I pod nano 6th generation volume buttons no longer work

I got a quote from apple and they want 80$ to fix an ipod with a crappily built button.  This is my second ipod nano 6th gen within the past year, my last one had the same button problem but it was with the power button.  I don't abuse them.
How do i go about getting a new 6th gen without paying 80$ for a design flaw.

Hello,
Have you should made sure your permissions are repaired? If your permissions are wrong, then you will likely have trouble.
I found that it found several audio related permissions needing correction on my system after the update. Since repairing permissions, everything has been fine.
So, go into "Disk Utility" in the Applications --> Utilities folder and repair your permissions.
Start by selecting your hard drive on the left window of Disk Utility. Then, go down and click on the "Repair Permissions" button. Once it's completed, then exit Disk Utility.
Then, go ahead and restart the computer and see how it works.
I hope this helps.
Let us know if you have other questions.

  • IPod Nano 6th Generation Volume Button Issue

    The "-" volume button on my iPod Nano 6th generation is stuck in the "on" or depressed position against the case. It looks like the button either is binding against the case, or a spring-like mechanism beneath the button is broken.
    Any ideas on how to fix the issue short of taking it in for a service appointment?  Maybe by opening the case?

    You can buy the switch and replace it but be sure you are up to it. Check http://www.ifixit.com for teardown instructions.

    Press the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least 8 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.

  • IPod Nano (6th gen) volume button issue..again

    So, just about exactly a year ago, my iPod nano, 6th generation, its volume down button stoped working. the volume up was fine, but the volume down no longer functioned; it no longer turned down the volume and didn't even give that little click you feel when hitting the button when adjusting the volume.  I contacted apple, and luckily it was still under the service warrenty, so I was able to send it in and get a new iPod of the exact same model back, since the report said it was unfixable or whatnot, so that's why they had to give back a new device.
    Now, I have had no other problems with it until now, when, again, nearly an exact year later, the same issue happened again.  The volum down button doesn't work, and doesn't even make the little click when pushed. 
    i checked the status of this iPod, with its new serial number, and now all the warrenty services have expired.  So i guess my question is: has anyone else experienced this trouble? and would this iPod still technically be covered because it was not yet been a full year since I sent it to tech support?
    Any info on the issue would be appreciated!

  • My nano 6th generation power button will not turn off

    My Nano power button will not turn my I pod off anymore.  It'a 6th generation.

    You can either do an out-of-warranty replacement at your nearest Apple Store for $65/$75 USD depending on the size of your Nano or have a 3rd party replacement of the switch.

  • I see a podcast in my computer when i look into the driver of my ipod. But the problem are that i can;t find it in my i pod nano 6th generation. What to do?

    I can see that on the harddisk when i look into my  i pod nano see some podcast. When i look in my I pod i can't find them. What to do?

    Great Troubleshooting on your own so far!. (If you got 2 PC and 2 iPod would be much easier, some of the people in this community has more than 2 of each.)
    Hope you did not connect it to a USB Hub, the sync cable must be plug in directly to a USB2 port at the back of the Desktop Computer.
    If you have a spare Notebook, with iTunes, connect it to the Notebook, to check if the iPod is working or hung.
    Can you iPod run and play songs, when disconnected from the PC? (Sorry, for just asking the obvious)
    Anyway, just hard reset your iPod, so that we can start from scratch
    1. if your iPod is hung, reset it by pressing Menu and Center button for at least 10 secs till the Apple logo, comes on. (this won't delete your songs in the iPod, if they are not corrupted))
    2. Connect it back to your Notebook or Desktop.
    if your iPod screen is dead, try charging the battery by connecting it to another computer. if it doesn't connect to successfully to another computer, it may need servicing.
    Good luck!

  • Nano 6th generation volume will not increase above a whisper on either docker or headphones. volume showing full

    6th generation ipod can only hear whisper of sound in headphones and nothing on docker and volume is fully turned up?

