Ipod Touch 5.1.1 update lock and volume buttons wont work.

So I just updated my ipod touch 4G to the ios 5.1.1 version and ever since my volume and lock buttons aren't working/responding. The funny thing is, a lot of people are posting the same question but they get the same answer from the same person that says to hold the lock and home button when everybody specifally states that the lock and volume buttons aren't working so those answers are useless. I tried resetting all the settings to factory from the settings menu but still the same problem. What should I do? Is it a bug for every new updater?

Try changing the DNS server on the iPod. See:

Shut off button and volume button wont work on ipod touch. How do I fix this?

The on/off button and volume button won't work on my ipod touch!

You can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price.
Or you can turn on the Assistive Touch Accessibility feature. See chapter 30 of the Users Guide
iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)

I had the same situation with my iPod touch 5th gen. You can manually reboot it thru pressing sleep/wake button and holding it up to 10 secs - no data will be lost.. This didn't work in mine, but to some it did..
If it won't work, you could do what I did which is I reset all settings in the Reset part. It won't lose any data, just the settings (if you have just less settings did to the device, which I had). So just configure or tweak things again in the settings when it reset again.
Hope this somehow helps!

How can I unlock my ipod touch? The screen is locked and has various languages on the sliding bar. It wont let you touch it

As a first attempt, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons untl the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

Hello there, Conorjl7.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good, practical steps for troubleshooting issues with charging:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Okay before my ipod power and volume buttons werent working but i never dropped it, then one day i was in a app and my ipod froze so i held the home button down and the screen went a bright green color and isnt showing up in itunes

okay I just recently bought a ipod touch 4thG and im already having issues. recently the power and volume buttons stopped working after i syncd my ipod, i shrugged it off figuring it would come back i could live without it. but today I was on my ipod while it was charging and the screen just froze so i pressed and held the home button (being that's the only button that actually works) then the screen turned this bright yellowish lime green color and its not responding to ANYTHING! my computer isnt even reading it when i plug it up into itunes! so what should i do? can anyone help me? i feel like i just wasted $200...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Place the iOS device in recovery mode using this program
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
http://jaxov.com/2010/05/recboot-iphone-recovery-mode/and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
Enter DFU mode without home button or Power Button | technoNix
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My on/off button and volume buttons stopped working.

For no apparent reason, the on/off button and volume buttons stopped working. iPod touch 4th gen with 4.3.3 installed.

You can try a couple of things.
First a hard reboot: hold the sleep/wake and home button down until the unit shuts off and boots back up to the Apple screen.
Second restore the device py plugging it into iTunes and under the device summary screen click restore. You want to restore from backup to make sure all your info is synced back to the iPod at the end. Depending on how much stuff is on there this can take a while.
Thrid, take it to the Apple Store and have a Genius look at it. Depending you how bussy your local Apple store is you probably want to make a reservation first.

Try to restore "as new ipod" without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing your problem. How to back up your data and set up as a new device

My screen is frozen and the home and off buttons wont work. what should i do?

What do you do if your iPad screen freezes and it wont do anything? Home and off buttona wont work!

Have you tried both together for a Reset? Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
Failing that see here for unresponsive iPads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

I can listen to music but my silent switch wont work my phone wont vibrate but will ring, and the volume buttons wont work on my iPhone 4

i can listen to music but my silent switch wont work my phone wont vibrate but will ring, and the volume buttons wont work the speaker will work asweell

Have you done a restore of the phone to see if that fixed the problem with the speaker? If that doesnt help then you probably damaged something inside the phone when you dropped it.
If you're annoyed by the problem, you can always get a replacement phone

Updated iPod touch (4th gen) to iOS 6 and iMessage won't work.

This morning I upgraded my 4th generation iPod touch to the new iOS 6, since then everything has worked fine except for iMessage. I went out to a few places with wifi and iMessage worked just fine, got back home and back on my wifi and it no longer worked. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Apparently my iMessage will only work on every wifi network but my own now since the update. Any ideas are appreciated...I am beyond frustrated at this point.

I have been having the same problem. My iMessage will work every now and then but the majority of the time it does not. I have restored my iPod twice and I am still having the same problem.

Iphone in Recovery Mode + Lock and Home Buttons Stopped Working

Hello
Following an update to IOS7 my wifes Iphone 5 restarted and entered recovery mode. I performed a restore in itunes however the device reset and re-entered recovery mode. I performed this serval times.
After downloading a program online which exited the recovery mode for me, i was able to restore my wifes iphone backup with all settings restored etc. So its more or less working.
However i still have the following new problems:
1. Home Buttons not responsive
2. Lock Button not responsive
3. Silent and Volume Buttons Okay.
4. After powering off via the accessbility menu, the recovery mode apears again.
Can anyone help me resolve this fault? The phone keeps entering recovery

Hi mate, thanks for the reply. Looks like the warranty road is the one I'll have to take...
The place I bought it off said it was coming from Australia but I tracked the parcel and it actually got shipped from Hong Kong...
Do the 920's come with manufacturers warranty at all? I don't know how to check if I have warranty haha

Sleep button and volume buttons not working

Just got an Ipod Touch(4th Generation) for Christmas. It seemed to have been working fine, Untill the sleep button and the volume buttons stopped working. They came back on after and hour or so, And several times in the past few days this has happened. Yesterday though, They cut off again and haven't worked at all since. Anyone know how I could fix this without sending it in to Apple? Any answers are strongly appreciated

Sounds like a short; however, you can try restoring and updating from within iTunes.
