  • IPod Touch 4th Generation Home button semi-stuck, iPod Touch 4th Generation Home button semi-stuck

    Hi,
    this is my first post here.
    My iPod touch 4th gen has been experiencing some problems with the home button lately. The home button is semi stuck. It works but I have to press it really lightly at times and really hard at other times. I don't know what happened. I let my little brother play with it for a day, and when he returned it to me it was like this. I tried recalibrating it but it was no good. I would try the alcohol method, but there's no alcohol allowed in my house. I tried asking my parents to get me a swab for this purpose and they refused lol. Should I try using a wet q-tip around the home button? Or should I try using my vacuum cleaner's pipe suction things on the usb port thing while holding down the home button? Any and all help is appreciated

  • IPod Touch 3rd Generation Home Button stuck

    Okay, I'm sure this question has been asked four hundred thousand times before, I have a 3rd gen ipod touch 32 gb model and I use it on a daily basis. I've dropped the thing so many times and the only damage is a few scratches (surprised the screen hasn't broke to be honest, but it hasn't!). So anyways, the home button doesn't work anymore. Normally when you press the button you would hear a nice satisfactory click. Well, recently it wouldn't work quite right but you could still persuade the home button to work. Now though, you can't press it at all. You can get the button to respond if you apply enough force to it,but that warps the screen itself and no one's got time for that. Taking it to a repair shop isn't really an option ($249 to repair it? might as well buy a new one!). So if there is any potential fix, please let me know. Note that I have heard of these tricks already:
    - putting a drop of rubbing alcohol on the home button and letting it into the button by pressing the home button with a pencil eraser. I won't do this because I don't see putting any liquid on an electronic.
    - blowing into the charging port will somehow make the button pop back up. what a load that is.
    - placing the ipod facedown in a bowl of rice. Seems just as stupid a trick as pouring rubbing alcohol on it.
    - and rapidly pressing the power button and the home button until the screen flashes white (which I thought meant you took a screen cap by pressing those buttons simultaneously) either way, this solution didn't work.
    If anyone has a good method to try and can back it up with proof that said method works (not just 'trust me, it works') that'd be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to have to buy a new iOS device as I haven't been impressed with the last few years of updates.

  • Ipod Touch (1st generation) power button

    Yesterday my ipod's power button wasn't working right. To unlock it I had to press the menu button because pressing the power button wasn't working. Then to lock it again I had to repeatedly press the power button around 30 times. Then to shut it off I had to hold the power button for 3 minutes. And that only worked once. After a little while it went back to doing what it was supposed to. Then today it started doing the same thing and is still doing it. Is there anyway to fix it? I Really don't want to buy a new ipod. Any help it greatly appreciated.

    Mikalatte--
    I'd at least take it in to be looked at--exams are free, if I am not mistaken.
    I don't think it's a software issue...though you could try a reset and a synch.

  • How to fix a iPod touch 4th generation lock button?

    so I went to apple to see if they could fix my lock button. They said i would have to pay a replacement cost of $99 and i already did to because I cracked the screen a few months ago. So there is no way that i will pay it again, IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO GET IT FIXED?

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar      
    If the Genius can't unstick it:
    - They will exchange it at no cost if the iPod is defective, within warranty and not abuse.
    - otherwise the exchange price is $199 for 64 GB on and $99 for the others.

  • How to unjam sleep/power button? iPod touch 4th generation

    A few days ago, I was using my ipod touch 4th generation. It working fine. A minute later, I went to use it again, & for some reason my sleep/power button was jammed. I have to use immense pressure to make it go to sleep. Is there a way I could get it unjammed without opening my iPod? I don't want to risk it breaking it any further. I would take it to the Apple Store, but I don't have warranty on it anymore since I got it a little over a year ago when it first released. My screen is also cracked from last December. Will the Apple Store still fix the sleep/power button and maybe my screen without warranty? & how much will be? Individual or both? Much appreciated!

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.
    Some of the suggestions in the following previous dicussion are also applicable to the power switch.

  • Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

    You will need to do a DFU restore by holding the home and power buttons down (while the device is plugged in to your computer) until the device's screen goes black and as soon as the screen goes black, count down from 3 and release the power/sleep button, but keep holding down the home button. Then, iTunes will say the iPod needs to be restored. The restore process will take some time and even though the iPod may appear to be frozen, don't interrupt the restore.
