  • IPod Touch 5th Generation home button is stuck, support options?

    Hi, I do IT, and when talking to someone in my science class and somehow he brought up the fact that his iPod touch 5th generations home button had become stuck overnight, without cause, it is in a otter box, and has never been dropped, come in contact with water, etc... . I had the exact same problem and luckily when I contacted apple it was the last day of my year long coverage. I checked his serial number and his support has expired, so what are my options? From my research it seems like this issue is not uncommon, and I have read that Apple will replace the defunct unit regardless of the warranty if you bring it to a genius bar, is this true? If it is not, then what would be the price for Apple to repair it, as it is in perfect condition with no scratches, and I would not want to void any future warranty options by replacing the button/screen myself?

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out if Apple will be nice and exchange it for a refurbished iPOd at no cost. Apple dies not repair yur iPOd, they exchange it for a refurbished one. If Apple will not exchange it at no cost, the exchange price is $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs

  • 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

  • My iPod Touch 5th Generation home button is broken?

    My ipod's home button just suddenly stopped working one day. I haven't dropped it or got any liquid on it, and so I HAVE NO IDEA why it just suddenly stopped working and honestly it makes me kind of mad. My one-year warranty on it was over a couple of months ago. I am wondering if there is any way to fix it for free or anything? or like how much does it cost?

  • 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.

  • My Ipod touch (first generation) won't update to the latest software.

    Hi, my ipod touch (first generation) still has the version 2 software and wont update to the 3? Everytime i plug my ipod into my computer, itunes keeps telling me it has the latest version, when obviously it doesnt. How can i update it? Because it wont update i cant download any applications. The internet and music and everything else works except i cant download apps.
    is it my itunes or the actual ipod? should i reinstall itunes? my itunes is up to date: 10.1.1
    Thank you.

    There is no other way to obtain the iOS 3.1 update, but it is available in the Irish iTunes Store; I'm looking at it right now (it's 3,99 Euros), and accessed it from the page I referenced above (both from a Mac and from Windows using both IE and Firefox). If it's coming up and saying that you need iTunes, something's amiss with how iTunes is installed on your system, or with your web browser; you might try a different browser.

  • Can I update my Ipod touch first generation to iOS 4.3?

    I've had my 16 GB ipod touch first generation (With built in WiFi) since it was the newest model out. I would like to update to a newer model but money is tight. I was hoping someone could tell me if, and how, I can update my ipod to the latest software from Apple, so as to get apps and games and an overall fresher feel for the device. It is in very good shape, never damaged or serviced, and I still have close to 3 GB of room on it. I use it 99.5% for music storage and playage. I am brutally ignorant when it comes to keeping up to date with technology, and even moreso with apple, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
