My ipod won't scroll and instead clicks wherever my finger slides to

I hadn't used my iPod in about a week and its pretty broken,
I try to scroll through, say my settings, and instead to scrolling down it clicks on wherever my finger lands,
will only scroll sometimes but in short bursts, meaning it can take a long time to scroll through a simple message.
Any ideas?

- First go to Settings>General>Accessibility and make sure all are turned off
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.
- Reset all settings                            
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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.

  • Scrolling and right-click won't respond

    I purchased my magic mouse several months ago (probably about 6 now) and it worked wonderfully until now.  All of a sudden, my mouse won't scroll or right-click!  What's the deal???  Anyone else have this issue?

    Resetting those frequently corrects odd problems.  Resetting them cannot hurt anything.

  • Twist How to enable Scrolling and Middle Click (open in new tab)

    I'm trying to find out if there is a way I can enable the ability to both scroll and middle click on the Twist. On my T420 I have "scrolling smooth" enabled under trackpoint properties (this setting doesn't exist on the Twist). When this is enabled a quick click of the middle button will open a link in a new tab, but pressing the middle button and moving the trackpoint allows me to scroll as expected. On the Twist, pressing the middle button only seems to bring up the scrolling prompt, and there seems to be no way to click.

    I have the same question. I found a temporary work around by using the TPMiddle tool: http://users.v-lo.krakow.pl/~mwrobel/programs/tpmi​ddle.html I does work perfectly, but only until you restart the PC, so I had to manually add it to the startup. Hopefully there is an official way to do this

  • My 8GB iPod won't work after I clicked restore on iTunes?!

    I clicked restore on itunes as my iPod had two/three lots of the same songs on it and i just wanted to wipe the memory and start again by putting all my albums on. Now it won't work as it says there was a problem with recovery and it's in safe mode and just keeps referring me to queries that are far too technical for me to understand.  How could this happen?

    It states an unknown error occurred (1) and shows a tab saying, more information. But despite restarting both my mac and iPod.....it still won't work and just has an apple icon on the iPod......

  • My iPod won't charge and is not recognized by my PC...

    it's been two weeks that i saw my ipod blinked. (i have and ipod video, 30 gb.) the battery was draining so fast. i tried charging it. it charged but the following day, same problem. i tried reformatting it, but to no avail. i tried charging it again. but my adapter and pc won't recognize it anymore. i mean, no icons show up on the screen of my ipod. i got this ipod about a year ago, but this is the first time i encountered this problem!
    i mean this is really: HELP!

    I suspect that you have a completely dead battery.
    i got this ipod about a year ago
    If you mean 11 months, a battery replacement is under warranty but $30 shipping and handling. If you mean 13 months, a battery replacement is $59 + $7 shipping.

  • Help please.  My newish Ipod won't charge and won't connect to itunes

    Hello,
    I have had a 20 gb ipod for a month or two and just the other day I put it to charge (not for the first time) and it didn't connect. I have a docker and that didn't work either. I tried to connect to itunes on both laptop and home computer and it didn't register the ipod.
    I guess there might be a loose connection in the bottom of the ipod? I am still under guarantee but can't make head nor tail of the site. If I call I get charged automatically 37 pounds for on line support (I am not within the 90 days as I bought this ipod on Ebay) Do I just send the whole thing in without really knowing what is wrong with it?
    Has anyone had a similar problem? i successfully have connected both to the charger and itunes over the past few weeks though there were a couple of occasions where the ipod didn't get recognised by itunes.
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • The volume icon on my ipod won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full.

  • 2G iPod won't mount and CD icon appears?

    Hi I have a 20 gig 2G ipod that I got from the battery replacement program 3 years ago. I am unable to sync it with iTunes. When I connect it to my mac it won't mount and the CD icon appears on the iPod screen. When I unplug it the icon is still on the screen after few minutes I get the Cd icon with the check mark, then it returns to normal operation. When I press play the song plays for 20 30 sec. and then it freezes.
    How can I reset the iPod?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello!
    What kind of iPod do you have? (new one?)
    Are you using a mac or a pc?
    If your using windows pc, check and see if you have a 6 pin connector (FireWire) if not then thats probably why it is not charging!
    If your using a mac then it should charge automatically.
    Refer to the online support and type in the search area:
    iPod(with dock connector) user's guide (manual)
    Refer to page 45 Battery charging!
    Let me know if I can help in any other way!

  • My mac app store won't load and when click it nothing happens happens

    my mac app store won't load and when you click it nothing happens...it was okay for the past months but now i don;t know why it won't open...please help...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • My iPod won't charge and start, t happened when i came home from camp. it puts the apple sign but it just stays there i tried lots of cords and still won't start, whats going on

  • IPod won't sync and freezes iTunes

    I am no novice user. I have an iPod Classic 120 GB. I had my iPod in disc mode and updated 1 song and shutdown the computer without ejecting the iPod first. Now all the songs disappeared. I tried to reconnect the iPod but everytime I plug it in iTunes freezes. It will sync a few hundred songs and then just stick on one for hours. I have 41 on there right now.
    I've tried reformatting in Windows, but it fails. I tried doing Quick Format and that works. Every time I open iTunes it says you need to restore your iPod. So I restore it and it says everything is fine. It tries to sync the iPod and freezes again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I've checked "sync only checked songs" and selected about 150 to do. I've reset the iPod multiple times (by holding center button and Menu). Nothing works.
    I've searched the Internet for the passed 2 days looking over every topic I can find. I need help.

    Here's a little update. I had tried a quick format again. iTunes restored the iPod and I had the options to manually manage music. I dragged about 100 songs at a time to the iPod and it sent them. I ejected the iPod after the first couple hundred and they were there. I plugged it back into iTunes and did about 300 more. I had a total of 500 songs. I finished syncing and didn't freeze. I ejected the iPod no problem. After it said OK to disconnect I look through the songs and it says 0 songs. Now it's freezing up iTunes again. >:(
