Ipod lock switch not working

The lock switch on the ipod has quit locking. There is no lock icon on the screen and the scroll wheel remains in use when in the lock position. I have sent it into Apple twice and they keep returning it saying there is no problem. Has anyone else had the lock switch problem? I am getting very frustrated with both the ipod and Apple. Any suggestions???

Have you tried resetting the iPod yet, or doing a restore?

    The iPhone 5 is less than a year old, so all of them should still be in warranty unless they have been jailbroken or physically damaged. If you have a hardware problem as you describe the only option is to get the phone replaced by Apple or repaired by a non-authorized shop. The Apple replacement will be free at any Apple store in the country where the phone was purchased. If Apple determines that the phone was physically damaged or jailbroken it will cost $229.

  • My lock button on my 1 g iPod touch is not working???

    My lock button on my 1 g iPod touch is not working???

    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.

    I just got a new ipod touch 5 hours ago and the slid to un lock is not working. I have tried restoring it and it does nothing to help. Do i need to take it to the store or is there something i cad do to fix this problem?

    Are you swiping your finger all the way from left to right? If you don't swipe all the way, it won't work.

    That indicates you have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod mini si not working and I can't find the answer.

    My ipod mini is not working. I have done all the R things. It won't switch on unless I toggle the hold key, once switched on it asks me to choose a language but pressing the select button does nothing. Can it be saved or should I throw it in a heap with my Dyson vacuum?????????

    It's no longer under warranty? Rather than throw it away, there are 3rd party repair site here in the UK (iPod Doctor is one).
    Might be worth a try because it seems like a hardware issue rather than software.

  • HT1192 Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.

    Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.Please help me to sort this problem out.

    I think even in newer versions of OS X there is a slight delay; just not so pronounced. My advice to get around it would be to install PCKeyboardHack and KeyRemap4MacBook - then do a couple of things:
    Change the Caps Lock key in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys to "None"
    Use PCKeyboardHack to remap Caps Lock to keycode 110, the PC Application Key, which is unused on Apple keyboards.
    Then use KeyRemap4Macbook to map that particular keycode to Toggle Caps Lock.Try selecting For PC Users > Change PC Application Key > Application Key to CapsLock.
    I'm pretty sure that should get rid of the delay, which only happens when Apple is in charge of connecting the Caps Lock key to its action.
    Really, though, I would personally recommend doing some much more awesome things with your Caps Lock key; it's prime keyboard real estate, and who uses caps lock anyway, except in the darkest corners of the Internet? Personally, I've remapped Caps to be Escape (for use in my text editor) when you press it by itself quickly, but to be Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift when you press it with any other key. I call it the "Hyper" key, and use it to switch applications; Hyp+S = Safari, Hyp+D = email, Hyp+F = Finder... The point is, be creative, make the Caps Lock key work for you.
    Oh, and the real Escape key maps to Caps Lock, so I can use it if I want to.

    If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem.  I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.
