How to change the shutter speed on my nikon n65 film 35mm slr camera
In the manual and shutter-priority modes (set the dial to "M" or "S"), turn the command dial to change the shutter speed. In the aperture-priority mode (set the dial to "A"), turning the command dial changes the aperture and the camera will set the shutter speed appropriately.If you need a manual, you may download a copy

I've been reading all the
Leave the aperture ring at f/22. You can then control the aperture from the camera body, the same way you would with a lens without an aperture ring.
I have a nikon n65 and there is a blinking F- - what does that mean?
The F-- indicates that the camera isn't communicating with the lens. If you have an old mechanical lens with no electronics, you'll have to set the camera to the Manual exposure mode (turn the mode dial to M) and shoot without any help from the camera's light meter.If you're using a newer AF lens with electronics, clean the electrical contacts on the back of the lens and in the mount on the camera body.
I have the aperture at the lowest number but when
It sounds like the mechanical lever in your camera that normally couples the aperture to the camera to lock it to the widest opening for focusing is locked into the fully closed position, or that the electronics are not allowing the lens to open to fully open, depending on the type of lense being used.
Also, it could be an issue with the lense.
The simple way to test this will be to remove the lense, and to rotate the aperture ring while looking through the lense. If you see the aperture getting larger/smaller the lense aperture is fine. If it is not - the lense is damaged and needs to be replaced, or at best serviced. This can be done through Nikon, a local shop if you have one, or through online shops, I'd recommend KEH Camera in Atlanta if you have to go that way.
To test the camera side, if the lense appears to be working is also simple for the mechanical lever. With the lense removed, hold the camera in front of you looking into the lense mount. On the left side, you should see a small lever like piece. With your finger, see if this piece will move downward - it is spring loaded and should smoothly go down and pop back up. If it doesn't go down, or doesn't spring right back up, then the issue is on the camera mechanical side.
If both of those check fine, you may try a manual focus Nikon mount lense if you have access to one - to eliminate the camera electronics from being an issue, and the lense from being an issue as if this lense doesn't work, it's a mechanical issue. If you have access to another AF lense you know is working, and it doesn't work on your camera, you've narrowed it down to either the mechanical lever, or the electronics.
Most likely culprit is the lense itself.
I bought new batteries for my N65 and my camera
The manual mentions only 2 conditions where the Err message appears. First if it is Err + E at the same time, the film has not completely wound and needs to be reloaded.
If it is Err alone, the manual states to fire the shutter and see if the message remains. If it does, to contact a Nikon Authorized Service Rep.
Nikon N65 Won't Turn On
Nikon hasn't manufactured the N65 is several years now, so if you bought it it was either misrepresented as new, or possible new-old-stock (a never sold/used item, that's been sitting on the shelf for a number of years). I'd be willing to venture you probably ran into a disreputable seller.
Either way, open the battery compartment and look for corrosion in the compartment. If that's present clean it off with the eraser of a pencil and try again. If that doesn't work, contact Nikon service with the warranty information in your package. If it's a new item, it'll still be warrantied since the warranty won't begin until it's sold to a consumer.
If, however you find that the camera was sold 10 years ago and no longer under warranty, you'll probably want to either find a local reputable shop, buy another camera if yours turns out to be too expensive to repair (impossible to tell until someone looks at it to determine the issue), or if you don't have a local shop I'd recommend KEH Camera in Atlanta, GA for mail-order/internet dealers. They've been in business many years and are very reputable.

