Hold no longer functional

My hold button has been working less and less over the past month, and it's absolutely killing my battery life, not to mention the random volume and song changes are very annoying. I've only seen one post about this topic, and it wasn't resolved at all.
I'm rather unsure about what to do, espcially since I'm at the point in my warranty where if I mailed it in and Apple decided I didn't have a problem they'd charge me quite a bit. There also aren't any actual Apple stores in my area.
I'm just wondering what actual path I should pursue to get this resolved. Having looked at what's available, I don't really like any of the options, and would like the opinion someone who has delt with this before.
Thanks.

Well, there aren't any "Apple Stores", but there are some other stores that are liscened by Apple, but I'm not sure if those are as good.
Part of the problem is that while I was filling out the form for the repair request I had no idea what to put. I didn't see anything even close to the problem I had, it seemed like HD failure was the only thing they really had in the form. I guess I should call them, but I read in the warranty that it's not free after 90 days.
Thanks for your help.

I have a Macbook Air that had some coffee spilled on the keyboard and as a result the plus/equals key is no longer functioning. Can I use a program like Ukelele to reprogram a different key to be my plus/equals key? Can I program a function key? key

Water + electronics do not mix. Something was damaged insode, and the logic board may be corroding as is.
Take it to a Genius Bar for an evaluation and repair estimate.
This is accidental damage and not covered by warranty.

Iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
What have you tried?
What happened?

After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?

Siri no longer functions with ios 6.1

I have an iphone4s that I just upgraded the IOS from 6.01 to 6.1 and Siri no longer functions. It just freezes at "what can I help you with" and never does anything or it indicates by voice that there is a problem. Cell WIFI and local WIFI are functioning normally.

I just figured it out, I went into settings and turned Siri off and back on and it seemed to trigger it into working.

Zipeg and limewire no longer functioning (both bounced back).

Greetings,
Zipeg and limewire are no longer functioning on my mac (limewire first, about 3 weeks ago). In fact, i've tried to re-downloaded both softwares but the applications will only bounce back and not functioning. Previously (2 months ago), i have a same problem with MacDJView. Any idea what's wrong with my mac?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Hello n_n:
Some programs will not run if they are located outside of the "/Applications" directory on the
boot volume. I have Zipeg, but I don't have the other programs you use, so I don't know
if they will run on your second partition. My Zipeg install is on my boot drive, I've never
tried to run it on my data partition. I, like you, do have programs located on a second partition,
and every now and then I try to install one there and it will refuse to run, if it does refuse to run,
I go ahead and install it on the boot volume, however the majority of apps don't care where they
are installed.
Did you just install these apps or have they been working and just decided to quit?

In Earthlink Webmail, the "check all" and "delete" button for deleting multiple messages no longer function (although they work in I explorer).

When using the webmail application for earthlink email, the "check all" option to select an entire page of messages at once no longer functions. Same problem with the "delete" buttons that are located at the top and bottom of the page with multiple messages. Consequently, the only way to delete a message is to open the message and delete it in that view -- extremely tedious if there are a lot of messages.
This is a recent change, in the last few days. Everything works fine in I explorer. Earthlink support suggested I start Firefox in safe mode and restore firefox default settings. I went through the process on the help page. It didn't help.
I'll provide the earthlink link, but it is my email page that is the problem.

Same here.
- select multiple mails with the SEARCH option (manually selecting seems to work fine)
- click the move button
- list of folders appears (witn account & cancel options that both still work)
- click on a folder
- mail flies to this folder (animated)
- list of folders remains visible
- the cancel button does NOT work
- the accounts button takes you back to the root "directory" of your accounts
- in my case "live" and "exchange"
- this screen is a dead end. Clicking on both the account names and the cancel button do not work
A complete restart fixes the problem

Why did Apple remove the Hold-Menu/Backlight function?

I just updated to ipod software version 1.1.1 and wondering why the "Hold Menu to switch Backlight on/off" function was replaced with "Hold Menu to return to Main Menu" function???
Ive been a huge fan of the Menu-Backlight switch since my 4G ipod, as I prefer to always keep the Backlight off and use it only when I absolutely cannot read the screen. I find it saves significant battery life compared to even the 2 second Backlight Timer. In the dark, this function is very practical especially since performing a simple operation such as adjusting volume or skipping tracks doesnt require any backlight. Also, I take a dark ghetto commuter bus and try hard to not draw attention to my 5G ipod with a bright glow from within my jacket pocket.
Why cant Apple offer an option in Settings menu or an alternative version with different Hold-Menu functionality?

Well the beauty of the old Hold-Menu>Backlight function was that it was basically a quick on/off switch...light turns on...light turns off...whereas the new "Quick Return to Main Menu" function didnt really solve a problem. If you need to get return to the main menu, you can blindly press Menu repeatly until you reach the main menu, how hard is that? Also, you only need to press Menu a maximum 4 times to reach the Main Menu from any submenu (unless youve created multiple subfolder hiearchies within the Notes folder.
My point is, as a result of elimination of the Backlight "switch" is increased precise navigation, which equals a loss in usability and practicality. So what happens when you suddenly need to use backlight? You either prepare in advance, lets say everyday before you head home from the office, you need to remember to set the Backlight Timer on. Or you face the scenario where it gets kinda dark by the time you leave the office, but you forgot to turn on the Backlight Timer...now what? Well look for some well lit place to change the settings, or if you can blindly navigate to the main menu and scroll carefully and precisely to the Backlight option. Ok a little extreme but I hope some of you reading this GET it.
So far the only way to retain this practical function is reverting to or continue using ipod software version 1.0. The most annoying thing about continuing to run v1.0 is everytime you connect the ipod to the computer, theres a popup begging you to update the ipod software. By refusing to update, you will miss out on some bug fixes (esp for Videora converted videos) and the volume limiter function.
Show your support for the lost Menu-Backlight function and maybe Apple will hear us out.

Found out that if I did a PRAM reset at this point when restarting after the Kernell panic, the installation continues without problem. Previously i was doing the PRAM reset prior to starting the install process and that did not help. Problem solved

How do you deauthorize computers that are no longer functional?

i followed the directions to deauthorize one "fried" computer and one old Windows laptop i no longer use from my new MacBook Pro. When i go into iTunes on my new MacBook Pro, however, iTunes says i still have 5 authorized computers and i can't set up my music on my laptop using iTunes Match. I did not deauthorize all my computers because i still have an iphone and two ipads. Now that i've invoked deauthorize, what am i supposed to do for the next 12 months until i can deauthorize again?

HT1766 ipad no longer functions after accepting an updated version of "Hayday"

ipad no longer functions after accepting an updated version of "Hayday"

Unfortunately it was a blinding flash of the obvious that fixed my issue...
Simply rebooting the iMac brought it back to life.
Duh.
I assumed that since Apple usually forces reboots after updates if they are required that this didn't require one, apparently it did.
