Un-Responcive Click Wheel

This is my First Hard Drive Based iPod, i have owned a 1st gen nano. the problem with my classic is that the click wheel randomly stops responding when scrolling. so when scrolling the albums list the click wheel will stop after every 20 albums. i have seen videos on youtube showing people scroll with no problems.
i have 1196 songs on it.
the firmware, 1.1.2
i want to know should i go to the apple store to see if i can get a replacement?
or is it just me, since i am used to the nano's speed.
Thanks

Well i took it to the apple store, and it was defective. the replacement has no issues. so now the click wheel is as responsive as the ipod nano 3rd gen.

My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes.

Hi There,
The title actually says it all..
(My 4th Generation click wheel 40 GB iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes 7.4.2, although the iPod works fine.. iTunes keeps saying to reset it, but I don't see why I should)
The iPod seems to work just fine, so I'm not in a big hurry to erase all my songs audio books etc..
I am thinking that this is a problem with Macintosh iTunes version 7.4.2, from what I'm seeing, but how should I proceed?
Many thanks for any help.
Eric

Sounds like a dead battery. Take it into your local Apple store/Genius bar and see if there is anything they can do for you. Another option is to send it in to a third party repair company who can replace the battery at a pretty low cost.

My i pod nano click wheel doesn't work. how do i fix it?

my i pod nano click wheel has stopped working. My i pod still works when in my docking station but the wheel doesn't. Anyone got any ideas what I can do? I've tried to restore settings but that hasn't worked.

That is a hardware issue. Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. If you want to DIY - iPod Repair Tutorials

How Can I Recover Paid For iPod Click Wheel Games

Well, well, well. It seems that Apple iTunes had really ****** me off today. Here is what happened
Recovering iPod Classic Click Wheel Games
Here is my story and at the bottom are my Questions
The hard drive on my old computer crashed and I bought myself a new one. When I finally decided to put more on music onto my iPod Classic something happened. iTunes disabled without deleting my $300 worth of iPod Classic Click Wheel Games. I've called and contacted them for support to no avail. I believe I forgot to authorize my new computer before putting on my new music.
Just before Christmas I called Apple support asking questions & the man on the phone didn't have very good advice for me. He said that maybe iTunes could replace the games for me. So I started looking at iTunes for iPod Classic Click Wheel Games and they were no where to be found. Apparently Apple had removed them from the store and yet they sell iPod classics.
http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/30/apple-removes-ipod-click-wheel-games-from-it unes/
After Christmas I tried again to contact them about my iPod Classic to try and have my $300 worth of click wheel games replaced. While I waited on the phone for an hour while they played poor quality music into my ear giving me sever headache. I was already frustrated as it is and when I got a hold of someone she I had trouble understanding her. (I have poor hearing, had a headache and was frustrated) She gave me advice to contact Apple about the iTunes store. I called again and got a hold of someone who i could better understand. He gave me a step by step information which was the same as the last person I had contacted.
Now I sent an email to iTunes store asking if i could get help
All the iPod Classic Click wheel games files were still on my iPod. Now I needed some way of retrieving the files. I made a that attempt at contacting apple and they told me that i Could "Check for Available Downloads". Which was the very first thing I'd Tried. But these are files which i believe apple only allowed One Download. I could not get my files from Apple.
Now I sent them a 4th Very long message stating what happened and Asking for Answers for Four Questions.
The files are still on my iPod Classic & I would like to Please get some answers to My Questions Which I WANT You PLEASE to Help Me with.
The files are still on my iPod Classic & I would like to know.
1) Is there a way for me to Re-Activate my 2.3gb of iPod Classic Games so that they will once again work?
2) Is it possible to copy the games from my iPod onto my computer & How Can I Copy these iPod Classic Games from my iPod Back Onto my Computer?
3) If I can find these files from somewhere else lets say one of my friends or Bit Torrent. Can I copy or download the files to Replace my $300 worth of games and put them back onto my iPod?
4) If I find a way to replace my games without Apple & iTunes help. Will Apple iTunes let me put the games back onto my iPod without deleting them thinking that I have stolen something which i paid for?
After all I have already paid for the files.
I really want to Download these games back from Apple iTunes Or to re-activate my iPod classic games and copy them from my iPod back onto my computer. It seems that this isn't possible. If this isn't possible I Am Going to Be very Skeptical about ever getting a iPod Touch or iPhone. I've already been telling a lot of people about my problem.
So Far Unfortunately for me Apple & iTunes has not been very much help.
Thank You for reading my message. Please help me with the answers to the 4 Questions
The message which they sent back Has Made Me Angry. I'm Not going on apple pay per incident Paying $35 for a phone call if they can't send me an email with answers to these four ******g questions. So I suppose you can tell that right now I Am ****** Off.
Since I sent the first message I authorized my new computer which didn't re-activate me games.
Then I went onto Google searching "how to copy files from iPod to computer."
Which Led me to this website
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/
I downloaded a trial version of Touch Copy
Somehow I managed to re-activate my lost games and copy most of the files back onto my computer using "Touch Copy".
Then I downloaded the last 4 missing files from somewhere else but I'm not posting where i got them.
Now that I have fixed my problem without Apple's expensive help
I Really Want To Know the answers to questions # 3 & 4
3) Can I copy or download the files to Replace my $300 worth of games and put them back onto my iPod?
4) Will Apple iTunes let me put the games back onto my iPod without deleting them thinking that I have stolen something which i paid for?
After all I have already paid $300 for the files.
I Thank You For taking the time to read my message.