If there's a battery check button, try that to see if you're getting power elsewhere, or see if the functions inside the viewfinder are working. Check to see if the battery contacts are dirty or corroded. If so, use the eraser of a pencil to clean them. If that doesn't help, there's either a dead circuit, or a loose contact and you'll need to contact a repair tech.
You can either contact Nikon directly, find a local reputable shop if you have one in your area, or if you have to go through an online dealer I'd recommend KEH Camera (KEH.com)
What does fee mean
It means that the lens is not set to its smallest aperture. Turn the aperture ring on the lens to its smallest aperture (largest f/number). You can control the aperture from the camera body, the same way as on a lens without an aperture ring.
FE E code????
You're using a lens with an aperture ring. Turn the ring to set the aperture at its smallest opening (largest f/number) and lock it if the ring has a lock. You can control the aperture from the camera the same way as with a lens without an aperture ring, or let the camera control it.
How can i turn the flash off of my nikon n65
In the PSAM modes the flash won't pop up on its own. In the AUTO and vari-program modes, you can set the flash mode by turning the command dial while pressing the flash sync mode button (marked with a lightning bolt symbol). Select Flash Cancel (lightning bolt in a circle with a slash through it).

Is there a manual rewind
If by manual you mean turning a crank to rewind the film, no. If you mean to do it at a point other than the end of the roll, yes.
To rewind film mid-roll, press the two film rewind buttons simultaneously for approximately one second. The film will then rewind and the frame counter will count backward. The film is completely rewound when the E appears in place of the frame number.
The two film rewind buttons are marked with a red film canister symbol with left-pointing arrows. One is the exposure compensation button next to the control panel, the other is the self-timer button next to the mode dial.

I just put new batteries in my N65. I haven't used
What I'm thinking is the shutter and or the aperture ring is lazy. Move the aperture ring up and down several time see if the little ring next to the the camera body is responding quickly to the change.
Do this without film in the camera.
What I'd suggest is setting the camera in "M" mode aperture at F8 manual set the ISO at 100 and the shutter speed at 1/60 shift the camera into manual focus. The shutter can be in AF-S (single frame with each depress of the shutter). Trip the shutter and listen to it work do that a few times (maybe three) then set the speed at 1/125 do the same test listen the shutter should sound faster. Repeat the test at 250 then 500 then 1000. Then start backing down to 1/60th again, listen to the response. In all manual mode the shutter has to fire it it isn't or the speed doesn't increase and then decrease then the shutter needs service.
The batteries are dead on my N65, but when I
Battery is needed to unlock the catch then the internal flash will pop up. These cameras are programed to automatically pop up in certain modes so there is a little electric switch used not battery no switch. Don't leave the dead battery in the camera or you'll end up with more problems then just replacing the batteries.
I have a Nikon 33mmSLR
Ignore the error. Control the aperture by turning the aperture ring on the lens. You will get no help from the camera's exposure meter.
If the shutter cannot be fired this way, please reply to this post and we'll go on from there.
I just picked up this same product at a yard sale
The FEE means that the camera is not communicating with the lens. This can happen for several reasons.
1) The lens doesn't have the electronics to communicate with the camera. You can use such lenses, but you'll have to shoot in Manual mode and the camera's meter will not function.
2) The electrical contacts are not making good contact. Remove the lens and clean the contacts on the back of the camera and in the mount on the body. You can also try gently jiggling the lens after you remount it.
3) Either the lens or the camera (or both) need servicing.
N65. has been sitting in
Cameras need to be used regularly to stay in working order. If left, the lubricant films inside dry out and gum up.
As your camera is virtually worthless these days a professional repair makes no economic sense. You can try to free up the camera by leaving it in a warm dry place for a few hours and then trying a fresh battery. As the camera is already effectively a write off you may also wish to try slapping the base down fairly hard on a table as you switch it on. The combination of heat-softened lube films, a fresh battery and the physical shock might just be enough to free off the gummed part, but if there's more than a few gummed up parts then this won't work.
N65's/F65's or similar models can be easily obtained on your local FreeCycle/Freegle groups if you're a bit patient and check often. It's where I've got almost every Canon and Nikon model in my (regularly used) collection. Preventing the fault means turning a stored camera on at least once a month and operating everything you can a few times.
WHEN I PUSH SHUTTER BUTTON FEE LIGHTS UP WILL NOT
Your camera is telling you that you have failed to set the aperture ring on the lens to its minimum value (highest number). This is vital as the F65 controls the aperture completely via the camera body and does not use the manual lens aperture control.
If you still have FEE after doing this then please report back for further guidance., but if I've solved your fault please let me know by rating my answer.
