  • My ipod nano's click wheel randomly moves!

    Since I updated my ipod nano last night, after about a minute of it being turned on, the click wheel starts not to respond to my actions and randomly moves, this problem occurs on many menu's such as volume, selecting songs to listen to, games, and many more. I have tried resetting it, getting rid of the songs i added to it last night, recharging the battery, but with no luck. Please help; as I’m worried it could be a virus!

    Is the Hold button on or off?
    Since resetting was a temporary fix, go to the Apple store. The staff there will let you know if you need a replacement or not as the iPod Nano is still under warranty.

  • My ipod nano's clicker wheel's play button is not workin

    Please Help. I have no idea what happened to it. There has not been any damage.

    I had the same issue with my iPod nano 4th generation. Tried all of the suggested fixes but nothing worked. After months of trying read and figure out what was wrong I stumbled across a possible fix.
    This is partly a theory, but probably true in a lot of cases. I use my iPod nano a lot in a speaker dock. I  think over time using the speaker dock caused some kind of connection to become loose. I got the idea from someone else that when you connect the docking cable, as if you were going to sync your iPod and wiggle the cable at the connection back and forth until locating a place that allows the click wheel to work again. Start gently and push a little harder toward the front or toward the back. If this works then here is what I did to solve the problem.
    Take a small flat head screw driver and gently pry the white cover away from the bottom of the iPod near the sync port and headphone jack. It is held in place by a type of rubber glue. I have a computer pry tool. I gently put insert the tool between the back case of the iPod and the where the sync cable attaches and pry it slightly enough to fit something in the space. I cut off a small piece of a paper clip (1/8'' or less). Needs to be small enough to fit and still apply enough pressure to allow the click wheel to work. After inserting I tested it to make sure it worked and sure enough it did. I carefully put a small amount of school stick glue on the white plate and put it back in place.
    Hope this works!

  • Ipod Nano's Click Wheel Unresponsive.

    After charging my Nano, I unplugged it and the click-wheel was not working. None of the buttons work either (including the center one). I tried to reset it, the center and menu buttons worked for this. After the reset, the wheel stopped working again.
    Any ideas?

    Is the Hold button on or off?

  • 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.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    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.

  • 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

  • USB 2.0- Nano recognised as a iPod 20/40GB Click wheel model

    Whenever I connect my iPod Nano into my ALi M5273 USB 2.0 PCI card, iTunes recognises my Nano as an old iPod (iPod 20/40GB Click Wheel model, with the black/white screen). The ipod icon under 'Sources' that appears on the left of iTunes appears as this model instead of a black ipod nano icon.
    Sometimes the usb 2.0 card fails to connect altogether. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Or should i just buy a new USB 2.0 card?
    Specs:
    Windows XP Professional SP2
    ALi M5273 USB 2.0 PCI Card
    iPod Nano

    Strange... i've tried both versions. Version 4.9 that came on the disc and version 5.0. But both versions of itunes still seem to have the same problem- with USB 2.0.
    Is it strange for my USB 2.0 card to have 4 USB controllers?: 1x'Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller', and 4x'ALi PCI to USB Open Host Controller'? All in all, it's added 4 USB Root Hubs, one with 6 usb ports, and 3 all with 2 usb ports each. Is that correct? (My ALi USB 2.0 card only has 5 usb ports but my pc has added 12).
    P.s: There is another USB host controller which is not accounted for, as this is used to control the USB 1.1 ports on my motherboard. The controllers and USB Hubs listed have all been added by my ALi USB 2.0 PCI Card.

  • Hardware problem Ipod Nano 2gb

    Recently I've bought Ipod Nano 2gb in the US. Now I'm installing it. When i connect the ipod at the pc, i-tunes recognize it. When I disconnect the ipod, the ipod doesn't react. It shows the screen for choosing the language but none of the buttons react to change something. The hold button is off.
    I've already reset the ipod, without results. The Ipod shows that there are songs on it, and you can play the songs that are downloaded on it.
    The PC recognizes the ipod as a medium.
    Does anyone has a resolution to this problem ?

