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,

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.

Center Button Not Working Correctly

I just bought a 30gb Ipod today and when I operate the wheel and center button, about half of the time the center button doesnt work until I touch the wheel.
Example. I wheel down to "music" and click center and it goes to the next screen, then wheel down to "album" and nothing happens until I touch the wheel again. This happens maybe half the time. Am I doing something wrong? Should I return it? It is a small problem, but an annoying one, and for a brand new $250 device, I want it to be perfect.

Hi Nick,
This could be either a more software-oriented problem with your iPod, or hardware.
Let's start out by resetting your iPod. To reset an iPod:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times. (be sure to leave it on the white side of the switch, which is teh off position)
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
You might need to attempt at this several times. For more effect, try connecting your iPod to a power source while you try with the resetting.
Also, you could try restoring your iPod to factory settings. For instructions on how to restore an iPod, check out this Knowledge Base article:

IPod home button not working

Hi
I have an iPod touch 4th generation and the home button isn't working. It's not the normal issue where it's stuck, or it won't function because you can't press it. The home button on my iPod is visible, as in the black button has been removed and I can see the tiny circular home button, (if you've ever seen the inside the iPod). When I press the tiny circular button, it doesn't work. Circuitry issues, maybe? If anyone could help, I'd be so grateful.

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...

Ipod Nano Buttons not working??

I have an Ipod nano 1st generation atleast thats what my Brother says.
But any way, the Buttons stopped working after I went on a camping trip about 2 weeks ago. my friend was using it and when I tried to turn it on when I got home, it didn't work.
Any Ideas on what I should do??

This happened to me too, don't worry, it can be fixed. Hold down the center button and the menu button until you see the apple logo, then you can let go, it should unfreeze your ipod and make the buttons work again.

Ipod hold button not working

I sent my ipod to apple to get the battery replaced.
On receiving the ipod back i realised the hold button did not work and that the ipod was continuosly crashing when on the move and downloading songs from i tunes.
I contacted the support team thinking i could send it back under the 90 day gurantee (because it was apple who sent me the new ipod back), but because i purchased it 2004 they said I had to purchase some apple protection at £39.99, is this true?
Even though it was apple who sent me a brand new ipod back!!

HT201322 iPod home button not working

Hi my iPod touch 4 GEN home button is not working, I have tried everything it said to fix it like hold the top button to peer it off but then hold the home button for 10-15 sec until it goes back to the home screen which worked but right after that, when I go to a app, the home button will instantly stop working. What should I do? Get a the new iPod 5 or any ways to fix it.

I'd take it back - especially if you bought it recently. Most of the time they're REALLY NICE about taking care of the products.
If they find that it's because of misuse though, you're on your own

I have tried to restart the device and I have restored the device but that has not solved the problem.The iPod is not very old, has not been dropped and is in a case. Please help!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Its possibly because its only a 1g iPod. I suggest you either get a newer iPod or bring it to an Apple store and see what they can do.

Have you tried the standard fixes:

- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.
