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.

Fix stucked power button on iPod touch

Hi,
I was using my iPod Touch 4th generation normally and then I tried to lock it but the power button was stucked even if I push hard it wont work.
The iPod still has the Repairs and service coverage (1 year limited Warranty) if I take it to an Apple Store, the repair will cost?
Thanks.

Is the power button stuck because of a drop and damage to the metal casing? Or did the power button just malfunction on its own with no damage that you caused?
If you are under warranty and there is no damage inflicted by user, then Apple store should just give you a new/refurb ipod. You will have to restore all your apps and music so I would back up your touch before you take it into the apple store.
If the case is damaged then Apple won't cover it. They will charge you depending on the size of the iPod touch, 8gb, 32gb, or 64gb. If the case is damaged I would send it to iresq as I have sent multiple apple products to them and they can not be beat on price and customer service. Much cheaper than apple every time I have delt with them. They only do work for USA customers (not sure where you are locate).
I hope this helps, good luck.

Can't get landscape mode with Qmix app on my iPod touch 4th generation....

I cannot get my iPod touch to go into landscape mode either with the calculator or with my Persons Qmix software app. I have no problems on the iPhone or iPad, but it has all of a sudden stopped working. I tried rebooting the OS, a reset and the orientation lock is off on the unit...help?

Well, it went into landscape mode and I used it with QMix several times, then all of a sudden it would not go into landscape mode for ANYTHING not just QMix and Ihave tried double tapping on the bottom and making sure the orientation lock was not on......any other ideas? Im thinking i may have to send it to Apple to get this resolved...

[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.

Performance and Graphical Issues with iOS 4.3 and IPod Touch 4th Generation

My Ipod touch is only a week old and I just updated it to iOS 4.3 from the original firmware, but after I updated the device it seemed to start generating white lines in the status bar area unexpectedly. Then at the same time my device would stop responding for a couple of seconds or become extremely slow. I also notice that my album art is misplaced and/or obscured and nothing is misplaced on iTunes. I've restored it two to three times. The device can not be downgraded so I'm not sure what to do.

Hmmmm... you know what... some of my album art was misplaced also... mainly for my "Unknown Artists" but still... Oh yeah and everyone knows about the glitch on the top bar, theres a post with about 20,000 views on it so maybe you should check there

How to fix an ipod touch 4th generation that will not turn on or charge

My ipod touch 4th generation randomly turned off and will not turn back on or charge. I have tried restarting it, resetting it, and letting it "charge" for weeks but nothing has worked. It is not registered by itunes when plugged into the computer either and there hasn't been anything dramatically done to it. I also cannot do anything to update its software since it isn't being recognized by itunes or turning on.
Thanks in advance to whoever has helpful information!

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What type network is yu router set up for? The 4G iPod can only connect and see 2.4 GHZ networl like B, G and the 2,4 GHz N. There is also a 5 GHz N but the iPod will not even seethat network.
