USB 2.0- Nano recognised as a iPod 20/40GB Click wheel model

Whenever I connect my iPod Nano into my ALi M5273 USB 2.0 PCI card, iTunes recognises my Nano as an old iPod (iPod 20/40GB Click Wheel model, with the black/white screen). The ipod icon under 'Sources' that appears on the left of iTunes appears as this model instead of a black ipod nano icon.
Sometimes the usb 2.0 card fails to connect altogether. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Or should i just buy a new USB 2.0 card?
Specs:
Windows XP Professional SP2
ALi M5273 USB 2.0 PCI Card
iPod Nano

Strange... i've tried both versions. Version 4.9 that came on the disc and version 5.0. But both versions of itunes still seem to have the same problem- with USB 2.0.
Is it strange for my USB 2.0 card to have 4 USB controllers?: 1x'Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller', and 4x'ALi PCI to USB Open Host Controller'? All in all, it's added 4 USB Root Hubs, one with 6 usb ports, and 3 all with 2 usb ports each. Is that correct? (My ALi USB 2.0 card only has 5 usb ports but my pc has added 12).
P.s: There is another USB host controller which is not accounted for, as this is used to control the USB 1.1 ports on my motherboard. The controllers and USB Hubs listed have all been added by my ALi USB 2.0 PCI Card.

I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel

I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel. I have fully charged it tried resetting it and on two different computers with the latest iTunes I have restored it with the latest firmware then moved it to hold and off hold held in the menue button and select button for 10 seconds but all I get is a screen where I select the language but cant get any response from the scroll wheel.
The hold button is working (I see the lock icon go on and off) I have done the restore procedure and then reset many times but no good I am wondering if I should open it up and disconnect the battery for 30 seconds.
I would appreciate any advice thanks in advance. (This is my Daughters ipod mine is an 8 gig one.)

You need a newer model iPod, a 4G or 5G. The 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

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!

IPod 40 gb click wheel completely dead!

I bought an iPod (40gb click wheel) in September 2004 for the grand sum of £299 – so it isn’t even 2 years old! It has totally died. Firstly in June it refused to be identified by my Dell computer; then it corrupted a part of the software in my computer which identifies my DVD/CD drive. I had that fixed by Dell – thank goodness it didn’t do any further damage! As a result of not being recognised by my computer I was unable to add additional tunes to it. The iPod was still working but then started to make lots of noises. It then stopped working altogether and produced the folder with!. I phoned the support line in early July and was told that there are several articles on the web site which could help – I followed the recommendations and it still continued to try to re-boot itself. I was also told that getting it fixed would cost me £166 as the one year warranty had run out !!!! (Surely it should last longer than that – also I can buy something new which is more reliable for less than that!) The last stage was the final appearance of the apple logo, a black screen and now it is completely dead. It refuses to charge up with the battery and I’m absolutely livid. It doesn’t warrant being fixed. I hearby plan to return this lump of rubbish to Apple as I was on the verge of throwing it away but didn’t want to pollute the environment with whatever nasties lie within.

I've got the same problem mate. The clickwheel started to ge dead in places like around skip forward track area, (which was annoying to say the least.) But the other day it completely died, now it tries to start up showing the apple logo, then you can hear inside the hardrive spin up then a loud click then it tries this again about 5 times before showing the support website.
Ive probably had the ipod for about 2 years.
Annyoing since its a 40gb ipod and i've barely filled up 13gb. I might take it into see what the shop says but i sort of know its gonna be not worth repairing. Plus the video ipods are looking really good.

My iPod photo's click wheel doesn't work.

My iPod photo's click wheel doesn't work? I can click it but cannot scroll with it...
Any suggestions?

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

I have an older Ipod with the clicker wheel. w

I have an older ipod with the clicker wheel. Once I have imported a CD to iTunes, how do I get it to transfer to the iPod by Artist or Album instead of only each individual song? When I import to my ipod and click on Artist or Album, it still shows the entire list of songs. Thanks

A 15GB iPod would have to be a 3rd gen iPod. It has a touch (not click) wheel with four touch buttons in a row that glow orange during use, correct? That model needs to be connected using FireWire, because it cannot charge over USB.
If your new Mac has a Thunderbolt port, you can get an adapter for FireWire
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
plus an adapter for FireWire 800 to FireWire 400
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/FIR1369AD/
Another way, if you have the square white FireWire power adapter that came with your iPod, is to get a special docking cable that Apple used to sell a long time ago. It has both USB and FireWire connectors. Here's a listing for a third-party version on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Vanco-iPod-Dock-Connector-to-1-USB-1-FireWire-Cable-/2 71074766489?pt=US_MP3_Player_Chargers_Cradles&hash=item3f1d50ae99
(Search on "FireWire USB iPod docking cable" to see other listings.)
What you do with this thing is plug the USB connector to your Mac's USB port, the FireWire connector to the FireWire power adapter, and the dock connector to the iPod. iPod can then sync over USB while getting power over FireWire.
I would go with that special cable, to avoid using a series of adapters (which adds complexity and unreliability) and tying up the valuable Thunderbolt port for just your iPod.

