IPod Center Button Not Responding

Hello,
I have a relatively new 80GB iPod that I bought on 8/15/07. Over the past couple of days, I notice that it does not respond well when I press the center button to get it out of sleep mode. I have to press the button over and over again before it finally wakes up. Each day, I find I'm having to press it more times.
Does anyone know what this means?

but perhaps its the best, maybe you should send your iPod in for a warranty repair, you have the right you know?, those ***** can't tell you otherwise, but i understand you use it for your work, hey, by the way, how can i do that?, i could use the ipod as a recorder too
If you choose not to send it in, you could make worse, imagine, youre pressing the button and suddenly pops out, that's not a warranty covered defect, in fact, they wont take it anymore because they'll think you dropped the iPod or something
Personally, i would take that risk
I Have my own Early 5th gen 30 GB iPod, and indeed it has failed from time to time, but i found out that sometimes Resets and things like that actually are needed for a maintenance on a regular basis, so i do not blame apple for it, ENTIRELY, i live in Venezuela, its like 4500 miles off the U.S, believe me, if my iPod failed like that i would have more trouble than you do hahahahahahaha, no offense...

  • 2nd Gen iPod center button not working

    I have tried just about everything to get the center button to work. It has stopped on me once before, but it was a long time ago and I can't remember what I did to fix it.
    Every other button works just not the center button. I have tried restoring it, resetting it, and toggling the hold button. But to no avail it will not work.
    If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

    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.
    - 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: How to back up                                                 
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    CAUTION
    Before you restore/update the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to your iTunes library. See:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • My ipods power button not responding when pushed

    my ipods power button and volume buttons are not responding when pushed

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Restore the iPOd from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem then it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Center button not working

    Hi, I have a iPod U2 Special Edition (The first special edition iPod) and the center button on the iPod no longer fully works. Sometimes it works just fine and then it doesnt. also, Sometimes toggling the HOLD switch makes the iPod act as if i clicked the center button and then it doesnt work again forr another couple hours. I tried Resetting the iPod, Restoring it , but i didnt open it as some people suggested b/c i would like to see other suggestions before i crack open my expensive iPod with a screwdriver. Any Help is Appreciated.
    Thanks Lots Guys,

  • My ipod touch is not responding. It wont turn on. I have plugged it to the wall charger and have tried plugging it to my itunes, no signal is received or transmitted. what could be wrong?

    my ipod touch is not responding. It wont turn on. I have plugged it to the wall charger and its not receiving a signal. I have plugged to my itunes and its not sending a signal to my computer. what could be wrong?

    Did you check the USB cable or try another one?
    Did you check the docking port for any kind of debris or lint?
    Did you already try to reset your device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?

  • My ipod touch is not responding when i plugged it  in even with a different cord and restarting my computer

    my ipod touch is not responding when i plugged it  in even with a different cord and restarting my computer and i am using my moms itunes that she has had for a long time and so i cant uninstall itunes.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • Buttons not responding correctly

    Help
    I am trying to get a simulation to work but I have problems
    with buttons not responding to actionscript properly.
    Here is how I have it layed out:
    I have a labels layer with 12 keyframes labeled scn2A,
    scn2B...scn2L
    I have a buttons layer with all of the buttons on it.
    The buttons layer has 12 keyframes.
    One button advance to the next frame, the other advances to
    the next scene.
    Each keyframe has the same buttons but different instance
    names. scn2DwnA_btn, scn2DwnB_btn...scn2DwnK_btn.
    The last keyframe uses a different button with an instance
    name of scn2Ok_btn
    here is the problem, when I test the movie everything works
    fine until the last frame.
    The DOWN button is used to advance each frame and then the OK
    button is used to advance to the next scene
    The down button has no script in the last frame but it is
    advancing to the next scene upon a mouse click.
    I would be glad to email source to anyone who would like to
    help.
    Thanks

    The code is just basic button code:
    scn3Ok_btn.onRelease = function...
    all code for each button is on a frame in an actions layer.
    each frame is a keyframe.
    So frame one actions would reference the instance names for
    the buttons in frame one of the timeline.
    Frame two actions would reference the instance names for the
    buttons in frame two of the timeline.

  • Is anyone having trouble with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1 OS?

    Is anyone having problems with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    You will not belive how I accidently solved this - !!!
    Yes I had the problem immediately after the 5.1.1 'cloud' upgrade, the problems started (on my iphone 4) ... I followed the 'get power down button, then hold HOME for 30 secs' solution, but no result, nothing seemed to work and I was starting to get a bit agressive with the keep it pushed, multiple double click frustrations, icopybot multigesture solutions etc. and paid money ... but this comedy solution now works ...
    I discovered it because I ordered a waterproof case for my iphone for my motorcycle ... I've just fitted it to my iphone and all the problems have gone ??? what! ... so wondering why I looked at what the home button on the casing was doing - it was pressing ACROSS the home button i.e. it converted my finger point into a wider 'PRESS
    so taking the new case off, instead of using the point of my thumb to press HOME, I used the flat of my thumb to emulate it ....and initially nothing, so I wondered if it wa making better 'cross button' contacts, so I licked my thumb, wiped it and then tried again! - it worked!
    I can't explain it but it seems to work - try it! if the double click on HOME doesn't work lick your thumb dry it and try again! I've just done it again
    what a mad techno world we live in! :-)

  • After updating to iOS 6.0.1 volume button not responding even theirs no volume slider in music app nor video app plz help m using iPhone 4 os Windows 8

    After updating to iOS 6.0.1 volume button not responding even theirs no volume slider in music app nor video app plz help m using iPhone 4 os Windows 8

    I suppose that you can demand all you want. It would have to be proven that the iOS update broke this particular function but it could also be said that it was just a matter of time that the broken thing manifested itself. Since the phone is out of warranty, it could also be said that it is your risk to update software. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but we are not Apple. We are users like you and just try and provide support to other users. What you decide to do from here is your decision. I've given you all I know to do.

  • ITunes Music and Home button not responding

    Itunes Music & Home button not responding all other content OK when music button clicked displays the following "The item you've requested is not currently available in the UK store"

    I haven't read this whole post - in fact I almost stopped reading any of these post. I read all the horrors look over at my own phone (which is working correctly at the moment) and wonder when it is going to go belly up.
    jyoz, Try doing a DFU and setting up as new. I don't believe that "Restore" goes deep enough to clear the bad code.
    Do you also have poor battery life?
    The reason I ask is I am starting to believe there is a piece of code that is corrupt and running at near 100% CPU usage.
    If this is the case it sort of explains button, icons and poor battery life.
    There is one other suggestion that I have read that says delete all email accounts and reset/erase all. Then go to DFU and setup as a new phone. This procedure probably gives you the best chance of clearing out the Bad Code Snippet. Just to defend all this crap that we have to go thru I did get an Apple/at&t support guy tell me that even "Push" on email is/does not always work correctly. Once he realized what he said I could not get him to talk about it anymore - Apple you gotta love-em.
    I know you have been thru hoops trying to fix this but you only have two option take it to a store and don't leave until you get a new one that they have updated to 4.1 for you or try some of the extreme suggestion that I am repeating from other post.
    Best of luck - and please remember sometime there are failure that you at home are just never going to fix - so if you don't feel like another Excedrin headache GO TO THE STORE AND EXCHANGE IT if for no other reason than to preserve you mental health.