Transfer your purchases into an authorized library, recover other media from the device, restore the device.

Transfer your purchases into an authorized library

Not really. All ClickWheel games should be locked to the account used to purchase them. If your friend wished to authorize your library that would work. At the time of purchase you were told that you got only one (successful) download of the content after which it would be your responsibility to maintain backups.
4) If I find a way to replace my games without Apple & iTunes help. Will Apple iTunes let me put the games back onto my iPod without deleting them thinking that I have stolen something which i paid for?
It will be fine. If you transfer the games into your library they can then be copied to any compatible device where they will work. The key is that the library doing the transfer is authorized to the relevant account when you update the content.

TS1363 how can i restart my 2004 ipod click wheel?

How can i restart my 2004 model ipod (click wheel) on my computer and on my itunes?

Connect the iPod nano to the computer the exact same way you set up the old one. You don't need to create another Apple ID, iTunes Store account, or iTunes library.

Why can't I use my ITunes account balance to pay for a click wheel app?

I have a IPod Nano 4G and would like to download one of the click wheel apps and purchase it through my ITunes account but it seems to only allow payment with credit card. Why is this?

Hello Coastie53,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
That's just the way it is if you are trying to make the purchase from within the Canadian iTunes store. You are not allowed to use a gift card to purchase apps. As to why, that's just the rules for now. Sorry.

How can I scroll down the top menu list and then the sub-menu lists when the iPod click wheel is broken?

I have an iPod Classic 4th Generation and my click wheel connection is broken and so does not work. I can still play music on my Bose dock station but I cannot choose which album I want to play because I cannot scroll down the playlists. I can just play the first tune in the list or from where I last paused a tune. Is there a way to scroill down the list, including the top menu list, without using the click wheel?

Index Values, I think, is the property you are looking for. Set the index to 0 to be at the top.

Click wheel stuck (not on hold)

my click wheel is stuck. i tried resetting and restoring and all that. all my other buttons work. this is really wierd. please help me!!! do i need to get my iPod serviced? i hope not, cause that costs a fortune...
thanks!!

Mine does that too! It's so annoying and makes me want to break things. So far, the only quick fix that I've found it to keep it out of heat and cold. In the wintertime, I typically carry it in my pocket and that seems to work, but now in the summer I'm having more difficulty. Sometimes sticking it in front of the A/C seems to work, but that's only temporary. If anyone can find a better solution, I'd love to hear it.

How do I transfer the music content on my old IPOD (click wheel) to Itunes in my new computer for subsequent transfer to a new IPOD

How do I transfer music on my old IPOD( click wheel) to Itunes on my new computer(Windows 8) for further transfer to a new IPOD nano

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Is there a trick to using the center of the click wheel on my ipod nano 5th generation?

I just bought a used (only 5 hrs playtime) from someone and I cannot get the center of the click wheel to pick up my touch very well...it takes forever to scroll thru and its frustrating! Is it normal for it to be that difficult to use or do I just need to get used to it?

It is not normal, there is something wrong with the click wheel.

Battery/Click Wheel Crisis!