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

Apple iPod Dock (Click Wheel models)

I have a 3rd Gen iPod (15GB). is it compatabille with the Apple iPod Dock (Click Wheel models) as in the description denotes only 20GB & 60GB.?

If you're going to buy a dock, then just buy the correct dock for your iPod. Like I said, they're all the same price.
iPod color Dock: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72504/wo/wy5uBwj uMyGn3gtokq747yKQjGz/1.SLID?mco=55F2F0EC&nplm=M9868G%2FA
Mini Dock: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72504/wo/wy5uBwj uMyGn3gtokq747yKQjGz/1.SLID?mco=4F1F1A11&nplm=M9467G%2FA
3G/4G Dock (it comes with different covers to fit different sized iPods, but the dock is exactly the same): http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72504/wo/wy5uBwj uMyGn3gtokq747yKQjGz/4.SLID?mco=5231F86E&nplm=M9602G%2FA
Each one is $39.
Any of them would work if the iPod physically fits into it. The connector is exactly the same, it's the top piece that is different.
But by all means, if you need reassurance, email Apple on the store there. http://store.apple.com. They'll tell you exactly what you need to get. Include your iPod's serial number, it'll help them double check and make sure.
Or call 'em up. 1-800-MY-APPLE.

5g iPod off-center click wheel

Hi all.
Just got my 5g ipod. The click wheel has a small gap on the left side. It does not seem to affect its usability. I was curious to know if the same happened to others and did the apple store exchanged it for you?
Thanks

Hi,
I just got my new I pod the other day, 5G, White, 30g hard drive, the first thing I noticed was the gap. I am very ******** when it comes to that stuff. I drive my wife crazy every time I purchase electronic items. The gap is lower left about 6 and 7 o'clock position, I called the apple store and they gave me a case number, Also they sent me a empty box to send the I pod back and they said they will send me a brand new one. It took about 30 min for the entire process over the phone. This is the first apple product I ever bought. So if i get my replacement Ill be a happy customer. The tech support guy was friendly, but make sure you write your serial number down when you call, that was the difficult part reading it from the back. It is so small, and 5's looked like S's etc.. Hope this post helps with your question.

Ipod 1st generation click wheel not responding - won't reset - apple icon

My ipod won't reset or show up in itunes when connected. Apple icon seems to be frozen on screen. How can I reset it? Help!

This is really the 1st gen iPod from 2001, with a non-touch non-click wheel that physically turns, and connects with a FireWire cable?
Make sure the Hold switch is not in the ON position?
The older iPods did a reset differently from more recent iPod that have a click wheel. Be sure you are following the appropriate reset steps in this document, based on the actual iPod model.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
If it's a 1st gen iPod, it would be How to reset iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector). The buttons to press and hold are different from later iPods.

IPod Touch Sensitive Click Wheel does not turn - HELP!

Can this click wheel be fixed? Has anyone been successful? I'd love to know how and not throw $300 down the drain. Sigh. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Sure! Just do a web search for iPod repair and you will find plenty of places. Here is one that was at the top of a google search I just did...
http://pdasmart.com/ipodpartscenter5g.htm
$65 for the click wheel part and you can repair it yourself. Or $75 for mail in repair service.
I have no experience or affilation with the above linked store, just found them first in a search.

5g iPod gap around click wheel

just picked up a 5g nano today, I noticed there is a gap around left side of the click wheel. putting it on a flat surface, the left side of the click wheel looks slightly raised above the aluminum edge, while right side is flatly aligned to the edge. I have no problem using the wheel though, but you can see the wheel isn't perfectly centered and I'm worry about dust getting in there too. should I return it and get another one?

"should I return it and get another one?"
Sure, and with the new one, inspect it before you leave the store.

My "iPod Classic (60GB) Click Wheel" is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows up in 'my computer'.

My iPod Classic (60GB) Clickwheel is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows in 'My Computer'. The problem started with an error message in iTunes saying "Could not complete sync as devise may have become corrupt" and suggested I restore the iPod to factory settings which I have done several times. I've carried out an error check in the iPod properties. I've completely removed iTunes and all related software components in the correct order and reinstalled version 10.5.3. I have been through the 5 R's numerous times but still the iPod is not being recognised in iTunes. I have Windows XP, I'm tearing my hair out now so any help or suggestions would be great

Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPod
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Sad faced Ipod error message (click wheel ipod classic)

I've had the sad faced ipod error message with my ipod before and forcing into disk mode has always solved it before.
It's not showing up in itunes or my computer when I connect it to my laptop.
I have tried forcing it into disk mode time and time again and about one time out 40 it will go into disk mode. The problem comes when I then plug into the computer to restore it. It will start telling me do not disconnect then give me the error message of a battery with little power left.
It is definatly charged because I have been trying to get it into disk mode all day and on the occasions I've managed to get there it will tell me i have 3quarters or so battery remaining. However when I am plugging it into the docking station it isnt coming up to say its charging it just goes over and over with the apple logo then the sad faced ipod message.
I have tried 4 different usb cables and 2 different chargers.
Its driving me mad and any help would be greatly appreciated. I dont want my ipod to be dead.

I have been using that page, I was hoping that as id managed to get it into disk mode a few times that it might not be a harware issue.
Its about 2 years out of warrenty so a service will probably cost the same as a new one
