Ipod mini touch-wheel stopped responding

First the menu and scroll stopped responding, then everything. Nothing happens when I try to reset ipod by holding menu and select. (no apple icon appears).
Does anyone know what I can do? I don't really want to delete everything if I can help it...would this even work if the wheel is broken somehow? Will anything work?
(unless anyone knows how to transfer my music BACK to itunes - I don't have any music saved on my computer, I deleted it for space)
THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE!

Mine is "locked" and therefore none of my buttons work either. Since it is locked in a nonplay mode, it won't even play but the screen appears fine.
My message replies are under "ipod mini locked".

  • Ipod mini click wheel

    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.

  • 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 touch wheel 10GB problem with downloaded audiobooks

    Hi,
    I might have better luck getting my question answered in this forum. I downloaded some audiobooks from iTunes onto my iMac with no problem. The problem arose when I updated my 10GB iPod with touch wheel (yes, a Jurassic age model from an era when NO ONE knew what an iPod was). Of the five audiobooks I downloaded and subsequently transferred to my iPod, I could only get my iPod to open and play two of them. The other audiobook files would simply be skipped over as if they weren't even there.
    I've reset my iPod twice to try and fix this problem.
    Does anybody have any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Arnel

    I have the same model iPod and downloaded and audiobook from iTunes for the first time a couple nights ago and have a similar problem. The book is in three parts. They all play fine on my iBook but my iPod skips the first two parts and will only play the third.
    When I select part one on my iPod the screen displays the correct length of the segment, then skips to part two and shows the correct length, then finally skips to part three and plays it just fine.
    If I only load part one and part two, the iPod goes through the same process but reverts back to the main menu screen without playing anything.
    I had an idea a short while ago I am going to try when I get home. I did a get info on one of the audiobook files and it says it is the same file format as songs from the iTunes store. However, the extension is different. Protected song files are 'name.m4a' (I think, maybe .m4b) and the audiobook files are 'name.m4p.' I think those are the extensions, for some reason I'm having a brain **** right now. Anyway, I'm going to try changing the audiobook extension to match song file extensions and see if that works.
    My thought is that the different extension for the audiobooks is how iTunes knows to put the files in the 'Audiobooks' list in iTunes instead of 'Music' or 'Podcasts' etc.
    I'll post again after I give it a try.

  • IPOD mini click wheel not  functioning

    My IPOD mini click wheel is not working. When I attach to my PC, Itunes recognizes it, is able to read the hard drive/play music off the IPOD. I have tried to restore it, the drive is erased, but the click wheel still does not work. I am unable to reset the Mini using the click wheel. Itunes says my software is the most recent.
    thanks

  • Touch Wheel stopped working.

    I have a nano. My touch wheel stopped working. I can't scroll with it and I can't click with it either. The nano turns on and it does charge, but the wheel won't let me do anything. Anyone else ever experience this?

    This didn't work. I tried it. I actually have already tried the 5 r's. I should have prefaced that the nano is 1 year old almost to the day. The touch wheel still doesn't work and I'm wondering if there is a loose wire. Do you know how much it costs to get the touch wheel fixed by any chance?

  • My ipod touch 3 rd generation touch screen stop responding

    I have a 3rd generation ipod touch. Suddenly after falling, the touch screen stop working. There is no damage to the screen nor the back or any part of the ipod but it never worked again as touch sensiivity. I reset the system, did the push to reset and when get the red slide bar to shut down its not responding because the screen does not work when touched.

    When restoring to factory settings/new iPod fails to resolve a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • X1 Carbon Touch Gen2 (20A7005UMN) - touch screen stopped responding

    Hi,
    I have the Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch, new as of april 2014, and since last week, the touch screen has stopped responding to touch inputs. Before this it has been working and behaving perfectly.
    I have tried to turn the laptop entirely off and on, reboots... No effect. The screen simply acts like it never was touch.
    The HID driver is present and claims to be working. I tried to reinstall it and it does so with no errors or warnings. I also tried to reinstall the monitor and graphics card drivers. The Tablet control panel icon offers a calibrate option but Reset is disabled. The calibrate doesn't help because it doesn't respond to touch.
    System says it has touch with 10 finger inputs.
    Windows 8.1 Update 1, Enterprise SKU
    Any advice is welcome.
    UPDATE! Touch works when I lay the screen out flat. But if I return it to any angle, it stops working. Is this related to LayFlat mode or is there a connection fault in the display for touch input so only when I lay it flat it has contact?
    Software or hardware?

    I have kept checking on statements from Lenovo about the Thinkpad X1 Carbon for 7 months now, and I have not seen any indication of plans to change the keyboard. I have heard numerous complaints first hand about the keyboard, and the tens of reviews that I have read from around the world the last half year, there is doubt to outright irritation about the 2014 X1 Carbons keyboard and touchpad (the further specs of the 2014 X1 Carbon are of Rolls Royce impression, but because of the ruined keyboard and erroneous touchpad, we have decided not to consider the X1 Carbon further.
    Observations:
    Professionals want a large number of direct, true and tactile keys in traditional locations for efficient work. Lenovo has moved away from this fact by taking away keys, creating a touch strip while there is a touch screen already on it, and by changing the position of essential keys or removing them completely to be replaced by non-intuitive key combinations. The Red Dot award was truely earned for the weight and looks of the screen and case, but the keyboard is the weak link that makes the chain weak. Lenovo, Lenovo, Lenovo, what have you done?

  • 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.

  • Defective ipod mini click wheel

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod Mini that I purchased in July. Its been fine untill christmas morning when the click wheel became stuck! The lower left side part of the click wheel (the rewind and part of the play feature) doesnt budge. I had experienced a defect with the click wheel when I had my first ipod (a 1st generation ipod mini) and the upper part of the click wheel one day got stuck, but when I pressed on the bottom part it was able to loosen the top and it was fixed. However this is not the case with this one, i cant press it at all. Im still under warrantee. Any suggestions?

    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 Mini freezes and stops working?

    This happened to my friend, too, but she was able to return hers to the store. I've had my iPod Mini since July.
    I was listening to my music as usual, and then it just stopped. The screen stayed on and the "Play" triangle stayed there, but the screen froze 1:11 into my song, and the clock at the top froze too. The screen finally went blank when the battery died. I plugged it into my computer and the battery charging icon showed up but it was frozen. I unplugged it and the Apple logo came on and stayed until the battery died.
    I used my plug charger, plugged it in and tried to "reset" (holding "menu" and "select" at the same time) but nothing happened. Does anyone know how to fix or what's wrong with it? (I was blaming solar flares but there's gotta be a better explanation)
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi
    Before you plug your iPod with the Ac charger, Press "Menu"+"Select" keys until you see the Apple Logo. Then connect it with the AC Charger, press "Select"+"play" keys and it will put your iPod in Disk Mode. Connect it with your PC, and open the iPod updater and do the RESTORE - bear in mind it will erase all your data in your iPod. Once finished, update your iPod with your iTune. Hope it works

  • Ipod Mini Touch Power Button Broke! :(

    Hi, My Ipod touch mini's power button is broken and i am wondering if apple fixes the ipod for free or for money and if you need the warranty still on it to be able to fix it?

    Not really. If it's stuck as in you've pressed it and it won't come out, go to your nearest Apple store and they should be able to fix it.
    Or:
    If you press the button and it doesn't have any effect on the iPod Touch, deffiantly go to Apple as the button may be broken.
