IPod takes screenshot while only pressing one button

Hey Guys
About 2 weeks ago the power button on my iPod touch 4g broke. I went to the apple store and got a new iPod. It works fine, except for one pretty annoying error.
It randomly starts taking screenshots when pressing either the Power- OR the Home-button, NOT BOTH. This means that I cant turn the iPod off cause it takes a screenshot and I also cant go to the home screen because pressing the Home button also takes a screenshot.
Does someone else knows this problem and knows how wo fix it? Any help is 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. A replacement iPod comes with a 90 warranty or the remainder of the original warranty,, whichever is greater.

    Hey there Palmer
    How are you?
    Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
    I did the following:
    My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
    The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
    It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
    Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
    Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
    I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
    Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
    If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
    Kind regards

  • My ipod nano 6 will only play one or two songs then I have to force the next song to play. It will start several songs before settling on one. This just started and I havent changed anything. How to I make it go back to playing songs continuously?

    Then back it up and do a restore.  If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • Bluetooth Wireless Mighty Mouse only detect one button click

    I have had my Apple Bluetooth wireless Mighty Mouse for a little over a year and it has just recently began to only detect on button function, and cannot differentiate between left click, right click, or the scroll click.
    It behaves slightly differently under different settings. When I have the scroll click set to do ANYTHING, any click on the mouse will do that respective action. When I have the scroll click turned off, and the left is set to primary and right is secondary, it will do the Primary action. When I have the left set to secondary, and the right set to primary, it will still do the Primary action.
    I have looked all over the internet and have found very little help. The scroll wheel is fine so I don't really want to have to take it apart and glue it back together. Anybody know any tricks? Anything will help! Thanks!

    I found a partial fix over on this thread.
    Basically, the fix is to install the shareware program USB Overdrive and set up the buttons via its control panel. Then uninstall it.
    In my case, USB Overdrive brings my mouse back to normal operation, but when I uninstall it, my mouse goes back to acting like a one-button mouse.
    For now, I'll keep USB Overdrive installed. Maybe I can bill Apple for the $20!

  • Ipod takes a while to turn off

    When I'm listening to my music, and then I exit my playist and go back to the main menu, and I try to turn it off, I have to hold the play/pause button about 5 or 6 times. How can I make it so I only have to turn off my ipod once.

    Hi Chibi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    So its turning off, and then turning back on? Do you put use the hold switch after you turn it off? You can find more information about the Hold Switch in Knowledge Base Document #60951.
    I hope that helps,

  • Spartan-3A development board unusable by pressing one button

    Hi all,
    I just killed one of my two brand new spartan-3a development boards (HW-Spar3a-sk-uni-G; Rev D). i was programming the Atmel flashn when my boss came into my office and i opened another window because i had to look up something for him. this new window was in front of my impact window and i could not see it anymore. when i thought impact was done i pressed the Prog_B button. But impact was not done. now i am not able to program the board anymore. Neither by the direct method with the onboard usb not with the Platform Cable USB II.
    I even installed inmpact 11 for direct spi programming, but this did not work either.
    It always told me that the FPGA ID does not match with the one in the BDSL-file.
    After trying the SPI programming a new JTAG initializing of the chain shows me the PROM (xcf04s) and an unknown device.
    I am not able to program the PROM (probably wrong jumpers?). I am also not able to do anything with the board.
    What can i do to restore my board?
    best regards
    Sebastian

    Hi,
    thanks for the reply.
    Personally i don't believe in ESD-spikes. I work with Hardware since about 10 years and i am not very careful with it and i have never seen a negative effect after an ESD-Spike. :-)
    But I'll check the power issue and i'll reply to you after i have checked it.
    best regards

  • We have three Ipads in our house.  We have one itunes account with multiple devices like two Iphones and Apple TV.   My question is about our three Ipads.   How can I set up the imessaging and facetime on all three devices while only using one Itunes acct

    Okay.  We have three Ipads in our house with only one Itunes account.   When I go into imessaging and facetime on each of the devices, it wants to start switching my wife's cell phone and then the three emails associated with each Ipad to the contact information for all of the Ipads.    As of this morning, only the imessaging and facetime are turned on my wife's iphone and ipad.   My kids imessaging and facetime is turned off.     Do you really have to have an itunes account for each device to make then work???    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Ryan

    There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:
    iTunes- How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
    iTunes- How to share music and video
    iTunes- How to share music between different accounts on a single computer

  • Can anyone please advise me how to set up multiple users, with multiple devices while only sharing one iMac, thanks.

    My partner and I both have iPhones and iPads but share an iMac, as our contacts and calendars go through iCloud, both gets merged when it comes into iCal and contacts. Do we have to set up separate accounts on the iMac to handle this correctly? Thanks

  • Taking a screenshot while touching the screen with iOS6

    Hello,
    Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S to the new iOS6 I noticed I can't take screenshots while touching the screen, for example - if I want to take a screenshot of a text message while rolling up the screen (so that only a certain part of the screen will be in the picture) I can't do it - the screenshot saved would be of the whole screen. Same goes with every application (Whatsapp, Snapchat etc.).
    Does anyone know what can I do? Is it a problem with my device, or is it some kind of a bug in the iOS6?
    Thanks ahead.

    Your cellular or wireless may have dropped when the call came in.  Especially when driving.
    Cheers

  • Was able to take screenshots, now I cannot

    I used to be able to take screenshots while on the Internet. Now I can only take screenshots when I am not using the Internet. I reset Firefox but that did not solve the problem. I believe that after a MS update in August may have changed my settings on Firefox which disabled my ability to take screenshots while on the Internet.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
