Nano recognized, but click wheel frozen?

Try a hard reset by holding the middle button and the play pause button for 5 seconds ipod should then restart normally

First make sure the lock is not on. Second, I have read in a number of threads people have tried putting scotch tape over the wheel and it started working. I know it sounds crazy but it's worth a try. Otherwise I would say you have a hardware issue and should contact Apple if it is still under warranty.

just press the menu and power botton at the same time. that reset your Ipod

That could be one of two problems: Either the cord of the click wheel has been disconnected from its socket which will be an easy fix and you only have to pay labor, or you may just need a new click wheel which should still be cheap.

Flip the off and on button 3 times then hold the menu button and it will restart and it should be fine

Actually this issue shouldn't really be that difficult to resolve. :) A simple reset should take care of it being frozen on the connected screen. Below I have posted a step by step on resetting an iPod.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.) Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step. Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.

As soon as you see the apple icon appear disconnect the iPod from your computer. After the iPod completely loads. reconnect it to make sure it is connecting and loading correctly. If this does not resolve your issue for any reason please do let me know. I have a few other options we could attempt. :) and the feed back is always good. It lets me know if I am actually helping people with they're issue's or not.
