Sleep/wake button works, but not when iPhone is asleep
I just upgraded from an iPhone 4S to an iPhone 5. When my phone is asleep the top wake/sleep button is unresponsive. The home button will wake the phone up, and once it's awake I can use the top button to wake/sleep the phone. But if I sleep the phone (not turn it off but just sleep it) and wait about 30 seconds, then the top button becomes unresponsive. I've tried holding the top button and that doesn't do anything either.
I do not have Applecare for the phone, nor is under warranty.
I tried the Apple top button replacement web site, but it reports that the phone isn't in the serial number range of affected phones.
Any ideas or suggestions?Hi Craig Volpe,
If you are having issues with your iPhone's sleep/wake button not waking the phone up when it has been asleep for more than 30 seconds, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

My daughter tried to play the My Horse game on her Ipod touch that she got for Christmas and when she opened the game it said something about sending "push notifications" and gave the choice of "don't allow" or "ok"...we chose "don't allow". After that the screen went white and now we cannot get the Ipod touch to respond to anything. I tried holding the sleep/wake button to try to restart it and it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions to get this device working again???
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If that doesn't work, try a Restore:
From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.
There's more that you can do. Post back if none of the above solves the problem.
By the way, I always allow "push." That allows the app developer to "push" information to your device rather than waiting for you to ask for it. However, "don't allow" shouldn't cause the problem that you're experiencing. -
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.

My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?
- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. -
Hello all,
I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
What I have tried so far to no avail:
Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
Changed the watch face to display.
Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
Regards,Hey,
I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
Have you found any solution?
Bah, this is annoying.

Recently I was listening to my music, and when I went to change to a different song, I wasn't able to wake my ipod with the sleep/wake button. It's like it's not even there anymore. And when I shake my ipod I hear this rattling sound, which i'm pretty sure means that it's broken. But why is this happening, it's happened to a couple of my friends ipods, and I haven't even had mine a year. Is there anyway that I can fix this?
I had exactly the same problem. I took it to the Apple Store and they peered up inside and said I had "obviously used some corrosive liquid" on it, so the problem was not covered by the warranty. I have no idea what "corrosive liquid" it could have been--I am very careful with my iPod, keeping it in a case, etc. The only thing I could think of was sweat from the gym, but they said that wouldn't do it. So they basically gave me a replacement one but charged me $150! I have been extra careful with the replacement one, but after 2 weeks, it is having exactly the same problem.
I just did a hard reset (held down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button simultaneously until the Apple Logo appears. Now it kinda works sometimes. Sometimes I have to push the button multiple times before it goes to sleep.
This is extremely frustrating as I am very careful in handling it. Makes me think there is some other problem with it, or these things are just so fragile they can't take the wear and tear of normal use. -
The issue started just out of warranty. Had powering on problem and did not want to spend money on repair. After that the phone crashed and refused to power on for 4 months. Now I am eligible for repair but apple store declined saying it is a hardware problem and beyond repair. I am not able to comprehend the attitude of Apple. Obviously manufacturing sub standard products is their fault and we are paying heavy price!!
The company is obviously gonna lose in the long run!!Pretty77 wrote:
No it is not user damAged. I would like to clarify that this piece had problems like bugs, power on and off and charging issues. It used to heat up a lot while in use. It is defective iphone to begin with. Now when iphone acknowledges there is a problem, why not replace??
If the phone was not operating as its supposed to initially you could of had the phone replaced under the 1Year Warranty. Apple is only Fixing phones with strictly "sleep/wake" button issues. i.e. if your phone has other issues other than "sleep/wake" you must fix those on your own (if out of warranty) prior to apple fixing the sleep/wake. However if your device is under warranty they will give you a new phone. -
What's wrong with my sleep/wake button?
My sleep/wake button has just started failing. Sometimes when I press it, it doesn't work. Sometimes I have to press it up to 3-4 times in order to either put it to sleep or into a wake mode. I thought it was my cover, but I removed it and this still happens. I've reset the phone a couple of times but it remains the same.
We don't want to test your patience and press your buttons when you're trying to press your button TonyMart! If this is still going on, we may need to look into replacement options. Is there any damage to the device? How long have you had your device? If it is < 14 days, please return it to the original store you purchased it from. If you ordered online/over the phone, please follow and DM me with your name/mobile number. I'll call you and review replacement options. Keep me posted!

