Scroll Wheel no longer works. Please Help !

About a month ago, my scroll wheel suddenly just stopped working. I now have very limited use of it. For example, I cannot scroll through my song list, because it takes about 5 minutes of constantly trying to scroll, for it to move down one song. The only way I can listen to music,if to have it on shuffle.
Please help me! Its driving me up the wall.

It sounds like a job for service, but if you're confident/have a technically able friend you could see if the connector is dirty/has come loose.
I posted this a few threads down:
Ok, this is a potentially easy fix for the confident.
BEFORE DOING ANY WORK ON AN IPOD, ENSURE THAT YOU'VE SWITCHED IT OFF (HOLD PLAY) AND PUT IT ON HOLD.
Go get a small jeweller's flat-headed screwdriver (~2-3mm wide), and gently pry away the white bit from the case. Inside there should be a metal bracket. Using the screwdriver, ease away the metal bracket from all four corners, trying not to bend the bracket. Be careful, they have a tendency to spring free. Once you've removed this, with your mini face up there is a brown plug connector (big square of silicone. Gently remove that with the screwdriver, ensure that it's relatively clean, and push it home. Reassemble the iPod, and let me know how you get on.
It sounds less likely in your case than the other, since he 'd said that he'd dropped it, but it's worth a try if it's outside the warranty.

  • Scroll Wheel no longer works in version 4.4 RC

    My scroll wheel no longer works after installing Lightroom 4.4. In all previous versions, I was able to use my Logitech scroll device to adjust the sliders in the development panel.  In the 4.4 version, the scroll wheel no longer works and instead of adjusting an individual slider, it scrolls the whole development panel up and down. I did uninstall the mouse driver and reinstalled but that did not work. The mouse works just fine in all other programs. I think it is a bug with the 4.4 version. I am operating in Windows 7. Any suggestions for a fix?

    Ah....

  • Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) No longer working - Please help!

    Ok... here we go.  I cannot RDC to my network at work.  I originally was using a PC and was able to connect a few times using RDC before it stopped working.  It would not connect either wirelessly or connected via ethernet cable no matter what I tried.  I then tried a laptop from work - same problem.  I then went and bought a new Macbook Pro - connected no problem 5 times in a row until it stopped worked again out of the blue.  
    In summary:
    - same problem exists on Macs and PCs
    - same problem exists when using Wifi or Ethernet cable
    - problem ONLY occurs at home with my FIOS router - all the same computers can RDC using any other network
    - if I connect to my neighbor's Wifi on either a Mac or PC, it's works fine
    Please help!!  I've been looking at my router settings but I'm over my head.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    I am going to take an educated guess as to why, it does not work. If this does not solve the issue, please post,
    The solution was posted here by user "tns", from user BigDaddy on DSLReports:
    Login to your router normally, then click this link, which will take you to the now-hidden IGMP Proxy config page:

  • Firelight 80 GB no longer working, please help!!

    hi.
    my firelight external hard drive is no longer working. the light is on, i hear the motor working but it is not registering on my mac.no icons appear.
    do i have to download some new drivers? if so where from and what is its name?
    thanks for your help.
    joel

    Hi Joel,
    A couple of things we can try...
    1.) If you open Disk Utility, do you see the hard drive there?
    2.) If you open System Profiler, do you see the drive present on the device tree bus?
    What type of drive is it, USB or FireWire?

  • Divx and other media related plugins always crash and/or no longer work, please help

    Why is nothing of divx seems to work anymore? Every time i try to watch a video online using a divx site or site that uses a divx player, i get the message
    "divx plus web player pluging has cashed, send crash report"
    I send it - then am offered the option to reload the page once reloaded a press play the player then says connecting and then crashes again!!!
    FF this is ridiculas!!
    None of the divx plugins are recognised anymore and the divx web player add on is marked as incompatible, and there is not an option to enable it! When i click on the '''bold text'''more '''bold text'''option all that apears is the link to website where you download the exact same up to date version that you already have.
    im using windows vista home basic 32-bit operating system, & the new version of firefox.
    Its really annoying that these extensions and plugins no longer work crash and/or are no longer recognised espcially considering firefox insisted we upgrade for security issue etc and that 3.6 wont be kept up to date any more, I want reinstall the 3.6 version but am worried about security issues now.
    will the divx plugin and addon/extension be added to this new version anytime soon if not what can i do to enable me to watch videos without the plugin crashing ? (i have updated all the pluggins but the problem still occurs) ?

    I am having the same problems as well. Every time I turned around there was a new version of Firefox 8.0. Prior to the constant updating of Firefox I was able to watch movies from Stagevu and Veehd and now because of the new Firefox I cannot watch any movies. I also tried the VLC plugin and that constantly crashes as well as the DivX Web Player. I read so many complaints and no one from Firefox or any of the other browser is giving any of their constituents or customers whatever you want to call us any solutions to the problem and I am beginning to get a little frustrated. I have tried all of the other browsers like the Internet Explorer and Google Chrome and I still come up with the same problem.

  • Airport Connected Printer No Longer Working - Please Help!

    I have an Airport Extreme connected to Road Runner Cable Modem serving a the Main Base Station.
    I have a Xerox Phaser 7750DN Color Laser Printer connected via USB to another Airport Extreme serving as a Remote Base Station.
    I have an Airport Express operating as a Remote Base Station to extend the netwrok into a part of the house not reached by the Main Base Station.
    I have a G5 PowerMac, G5 iMac, G4 iMac, and a G4 PowerBook, all on the wireless network. They are all running Tiger.
    I used to have no problem printing to the Xerox Phaser. But recently have had problem printing from any of the computers to the Xerox Phaser.
    I have tried everything that I can think of, but nothing appears to work.
    Could any help? It is a big problem for me.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    i also have recently lost the ability to print to my hp color laserjet 3500.
    i have a powerbook g4 and an imac g4 both using an Airport Extreme for shared internet access and printing to the hp printer via Airport's USB port.
    i think i lost the ability to print right after allowing my powerbook to upload new software to the Airport Extreme base station. not certain that is the reason, but the timing is right. the base station still shares my internet connection (both computers can surf), and both computers can print when the printer is connected directly to a computer USB port.
    does anyone know how i could revert to the prior version of AE software (on the base station)?

  • My keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    my keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1 
    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2 
    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash
    3 
    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in. 
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4
    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    5
    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
    6 
    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • Can't find a playlist I created on my playlist or computer? I didn't delete it. I don't want to create it again because it took a long time. please help me find and recover.

    Can't find a playlist I created on my playlist or computer? I didn't delete it. I don't want to create it again because it took a long time. please help me find and recover.

    Playlists only exist as part of the larger iTunes library listing so if you are not seeing it there it doesn't exist anywhere else.  I know with my older version of iTunes it is very easy to accidentally delete a playlist.  With newer versions it may be possible to recover it with the undo feature in the menu but this likely will only work immediately after the deletion.
