Center or in short Play/Pause button on iPod Shuffle 4th Generation Late 2012 is not working

Does Apple replace my iPod Shuffle because the center or play/pause button is not working but all buttons are working except for the center button my iPod Shuffle is Silver and it has a scratches and a little dents and the back was pop up? what should i do help me does Apple replace it for free n warranty?
and if it has a Apple Care protection plan for iPod will Apple replace it for free?

If you did a Restore in iTunes, and it continues to have the problem, if it is covered under warranty or AppleCare, you should probably contact Apple tech support directly (not the users forum).  If you have an Apple Store nearby, a good way to do this is to make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there.  You don't have to have a reservation, but you can make one at the store's web page

  • IPod Shuffle 4th Generation's control buttons not working.

    My iPod Shuffle 4th Generation's control buttons are not working. Sometimes it works after formatting it stopped again.. Please give a solution ASAP...

    Hello.. When I switch on the iPod Green light appears. after 10 - 15 secs 3 times orange light blinks... After that I wont be able to increase / decrease the volume nor change the song. If I need to change the song, I should switch off n switch it on back. Actually I washed the iPod. It was in my jeans pocket.. Put in the washing maching without knowing that iPod was in the pocket. Charge also not staying long...
    **Warranty is there for the iPod. Unfortunately it has two dents, so its not eligible for the replacement..

    Hi Daisymae3,
    The iPod shuffle does not use Windows Media Player to sync, it uses Apple’s iTunes application, available for free from this web site -
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    See also the manual for your iPod shuffle -

    Specifically Chapter 3 - Setting up the iPod shuffle.
    iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content
    on iPod shuffle.

  • My iPod Shuffle 4th Generation refuses to sync up the PC plays count

    As soon as a new podcast episode arrives in my Podcasts iTunes library, it shows up in that library with a plays count = 0.   When I start up iTunes and update the podcasts, I then copy all new (unplayed) podcasts to a Playlist named "1-UnheardPodcasts", then mark all unplayed podcasts in that playlist as Played, thereby setting the play count on those podcast episodes to 1.   I then copy a bunch of podcasts to my iPod shuffle 4th gen and wander off cackling into the night to listen to those podcasts.  In the fullness of time, I return to my PC, fire up iTunes, plug in my shuffle and see that the shuffle shows the plays count (on the episodes I have listened to) as 2.   I then sync the iPod to iTunes but the plays count in my "1-UnheardPodcasts" playlist and in the podcasts library both stubbornly remain set to 1.   I then have to manually pretend to listen to the podcasts in iTunes again, fast forward to the end of each podcast, let it finish, then the plays counts everywhere are set to 2.  I can then delete the plays count 2 episodes from my "1-UnheardPodcasts" playlist and all is right with the world and I'm ready for new episodes to randomly appear in my podcasts library.
    My older first generation shuffles (both of which died and were replaced by the 4th gen shuffle recently) did not have this problem.  Sync from those would always update the plays count on the iTunes application on my PC to match what it showed for the plays count on the shuffle.
    What's up with that?  Is there any way to fix this?  It happens whether or not I completely fill up the shuffle.
    I also have problems with getting back to where I left off if I stop playing a podcast by pressing the centre button on the iPod face and then try to resume play a few minutes later.  If I shut down the shuffle and restart it, it seems to always resume play from where it left off.
    I've got everything turned on in the iPod settings menu except the thing about reserving disk space for Windows files.
    I've got what claims to be the latest version (11.0.4) of iTunes running under Windows 7 (64 bit) on a BIOSTAR MB with an AMD phenom II X4 820 2.8 GHz quad core processor with 8 GB of RAM and at least 50 GB of free disk space.
    When I click on check for updates with the iPod attached on the iPod settings window, it comes back with "you have the latest version"

    If you are loading the shuffle manually, by dragging podcast episodes to the shuffle in iTunes, that is probably why the playcount does not update in your iTunes library, after playing the podcast episode on the shuffle (and then connecting the shuffle).
    When you use the manual method to load the shuffle, the iTunes library on the computer and the library on the shuffle are separate.  iTunes does not keep the two libraries "in sync."  Therefore, data such as playcount are not synced back to the computer when you connect the shuffle.
    If you set up automatic syncing using the shuffle's Podcasts screen in iTunes, iTunes keeps your iTunes library in sync with the shuffle's library (based on how you set up the shuffle's Podcasts screen).  So data, such as playcount, should sync back to the iTunes library.  In your case, if you maintain a playlist in iTunes with the unheard podcast episodes you want on the shuffle, you can select that playlist on the shuffle's Podcasts screen in iTunes (where it says Include Episodes from Playlists).  iTunes will automatically keep that playlist in sync between your computer and the shuffle.
    NOTE:  If you are currently NOT using automatic syncing, and you also have music on the iPod, you will also need to set up the shuffle's Music screen in iTunes.  When you start using automatic syncing, any content on the shuffle that was loaded manually is replaced.
    The 1st and 2nd gen shuffles used a different very simple software design, compared to other iPods.  They did not have an automatic syncing mode.  You loaded it manually, but it was linked to only one iTunes library at a time.  Therefore, although you loaded it manually, iTunes does keep data (such as playcount) in sync.  On all other iPods, including the newer shuffles, iTunes only keeps the data in sync if you use automatic syncing.

