Ipod touch, how do i add sleep/wake buttons

I have an ipod touch 2nd gen. The Sleep/wake & volume buttons are unresponsive.
Is it possible to add virtual sleep/wake buttons and volume buttons to my home screen?
Thank you

No. Assistive oud was first introduced in either iOS 5 or 6 but your 2G can only go to 4.2.1

Is there a way to reset iPod touch 4th gen without the sleep/wake button?

Hey everyone! My iPod touch 4th gen power button is jammed into the iPod itself. This is obviously a big issue, but is not the main point of this post. My iPod has been laggy and slow, so I need to reset it. (NOT restore, but slide to power off; press and hold home+power for 10 seconds) is there a way for me to do this without my sleep/wake button.
Thanks in advance.

To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices

New computer, ipod touch. how to permanently add library to computer

just got a new computer.. dont have the old one. my ipod has 800 something songs that are not purchased from itunes. my computer does not show my ipod in my drivers so i cannot put the songs on it. my library only shows when plugged up, it won't permanently stay. does anyone know what to do? and also, if i update the software on my ipod will it erase all of my songs? comment if you have had experience with this.

You should always move your music and all of your other info/pics/docs from your old computer to your new one ( and you should always have a backup copy).
It seems you did neither of these things.
You could try, at your risk, a 3rd party program (not supported by Apple)to try and get the music from ipod.

Sleep/wake button and artwork issues .. any advice appreciated

I recently went through all my songs and put the correct album artwork and such. After I synced everything, the artwork doesn't match up correctly on my Ipod and computer. Say if I choose a song, it will give me the correct song, but a different artist's artwork. It's not every song but a lot of them are incorrect.
Also, today, my sleep/wake button stopped working. It won't let me put it to sleep or turn it off. I can only make it come up by pressing the home button. At random times it will ask me if i want to turn it off. Actually, I just tried it and the screen started flashing. So, to me, it's like it wants to work, it's just struggling. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

i am not sure how to fix the sleep/wake button
the same thing is happening with mine
i believe it is some kind of technical failure
i restored my itouch hoping that it would work, it didnt
to put it to sleep i put the autolock on one minute so it staying on would not be a problem
also when i tried to put it to sleep it didnt
10 seconds after i pressed it the ipod began taking screen shots
any advice would be greatly appreciated

If not caused by accidental damage, the iPod Touch includes a one year warranty. If your iPod Touch remains under warranty, you can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. If the iPod Touch remains under warranty you open the iPod Touch youself or by a 3rd party, doing so will void the warranty. If you live near an Apple Store, make an appointment to see if the store can get the button unstuck. If not under warranty, there won't be any charge for this.

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

How many times do you have to click the sleep/wake button to get the light brighter? (on iPod touch)

My iPod touch's sleep wake button isn't working. How do i fix it?

One day, my iPod touch's sleep wake button stopped working. Now i cannot lock it or turn it off or on. I already tried every step in the troubleshooting and the problem was not resolved. I did take it with me to work out that day. Could it have water damage from my sweat? The main problem is, I am flying on a plane and cannot take it with me unless it is turned off. What should I do?

Take a flashlight and look in the earphone jack. If you can see a full or half pink or red circle, then the submersion indicator has been triggered. You're not covered by your warranty if this is the case.
I'd recommend sending it to Apple.
In the meantime, run your iPod flat so it is off on the plane. Take your charger with you, and when you're off the plane, charge it again. In the meantime, set it to 1 minute autolock, and use the home button to unlock it instead.

My iPod touch sleep/wake button is jammed.

Does anyone know any way to get my sleep/wake button fixed for cheap? I don't even inderstand why it's jammed. I have been gental with it, such. I'm really expecting any good support as Apple is horrible with that. (From past expierences) But I just decided to post so I could find out what has work best for anyone who expierenced the same problems. Also, my friend's iPod isn't charging. Yesterday it worked completely fine, and then today at school it suddenly stopped working. We switched iPods for the day and I tried to fix his iPod but nothing will work. I have tried forced recovery and DFU mode. I think it may be a bad battery or maybe the charger port is broken, but how do I tell?

For the Power switch Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
For your freind's iPod
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also:
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black after a while. How can I solve this ?

My 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off (=stops the music) when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black for power saving mode. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
I have already tried resetting, connecting to PC/iTunes to check the software version, turning off/on, I don't have any inspiration anymore.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi VeerleD,
If your iPod touch unexpectedly powers off, you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting (The steps apply for the iPod touch) -
Specifically -
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My daughter tried to open a game on her Ipod touch and the screen went white and I can't get it to do ANYTHING...I've tried holding the sleep/wake button and it does NOTHING, still only a white screen.

My daughter tried to play the My Horse game on her Ipod touch that she got for Christmas and when she opened the game it said something about sending "push notifications" and gave the choice of "don't allow" or "ok"...we chose "don't allow". After that the screen went white and now we cannot get the Ipod touch to respond to anything. I tried holding the sleep/wake button to try to restart it and it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions to get this device working again???

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 that doesn't work, try a Restore:
From iTunes, select the iPad 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.
There's more that you can do. Post back if none of the above solves the problem.
By the way, I always allow "push." That allows the app developer to "push" information to your device rather than waiting for you to ask for it. However, "don't allow" shouldn't cause the problem that you're experiencing.

My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

- Try a 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
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
