Why does my click wheel not advance but it does scroll

my click wheel works, but not completely. see it turns, so i can lower the volume, rate the song or even advance the song. but when i want to skip, replay or use the menu, it's not working right. i have to use my fingernail (and it's hard on the nail polish ) and push at the very edge of the wheel and the ipod itself. and then i might have to do this 5, 6, 7 and even more than 10 times. this is for all four functions, even pausing it takes effort.
i like to alternate between my playlists, so i need the menu function and sometimes i like to replay the song (i write while i listen to my ipod and need to repeat it). i have the latest software, the latest itunes, recently i restored my ipod to it's factory settings, but still this has not fixed it.
i am not working right now and can't afford a repair or a new ipod. other than the music not advancing and such, my ipod works fine.
it's almost like the circut board inside has shifted, that when i push on it, it's not connecting. but the scroll is fine.
any suggestions on how to fix it?

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar.
Type '''mousewheel.enable_pixel_scrolling'''. Its current value is '''False'''

very likely it is a hardware issue, if after restore to factory setting does not solve.
it could be caused by poor contact or the faulty click wheel of the iPod, just like mine

Why does Adobe email me to say I have been removed from my CC membership (because licence was not renewed) BUT Adobe does not have the common sense to tell me my membership is DUE for renewal – so I could have renewed it – BEFORE I was cancelled.

Does the click wheel scratch?

I've had an iPod nano for 2 months now, and it has been fully covered with a full body protector, so it is basically scratch free. But the clickwheel has been very hard to use and it gets very annoying having it covered. I'm thinking about cuting out the clickwheel part. But, I just want to know, does the click wheel scratch? I'm aware that the center button scratches but I don't care. I just mean the circular donut part.

Not from what I can see compared to the scared look of the rest of my Nano.

Ipod Video 80gb with click wheel has sound, but no audio

My ipod video 80gb with click wheel has sound, but no audio. I can hear the clicking of the wheel and selections made through the headphones, but I cannot get music, video, etc. to play audio. I did the 5 R's and installed a new headphone jack prior to posting here. I am all out of ideas and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you connect it to an iPod Dock Stereo to check if there is music, coming out, if not the Hard Reset would solve your problem or else the Audio chip has called it a day.
I know you mentioned doing the 5Rs, but did you see the Apple Logo and the language prompt? Sorry, most of the users here, doesn't do the Hard Reset correctly.
Try the iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then release the button
Select your preferred language.
This wont delete or erase any song/data on your iPod Classic.

Good Luck!

IPod with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine. Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock. Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you? If so, that won't work. The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection. All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.

Magic Mouse "click" is not responding but cursor is tracking. Any thoughts?

First check your settings. If all is as it should be, reset the PRAM.

Ipad screen is locked. SLIDE function will not work but screen does still rotate.

ipad screen is locked. slide function will not work but screen does rotate...

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My iphone 4 does not ring but it does vibrate. None of the ringtones work.

I hate to ask the obvious question, but is your ringer switch turned off on the side of your phone?

Why when you zoom in on my web page does the text size not increase but the pictures do?

I've uploaded my website and noticed on different computers (and browsers) that the page does not display as it does in my iweb.
Firstly if you zoom in (i.e. make it bigger) only the pictures increase in size, the text stays the same, simillarly when you zoom out the pictures get small but the text squashes up and moves everything around.
Secondly, the little house that I made sometimes gets a black rectagular box behind it when you do the zooming thing.
Thirdly does anyone know how to add drop downs from the main tabs, just to make it easier to nav?
Thanks in advance B

I associate Magnet links to my Vuze program and click "remember my choice" but it does not keep it assoctated anymore. What happened

Every time I click on a magnet link is asks for a program association i set Vuze and click remember. It used to keep the setting but it does not anymore and I have to go through it every time I click on a link. What happened? I think it was it the last update when this started happening but I am not sure. Is there anyway I can manually input the choice so it stays there?

Click wheel not working properly anymore

Weird problem... my click wheel (4th gen) doens't work correctly all of a sudden. The buttons all work fine, but the wheel does not, meaning I cannot scroll through menus or turn the volume up/down or skip through a song's timeline anymore. I have tried the 5 R's. All of them. Including resetting the ipod to factory settings. Updated to the 1-10-06 software update. Just very strange the buttons work (play/pause, select, menu, forward, back) but the wheel itself does not (volume, scroll, scrub). Anyone heard of this? Went through a lengthy search and have found nothing so far. Thanks for your help.

Well Lufo you're not alone. My 4th generation iPod has exactl the same symptoms as yours. Scroll wheel not respondng at all but the select/menu/rew/fwd/play & pause working ok. I've tried the restore, firmware updates and, well everything imaginable. Mine is 2 months out of warranty and have just gone through the Apple repair service and have come back saying it will be £166.00 ($290.00) which I am absolutley shocked by. Needless to say that I didn't continue with that and at that price they can stick it where the sun doesn't shine. It's near the cost of a brand new unit here in the UK. To say I'm disguted is an understatment. Does anyone know of any good non-Apple repair outlets here in the UK?

IPOD mini click wheel not functioning

My IPOD mini click wheel is not working. When I attach to my PC, Itunes recognizes it, is able to read the hard drive/play music off the IPOD. I have tried to restore it, the drive is erased, but the click wheel still does not work. I am unable to reset the Mini using the click wheel. Itunes says my software is the most recent.
thanks

Mine does the same, I can get it to work by taking off the bottom plastic part of the Ipod Mini and pulling the metal thing out a bit.

Clicker wheel not working?

the clicker wheel is not working on my ipod mini which is only about 4months old. any suggestions why or how to fix it?

Do you have a 1st gen Nano? I have the exact, and I mean exact, same problem with my old 1st Gen iPod Nano. That's part of the reason why I got the new 2nd Gen one. I'm really not sure why it does that. It runs all my patience out trying to work the stupid thing. Now that I have my new 2nd Gen, I just use my old one to back-up my music and let it sit on my shelf to gather dust.
