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.

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?!

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.

I did the new software update and now my phone wont work at all and keeps saying it needs to be restored from back up

I had my phone plugged in to my iTunes yesterday and downloaded the new software. I then went to install the new software and it crashed half way through with an error message. Then it went off completely and wiped everything. I tried to restore from back up and now it says it has restored from yesterdays back up, restarts afterwards and says it needs to restore from back up again. and just goes round and round doing that. Even if i try an earlier back up. I also tried wiping everything back to factory settings and restoring from back up and that did the same as above. Please help!!

Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

Just updated Tiger now my KVM wont work!!!

I just ran the most recent update for tiger, now my Belkin KVM switch doesn't work, it did before the update, now when I switch on my G4 (g4 400 os9.2.2) it tries to cut in I can even force the monitor over but it goes right back to my mac min (G4 1.5 OSX 10.4.9 latest update) so unless I switch off the mini I can't use my G4.
Any work arounds or fixes would be nice...

Restore - now my phone wont work - not worried about losing content

Tried to change Iphone version from 4.1 to 4.2 on my iPhone 3g,
It starts but requests that I connect to itunes -itunes recognises the iPhone
but says I must use the same sim from mobile service - I have only used 1 sim
Not worried If i lose the data on my iPhone - just want it to run normal again,
HELP PLEASE!

If Apple did not replace the screen, bring it back to those people who did. Something probably went wrong replacing the screen.
If a 3rd party repair center opened the phone, Apple will not service the unit anymore.

I did the ios7 update this morning and now my ipad wont work. I hear siri tell me all the things i touch on the ipad but i cant swipe it open

i did the 10s 7 update this morning and now my ipad wont work. I can hear siri tell me all the things i am touching on my screen but it wont unlock and allow me to enter my password. Its as if the screen doesnt work

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

Ipod click wheel not working

Hello,
I thought my ipod was coolest gift I could recieve until the click wheel stopped working all of the sudden. That malfunction just about renders it usless. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I have no luck finding a solution with apple. I have reset it, restored it and everything. Can someone help?

Had same problem today. Read somewhere else to try hairdryer on it for a few minutes then reset. Mines is now working, good luck!

Click wheel not working + crashes after lock switch (nano 2 gen)

Hi,
I have an ipod nano 2nd generation for a couple years, and recently it completely stopped working. While it does communicate with itunes no probs, the click wheel doesnt work, and switching lock on/off causes the ipod to reboot. Restoring doesnt help. Any ideas?
As its a pretty old player, the warranty has probably expired, so getting apple to repair it isnt really worth it is it.

How can you reset it if the click wheel isn't
working?
I was able to get it to reset once or twice, but by the time I got the info about REstore, no-clicky
Anyway put your iPod into iPod diagnostics and see if
the clickwheel is working. First, reset the iPod, and
when you see the apple logo, start to hold the select
and rewind buttons.
The only time now I see the Apple Logo is after a restore. The clickwheel doesn't do anything now... not even light up the display when I touch it...
Any other ideas for me to try?