  • How to unjam sleep/power button? iPod touch 4th generation

    A few days ago, I was using my ipod touch 4th generation. It working fine. A minute later, I went to use it again, & for some reason my sleep/power button was jammed. I have to use immense pressure to make it go to sleep. Is there a way I could get it unjammed without opening my iPod? I don't want to risk it breaking it any further. I would take it to the Apple Store, but I don't have warranty on it anymore since I got it a little over a year ago when it first released. My screen is also cracked from last December. Will the Apple Store still fix the sleep/power button and maybe my screen without warranty? & how much will be? Individual or both? Much appreciated!

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.
    Some of the suggestions in the following previous dicussion are also applicable to the power switch.

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation: This Movie Could Not Be Played

    Dear Apple Support Community,
    I'll ask this question here to see if anyone can help me out. I've been having this problem for a while now but it's beginning to get to me. I have 30 films bought straight off iTunes along with 8 TV series totalling at around 40GB. The problem is that every time I sync these films over to my iPod I just get this error when I go to play them: This Movie Could Not Be Played. The video format is correct and they have played on the same iPod before. They are SD if that makes a difference and I have tried every soultion I know of. I have restored to iOS 4.3.5 with no success and have also reset all the settings after scouring the web with no success either. If there is anything I need to do or have missed out that may help me solve this problem please tell me.
    Thanks,
    Alex Holyoake
    Edit: I forgot to mention that it can play music videos just fine, suspiciously...

  • [SOLVED] Luck with playing music from an iPod Touch 4th Generation

    I have tried to play music from clementine (which is my "when the doodoo hits the fan music player") using my iPod because I know how well it syncs.  Unfortunately, I can view my library of music but when I attempt to play a song, it will crash.  On a side note, I have tried the ifuse and git variants of clementine, libimobiledevice, and ifuse with no luck.  Please do not hesitate to notify me of my ignorance if there is a solution located within these forums.
    Anyone willing to give some helpful advice will be much appreciated, thank you.

    It won't work. The music database associated with 4th gen ipod touch hasn't been cracked by the libimobiledevice team. Any device earlier than that will work, as long as the database hasn't been updated past version 4. It is ridiculous considering how long the iPod 4G and iPhone 4 have been out.
    I know how it feels. I have had a 4th gen ipod touch and have always had to sync it in Windows.

  • 30GB Play/Pause button won't work.

    Yes, another iPod Classic's play/pause button is messed up. I got it in March '09 so I believe that's over the 90 day fixing range. I've tried resetting, holding the menu & center button, & all of the suggestions on the Mac site, but it still won't work.
    Any ideas what could be wrong & how to fix it?

    Besides resetting the iPod, have you attempted restoring it? You can do that by clicking the "Restore" button on the the iPod's Summary page in iTunes.
    Assuming that doesn't work, you can check your [warranty status|https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do] to see if you are still covered for hardware repair. I doubt any 30GB iPods are still under warranty, since they were discontinued over two years ago, but you said you got it in March 2009 - did you purchase it used?
    Whether it's under warranty or not, you can always make a Genius Bar appointment at your closest Apple Store and see if they have any other suggestions, free of charge. If it's a hardware problem, they can replace the iPod for you, but there would be a charge to do so if you're out of warranty.

  • Is it possible to change function of Play/Pause buttons on Satellite P100-347

    Hi.
    I would like to know if there is a way of changing the play / pause button on my laptop to stop opening windows media centre. I like to use itunes to listen to my music and the other buttons (back, forward and stop) all work with other programs but there is no way to use the play and pause function without Media Center opening.
    It looks as though you can only change the internet and CD/DVD function in control panel.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Simply answer: No its not possible to change the play / pause buttons functionality
    The Toshiba Controls utility provides two options.
    There you can assign and select a program to internet button and to CD/DVD button.
