IPhone 4S power button stuck in down position

I just got 3 iPhone 4S's for Christmas for my kids through Sprint. I am having a problem with one of the Power buttons stuck in the down position. Sprint won't swap out the phone because they say I "ordered" them more than 14 days ago, even though I activated them on Dec. 25th. So, now I have to drive 2 hrs to an Apple Store. WHY????? Why can't sprint swap out this phone? Why do I have to drive two hours to get to an Apple store so they can swap it out??

Apple will cross ship you a replacement. They will require placing a hold on your credit card, but you will not be charged so long as you return the old one.
As for the drive, I guess it's all a matter of perspective. I make the drive from West of Cleveland, OH to near Pitsburgh every few months to take the wife to the outlet malls where there's no sales tax on clothing. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that my wife usually manages to buy enough that I save enough in sales taxes to cover the cost of gas back and forth...

Volume button stuck in down position

my volume button is stuck in the down position on the + side. How can I fix this? Is there a fix for this? Appreciate any help.

I had a broken home button within 6 months. It was replaced under warranty. Now I have a broken volume up button less than a year later. They want $65 to fix with 90 day warranty. This is a major defect and they should have recalled these units. It is insane that they are still ignoring this problem and telling people to pay to have it fixed. I'm filing a complaint against Apple.

Iphone 4 power button is stuck down and iphone won't turn on

My iPhone 4 power button is stuck down, and it won't come back up. The next best part is, my phone is either off or dead i don't know which, and i plug it into my computer/wall charger and nothing happens.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPhone Power Button Stuck

I currently have an iPhone 4 which I have had for around 7 months and the power button is stuck. I would just like to know what apple will do if I take it to an apple store?

Same thing happened to my iphone after it fell out of the poorly designed Griffin Elan leather holster case. Power button stuck on, phone cycling until dead. I read about the disassembly to fix, but figured that was out of my comfort zone.
I fixed it though, sort of.
I took an old Bic disposable razor and using a pair of wire cutters, I trimmed away the blade protector , leaving the plastic base and blade protruding. I broke off the handle and had a makeshift thin razorknife-like tool.
I inserted the corner of the thin razor blade between the metal case and the plastic button and pried the button up. Took two tries and the button was no longer stuck in the down position. The phone works now!
Of course, if I try to push the button back down it will probably stick, but I didn't usually power it off very often anyway.
I might try to grind the case with a dremel tool or something like that to keep if from sticking, but haven't tried that yet.
Hope this helps someone else.

This will be covered for free under Apple Warranty. Until you do this, a software workaround is a Virtual Lock Button in Assistive Touch on iPhone. Tap Settings App>General>Accessibility>Assitive Touch>ON>Tap new Virtual White Screen Button>tap Device> tap Lock Screen. If you hold down on the Lock Screen Icon it will give you the "slide to power off". To turn iPhone ON, connect to Power Source with USB Cable, via Charger or Computer USB Port.

iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake Button Replacement Program

Safari will lock up on my MacBook Pro. Force quit doesn't help. When I try to restart the computer, I get an error saying Safari cancelled the restart. I have to press the power button to shut down the computer.

While I'm using safari, it will freeze up. When I force quit safari and reopen it, I find that I'm back to where I was when I did the force quit and safari remains locked up. When I try to restart the computer, I get a pop up that says that safari cancelled my restart. I then press the power button to shut down the computer. When I reboot the computer and open safari, I see all the tabs and windows that were opened when this issue began, only this time safari isn't frozen. This problem started yesterday.
Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there a fix for this problem?

Try Resetting Safari: Open Safari. Cick on the name Safari in the menu bar. In the drop down menu click Reset Safari.

Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. any suggestions?

Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. I now have to go to the apple icon in the upper left corner. Any short cuts instead of going to the apple in the top left corner and hitting shut down. Doing that all the time, I feel like I am back at work using a "Windows" computer.

This a is tricky one, but you can still do it. Instead of pressing the power button, hold it down for a few seconds and then you'll see the shut down options dialog pop up.
I guess they were trying to prevent accidental touching of that button. They did something similar with the Eject button a few versions ago, where you have to hold down Eject instead of just tapping it so that you don't pop out a CD by mistake.
