I-Pod restore now menu button doesnt work!

Any ideas?!?! its a major pain! now every time I want to use a different app, I need to turn off the I-Pod and restart it. Any help would be great!

I am having a similar problem with my mini - it turns on fine and will scroll through the menus, but will not respond by going back through the menus. Instead, it freezes on a screen and does not respond to anything except resetting it (menu & select button). Doesn't seem like the proper way to navigate through the screens and is completely frustrating. I was ready to cry yesterday at the gym because it wouldn't work and didn't know the reset "trick" until 3 hours later! I have also had many problems turning it off too. My brother who owns a regular iPod thinks I am crazy but at least I am seeing people out there with similar problems.
On another note, I have to say I am completely disappointed with Apple. The company loves to portray this user-friendly persona, but in truth it is not that way at all. I received my mini in May and have just started to use it full force this month (October) ... now my 30-day phone support has expired and if I want "live" help I have to pay $50 for extended service. That's bull - I'd like some real answers but have been relegated to chat boards (no offense) and trying to troubleshoot the problem myself by finding close but not exact postings. It seems like such a deceptive bait & switch ploy by Apple. I am tempted to send my mini back for service but just read on the web site that I could be charged up to $100 for service. Again, sounds very sneaky so not sure if I should take the risk or live with a highly annoying product defect. Any suggestions?

    I know any device could malfucntion but if it costs $40,000 to buy you could at least warn someone of the possible malfuctions. It makes the company look bad when a large amount of your devices act up and you "cant help them" if they dont pay extra. Im just saying.
    Sorry but that makes no sense at all.  How can they possible know what things will possible malfunction on your device?  Anything that they think is highly likely to malfunction they would have addressed in desiging and manufacturing the device in the first place, during development.  They've made and sold many millions of iPhones, and many of them have lasted years without any problems (I know, I've owned such iPhones personally).  So how could they possible know if yours was any more likely to develop any issues than any of those other trouble free ones?
    It's hardware - stuff sometimes breaks randomly.  No amout of money ever guarantees or even reduces the likelyhood of random product failures.
    Take it in to Apple and see about getting it fixed.

  • Menu button doesnt work

    All of a sudden the menu button stopped working. It was fine one day then I put the ipod on charge, several days later when I tried to use it again the Menu button no longer works...
    Actually I just realized that the Play/Pause button doesnt work correctly either. When you push and hold it it does not turn the device off anymore although it would still pause/play the songs. The forward/reverse work ok.
    I tried resetting the Ipod using the updater and that didnt help. I also tried Menu + Select ... strangely enough it resets the device but after it resets the Menu key doesnt work.
    Has anyone experienced this problem?
    I submitted a service request. Is there any way of modifying the service request since I just realized that the play/pause button is screwed up also?
    Finally, when you turn the hold on/off is that supposed to turn the backlight on/off as well? I never paid attention to it but now when I turn hold on that also turns the backlight on...is that screwed up as well?

  • IPOD MENU BUTTON DOESNT WORK

    Seem you met the same problem with me......I found the problem after I upgrade my ipod mini to the new version Apple provide.When I finished software update,it says:please connect to power to finish hardware update.
    I followed the step,then found that I cannot use menu button to go back.
    I have tried to resume the factory setting and upgrade to the latest version but no use.Seems Apple didn't realize the problem........

  • Nano 5th menu button doesnt work

    The MENU button doesn't work (nano 5th generation). Even after  "Restoring iPod to factory settings". I think it has to do with the mechanical fuctioning of the button itself.
    What ca I do?
    Thanks,

    I tried already! I think it has to do with the mechanical parts of the wheel

    Very likely it is a hardware issue (exactly same as mine). I am afraid to say that you need to send it for repairing. You will get a replacement if your iPod mini still under the warranty

  • Can't get "Menu" button to work

    I have the 2nd gen, 4GB nano and the Menu button doesn't work. It is fully charged, I can play music, use all the other buttons, but cannot use the Menu button. Any ideas on what to do?

  • I was in the middle of updating to 7.0.3 and Itunes stopped working. Now my phone is stuck in limbo (apple logo with status bar under) My power button doesnt work (of course) How do I get it back to normal?

    I was in the middle of updating to 7.0.3 and Itunes stopped working. Now my phone is stuck in limbo (apple logo with status bar under) My power button doesnt work (of course) How do I get it back to normal?

    I have same issue. I click on the home button and Wake/sleep at the same time for 30 seconds or more and then the phone entered in Recovery mode. It is erasing my content now and installing the update. Let´s see how this ends. I have iCloud, iTunes match, and backups from previos versions, hope I can restore all my content.
    Otherwise I´ll go to the Genius Bar to do a checkup.
    Good luck!
    It did not work the first time... The iPhone4 kept in limbo. Then I did disconnect as suggested above and tried again to enter in Recovery mode.  This second time it works. And after restoring the iPhone4 with 7.0.3, it asked me if I want to recover from backup. I did recover from my latest back up and now it is syncing the content.

  • I have an iphone 5 that i trade with a family member they have coverage on it. now the iphones sleep wake button doesnt work sometimes can apple replace my iphone even if i dont have the box or recipit to the product or can they just repair it?

    i have an iphone 5 that i traded with from a family member. its has coverage but now the sleep/wake button doesnt work sometimes. can apple replace my iphone and give me a new one or is it just something they can repair? i dont have the box or recipit to apple care or the iphone

    Apple can fix it without your receipt or box. They pull the serial number from the device and determine warranty status from that.  Hopefully ApplCare was registered to the product before you lost the receipt though.  If not, you can go back to the point of purchase and obtain your AppleCare receipt and Apple can help attach it to the iPhone.

    - 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.

    If you are unable to restore your iPhone with iTunes without having to enter the passcode, you will not be able to update your iPhone's backup. You will need to place the iPhone into recovery mode in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes and you can restore from the most recent backup available.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
