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.

TA38625 how do you fix the device if the sleep/wake and the home button doesn't work and you are stuck at one page?

i need my phone to start working again normally but i cant seem to find out how to fix it.

I fail to see how oyu can even use your phone if both buttons are not working. You would never be able to minimise one app and elect to use another. I think it is time you got your phone fixed or replaced

I have virgin mobile iphone that i found,the power button doesn't work and the phone is now saying disalbed what can i do to fix it

I have a virgin moble iphone that i found, the power button doesn't work and the phone is saying disabled,what can i do to fix it?

Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:

RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- 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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem besides the button and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ran update this morning. Now power button doesn't work and soft boot brings to the battery/cord icon as if there's no power. Can't get into anything. Any help on this?

Update for Windows was run this morning---it actually made me run it twice. I was initially able to use my phone but now I get nothing but the battery/power cord symbol. The power button doesn't work at all. I have tried soft boot of the down volume and power button. Seems to reboot but same screen appears. I cannot access anything on the phone. Is there any help on this?

Hey there, javadan! Thanks for letting us know about the problem with your software upgrade. I'm very sorry for the issues you're having. Based on the two attempts to process, I would have to say there was a problem with both install attempts. You may need to process a factory reset. Which model device do you have?

Power Button doesn't work and cannot Log Out.

Hi,
Strange thing: my power button does not work and I cannot even log out or restart or shut it down from the menu! Everytime I need to restart, I have to either force it or hold the button for five minutes, but nothing else works!
Your help is much appreciated.
Have a great time!
Best regards,
David

Hi, bruno7.
1. Have you tried "Mac OS: Apple Pro Keyboard Shortcuts for Shut Down and Restart"?
2. What changes did you make to your Mac before this problem arose?
3. Are you using FruitMenu? If so, check for updates, disable it, or uninstall it.
4. After you next shut down, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
5. An errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
6. If none of the above, when you attempt to select Shut Down or Restart from the Apple menu and nothing happens, immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues.
Good luck!

Lock/power button doesn't work and phone tries to turn itself off

So this morning i woke up and for some reason my power/lock button on my iphone 4s doesn't work, but that's not the biggest problem because there are work around's. the real weird thing is that now my phone just decides its going to shut down. It will randomly bring up the screen to swipe to shut down even when im not even holding my phone. Unfortunately my phone is out of warranty so I am getting ready to do a restore but other than that i have no idea what else i might be able to do.
any help is welcomed.

Here is Apple's article on jailbreaking. It is against the terms of this Apple forum to help with jailbroken devices. Jailbreaking frequently causes problems.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

My Firefox 8 Menu button doesn't work and neither does the right click in the firefox window

It seems that all the drop down buttons in the browser, including the bookmarks dropdown menu in the toolbar and the main menu button (firefox button), no longer work. This happened after i upgraded to firefox 8. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times while also deleting user preferences and stuff but that doesnt work. But everything seems to work in safe mode properly. So i disabled all my addons in the normal mode but it still doesn't solve the problem. My right-click doesnt work anywhere in the browser window either. And also, although the menus are not showing, it seems that they are still there because if i click in the area that a button would be in the function activates, this is how i was able to disable the addons.

Perhaps, it's a multi-monitor setup issue. I noticed that the problem happens on my right monitor, but it doesn't happen on my left monitor! I have an nvidia card.

MENU button doesn't work and iPod won't turn off!!

For some reason, my menu button won't work nor will my iPod turn off when I hold down the play/pause button.
I've reset it, updated it, restored it and nothing is working. I bought it in the States last year so have no idea how the warranty works or where to get it serviced since I don't live near London.
Any help would be appreciated

Ring your local Apple dealer, My older mini done the same thing several times before it just died on me and never turned back on. So if its still covered under warrenty i seriously think you should ring apple and get it serviced to see whats wrong, it could be just a fault with the click wheel
Try letting the battery run completly dead, then put it into a Wall charger or computer USB cable and then move the hold on and off, then try reseting it by pressing the menu and select buttons at the same time.

Iphone power button doesn't work and LED is on

Have a black 64gb iphone 4s, (ios 6.1.3), no case - for about 1yr4mo. last week i fell asleep on the phone and when i woke up, the power button wasn't working. I left the phone plugged in for the rest of the night, and when i got up it was working again. Last night I once again fell asleep on my iphone, and woke up to find both the power button not working AND the LED light is stuck on... its kind of like at maybe 5% brightness. I put the phone in a bag of rice for the rest of the night, but this morning now, the light is still on and LED still on. Phone never officially got wet, but I suspect there was enough moisture to potentially cause problems.
phone is out of warranty and i'm trying to figure out how long i wait until i start poking around at it to see if i can do anything with it...
anyone have any ideas?

I can't print anymore, the "help" button doesn't work, and Firefox always sets to "Never Remember History" even if I change it

SO many issues with Firefox now! For one, it crashes quite a bit. I submit the crash report, and go from there. Keeps happening. But the main thing is this:
I go to "Options" and under "Privacy" it has "Never remember history" - I change it to "use custom settings for history", hit "ok" and then when I go back to it, it's back on "never remember history" already. What gives?
The issues I'm having right now is that I used to click on Print in my email (Yahoo) and pop-up blocker would stop it, but a dialog would pop up saying "try again", and I would hit that, and a separate window would open where I could print the email. Now, when I click on print, NOTHING happens. No box, no changes whatsoever. No pop-ups blocked, nothing at all. I mean, the button for "print" doesn't even react like I clicked on it. Nothing happens.
The other issue is that when there's a text box, if I start to type my email address, it suggests my email address. It never used to do this! I don't want this, either. How can I stop the suggesting of my email address. I don't want it to remember what I typed!
Another issue with Firefox is that when I click on the "menu" button in the top right, there's a question mark that says "open help menu" at the bottom. When I click on that, the help menu is EMPTY. I included a picture so you can see.
I've "reloaded Firefox", as well as downloaded another copy and actually reinstalled it. All these errors keep happening. How can I get them to stop or function correctly? What's causing them to work all wonky?

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

My ipod turned off and won't turn back on, help! Home button doesn't work and neither does Recboot!

Hello! So I've had my Generation 5 IPOD for nearly two years. Tonight after a shower I tried to charge my IPOD (thinking it had just died because it was short on battery anyway) but it didn't turn on. I would reboot it by pressing the power and home button but sad to say, my home button stopped working about a month ago. : ( After this, I tried connecting it to a charger, two computers AND I downloaded Recboot with the extensions for a PC/Windows, it still did not want to connect. I'm not sure what to do besides maybe taking it to a Apple Store and getting the home button fixed and try to reboot it manually as I always have in the past. Any advice? Right now it's black with no signs of connecting to any machines. If I can't get the home button fixed, could I wait until the battery drains for it to just get recharge? If so how long does it take for the IPOD battery to just die so I can do this? Granted it was always sorta dying before this happened (it was red.) so it shouldn't or wouldn't take too long right?
Please! : ( Any help would be appreciated. I live in a small town and the closet Apple store is about an hour away.

If the screen and iPod does not show any life then letting the batter drain will not do anything.
If you tried another cable and tried ReBoot on another computer and still problem then your iPod has to be repaired/replaced

I click on a button to bring up a PDF form to print, button doesn't work and I get "javascript history.go(0).

I just this week started to use Firefox 4.0 Beta 12. Our golf organization has a website that has tournament entry forms in the PDF format. You click on a button and get the form ready to print.
When I click on the button, I don't get the form and the following message shows up-"Javascript history.go(0)

Hi Idreier,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
Hopefully this helps!
