How come I can't take screenshots anymore?

My iPod has had the "caved in" home button for about a year now, but if I pressed firmly enough it still worked. However, ever since a couple of days ago (about 9/18 or so), every time I try to take a screenshot, it does not work anymore; it was working fine before then.
I press the power button down and the home button but absolutely nothing happens. I've used a little bit of rubbing alcohol on my button, which has made it more responsive, but still no screenshots.
My warranty expired and I don't want to get a new iTouch. Please help, many thanks.

  • HT5858 How come i can't take video any more with my Ipad after the last update

    Howcome I can't take video anymore with my Ipad, after the last update

    What happens when you try to take videos ? In the Camera app you should be able to slide the Video / Photo / Square options so that Video option lines up with the yellow dot to their left - does that not work ?

  • How come I can't play videos anymore?

    I'm running iPhoto v 7.1.5; OS X 10.9.1, but I can't play videos anymore? How is this possible?  What do I need to do? Please help.

    iPhoto v7 (or iPhoto 08 dates from 2007, and is looking for Quicktime 7 to play the videos - the version of Quicktime that was current then. 10.9 uses Quicktime X.
    Two options:
    Upgrade to a more recent version of iPhoto
    or
    Install QUicktime 7. You'll find an installer here

  • How come I can't block numbers anymore?

    Hi I currently do not have any numbers blocked on my device but upon going to the my verizon account settings and looking for the blocked feature I noticed the options have been changed with the new site redesign. I no longer have the option to block a number on my phone. I contacted my dad who is the account owner for all our accounts but he assured me there has been no blocks or changes made to my phone or account so therefore I should be able to block a number like I always have been.
    I have this one person sending me harassing phone calls and I need to stop it before it gets out of hand. If I click on my verizon I look to the left and click on the menu item that says "block calls and messages" and upon clicking that I click on "manage family and safeguard controls" and then scroll down the page to the option that says "call and message blocking." It shows that the item is free to install so when I click on apply it simply redirects me to the page that has the feature for "manage family and safeguard controls."
    Basically I am confused and lost. I used to be able to block up to 5 numbers free of charge at one time and now idk if this the new site doing this but it is not showing me a list where I can insert a number and I have no clue what I am doing wrong.

    The option is still there, but for some reason the feature fell off some phones when the site was redesigned.  At least that's how it was explained to me when the same thing happened a month or so ago.  I talked with a Customer Service rep who put the feature back on the phone line, then I was able to block numbers via MyVerizon again.

  • HT2404 I just clicked on Software Updates; BUT nothing shows what's happening? How come I can't see the updates & time it will take?

    Help!  I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
    I went to the Apple icon, but  "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
    Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
    What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
    How do I know IF they have been installed?  Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
    How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
    - I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
    Thanks to any who can help
    PS One other question - just checked my "profile" & it has my email addy that's 4 years old... how do I change That?

  • How can i take screenshots in windows media player

    How can i take  screenshots in windows media player.

    If you mean "encrypted", the running Windows Media Player or Windows Media
    Center IN a window and not full screen may allow you to take a screen shot of
    the desktop in its entirety. That can be cropped to just the content wanted.
    Here is an example

  • How come I can't hear Siri talking anymore,what I do wrong?

    How come I can't hear Siri talking anymore,what I do wrong?

    Try a reset. Reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • How come you can not use more than 126GB of a 1.5TB diskdrive with LabVIEW Real Time?

    How come you can not use more than 126GB of a 1.5TB diskdrive with LabVIEW Real Time?
    This is only 8.3% of the available disk drive space!
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/E7E2F5657B6​026358625750B007201A6?OpenDocument
    National Instrument's solution is either reformat you drive to less than 126GB or replace the drive with one less than that size.
    Please NI, tell me you are going to fix your LabVIEW Real Time soon, and that we won't have to wait for LabVIEW RT 9.2.1 in 2011 for this one to be fixed.
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90​/Hard_drive_capacity_over_time.svg
    Drives as large as 126GB or more have been around since about mid 2002.  That's about 7 Years now and LabVIEW Real Time STILL can't use drives larger that 126GB!  Please NI.  Do something.
    We deserve fixes to the old versions of LabVIEW RT.  How about updates to LabVIEW RT.  Such as 7.0.2, 7.1.2, 7.6.2, 8.0.2, 8.2.2, 8.6.2.
    We don't need new features or versions of LabVIEW RT such as 9.0 until we have some of bugs fixed in the existing versions.

    The RealTime OS is an NI Product that is purchased from NI.
    NI may or may not outsource design, developement, or manufacturing of the products that it sells under its own Company name.
    For this reason I would be concerned if I were a PXI Embedded Controller designer/developer in the United States. 
    Yes, 126GB is some space.  I see that there are now 2TB drives available.  126GB would be 6.3% of a new 2TB drive.  Should we all be happy with being able to use 6.3% of the available drive space.  Moore's Law seams to be alive and well.  Drives larger than 126GB have been readily available for 5 or 6 Years.  This should not be a surprise to NI.  Why don't they do something about it.
    Thanks for the trivia on Bill Gates.  I must have missed that one since I don't try to keep up with Microsoft.  I believe that he is a wonderful person and he and his family are doing wonders for the world in their "retirement".   The world needs more like him.
    What I do remember is Steve Jobs telling us that we would never need more that 128MB and that we would never to need to do anymore software development because everything was already in the "ToolBox".

  • How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

    How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
    You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

    I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
    After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
    OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
    Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
    OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file.   This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
    Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
    There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings.  Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus.   That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
    Good luck!  The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

  • How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.

  • How come I can't use the back gesture in certain apps with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion OS?

    How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:

    How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
    I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
    It will not go to the Mac App Store
    I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
    os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
    I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
    Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

    If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.
