How to power on the 5th generation of Ipod without the use of a home button

Hi, I need help with powering on my Ipod.
For some odd reason, it doesn't want to turn on anymore, even though it was working perfectly fine an hour earlier. I don't know why it stopped working, but it's difficult to do anything because my home button doesn't function properly and hasn't been for the past couple months. Please help.. :c

Then yo have a hardware problem besides the Home button.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for a 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or send it in to Apple. See:

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

    Hi,
    thanks for your answer. But my question ist how many the Mobo consumes. Without the periphery!
    Why do I want to know this?
    My Machine:
    - MSI 865PE NEO2 FIS2R (Bios 1.8)
    - Zalman ZM400A-APF Power Supply (400W)
    - 1 GB Dual Channel RAM ( 2 x Corsair TWINX512-3200CL2PRO in Slot 1/3) running at 2-3-3-6
    - 2 x Samsung SP1604N as Raid 0 on IDE3
    - 1 x Teac 516E DVD Rom
    - 1 x LG GSA 4040b Multi DVD Writer
    - 1 x Terratec Aureon Fun 5.1 (PCI Slot 3)
    - 1 x ASUS Radeon 9800XT (AGP Slot)
    Cause I got almost all information about my periphery I want to know what the Mobo with it's onboard components consumes. The Zalman 400W is one of the best PSU out there as THG said in a test. But are 400W enough to be stable under heavy stress? Most 450-500W PSU aren't delivering what they offer.
    So what is the consumption of the Mobo itself with all onboard components turned on (Firewire, USB Ports....)
    It should be possible to calculate a whole systemconsuption based on all information I have, or not?

  • How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

    How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

    Hi,
    Here is help for the operating system:
    If you are locked to iOS 3 then you have an iPod Touch 1st Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 4 then you have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 5 then you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 6 then you have an iPod Touch 4th Gen.
    If you can get iOS 7 and have an iPhone 5 sized screen [bigger] you have the current iPod Touch 5th Gen.
    I assume since it says you have iOS 5.1.1 you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    Also, you may want to sync it so iTunes can tell you or you can look at the model number on the back.
    Hope this helped.

  • 5th Generation 16gb IPod Touch screen unresponsive

    I have a 5th Generation 16gb IPod touch and the screen became unresponsive just today. Just a couple minute after using it just fine, the screen became unresponsive to anything, not swiping, tapping, sliding... nothing. The screen turns on and off, and the Sleep/Wake button works. So does the home screeen. But i cant swipe to unlock it or swipe to turn it off.i did not drop it, get it wet, press to hard on it, i was holding it and taking a picture. then pressed the Sleep/Wake button and then turned it on a couple minutes later and the screen was unresponsive. I dont have any money to get a new one, and i dont have the warranty for it. i propbobly might take it to the apple store to get it checked out. one of my friends said that it has three layers a light layer and other one. she said the light layer got unwired or something and the apple store got it fixed. I cannot pay too much for it and definately will be getting a screenprotecter and cas e for it IFF it gets fixed. my other ipod had a similar problem, and i cant offord to lose another one.
    Any help would be VERY appreaciated

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 5th generation video iPod USB not working