    Just to make sure...when you say turn...you don't mean physically turn do you? Even though you stated the hold button is off, toggle the button a few times to see if that helps. If you have tried going through all of the 5 R's and the click wheel still will not allow you to make any movement through screens, then you may want to contact Apple for a warranty replacement. Few more questions...does the back light turn on when you touch the click wheel? Do you hear any clicks when you run your finger around the click wheel? I know you said that doing this doesn't allow you to navigate through the screens but I'm curious if it reacts in any way.

  • My iPod photo's click wheel doesn't work.

    My iPod photo's click wheel doesn't work? I can click it but cannot scroll with it...
    Any suggestions?

    That is a hardware issue.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  If you want to DIY - iPod Repair Tutorials

  • Ipod nano 2GB only allowing 44 songs then full

    I am trying to import songs from my CD collection and I only have 44 songs on my nano and it says the memory is full. Can someone please help me? There is nothing else on the ipod except songs, no contacts, no photos, nothing else. Please help!!!
    hp   Windows XP  

    As it happans I am a wizz on the keboard and can help.
    when apple say the iPod nano 2GB can fit what 500 songs?, they estimate this at ACC encoding 128 kbps, at 4 MB per song.
    If you have imported your music from CD then it is probally in the uncommpressed format of AIFF, which takes up 20 time more space!!!
    iTunes can convert the songs for you, you go to edit>preferences>advanced> here you can choose where you want your music to go after conversion now from here go to importing and , I would suggest using
    ACC format at 128 kbps (High Quality)
    now back in your library go to edit>select all ( select 1 of the songs first or this will not work) and then click advanced>convert selection to ACC now just let it chew through all of that (it might be an overnight job depending on the number of songs you have being converted).
    Now you should delete your ebtire library of the big AIFF files and under file add new folder, and add the folder that you converted your music too (by default this will be C:/documents and setting/my documents/my music
    then all of your new compressed songs will come on your library at the same quality as they were but 1/20th the size!!.

  • How to get my photos from my Ipod nano 2gb (colourscreen) to my TV

    I've got an iPod(2Gb) with colour display. And I've got the AV connection Kit. The music is no problem, but I just can't seem to find a way to show my photo's on the tv.
    I read somewhere on this forum that I should click on "TV on" in the slideshow menu. But there is NO "TV On" in this feature. Under "transitions" there is nothing! I read that there sould be the TV On option!???
    CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!
    At the Apple store they said that it should be possible to connect the iPod nano 2Gb to the TV!

    Astrid31,
    Unfortunately for you, the iPod nano does not support TV output through either the headphone port or through a dock. The only iPods that facilitate TV output are the iPod with color display and the iPod with video (5th generation)

  • I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

    I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

    Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
    (When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
    Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
    You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
    Have a nice day!

  • Why won't iPod 4th Generation Click Wheel 40gb (non-photo)  charge?

    I have an old but much-loved iPod 4th Generation Click Wheel 40gb (non-photo model) that I keep on a charging dock. Yesterday the screen went blank and it refuses to charge, so I assume the battery is dead. 
    Can anyone tell me if that's the reason?  If so, exactly what replacement battery I should get?  I've found replacement batteries listed for the iPod 4th Gen 40 GB photo and the 4th Gen 20 GB, but don't know if they'll fit.  Thanks so much for any information out there!

    hmm - curiouser and curiouser
    I've now managed to get it to manually update (after iTunes took 100% of system resources and I had to force quit it...) but that still doesn't really help me with the auto-sync feature which still won't work
    aaaaaaggggggghhhhh

  • Ipod Nano 2Gb Not Recognized

    Hi.
    Today I bought a Second Generation iPod nano 2gb. I've downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod via USB 2.0. All my usb ports are on and they don't turn off. When I plug in the iPod, it charges, but does not show up in iTunes or under My Computer. When I plug it in, my computer prompts me to the New Hardware Installing Wizard. It is always of no help to me so I just cancel it. Under my computer, the Ipod does not show. It also does not show in iTunes. I have done the 4 R's 3 times now. I am sure I've searched everything to make my iPod work. I've looked at all the help topics on this page and I've done everything advised and it still does not show up. PLEASE HELP!
