Buttons getting stuck down
Since 2.0.2 (and even before I think) buttons have been getting stuck down after I press them. This doesn't happen very often- maybe once or twice a day- but this is a very major issue IMHO! Today I was in notes, looking at one of my notes (a to-do list) and I deleted a few characters. The delete button got stuck down and deleted almost everything in the note before I could get out of it. I am pretty ****** off because there was a lot of important information in that note.
Is this a known issue, and will it be fixed soon?
Have you tried doing a hard reset of the phone? (Hold down the sleep/wake button on the top right of the phone and the home button until you see the apple logo)

My iPod lock button is stuck down. How do I get it out?
Okay, so I went to turn my iPod on and found my lock button was stuck down into the housing of the iPod, I cannot get it out and cannot turn my iPod on. Should I just buy a new iPod or is there a way of repairing it?

My screen is cracked and my home button is stuck down. Where can I get this fixed?
On my iPod touch 4th G my screen broke in the bottom right corner and there are spider cracks all the way up to the top of my iPod screen. Also, now my home button is stuck down; a shard of glass probably is preventing the button from popping back up. Where can I get this fixed?
Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending up the capacity.

Someone else has a problem with volume button getting stuck?
My volume button gets stuck when I keep pressing it, it's software or hardware issue?
Restore as new, if that fixes the problem it is something in your settings or backup that was causing the issue.
If it does not fix the problem, you have a hardware issue. -

Iphone 4 power button is stuck down and iphone won't turn on
My iPhone 4 power button is stuck down, and it won't come back up. The next best part is, my phone is either off or dead i don't know which, and i plug it into my computer/wall charger and nothing happens.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
- 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. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My home button gets stuck and some days it wont work at all what shall i do?
My home button is not repsonsive, I have booked it at the Genuis Bar to be look at as it it still under waranty, but until then there is a way of adding a virtual button that allows you to bypass the home button. Thought I would share this with you all, as after looking everywhere on the internet I havn't found anyone mention it.
First make sure you are on version 5
got to SETTING>GENERAL>ACCESSIBILITY>ASSISTIVE TOUCH
You will then have a button on the bottom right hand corner screen that is always there (you can move it around if its in the way). Pressing it will allow you to go to the home screen. -

my home button has been getting stuck i have to hold it down for awhile before anything pops up on my screen. The top button works, and i have done a soft reset it will work for a couple of min then revert back to how it was..
Sounds like you're developing a hardware failure. Bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

I have and IPad 2. I realized (while travelling by air) that my power button was stuck in the down position. I cannot power off my IPad. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue and what you may have done to rectify? I think Apple may be aware of this problem. I stopped into an Apple store and they were not supprised, but I could not make an appt because I was traveling and did not live in the area. Thanks for any ideas.
Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again! -
IPad Mini decrease volume button suddenly stuck down... Overuse?
A few nights ago, as I was watching YouTube, my decrease volume button on my 1st Gen iPad Mini got jammed down suddenly... It literally was working perfectly moments before. If you press down hard you can still turn the volume down, but it seems to just be stuck down. My Mini has always been in a case (looks brand new, no dents and such) and the power, increase volume buttons still 'click' and work perfectly but I've had it since Christmas 2012 so I think it could just be overuse. Any ideas on how to repair it?
Thank you!Hello thisiscourtney-
I’m not sure if Apple still performs repairs on 1st Gen iPads anymore, but my recommendation would be to take it to an Apple store or contact Apple directly here for more assistance.
My guess is that most likely it would be uneconomical to fix, but that’s obviously your decision.
Thanks for posting!