    Hi, my 15 month old iPod 5th generation video no longer connects with USB on my iBook (all my other USB devices work just fine in the two USB 2 ports).
    The screen lights when iPod is plugged in and when unplugged using USB, but that appears to be the in toto communication performed.
    I have performed the five Rs, and putting the iPod into disc mode yields the expected result on the screen of the iPod (tick and OK to disconnect) but no connection to the computer (yes, I have plugged/unplugged a number of times).
    I have disconnected the battery (as another poster suggested) for several minutes and that does not seem to have helped in resetting the system.
    It charges just fine via Firewire (either by a Firewire port on my iBook or by an Apple Firewire AC adaptor type charger), with absolutely no charging taking place when connected with USB (either by a USB 2 port on my iBook (G4 2004 model) or by an Apple USB AC adaptor type charger).
    I have also tried three different USB cables, one old, two brand new Apple ones (all of which work just fine on my old 4th gen iPod, my daughter's 3rd gen iPod and my partner's two 4th gen iPods).
    When I run the inbuilt diagnostics on the iPod, all of them come back as ok, including USB, both as charging and communication, so, in theory, everything should be ok, but most patently isn't.
    I have tried to use the iPod on a Windows 2000 computer and an older iMac (both of which otherwise work fine with other iPods either using USB and Firewire) with nil recognition by any.
    I've looked in the wide dock connection plug at the bottom of the iPod as another poster said that the connection pins might be bent, however, I can't see any actual pins, just a wide tongue in the middle, the same as on my other older iPod. Or do I need to open up the iPod and look for something in there?
    Judging by the nr of comments and questions on similar issues here with the 5th generation video iPod, there should be a definitive fix for this problem, although, after looking through as much of the forums that might relate to this problem, no one seems to have come up with an explanation, let alone a solution for it.
    So, my question remains, my iPod 5th generation video no longer connects with USB on my iBook, has anyone else (taking into account the above information), either had/have this problem and or found a resolution to it?
    Cheers, Peter
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   5th generation video iPod

    Dear deggie, hi, thanks for the tip as to what I should be looking for in the slot. However, sadly, it all looks to be fine (well, at least the same as my other iPod).
    HR, thanks for the tip re opening the iPod, unfortunately, it is 15 months old, so well past the 12 month warranty expiry (ridiculous, isn't it?).
    Here in Australia, we don't have access to Genius Bars and Apple Stores, just the local distributors, and they want $210 to repair/replace the iPod, which, frankly I find a bit rich, considering that it hasn't been mistreated in any way and the other iPod I have has been running fine for more than two years.
    I get the feeling, judging by the many complaints on these forums regarding the problems that the gen 5 iPod being recognised and connecting to both Mac and Windows, that this cannot just be purely user error or maltreatment. However, I'm unsure as to what can be done to resolve them or get Apple to admit to there being a problem.
    One of the things that confuses me, is that all the internal diagnostics (menu + select then select + back) including USB communication, all come back fine, when, as mentioned in an above post, it most patently is not. Anyone have any clues as to what this might be due to?
    If, by some bizarre fluke, I manage to find a resolution to this problem (short of going and paying Apple $210), I'll post back here with it.
    Again, thanks for the help, cheers, Peter

  • How do i view photos in macbook pro, and while viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?

    1 My questions are about viewing and managing photos from a folder.
    a. How do i view photos in macbook pro - i know the space bar thingy but does not help my purpose?
    b. While viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?
    c. How can i increase the size of the photos that i am seeing in the form of icons?

    double clicking in iPhoto will open the photo.
    The left and right arrow key will move between photos, as well as swiping on a trackpad or Apple mouse.
    See >System Preference>Trackpad or mouse  for options and tut
    While selected or in the smaller icon view hitting the Delete key will delete the pic.
    Command Z will undo the last action taken.
    Periodically you have to empty the iPhoto trash.  iPhoto drop down menu>empty trash
    Same applies for viewing pics in a Folder NOT in iphoto,  Use the up and down arrows does not work in Preview, but as you know in QuickLook (spacebar) the up and down arrows will navigate.

  • How can I change the slide to 8 Radio buttons mutually exclusive?

    How can I change the slide to 8 Radio buttons mutually exclusive?
    I saw the example in Labview. but it only contains upto 5 radio
    buttons. I need 8. How can I change it? Is there any shortcuts?

    I made this with NI's radio button control found in the boolean palette.  Just resize the cluster border, and move the buttons to where you want.  To add a button, select one of them, hold down Control and Shift keys, then drag the button to a new location.  The button gets duplicated.  Do this until you have enough buttons.

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize the use of itunes on computers which have crashed and are no longer accessible??

    How do I deauthorize the use of itunes on computers which have crashed and are not accessible??

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.
    Deauthorising a computer doesn't remove any content from it, it just means that you can't use iTunes content on it until you reauthorise it.
