls would be returned automatically.
I'm guessing it's a bug in the latest iPod firmware

Ipod & Ipod Mini on the same comp

I have a 4th gen ipod clickwheel & my girlfriend has just bought an Ipod mini.
How can we use them on the same computer, without messing up my ipod & it's current library.
Please help.

When you connect the mini you will name it so each time you connect a different pod you can select it by name on screen hope that helps

Clean My iPod Mini

Darn!!!
I am trying to find a sleeve for my iPod Mini, consequently, I found a sleeve that fitted my iPod Mini perfectly. However, when I took it out from the sleeve, my clickwheel is all brownish! Ah, the sleeve is dirty, but not visible.
My question is, are there any cleaning methods to clean the clickwheel without damaging it; I tried alcohol.
Note: I am thinking to buy a GoofOff Cleaner.
Thanks.

when cleaning your ipod mini go here and then go to the support section at the apple website.
then go to manuals. then ipod mini. then scroll down to the cleaning section. it will tell u exactly what to do.

IPod mini always turns on and off when plug in iCarPlay Wireless 200

My iPod mini always turns on and off when plug in iCarPlay Wireless 200. Does someone has the same Problem?

I just bought my ICARPLAY Wireless 200-ZML. I have an iPod with clickwheel (20Gb).
When I conncect the ipod to the wireless transmitter the checkmark sign appears, as described in the manual. After that, instead of returning to the ipod menu, the checkmark disappears and turns up again. This keeps on repeating itself. No menu, no sound. Pressing 'S' on the transmitter has no effect.
Is this what you mean? Anyone also seen this? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
regards, Rob

Can i have an ipod mini and an ipod nano on same account

My daughter got an ipod mini 2 christmas's ago and so we have an itunes account. This christmas my son got an ipod nano because they had discontinued the minis. My son likes a lot of the songs that my daughter had on her ipod and i really dont want to use all that money just to rebuy songs. I was wondering if there was any way that I could use one account and they both have the same songs on their ipods.

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. One way is is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. You could create one playlist for the Mini and one for the Nano. Each playlist can have whatever songs you like in it drawn from the single library. Have a look at the article linked below: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

IPod Mini not recognized by iTues or Computer since last time I connected.

I am creating this as a new post to get some data not a fix. If you find an answer start a new post.
Around Thanksgiving my iPod Mini that worked for over a year is no longer recognized by iTunes (Actually it shows as a bad file folder then dissapears in Windows Explorer).
I did everything the trouble shooting instructions suggest at least 5 times, except I can't restore because the computer does not recognize the iPod.
I was about to give up on iPods when... in a meeting at work I learned 3 out of 5 iPod users said the same thing happen since Thanksgiving and the others don’t think they have sync'ed yet.

IPod Mini No Longer Recognized by G5 10.2.8?

I connected an iPod Mini to a new iMac with 10.4.4 to charge it and now the Mini is not recognized by a G5 with 10.2.8. I read that 10.2.8 does not support USB 2.0. For some reason, the iPod was updated to USB 2.0 and the driver is not downward compatible. So, I puchased a firewire-dock cable. The iPod Mini is still not recognized. Apple's support suggests the 5 Rs:

I can't try the last one, Restore, because the Mini is not recognized. How can you Restore if the iPod Mini is not in the iTunes Source List?
Power Mac G5 1.8 GHz Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Never mind. I used the iPod Updater 2006-06-28 to restore and everything's fine.
