I had my 4g iPod for about 8 months and the power button is stuck any ideas would greatly be appreciated

Try:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
- If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch
- If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
- There are third-party places like the following that will repair the Home button. Google for more.

    Try restoring the iPod to rule out a software problem. First restore from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod.
    Then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Apple Ipod 4th gen power button stuck

    hopefully someone will help me out. My ipod power button is stuck and i have no idea how to get it unstuck anyway that i can? or do i have to get it replaced?

    There isn't anything a user can do to unstick the button that will not void a warranty or any support from the Apple techs.  Best thing to do is take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out and see what they say to do.

  • My ipod power button is stuck

    The power button on my 6th gen power button stuck.  I found out that this is a VERY weak design and has happened to numerous others, some on replacements they've received under their warranty.  It's my understanding it's used on the Gen 7 devices as well.  Mine is not that old and was not heavily used. I took very good care of it and it has no exterior damage at all.  The button just stuck one day.  I picked it up and the the button was stuck in the down position.  The device will not operate unless plugged into a power supply, which is DEFINITELY not convenient.
    I took it to the Apple Store and they were totally uninterested in it, other than i could pay to get it fixed or get some kind of credit for the purchase of another. Personally, with the margins Apple charges for their devices, it's taking  borderliine criminal advantage of customers.  If it cost 29.95 and it was a year old that's one thing, but these are expensive devices that one should expect to stand up to light use.  I'm disappointed in Apple and i'm outta here, as far as every buying another device. 
    My advice is to steer clear of Apple until they respect their customers a little more.
    Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    Apple will most likely exchange it. The one you receive will be refurbished.

  • Ipod Nano - Power Button Stuck

    I had a nano that I dropped and paid to replace at the Genius Bar in September of 2012. Just a couple of weeks ago, the power button became stuck all of a sudden (literally, worked fine using it on the commute to work in the morning, became stuck on the commute home), making it exteremly difficult to press and function.
    I just contacted AppleCare in which they said it was out of warranty because it was purchased in October 2005 (I think that was my 1st gen Nano!). I paid to have my nano replaced way under a year ago and they said it's because the warranty doesn't roll over?? Is this true? So if that's the case, if all of a sudden it stopped working a day after I get a replacement, I' would be out of luck too??
    Please help! I don't want to put more money into this.

    I had this question too and I brought my nano to the genius bar (remember to make reservation before going), they let me pay HK$488 and issued me a brand new 6th, exactly the same model of the one I had! Super satisfied, you should have a try too.
    My previously replaced 6th nano the power button stuck, I think because I made use of the fast key of skipping the songs (pressing the home button twice while playing songs), the button I guess suggested to be over-used.
    Good luck

  • Power Button Stuck, Screen Freezes, Apps won't turn on, ETC.

    Please Understand, I am an apple customer, I buy apple technology, and I purchase from the app and music store.
         I am very unhappy with the service and technology Apple has provided me with. I am 15 years old and I don't have a phone to communicate with, only an iPod because my parents are of the older generation and don't think young people should have phones. So I guess I'm **** out of luck until I'm 17. So instead of having a phone, I bought and ipod touch 4g so I could use Kik, Snapchat, TextFree, and listen to my music as well. I have used multiple other Apple iPods, only to find out that every single one I got either got corrupted or would just out of the blue stop working. Just recently, I found out how ****** the iPod screens are, my iPod screen dropped not even 2 feet and shattered. So I had my brother in law, who has a computer and technology business, replace my screen and put in a new one. After my screen was put in, my ipod was completely fine. Had no issues and no cracks. But just 3 weeks ago my iPod power button somehow got stuck. I tried mutliple things to fix it, (even had my brother in law try) and we found that there is no way to fix it, AND I found out that the price to pay to fix a stupid power button was $99.00. By the way, paying to get a lousy power button fixed is ******* ridiculous, considering that making a piece of **** like this iPod, probably costs around half the price that it sells for AND is made in either China or Taiwan. Now I know I might get some pretty snobby *** comments about how I don't need an iPod because I'm just a little spoiled brat. Actually that statement is false, considering that I have to work to buy my own iPod. Now, instead of just writing a crap ton of useless words that I know alot of poeple won't read, I will just list the problems that I am having:
    Power button is stuck and won't let me do anything. (No, I am not talking about the home button located and the bottom of the iPod)
    Apps ALWAYS crash and never let me do what I intend to do. (I don't know if that's because of the app manufacturers or not but my apps are all completely updated)
    My music on various occassions won't turn on.
    Whenever I try tapping on an app, it leads me to another app in which I don't need to get to.
    My keyboard on all occassions wigs out, (for example: when I tap the letter T my keyboard makes Tttttttttttt. I don't need that many T's, sorry)
    My camera is slow, and will not take pictures most of the time.
    My asssistive touch NEVER works.
    I have called Apple support and whenever I would get connected to a representative they wouldn't help me.
    The Apple support service *****.
         As you can tell, I am not a very happy customer and I'm sure you wouldn't be either considering the fact that my iPod is basically toast, and a big waste of money. I know there are more things to worry about like cancer and whatever BUT this is a technoloical issue not a health issue so don't even try to play that card. If I could have any assistance regarding my issue, I would love to have help.
    Thank you for taking your time to read my novel of an issue.

    I would recommend that you try backing up your iPod and wiping it clean. Once it is factory reset, restore your data onto it. This should solve your software-based issues.
    Now, the stuff that happens, such as another app opening or the keyboard freaking out, if not fixed by the restore, are because of your replacement screen. Also, Apple is charging you $99 to repair the lock button because you have voided the warranty by breaking the device. Who knows? Maybe the drop or the repair caused the button to go out of wack.
    Finally, it's cool that you work for your own stuff. I live in a lower middle class area in a lower middle class family and pay for all of my stuff as well. My MacBook Pro, my iPhone 5S, my iPad Air, etc. I know the pain of spending hard earned money. BTW, I'm only 17, and still in High School as well.
    Anywho, let me know if the restore works, but as for the physical damage caused by you, you can't blame anyone but yourself for that. I wish you luck.

  • Nano power button stuck

    My ipod took a dump on me yesterday at work when the power button stoped working on the top.  Now ive only had it for about 6 months and my question is will this be covered by the warranty?  Also the touchscreen is cracked but works fine will they make me pay for the screen even though i just need the power button fixed?

    I had this question too and I brought my nano to the genius bar (remember to make reservation before going), they let me pay HK$488 and issued me a brand new 6th, exactly the same model of the one I had! Super satisfied, you should have a try too.

  • 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.

  • TS3474 Power button stuck?

    My iPod power button is stuck

    Take it to the apple store but in the meanwhile, Go to settings app > General > Accessibility > Assistive touch > Switch ON > Tap the white circle in the grey square > Click Device > Click Lock Screen. That is how you can turn it off. If you do not like Assistive Touch, then you can just wait for it to turn off by itself. It wastes battery but to help go to Settings app > General > Auto-Lock > 1 minute. Now it will automatically switch to lock screen faster. Obviously to turn on the device click the home button. Has it been one year since you bought the iPod? If it hasn't all iPods are under a one year warranty. I hope this helps you. -Pandaluver2334

  • 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.

  • 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...