Ok i have a referbished ipod mini 1st generation. the first one had some problems and now it seems this one they gave me has even more! The battery lasts about 3 hours max. and on occassion it'll be dead and then I'll plug it in and it claims it's done charging! That was my first problem and all of the sudden I'm having click wheel issues. If the back light goes out the click wheel will stop responding! My ipod died a minute after being charged for an hour. I pressed Select and Play (a friend told me this is how you can really see the battery status) and then all of the sudden a check mark shows up and "It's ok to remove your ipod" or something like that shows up and at the top it says enable disk use which i didn't! And now the click wheel won't respond.. at all. Can someone please help me or atleast tell me what went wrong? Thank you.

You should try here if you want a replacement battery (or somewhere like it).

There are many cheaper and better batteries out there than the ones Apple provide. Google 'iPod batteries'.

I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
(When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
Have a nice day!

Refurbed 4th Generation Click Wheel 20 GB - Transfer songs with Firewire?

I currently own a 2nd generation iPod scroll wheel (that's about to die any day)...I'm thinking of getting a refurbed 4th Generation Click Wheel 20 GB.
Question: Can I load my huge iTunes library onto the refurbed 4th generation click wheel via Firewire? My iMac only has USB 1.1 and I don't want to transfer the data via USB (it would take forever)....unsure if this iPod will actually transfer data via Firewire or if it uses Firewire for charging purposes only.

Firewire is supported for data transfer and charging on the 4th Gen iPod.
You should have no problem at all, provided you have a Firewire-to-DockConnector cable. (I'm not sure if this is included with a refurb iPod)

4 Questions RE: iPod Click Wheel 40 GB (HP-Refurb)

Hello All-
I just connected my 40 GB iPod Click Wheel (HP Refurb.) and am a newbie to the world of ipod. I am using iTunes 4.6 & Mac OS 10.3.5. (I haven't upgraded to iTunes 6 on purpose because I thought this older version would be better suited to my older iPod...)
My first reaction to the sound was not great -the sound in general was flat (not full range) and the volume was too low.
To test the sound, I imported the same song into the ipod in 3 formats: AIFF, Apple Lossless & MP3 (160 kbps). To my surprise, the AIFF sounded the worst! (it had low volume and a reduced frequency range (it sounded and very flat) Why, I have no idea-
That said, I have 4 questions for the forum:
1) Is there anyway to boost the volume on my ipod? (it is not the European model, it is an HP Refurb.)
2) Is there anyway the ipod can use the EQ settings assigned to a particular song in iTunes?
3) Is there anyway the ipod can use volume settings assigned to a particular song in iTunes?
4) Is there anyway to import my custom EQ settings (for a particular song or in general) into the ipod EQ menu?
In general, I want to improve the quality of the sound-
And specifically, I would like to be able to boost the volume and have more control over the EQ .
(iTunes has a fairly decent EQ, my fingers are crossed that there may some way to use some of those features in the ipod, --iTunes is so seamlessly integrated with iTunes in all other respects...)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance-
tmp

1) Is there anyway to boost the volume on my ipod?
(it is not the European model, it is an HP Refurb.)
You have tried turning the volume up, right? ALso, make sure sound check is not enabled. (Settings-->sound check-->off)
2) Is there anyway the ipod can use the EQ settings
assigned to a particular song in iTunes?
Yes. You need to have any EQ enabled on your iPod (settings-->EQ-->pick one). When you play a song, the iPod will use the EQ you set in iTunes instead of the one set on the iPod. If the EQ is set to off on the iPod, no EQ will be used.
3) Is there anyway the ipod can use volume settings
assigned to a particular song in iTunes?
It should be. Are you noticing any difference between songs with higher volumes set?
4) Is there anyway to import my custom EQ settings
(for a particular song or in general) into the ipod
EQ menu?
No. I would...

Why won't iPod 4th Generation Click Wheel 40gb (non-photo) charge?

I have an old but much-loved iPod 4th Generation Click Wheel 40gb (non-photo model) that I keep on a charging dock. Yesterday the screen went blank and it refuses to charge, so I assume the battery is dead.
Can anyone tell me if that's the reason? If so, exactly what replacement battery I should get? I've found replacement batteries listed for the iPod 4th Gen 40 GB photo and the 4th Gen 20 GB, but don't know if they'll fit. Thanks so much for any information out there!

hmm - curiouser and curiouser
I've now managed to get it to manually update (after iTunes took 100% of system resources and I had to force quit it...) but that still doesn't really help me with the auto-sync feature which still won't work
aaaaaaggggggghhhhh
