Ipod Video 80gb with click wheel has sound, but no audio

My ipod video 80gb with click wheel has sound, but no audio. I can hear the clicking of the wheel and selections made through the headphones, but I cannot get music, video, etc. to play audio. I did the 5 R's and installed a new headphone jack prior to posting here. I am all out of ideas and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you connect it to an iPod Dock Stereo to check if there is music, coming out, if not the Hard Reset would solve your problem or else the Audio chip has called it a day.
I know you mentioned doing the 5Rs, but did you see the Apple Logo and the language prompt? Sorry, most of the users here, doesn't do the Hard Reset correctly.
Try the iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then release the button
Select your preferred language.
This wont delete or erase any song/data on your iPod Classic.
See this Apple Support Article on 5Rs

Good Luck!

New user for ipod 4th gen with click wheel

I hope i'm posting this in the right place. My daughter purchased an ipod 4th generation with click wheel offebay, didn't come with software. So I downloaded I tunes off the net. was told the driver for ipod was included in Itunes? I'm computer illeterate, I appologize for this. I'm not sure, but I think I have 2.0 ports on my laptop, it's about l l/2 years old. windows xp I plugged the ipod into my computer after downloading itunes, and the computer doesn't recognize the ipod, a box comes up and says this.
" one of usb drivers attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows doens't recognize it.
I tunes does come up but there is no ipod recognized on itunes it's suppose to come up under devices on the left side of itunes, but nothing comes up. I can import music to my laptop using itunes, cannot put the music onto my ipod.
I'm completely at a loss here, and really don't know what to do.
The serialnumber on my ipod is 2CD44617K8 which I got off the back of the ipod.
I also typed this number in the apple web site and it doesn't recognize the number either.
I have contacted the ebayer this was bought from and he hasn't returned any emails and doesn't act like he wants to help in any kind of way. I'd like to make sure it's opperator error and not something wrong with the ipod.
thanks in advance

This is the wrong forum for your question, this area is for people with the latest iPod nano.
You need to post in the correct forum and you will probably get more help.
Are you sure you have bought a 'real' iPod, could it be a fake?
Does the eBay seller have good positive feedback, it could be that the iPod is actually broken. Does the iPod turn on, can you use the menus, etc. You should be able to operate the iPod without any music.

Ipod with click wheel Bad Sound

When i sync the music onto my ipod from my PC all goes good but when i go to listen to the songs on my ipod i hear constant clicking during the songs like im using the click wheel. Any suggestions?

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.

IPod Video 80GB shows "Low Battery, Please Wait" but when plugged into wall, works fine.

I have an iPod Video 80GB and it worked perfectly fine until now....when it is plugged into my computer (all ports attempted), it shows "Low Battery, Please Wait" and then when I plug it into the wall, it reboots, shows the normal silver apple, and everything is all fine. The iPod is dependent off of a power source, as it cannot function right now without one.

That's usually a good indication that the iPod's battery is shot an in need of a replacement especially considering it's from an iPod Video, which have been out for a number of years now. You can pay Apple to have it replaced or you can send it in to a third party repair center for a bit less.

Will the accessories for iPod with click wheel 20G work with the new gen?

Hi,
I have a iPod with click wheel 20GB and am considering to get a new one, iPod with video 40GB or 80GB. Can I still use the following iPod accessories for 20GB one?
- dock
- USB power adapter
Thanks.

I know a iPod comes with a usb cord but I would like to use the USB power adapter I have so I can charge iPod during travel with computer/laptop.
It seems to me that the connector in USB power adapter is a regular USB type B connector. But, I could not find the information to confirm it is a regular USB type B. Even it is the regular USB type B connector it does not work with the a usb cord shipped with iPod, which is a USB type A connector. That's the reason I would like to know if I can use it with new generation of iPod.
Or, I can just get a USB connector converter. But, not sure if it can supply the enough power to ...
B.t.w., the model number of the power adapter is A1070.

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.

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 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!

"which i don't want to do because i only got my new iMac this week and have just finished installing heaps of software."
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 appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.

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!

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?

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 with click wheel stuck

I have a iPod with click wheel 30gb. The screen froze on the apple logo. I can reset it, and the screen would go blank for one second. Then, it'd go back to the frozen. HELP

UPDATE: It finally decided to start working again, but it's been rather wonky for quite some time now. I'm not at all happy, especially considering I can't afford a new one.
