Ipod touch menu button

so my menu button on my ipod has been sticking and now it just stays in and now it wont work so everytime i use my ipod i have to turn it off to exit what ever app im in

you might need to explain more.
when you say turning it off and on, i assume you mean holding the off switch and sliding function.
if you just put the ipod into sleep mode (just pushing the off switch) it doesn't take much more battery, and the response of the ipod is much quicker (as it doesn't need to load the OS up).
putting it to sleep while you are playing music/podcasts, will also allow you to carry on listening to music but will darken the screen so takes up less battery.
when you say 'i cannot listen to music unless on the music menu' what do you mean? double pressing the 'home' button (the one on the front of the ipod) will bring up the music menu while you are using any other app, and will allow you to control the volume and the track that you are listening to.

  • IPod touch home button jammed?!

    Hello, this morning I came to my ipod touch, only to find that the home button was jammed!! By jammed, i mean it is stuck a little too far into the home button socket, and takes an enormous amount of pressure for the iPod to register that it has been pushed. I am currently out of warranty, so should I try to find a "do-it-yourself-guide?" or should I take it in to Apple Store or Best Buy? Thanks so much and ill be looking foward to what you have to say!

  • Ipod touch home button stuck and the power will not turn on

    Can someone help me?  My daughter's ipod touch 4th generation has a stuck home button.  We have changed the settings so that the alternate home button is on the screen; however, while she was using it earlier, the ipod shut off and will not turn back on.  We have tried to plug it in, hold the power button, etc.  Since the home button doesn't work, we can't hold the power and home buttons simultaneously as recommended.  Any other ideas?
