Hold buttn doesn't work

I can't get the hold button to work on my new 30 gig video ipod. Even with the boutton on hold and the orange band showing, all the buttons on the clikckwheel still work - so if something bumps into it in my bag, it goes on and wastes the battery. I have reset the ipod. What can I do? Has anyone solved this problem?

if your ipod was laser engraved by apple themselves then you can send your ipod in for repairs and if they can't fix your problem and send you a new ipod in return then it too will be engraved the same as your current ipod. also even you've gotten your ipod custom engraved by someone other than apple you can still send it in for repairs if it's still under warranty but the catch is that if they can't repair it and send you a new one instead then the new one won't be engraved at all.

Hold switch doesn't work

got my new iPod, applied my invisible shield, and the come to find out that the hold switch doesn't work
so i drained the battery completely, recharged it, and it started working. but now, out of no where, it stopped working again. just found it on hold and playing in my jacket pocket.
so this time, i tried doing a software restore and drained the battery once (though i didn't let it sit as long as i did last time before charging again) and its still no go. i'm draining it again, and its nearly dead, but still trys to turn on if you press the menu button even if the hold switch is turned on.
anyone had a similar issue? any ideas?

I guess you may need to get it replaced with new one.
Just visit Apple store, if you live by.
Or you can call Apple.
I saw other people's threads complaining hold switch malfunction.
I believe Apple is currently offering no-question repalcement event on any hardware related 5G iPod/video.

HOLD BUTTON DOESN'T WORK AND IT'S STUCK ON HOLD!!!!!

I thought I had broken my ipod because I could not turn it on, but then when I plugged it into the charger it turned on. I then realised that the hold button did not work and it was stuck on hold so I could not take it off hold to use it. Does anybody know a way of solving this problem???

b Does the computer recognize it?
yes
No, it does not. That is why iTunes does not recognize it.
The iPod turns on when you plug it in because it is getting power from the cable. This does not mean the computer recognizes it.

Frame Hold feature doesn't work in PE8

In one of my video clips, I want to freeze a frame in the middle, and then have that frame frozen until the end of the clip. The Frame Hold feature is supposed to accomplish this. However, I can't get it to work in Windows 7. Here are the steps I've taken, which is right out of the PDF manual for PE8:
(1)     I open up a clip in the Preview Monitor.
(2)     I position the CTI where the frame is to be held, then I mark it with Marker 0 (zero).
(3)     I exit the Preview Monitor.
(4)     I select the video clip, go to Clip, Video Options, Frame Hold. I check "Hold on," and specify Marker 0 (zero).
But when I play the clip back, all of it is completely frozen -- before the zero marker and after the zero marker. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but this didn't help. I have 4 gigs of memory, and a 500+ gig hard drive. My video drivers are current and up-to-date. Does anyone have any clues as to why I'm not able to get the Frame Hold feature to work?

This is an old thread, but I have a related question.
First, what exactly is "Frame Hold" in PrE12? If I search the PDF Manual (AKA "Tutorial"), there are zero occurrences.
I gather from the above that it's supposed to allow the user to designate one or more frames at one or more points in the clip that will stop the action for a designated period of time.
I have been accomplishing the same effect with the Freeze Frame function, which inserts a BMP image in the clip. (It also allows the bmp to be saved to a folder on the computer.) I don't like this because the insertion chops up the audio and sound tracks, creating gaps that are hard to fix later. (See one of my other posts for more details on this.)
So the Frame Hold option intrigues me with the hope that it would be less disruptive to the work flow.
The other point of interest comes from Bill Hunt's comment above:
"In PrE, there is a little "camera" icon, that produces a still image from the Video. Select the Frame (last Frame in this example), and output a still image. Cannot recall the exact choices in PrE 8, but I think that they are BMP, or TIFF."
The Freeze Frame in PrE12 only allows BMP; I would love to have a TIFF option, and I'm hoping that Frame Hold might allow it. (I thought could export a still image as TIFF, but I find that JPEG is the only option, and in any case that is time-wasting if you have a lot of frames to capture.)
Yet another question: PrE has no little camera icon that I can find. One has to go to Tools > Freeze Frame (or use a shortcut key, which I do). Then the choice is either Export as BMP or Insert in video. (If you want to do both, choose Export first, since Insert will close the dialog box and you will have to start over to do the Export.) Has the camera icon (which had the obvious advantage of being simple, quick and intuitive) been replaced?
Bottom line: does Frame Hold (supposedly) accomplish the same as Insert Freeze Frame, without the disruption of other tracks? If so (or even if not), how? I have futzed around with it for quite some time and have no idea of how it is supposed to function. I have tried setting inpoint, outpoint, marker zero, etc. and no matter what I do, the video keeps on rolling right through that point when I get there.
It's frustrating to have a feature that is not searchable in the "Manual" and doesn't lend itself to trial and error discovery.

