HT1212 Restoring Ipod touch with broken/unusable sleep/wake button

got a broken sleep/wake button and my kidz put a wrong passcodes on it many times, now it is locked, is there any way I can restore this back even if I don't have it backed up with my computer? I'm just using screen home button that is why I can't restore it using the ordinary way.

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

If not caused by accidental damage, the iPod Touch includes a one year warranty. If your iPod Touch remains under warranty, you can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. If the iPod Touch remains under warranty you open the iPod Touch youself or by a 3rd party, doing so will void the warranty. If you live near an Apple Store, make an appointment to see if the store can get the button unstuck. If not under warranty, there won't be any charge for this.

Reboot/restart ipod touch with broken power button

I dont think my ipod touch is broken but it wont turn on, the power button has always been broken and it cant be repaired. Is there a program or something i can download to completelty restart my ipod, I dont care about my apps or anything. I just want it to work

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Instead of using the puttons to place the iPod in recovery mode

- 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 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.

Ipod nano 6th gen - the sleep/wake button does not respond. already tried resetting, restoring.Help!

ipod does not respond when i press the sleep/wake button.
it only comes on when plug in to power supply or using the resetting method (pass and hold the sleep/wake & vol down button).
tried restoring and after restoring, ipod screen hangs, does not respond at all. same for sleep/wake button...
lost! can someone help pls!

Hello Ryan,
Since it sounds like you have already tried all the usual and available troubleshooting techniques, I would make a trip to your local Apple store/Genius Bar and have them take a look at it. Your iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty that cover any defects (but not accidental damage!).

HT1212 What can I do when my Sleep/Wake button is broken and I have forgotten my password?

What can I do when my Sleep/Wake button is broken and I have forgotten my password? Also the Find my iPhone app is on and I can't get in to my phone to shut it.

If they determine it is defective, then yes.

My iPod is frozen and my sleep wake button doesn't work. What do I do?

My iPod touch is frozen on Facebook and will not allow me to see my home screen. When I connect to my laptop, it doesn't show up in Itunes. I've never had this problem before. Also, my sleep/wake button (not the middle one) is apparently stuck. What do I need to do?

- You can try letting the battery fully drain and then charge for atleast an hour and see if it works then. Restore via iTunes if necessary.
- You can also see if this program will get the iPod in Recovery Mode so you can restore it.

Near new ipod touch with broken screen

I have a 2 week old ipod touch 4 with a broken screen. Can anyone tell me if it is covered buy warranty (unlikely l know) and if not what are the costs involved in getting it fixed and are the do - it - yourself kits any good.

It's not covered by the warranty. Here are the costs for the repair by Apple: Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
But you can also search the Internet for 3rd party repair, but you'll have no warranty after that by Apple anymore.

My iPod nano (6th G)'s Sleep/Wake button got completely pushed in and I can not turn it on

Apple has nothing listed on what to do and I was wondering if anybody else did??????

Hmmm, if there are any tech stores nearby you can bring it to them. If not then heres an article related to your topic. I won't recomend opening the prodcut yourself unless you think you can put it back together. Remember if anything is broken then im not responsible and you might need to bring it to the apple store nearby and get it fixed (might cost a bit). Good luck!

Sleep/Wake button doesn't work

I just got my iPod touch yesterday, and the Sleep/Wake button worked for a while... but then after syncing the touch to my computer a second time, the sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore. I can't put the iPod in sleep mode, and I can't turn it off either, and I can't do a hard reset (or whatever it's called when you hold both the buttons down). I've reset using iTunes and through the iPod itself, and it isn't solving the problem.
Any ideas?

New iPod Touch with January Update Restore Question

Hi,
Few days ago i bought new iPod Touch with 1.1.3 software and January Update.
When I restore it I'll lose my January Update programs ? And if that happened what can I do to get them back ?
PS. Sorry for my poor english :P
Cheers

It was mentioned already in this thread. If you look at the package check the seriel number. If it ends with /B then that is the new model and it has the new applications that were provided in the Jaunary update already programmed into the iPod. If you restore you will not lose them.
If it ends with /A then it is an older model that required the January Update in order to get the applications on your iPod. If you restore then you will lose them but you don't need to purchase them again as your iTunes will keep track of the purchase for you.

I have to restore my iphone 4s becasue it is saying "disabled connect to itunes" and it's never been synced with itunes. However the sleep/wake button is broken on the phone is there still away to restore without using it?

You can try, but the problem with that is you need battery power in order to restore. Once your phone has enough power to restore, it will still show the same message. To get the phone into either recovery mode or DFU mode requires the ability to first turn the phone off. But, you've got nothing to lose, so you might as well give it a shot.

How Do I Restore A Replacement iPod Touch With the Backup From A Previous iPod Touch?

I recently received a replacement iPod Touch because of hardware issues with my previous one. I managed to back up my last iPod Touch with iCloud, I also recall using iCloud to restore it from backup after I first updated to iOS 5. All I'm looking to do is to restore everything exactly as it was (app data etc) on my last iPod before I had it replaced. Yet, when I attempt to restore it from back up, it restores with the wrong back up.

See if the lnk given here helps:

HT201210 been trying to restore ipod touch for days after updating itunes. keep getting error #9. Tried it on 2 computers, with vista + XP. tried all the solutions posted. nothing is working. Thanks Apple. Didn't have this problem before updating itunes!

Been trying to restore Ipod touch for days after updating Itunes. Error code #9. Stuck on restore screen. Tried all the solutions posted. Tried on 2 computers, Vista + XP. No device shown on computer. Thanks Apple! Didn't have this problem before update. How about rolling back your update?

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