    Try restoring your device in iTunes. If that does not work you will need to get it serviced.

  • My ipod 6th generation volume button got stuck!

    My ipod was just fine and I listened to it and then I went to turn the volume up for a good song that came on and the button didn't work. I looked at it more carefully and the button appears to be jammed in. The button to turn the volume down works just fine. The settings has it so that the volume limit is as high as it can go, but I can hardly hear it. Help!

    There is a simpler way to go about it. Try cleaning it with alcohol and cotton swab. The buttons accumulate dust and sweat around it and get jammed. I had similar problem and tried it and the buttons work !
    Good Luck !

  • I just took my I-Pod touch to a computer repair shop to replace cracked screen and now am told main part of I-Pod needs to be replaced.volume button no longer works, headphone and locking device also no longer working. Even though it all worked when given

    I just took my I-Pod touch to a computer repair shop to replace a cracked screen. Told it need the main part to it. They said the volume button, headphone and locking part no longer worked. Told me to pick it up. When I gave it to them all components were working. Said because they weren't able to fix it there was no charge. Don't understand this.

    Probably when you dropped, kicked, smashed, threw, or whatever you did to break your screen it also damaged the logic board and the connections to the volume button, headphone jack and sleep button. Happens all the time. Apparently the shop you selected to work on it is not very good so take them off your shopping list.
    Then go buy a 5th Generation iPod Touch.

  • Curve 8520 Volume Button No Longer Working

    Today the volume up button on right side of my Curve 8520 no longer works.  Is there a fix?  Is there another way I can control my volume when listening to music?  I really don't want to replace my current Curve if I can.  Please help
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the reply  unleashurself,
    When listening to music, listening to voice notes or watching video's there is no sound.  When I push on the up volume button, volume does not go up & little speaker icon on bottom right of screen shows no bars (ie: no sound)
    When making a phone call and using speaker phone, noticed I am able to volume down with the volume down button, but cannot volume up.
    It does seem like a hardware issue (up volume button is done), I am wondering if there is another way I can control my volume through menu settings.

  • My keyboard volume buttons no longer work (other function keys still work)??

    I've never had any problems with my keyboard but after one instance of viewing a video (via my TV, where I selected audio device
    as HDMI as for some reason it was still coming from my mac, which was not usual) my volume function keys on keyboard no longer
    work.
    When I press them they show they volume icon onscreen but it is grey and non-functional?
    I've tried going to system pref and keyboard setting to ensure the function keys are all set as they should be but I have not had any
    success so far. I've also played video through TV again and put audio settings back to mac, instead of HDMI, but still nothing.
    Any ideas??

    In the meantime, you could use Keyboard Viewer to type the characters which don't work.
    You can open Keyboard Viewer via the Input Menu - that's the menu that usually displays a flag, on the right end of the main menubar. If the Input Menu is not shown in the main menubar, go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources and checkmark the "Show Input menu in menu bar" item. On the same page, at the top of the list of input sources (languages ≈ keyboard layouts) checkmark the item "Keyboard & Character Viewer".
    With the Keyboard Viewer open, any letters you click on its representation of the keyboard will be entered in an open document.
    Note - this can't, of course, be used as a substitute for characters needed for startup commands.

  • I have a nano 5th generation and buttons do not work but click wheel does

    My buttons often do not work. Until today, if I toggled the move button I could get it to work after 3-4 minutes of trying. I restored the  nano 1 hour ago. It turned on to teh menu, I moved to shuffle and selected that. SOngs are playing. But now none of the buttons work. Battery is charged, I toggle the hold switch, nothing helps. If I press the play-pause, the screen will light up for a few seconds. But that is all I can do. I can't go to the menu, go forward or reverse. I can't reset by pressing menu and select.
    The only way I can stop the music is to plug it in with iTunes open - sync starts - music stops. But when I disconnect it after ejecting, it still is on - menu screen.
    Is the nano toast?
