Menu button no longer working

Hi,
I have had my iPod since June of 2004, and I love it. Two days ago my Menu button stopped working.
Here's what's happening... for example, assume you are listening to a song. You want to stop listening to it and listen to another song on another playlist. You would press the pause button and then the MENU button. Well, the MENU button is no longer working, and I am stuck on that song.
I have tried reflashing the firmware twice using ipod-updater-2005-10-15, and then recharge the iPod. Nothing has worked.
I have also noticed that when I take my iPod off hold, the backlight goes on.
I use my iPod all the time in the car. I using a transponder, not headphones...
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Mitch 751. I had a sinking feeling that would be the case, but I was hoping it was not.
In any case, I appreciate your reply.
I guess I am off to send my iPod to iPod Hospital.
Have a great weekend,
Chris

Wet hands on clicker now menu button no longer works

I used the clicker wheel on my ipod mini with wet hands. now thew menu button no longer functions and I cannot move backwards? Any clues

Same thing happened to me (actually, I didn't have wet hands, but I could neither get back to the menu NOR could I shut down the mini). I did all the usual things (reset, restore, etc, etc) but nothing worked.
SHORT TERM:
I (and others with the same problem) found that you can 'back up' through your menus again by switching the HOLD button (to HOLD and back again, fairly quickly). Once you get used to it, it works every time. As far as turning it off, if I reset the mini, then I could turn it off. BIG HASSTLE, but it kept the mini working.
LONG TERM:
Mine was out of warrenty (however, my credit card is one that extends the warrenty for a year). So I went through the hassle of returning to Apple, paying $200 (yeah, you got that right, the same as a new mini). I just received my new (probably refurbished) mini back yesterday. Thankfully, I've finished all the paperwork, and expect my credit card company to pay me the $200 !

Why does my button no longer work in Flash Player 8?

Hi,
I have built a site in Flash MX a while ago. Now I’d
like to upgrade things a bit while testing the new Adobe Flash CS3.
To be able to use a new function (“anti-alias for
readability”) the program warns me that “this feature
is not supported by Flash Player 6. To use this feature, you must
target Flash player 8.”
So I change the setting to Flash Player 8, leaving
Actionscript to version 2.0.
However, now one of my main menu buttons no longer works!
When I change settings back to Flash Player 6, things are fine
again. What am I overlooking?
Below is the script for the button (which has an instance
name). Does anything change with the actionscript in CS3?
Thanks for any advise!
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
_root.Play();

That's it! It works fine again. Thanks a lot, you made my
night!

My Firefox 8 Menu button doesn't work and neither does the right click in the firefox window

It seems that all the drop down buttons in the browser, including the bookmarks dropdown menu in the toolbar and the main menu button (firefox button), no longer work. This happened after i upgraded to firefox 8. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times while also deleting user preferences and stuff but that doesnt work. But everything seems to work in safe mode properly. So i disabled all my addons in the normal mode but it still doesn't solve the problem. My right-click doesnt work anywhere in the browser window either. And also, although the menus are not showing, it seems that they are still there because if i click in the area that a button would be in the function activates, this is how i was able to disable the addons.

Perhaps, it's a multi-monitor setup issue. I noticed that the problem happens on my right monitor, but it doesn't happen on my left monitor! I have an nvidia card.

My lock button no longer works on my ipod touch and now i have all kinds of problems with it freezing and kicking me out of apps. Is there any way to get this fixed and were would i go to get it fixed?

Please Help!!!! I have an ipod touch 4th gen. and since the last update the lock button no longer works, this has caused it to have a lot of problems now like freezing all the time, kicking me out of almost all my apps, some times even when if locks on its own its not locked and buttons with be pushed in my pocket, and this causes the battiery to die fast. I really love my ipod and would like to just get it fix if possible for a reasonable about of money. Anyone know of a place I can get it fixed in Ft Lauderdale Fl area or is there something I can do?

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?

Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

HT2188 home button no longer working after upgrade to io6 on my iphone4...any ideas to fix this problem

home button no longer working after upgrade to ios6 software on my iphone4..anything i can do to frix this or apple send me a new device. phone no good without a home button

The button's broken. S**t happens. Apple will replace your phone. If in waranty it will be free of charge. If not, you will pay $149.
You can elect to have it repaired at a 3rd party shop near you if you choose, but this will void all warranty if there's any left.

My ipod touch 4th generation keeps lagging, all the apps crash, nothing will update and my home button no longer works?

