How do you fix a malfunctioning sleep/awake button?

I have an Ipod Nano 6th Generation. The sleep/awake button no longer works. I have reset my Ipod and no change. Any Ideas?

Get it serviced.

  • My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off.  How do I fix this?

    Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
    Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
    Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
    Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
    If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

  • How can I fix a dented sleep button

    How can I fix a dented sleep button on the iPad??

    That's an ongoing problem with this recent version of iPhoto as you can see from the topics at the right under "More Like This".  The workaround that works for all is to export the photos to a folder on the Desktop and upload to Facebook with your browser until a fix is found.

    How do you fix a bad touch spot on an IPad 2?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem. If that doesn't solve the problem Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • How do you fix Upside down,sideways picture on Facetime Iphone?

    How do you fix Upside down,sideways picture on Facetime Iphone?

    Hello rvalen,
    From what you describe I would take a look at the side switch, it may be set to lock the rotation of the screen.
    iPad: Understanding the side switch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4085
    Troubleshooting Rotation Lock
    If your iPad display does not rotate as expected, verify that Rotation Lock is off:
    Check the status bar for the Rotation Lock icon.
    Toggle the Side Switch to verify that the device is not locked.
    Note: Some apps do not rotate to match the current or locked orientation. Use the Home screen to determine Rotation Lock status.
    If Rotation Lock is off and you are still unable to rotate the iPad display, restart your iPad:
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears, and then slide to turn off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
    Regards,

  • Anyone know how to fix a stuck sleep/wake button on the IPOD Touch?

    Anyone know how to fix a stuck sleep/wake button on the IPOD Touch?

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

  • How do you fix the 2 to 3 second voice delay when answering iphone 5 this is with multiple carriers and its unaceptable on a phone that cost almost 700 dollars it did not happen on my cheap prepay samsung

    how do you fix the 2 to 3 second delay on hearing somones voice when answering the iphone 5 this happens on lots of  iphone 5s with differant carriers so its not one carriers problem its probably apples this is unacceptable on such an expensive phone and very irratating. my last cheap samsung t mobile 50 dollar pre pay never did this,im new in my  contract an will take the phone back if i have to put up with this for 2 years.other than that huge problem i love the phone. i dont understand why this did not get covered like the maps problem,cause its a lot of phones and its probably an ios problem.

    Wow!
    I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
    If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
    A cynic would assume that they are trying to catch us out at every step and for us to either be overspending or not really getting the moneys worth.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    What I know is that the phone worked perfectly fine until I upgraded the software. I've tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I've shut the phone off, put it in a ziplock baggie and then into the freezer for 15 minutes. This made the wifi work temporarily but then it goes back to being grayed out. The wifi does not work at other wifi sites away from my home as well. Seems like an apple issue to me and would appreciate someone coming up with a fix, apparently I'm not the only one having this problem. Thanks for replying to my query, any ideas?
    It's likely a hardware issue.  The iOS will not directly cause this issue.
    Use this article first:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1559
    If that fails to resolve it, then try setting it up as new and testing again.
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
    If the issue remains even after set up as new, it's a hardware problem, not a software problem.  You'll need to contact Apple for you hardware service options.  If within warranty it should be free.  If not, expect to pay $149 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4, $199 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4S.

  • I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer?

    Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

    if you've changed your startup options on mac to start in windows, how do you fix and go back to mac. I can't get my mac to switch back to mac, it is like stuck in widows mode, I have tried holding down the options key upon start up and that did not fix it either.
    Please help! Thank you so much!

    The Apple drivers you install in Windows also puts a Startup Drive icon in the Task Bar. Choose that to change the startup disk back OS X.
