My click wheel wont work, what should i do?

My click wheel has stopped working. I can switch the hold switch from off to on and the i-pod will react but when i go to use my wheel it doesn't react. I have tried to hold the menu and select button to reset it, but nothing. I have even restored it and yet i still have the same problem. So if you have any idea can you please help me?

How old is your iPod? You might need a replacement if resetting isn't working.

    my ipod touch is on but is not bright enough i try to turn it off but it wont work what should i do?

    Did you make sure that the brightness is turned up to max in Settings/Brightness?
    Is anything covering the brightness sensor?
    Brightness
    Screen brightness affects battery life. Dim the screen to extend the time before you need to recharge iPod touch, or use Auto-Brightness.
    Adjust the screen brightness: Go to Settings > Brightness and drag the slider.
    Set whether iPod touch adjusts screen brightness automatically
    Go to Settings > Brightness and turn Auto-Brightness on or off. If Auto-Brightness is on, iPod touch adjusts the screen brightness for current light conditions using the built-in ambient light sensor.
    page 103, ipod touch user guide 5
    See if you can fix it by resetting the device.
    To reset, hold the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
    If this does not work, set it up as new device:

  • HELPP!!  click wheel wont work

    the click wheel on my ipod nano will not work. i tried restarting, resetting, and restoring. the click wheel will only work when the ipod is plugged into the usb port. how can i fix this? please help.

    This is a bit odd, maybe, but I also got an ipod nano 4th gen for xmas. The thing is, my click wheel is working fine. I've been using it quite frequently for the past 4 days. I wonder if this has to do whether your dock is suitable for the 4th gen. I know that many docks are only set for 3rd gen ipods. Check your docks! Also, I think it makes a difference from where you got your ipod. They all should be okay, but I was just wondering. Mine was shipped into where I live (well actually to my Aunt's house. My aunt gave it to me.:) ) It seems to be working fine. Shelf-life could have somehow damaged the ipod. Like in packaging or something? To fix it, you could try going to a Genius Bar. They are found at the actual apple stores. They could fix it or maybe give you a free fix or whatever. (if your lucky!) Hope this maybe helps?!

  • Updated & Restored now click wheel wont work

    I have an iPod Nano 2nd generation.
    It froze on me... so I followed all of the instructions.
    Charged it up. Updated software. Restored the Nano.
    Repeated the process.
    Now it is stuck on the select language screen - but anytime I click any buttons - nothing happens!
    When I restored it... everything appears normal from within iTunes - it tells me it is synching my music, allows me to name the iPod. Click wheel does work when connected to the computer either.
    HELP?
    Thanks
    Dave

    The click wheel is broken and needs to be replaced. It will also need a new battery.

  • My screen is frozen and the home and off buttons wont work. what should i do?

    What do you do if your iPad screen freezes and it wont do anything? Home and off buttona wont work!

    Have you tried both together for a Reset? Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
    Failing that see here for unresponsive iPads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS3212 when installing iTunes on my new laptop a message box appears saying some sort of error has occured and i have to uninstall it then reinstall it again and it still won't work what should i do?

    when installing iTunes on my new laptop a message box appears saying some sort of error has occured and i have to uninstall it then reinstall it again and it still won't work what should i do?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I accdently formated my shuffle and now it wont work what do i do?

    I accdently formated my shuffle and now it wont work what do i do?
    That and when I plug the shuffle in to the comp iTunes doesn't reconize that the shuffle is pluged in.
    it has updated a-few times. and when iTunes sees that the shuffle is in the comp it tells me that the songs are on the shuffle.............but when i unplug it and put my headphones in no music comes out of it!
    so what am i to do
    shuffle 512MB Windows XP

    I'm having the same problem! My good-for-nothing brother has formatted iPod shuffle through "My Computer" and now it won't work. Neither iTunes nor iPod software updater recognise the thing. To be honest, neither application even start when the shuffle is plugged in! And now I've just read that apple says you "SHOULD NOT FORMAT" shuffle. What am I to do? Have I lost my iPod for ever?

    very likely it is a hardware issue, if after restore to factory setting does not solve.
    it could be caused by poor contact or the faulty click wheel of the iPod, just like mine