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs

Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs. Not just that memory of previous URLs got wiped out, it still doesn't remember the ones I've typed in since I updated. And No back button, it's really hard to use.
I went thru all the settings and could not find a way to fix this problem. What is up? I've never had this happen in any version of IE, FF, or Chrome.
Can I get back previous version? Until then, it's Chrome and IE for me.
I'll be happy to delete any plug-ins if it will make this problem go away.
THANKS in advance!

Thanks. This didn't solve te problem but it seemed to have solved itself. all of a sudden it started working properly, without me even closing FF and starting it up again. Thanks Cor-el, if it happens again I'll try your solution.

Yahoo mail page sign-in button no longer works

I suddenly can't sign into my yahoo accounts on my iPad 1. It seems the sign-in button no longer works, when I tap it or use the "go" button, nothing happens - no error message, nothing. I've re-set the iPad and I still can't sign in. I can get to all of the other Yahoo web pages, just not my mail. I can sign into other websites no problem. Any suggestions? Is my iPad now completely obsolete?
I can sign in without a problem on my iMac.
Thanks,
Kathleen

Reset your iPad. This will do no harm and you will not lose any data. See if that works. If not, clear Safari and then try again.
Reset 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.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.

The back button no longer works. I have disabled all add-ons, rebooted & reset the defaults for the browser and nothing has changed. This happens on all webpages.How do I get the back button to light up again?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Standby button no longer works after upgraded OS from 4.... to 5.0.0.484

Hi all. I am new to BB and have a Tour 9630. After "upgrading" my OS yesterday the former "standby" (mute) button no longer works. I tried to find a place to assign "standby" mode to the left or right shortcut key but no luck. Also, I noticed my Opera browser is significantly different (and more annoying) because clicking the trackball goes back.... Any thoughts on either issue would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, so apparently I haven't looked at my phone too closely. The old Pearl model only had one button up top, which you used for both mute and standby. The new Tour apparently has two- the one on the right is the mute and the one on on the left is the lock.
On the Pearl you could press * to lock and *+[Green talk button] to unlock. On the Tour the only option you have to unlock is to press the lock/unlock button on the top left. It's pretty clear when you look at the top of the phone. However I usually have mine in a silicone case, which does have markings but they're very hard to make out.
So the phone locks and unlocks just fine, even after the OS 5.0 upgrade. However, I'm still wary about getting rid of standby mode if, in fact, it is a battery-saver. (Which I'm pretty sure it is)
Bring back standby mode, Blackberry!!

Back button no longer works in some specific situations; also, it appears that clearing cache isn't working.

The "back" button no longer works in certain specific situations on certain specific websites -- especially on the very website on which I need to use it very frequently. This has been going on for a couple of weeks.
Also, I noticed today that the "clear cache now" command doesn't seem to be working. Formerly, when I cleared the cache, I had to re-login to those websites that normally "remember" my login (because clearing the cache erased that "memory") -- but today, after using the "clear cache now" command, those websites still "remember" my login, which leads me to believe the cache didn't get cleared. Is there any other way to check whether it got cleared?
I was attempting to clear the cache in the faint hope that this might help the above "back" button problem, as no one has yet given me a solution for this that has worked. One person suggested having Firefox re-create the possibly damaged "places.sqlite" and "places.sqlite-journal" files. I tried this, but there was no change to the problem.
I think this problem started around the time I had a few Firefox crashes while using YouTube and doing something else on the computer at the same time.
I just today learned about the "crash signature" -- how to look it up, and to include it in a forum question. However, the crash log did not show these recent crashes, only some others from a few months ago. So, I'm unable to show the crash signature for this.
I'm guessing there's a chance that upgrading to a newer version of Firefox might fix this problem -- but I hesitate to do that, because it occurs to me that it also may be possible that changing the program before fixing this might make it harder to fix. I don't have enough knowledge of this software to know which is more likely, and I don't like to try things at random, in ignorance of the possible results. Also, after reading today several other forum comments from people who are unhappy with their Firefox upgrades, I hesitate to upgrade for that reason, also.

Sleep button no longer works

Sleep button no longer works, how do I get it fixed and how much will it cost. It is a repalcement from Sprint insurance and only hac it about 5 months.

The warranty will cover that is the device is only three months old and if the defect was not caused by accidental damage - like you droppoing it. I'm not accussing you of anything, I am just explaining how the warranty works.
I would try resetting the device - even though you need the sleep button to perform the reset. See if that works and then see if it helps at all.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
I would also try the iPad without the cover for a while to see if the cover is playing games with the lock feature.
