Ipod "slide to unlock" wont slide

i restored my ipod because the slidebar wasn't sliding , and it still wont work .

Restore to factory defaults/new iPod if you have not already. If you still have the problem then it appears that you have a hardware and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Slide to unlock wont work

    My slide to unlock wont work on my iphone 3gs.I have tried to reset it. It won't slide to power off. It won't let me answer calls or texts but I can adjust the volume on the side buttons. Please help.

    Okay--listen everyone--I actually have a fix for this.  I am so happy to help, because I know how frustrated I was!
    I have a iPod touch 3rd gen.  The screen slide was stuck in the lock position.  Over the course of the past three months I have tried the following with no success:
    1.) Reboot (holding the power and home button simultaneously)
    2.) Restore (both types--yes, I did the hard, factory reset) SEVERAL times.
    3.) I pushed on the screen in every corner, sometimes very hard.
    4.) I tried giving several voice control commands.
    Everything I read on line (I've spent several hours researching), said the only thing I could do was bring it in to the Apple Store Genius Bar--they priced the labor at about $150!  For which I could buy a new one.  Then I remembered something CRAZY I had read a while back--I wasn't even sure I remember the correct order or even the explanation.  All I know is that it WORKED!  This is what I did.
    a.) I put the iPod in a ziplock bag and pushed all the excess air out before sealing it.
    b.) I put it in the freezer over night!  (Crazy, right?)
    c.) Then about 24 hours later, I took it out--it was frozen solid--and tried to power it up.  No luck.
    d.) I immediately put it under the hair dryer on high heat, high air.  About 20-30 seconds from, then the same for the back. 
    e.) I tried to power it up; the Apple icon appeared!
    f.) While it was powering up, I kept the air on it, rotating front and back--It got hot.  (I stopped after 1 minute.)
    g.) When the home, configure screen reappeared, I was able to slide the slick, and re-configure!
    h.) I've restored a previous back-up off my iTunes account, and the iPod is working again.  Resurrected!
    If memory serves, the explanation I read is that many of the apply devices have an internal shutdown switch before they fry or freeze in extreme temps.  My guess is that the shutdown forces and internal reboot.  All I know is that after trying EVERYTHING ELSE--this method worked.  I did this on 18 October 2014.

  • My slide to unlock wont work  help

    my iphone slide to unlock wont work

    TJBUSMC 1973 - I had thought that all of your comments were very sensible but I have has the same problem that deuce78 had. Bought a new iPad 2 just before Christmas, managed to set it up with passcode etc and now everything has frozen. Tried everything within my limited knowledge and was unable to resolve. Phoned Apple helpdesk and a gentleman be told that yes, they would be able to help with a reset as and asked me to wait for a minute or so. When he returned he told me that I would need to pay around £80 for a twelve month software support package. I told him that I do not want this, just an answer to the problem that I was having with a brand new product. He categorically told me (and I am being totally honest here and not exaggerating) that in that case he could not help me. I stressed that it is a brand new iPad and that I had added no apps or software, it had just stopped working on the first day that I tried to use it and that surely if they could talk me through a solution they should do so free of charge. To this there was a straight no, I asked if there were any other options or another number that I could ring, and again was told no.
    So which is the truth that will set us free?
    I am off tomorrow on a 30 mile round trip to the Apple store to get my iPad replaced when it sounds like it could have been sorted over the phone!

  • I am unable to sign in to my wi fi network on my ipod because the keyboard wont come up. what do i do?

    i am unable to sign in to my wi fi network on my ipod because the keyboard wont come up. what do i do? please help me out

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Cannot unlock phone swipe to unlock wont work can only swipe up for control pannel and camera but no buttons will work cant even turn off and on as it wont work

    iPhone 4S. Swipe to unlock wont work can only swipe up for control pannel and camera but no buttons will work cant even turn off and on as it wont work. cannot restore iphone either as it wont let me.

    Hey Angus97,
    These are the recommended troubleshooting steps to take when you are unable to Slide to Unlock:
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • Forgot code on ipod how to unlock?

    forgot code on ipod how to unlock?

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • HT1339 my ipod won't unlock

    My ipod will not unlock when I slide the little button at the top of the iPod
    The computer won't recognize it either
    What should I do?

    If none of the 5 R's are able to resolve the issue, it's likely a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service. The hold switch is faulty.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs
    It might help to let the iPod's battery fully drain first and then charge it back up.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