IPhone top sleep/wake button is not working & Apple Logo screen at startup
I have the original iphone. I have two problems, both just happened tonight at the same time. For seemingly no reason just my iphone external top sleep/wake button is not working. I tried powering the phone off and back on. I tried resetting my iphone, and restoring it. I made sure my Iphone software is up to date. None of these remedies have fixed the button. The button doesn't look broken, it pushes in and out, it just doesn't work anymore.
Second problem is, after I power my iphone off and then back on, the Apple logo screen will continue to flash on and off indefinitely. The only way to get my home screen to appear is to connect my iphone to my computer. Then it wants to sync. After syncing it then asks if I want to "power off" or "cancel". Huh, why does is it doing that? To turn my iphone off I am pressing my Home button down until it shuts off, since I can't power off with the top black button. Is that the reason my phone is having the second problem, because I am powering off with the Home button? Could it be my second problem is not a problem?
My iphone 1 year warranty is over. I can't call Apple Care, there is no apple store near me. I need a solution I can do at home myself. Please help. Even if you think the answer is obvious please suggest it to me. Before tonight nothing was wrong with my iPhone. It all started after I let my 6 and 7 year old nephews play with Google Maps on my phone for like 10 minutes - supervised. I consider myself to be a pretty Apple tech savvy guy, yet I can't figure out if they broke my iphone somehow, nor can I fix these two problems. Please help!Jason,
I'm afraid I have good and bad news. Apple sent me a new original iphone. So that takes care of me but does not take care of the issue for so many people like you. I do not know if you can purchase the Apple Care plan at this time. Look into that. It really is worth it. Apple products require Apple technicians in the rare case the breakdown. Apple did not offer me an explanation of how they'll fix my phone or even saying why they sent me a new one. I synced it with Itunes and all my personalizations and apps are loaded back on it. It's like my old phone only shinyer and probably going to last me longer than the old one.
I found out Apple Care covers the Iphone for 2 years past it's purchase date. So I would think that you could buy Apple Care even if you had it for like a year. Then it would at least cover you until the 2 year mark, which after that we're on our own(?). Please let me/us know if you were able to buy Apple Care protection and if they fixed your problem. I am impressed they got me a new phone so fast. I still love Apple. -
My iPad Sleep/Wake button not working after upgrading to IOS 4.2.1
Since I uploading the OS system onto my iPad 3G, the Sleep/Wake button is inoperate. When I click this button, my iPad will not turn on (I press the Home button to activate my iPad). When my iPad is on and I press the Sleep/Wake button nothing happens.
I restored my iPad on iTunes which did not solve the issue. I have search this forum for any solutions and I have reviewed the iPad User to see if I miss something when I activated the update OS on my iPad.
Any other iPad users experiencing this issu? All recommendations is greatly appreciated.Sorry, but I can't tell from your writeup how it is that you're actually using those controls. Some basic points:
A. Merely pressing the Sleep/Wake (SW) button doesn't turn the machine on if it's off. Instead, you press & hold it until the white Apple logo appears.
B. If you press Home and the machine comes to life, then it was not off, powered down. It was sleeping, or idle.
C. When on, pressing/clicking SW should put the iPad to sleep.
If you can't put it to sleep by pressing SW, and can't shut it down by pressing & holding SW until the red slider appears, then you have some sort of a fault involving that switch itself and you're probably looking at a hardware replacement. Follow instructions in your User's Guide to start that process. -

My iPhone 4 will not power on. When connected to iTunes via my computer, it is recognized and shows fully charged battery. Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does nothing; just a black screen. Any suggestions?
Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired

My iPod touch's sleep wake button isn't working. How do i fix it?
One day, my iPod touch's sleep wake button stopped working. Now i cannot lock it or turn it off or on. I already tried every step in the troubleshooting and the problem was not resolved. I did take it with me to work out that day. Could it have water damage from my sweat? The main problem is, I am flying on a plane and cannot take it with me unless it is turned off. What should I do?
Take a flashlight and look in the earphone jack. If you can see a full or half pink or red circle, then the submersion indicator has been triggered. You're not covered by your warranty if this is the case.
I'd recommend sending it to Apple.
In the meantime, run your iPod flat so it is off on the plane. Take your charger with you, and when you're off the plane, charge it again. In the meantime, set it to 1 minute autolock, and use the home button to unlock it instead.
