Ipod scroll or click wont respond

Ive got a 4th gen ipod had it for about a year never dropped it once or hit it off anything and just today the scroll wheel and click stopped responding the weird part is i can restart it with the buttons i just cant scroll through and non of the buttons are responsive it wont even light up when i press or scroll ive tried restoring it and it still wont work and its not on hold.

for anyone else with this problem first try pluging the cord in to connect to your computer and push it up tawords the face of the ipod and mess around with the scroll wheel to see if it works while still having it pushed up this seems to fix most problems because after about a year or so of constant scrolling and clicking it seems the wheel and buttons get pushed down and disconnect from the rest of the ipod next you may have to slide something in the slot when not in use with the computer to hold it in place now all i must go re download 3000 songs -_-thanks apple for making a scroll wheel that gives out before the hard disk does...

  • Ipod Touch 5, screen wont respond

    I dropped my Ipod Touch 5, face down. then when i tried to unlock or go to the camera it wouldnt respond. Ive tried turning it off but i cant because i need to slide the bar but my screen wont work. I also tried to restore but theres a passcode so it wont let me restore. I cant go to safe mode because my home button is also broken. Went to apple store as well but they didnt help at all. I NEED HELP!! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!? there are no cracks, so it puzzles me even more!!!
    IPod Touch 5, ios 7.0.6. 

    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:

    Maybe this:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen wont respond to anything - please help

    I was deleting a lot of stuff from my iPod 4th generation and suddenly it froze for a sec so I held down the menu and sleep/wake button to reset it. After I reset it it has been stuck on this black screen since last night. I tried connecting it to iTunes and it wont show that its connected to iTunes. I've tried resetting it again, holding down the sleep/wake button. Nothing is working /: What can I do to get it to work again? Please and thank you

    Yes, I tried that. When I did this, my iPod screen remained black, no Apple Logo or anything. Nor did my iPod come up on iTunes, like usually it shows up on the right hand corner with my iPods name, it didn't show up. What should I do?

  • Ipod completely blank and wont respond to anything. what should i do? whats wrong?

    My iPod fell in water a few months ago and I decided to take it to the authorised dealer in my city, Nairobi. They told me they couldnt fix it. Today, I connected it into my laptop and it said 'Charging, Please Wait...' so i did until the apple logo appeared with the light behind. Later on, it went off and my laptop has really tried to restart it, but it gives me these random errors (a different one each time) I really need it back. Please help!

    I tried that as well but the screen just went blank again. Then randomly, it says connect to power and even so, it still says connect to power. Its barely a year old.

  • Ipod wont respond

    The click wheel on my ipod mini wont respond at all. I cant reset it or do anything using the click wheel. I have tried updating my software and even completly restoring the ipod to no effect. I have no idea what could be wrong with it please help.

    make sure the hold button isn't on, and then hold the centre button and menu button down until you see the apple logo. if that fails, use the hold switch and flick it on and off until the apple logo appears.

  • 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.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have a new 32gb ipod 4 that has a black screen and wont respond to reset.  The screen shows no response to the charger either.  How can I get it to turn on?

    I have a new 32 gb ipod 4 that has a blcak screen.  It wont respond to a hard reset, nor does it acknowledge that it is being charged.  It was not dropped or damaged in any way. We are out of the country.  Help

    First, let's make sure that what you call a "hard reset" is a true system Reset...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