Hold button doesn't work

I have an almost 1 year old 5th generation iPod.
When I move the hold button so the iPod will be on hold, the wheel doesn't lock nor does the lock appear on the iPod. This happens irregularly. So I might be using my iPod one day and the hold button works, and then an hour later it doesn't. But now it's not working at all.
I always try restarting the iPod but nothing happens.

I'VE FIXED IT!
IMine has been locked for 2 days... I researched the nnet for Hacks and other things and finally found some other folk with the same problem. After trying the press 'the side till it clicks' trick, (didn't work... no click) I kept experimenting with various firm but gentle presses... on side, back, etc etc... In the end this is what I did to unlock it...
* Place "Locked in Hold" iPod on it's edge on a firm desk.
* Glently but firmly press down on the edge with the palm of my hand, squeezing the unit against a desk...
* and at the same time, stroke the touch wheel...
* When (if?) the backlight comes on the iPod starts to respond to the touch wheel...
* and while still pressing firmly, move the hold switch from On to Off!
Take care not to slip and slam your unit onto the desk, or do anything that could physically break anything inside, or crack the screen, etc.
I recommend you avoid anything to do with screwdrivers

5G ipod hold switch doesn't work during video

Often, when I start playing a video, the hold switch has zero effect; it never locks the controls. Then later, when I start playing music, the hold switch starts working again. I have seen this behavior enough that I now believe it is a software bug, and not a hardware issue with my iPod.
Any truth to this? Or am I seeing a hardware anomaly and I should swap it out (its under 30 days).

Switched it out at the apple store, hardware was defective....

Hold switch doesn't work....can i fix it?

I just went and got my ipod repaired but they just gave me a brand new one and the hold switch DID work...for the frist day. then it worked occasionally, and now it dooesn't work at all and i've had it for ABOUT a week. can i fix it myself or should i give it back to them to be repaired or to get ANOTHER new one?

I, personally, wouldn't tempt fate and risk invalidating your warranty - just take it back!!

Hold Button Doesn't Work for Random Periods of Time

Over the past few months I have been having massive issues with my ipod.
It all started about 4 months ago when the hold function, without me turning it on with the switch, began to turn itself on. This would happen at random periods, for random periods. Sometimes it goes on for a couple of hours, sometimes for a couple of seconds. When the ipod began to get this problem I had been using it consistently for about a year.
Resetting it does not help - I have tried it countless times. I have noticed it tends to do it more when the battery is not full, but it still has issues when it is. I tried restoring it last night to no avail - it didn't fix the problem.
My warranty has expired so I don't wish to waste my time and money sending it to apple if it is a simple issue.
Does anyone know what's causing the problem? Anyone have a DIY solution?
Thanks in advance and happy easter.

i used my ipod for a while. and yesterday it was on low battery, very low.
and the HOLD button, doesnt worked!
i charged my ipod but the hold button never work again!!
i reset it with the soft and with the buttons, but nothing!

thanks.

I do not know what the hold button is.
There is the Home button on the frond of the iPod on the bottom center of the screen.
There is also the Power/on/off button on the upper edge.

Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared. That doesn't work anymore. How do you turn off the apps wit

My Ipad2 won't turn off. I've tried the reset method, holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work. I'm on version 5.1.1 and all other functions work except that I cannot get onto the internet via wi-fi either. Help ??

My Ipad2 won't turn off. I have tried the reset method by holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work. I can't get onto the internet via wi-fi either (don't have a 3G card fitted). All other functions seem to be working OK including charging. Not had this problem before, but I recently upgraded software to 5.1.1 so is there a bug in there somewhere?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

[Photoshop CC 2014] Click&hold-move-release doesn't work when adding adjustment layer from the layer panel

When selecting a menu item I used to click the left mouse button and hold it down, move the pointer to the desired menu item and release the mouse button. Everything works fine in the mine menu, but there's a problem when adding new adjustment layer from the layer panel: when I release the button nothing happens, I have to press the button again. In previous PS version it worked fine. How can I fix this?

I don't think that is user fixable, meaning you'll have to wait till adobe fixes it with an update.

Phone won't make outbound calls. can't call verizon support. this after being on hold for 17 minutes in an attempt to fix voicemail notification. this is a nightmare and Verizon is unreachable. Any way to get Verizon wireless to fix my service when they can't be called (because their phone service doesn't work)?

Well 1, I guess it's not that important to you, 2, customer support generally closes at 11pm in the time zone you are in, 3, toll free and local calls are free in hotels, 4 there is limited support after hours.
