Center button not working

My ipod nano 1gb plays, but the center button won't allow me to select specific songs. It doesn't recognize when I press to select from the menu (ie., "music >"). I've reset it several times... any ideas?

Perhaps it is time for a full restore?

2nd Gen iPod center button not working

I have tried just about everything to get the center button to work. It has stopped on me once before, but it was a long time ago and I can't remember what I did to fix it.
Every other button works just not the center button. I have tried restoring it, resetting it, and toggling the hold button. But to no avail it will not work.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

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.
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
CAUTION
Before you restore/update the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to your iTunes library. See:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

Center Button Not Working Correctly

I just bought a 30gb Ipod today and when I operate the wheel and center button, about half of the time the center button doesnt work until I touch the wheel.
Example. I wheel down to "music" and click center and it goes to the next screen, then wheel down to "album" and nothing happens until I touch the wheel again. This happens maybe half the time. Am I doing something wrong? Should I return it? It is a small problem, but an annoying one, and for a brand new $250 device, I want it to be perfect.

Hi Nick,
This could be either a more software-oriented problem with your iPod, or hardware.
Let's start out by resetting your iPod. To reset an iPod:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times. (be sure to leave it on the white side of the switch, which is teh off position)
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
You might need to attempt at this several times. For more effect, try connecting your iPod to a power source while you try with the resetting.
Also, you could try restoring your iPod to factory settings. For instructions on how to restore an iPod, check out this Knowledge Base article:

thanks for your reply but I need more specific operation.
maybe I am not very clear about the problem one. I mean when I run the code in standard mode, if I click the browse button, a window will pop out and I can choose a video file from my local harddisk. but if I run it in "web start execution" mode and "run in browser" mode. the browse button make no response when I click it.

Central button Not working ..... now ? 5 buttons not working !!! What can i do?

Hello all,
I bought my blackberry torch in September 2011 and two months ago the center button was problem (bellow the screen) and not working at all. so I gave it to a company to fix it and told me to round 45 euros to fix it. also told me that it will be ready in the new year because they would have holiday. The man there made a report saying the problem with the center button (only had this problem, I note) and now they brought me back and told me they can not fix it and they send it to blackberry but even they could not fix it. Enable my phone front of them and did not operate any button of 5 bellow the screen (two to the right of the center button that had problems and two to the left). I told them to send it back to the technician because when I gave to you to fix it only one button was not working and now none of the 5.
After nearly two months they brought me back and told me ''we can not do anything ....'' So,five buttons not working.
What can I do in this case????
Not got it from there yet to see what I can do or what can I say?
I think I'm right. It is reasonable to I want my phone back with only one button broken as I gave it to them and not with extra 4 buttons not work.
Sorry for my english, I hope you understand

A battery pull does nothing to improve the performance of the battery, it clears your phone's cache of unwanted fragments that have accumulated and this improves the performance of your phone. I doubt it's as simple as this but it wouldn't be the first time I've heard of a service centre charging money for repairs when a simple battery pull would have done the trick.
When you get your phone back (working properly or not), I suggest trying a battery pull.

Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
any ideas?

Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based. Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

Iphone 4 home button not working, called never fixed, then cracked screen before bringing it back again, will they blame the cracked screen if i bring it back?

I bought an iPhone 4 less than a year ago, then one day the home button randomly stopped working, I bought the warranty so I decided to call in and see what was wrong with it. The girl said that restoring the phone would correct the problem which it did. But it is only a temporary fix, it happens more often now. So I was meaning to call in soon, but the other day my phone fell out of my pocket IN CASE from a foot height and cracked the screen. I nearly threw up. All the years I have had a phone I have never cracked or broken one, strongest screen my ***. Anyway, if I contact them again now will they fix the home button problem? or will they say that the cracked screen is obviously the cause of the home button not working? which it is not!! I don't care about the screen being cracked its not on the actual screen just on the side so its irrelevant to me. Plus I heard it is outrageosly pricey to replace.

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.1

I've just upgrade my iphone 4 to OS 4.3.1 and I'm having issues with home button not working. Need to hit it several times before I can close an app or wake the iphone. Any one having this issue?

It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1

Iphone 4 volume buttons not working

iphone 4 volume and mute buttons not working, checked all settings they are all fine and when headphones in it works??? When I take out headphones the volum buttons do not work, when phone rings or text receives only vibrates???? HELP!!!!

This could be due to some debris or dirt inside the headphones jack that makes the iPhone think that the headphones are connected even when they are not.
Try to see if you can clean the jack being very careful, with canned air as sold in electronics store. Some people have been successful by introducing and withdrawing the headphones jack several times in a row to displace whatever is in there if it is lodged in.
Avoid introducing anything else like a pointed object. You could damage the jack.
If all of this does not work, I would try first resetting the phone by holding the home button and the power button together for about 15 seconds or until the whilte apple appears, then waiting until the phone resets. If the problem continues after this, take it to an Apple Store to see what they believe should be done.
