IPod Touch Sleep/Power Button Not Working! Help!

I have the new iPod Touch 32 GB and I got it in September. Since yesterday it started lagging with the button: When I push the sleep button to put it to sleep it waits 5-10 seconds and asks me to move the slider to shut down. Its like the button is stuck inside or something. Does anybody else have this problem? What should I do?

I have a 3g iPhone 32gb and this is happening with me as well. Actually, the darned thing freezes all the time (see my reply in the "Unresponsive" discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10981942#10981942).

    Hi Deuce,
    Do you have a protective case or film on the iPod? If you do try removing it and testing again.
    You can restore the iPod to rule out software issues. This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 will walk you through restoring the iPod.
    If the issue persists without the case and after restoring, the iPod may need hardware repair, you can get it repaired by making a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it, calling AppleCare, or requesting repair online.

  • IPod Touch 2G Home button not working after OS4 upgrade

    Hi there,
    hope someone can help. Upgraded an iPod Touch 2G to OS4.1 and teh home button will not work now normally, but will work if its attached to a PC and iTunes. Anyone seen this before and how to fix it?
    Cheers,
    Martin

    HI there,
    thanks for the reply. Tried both of what you suggested, also tried the home button thing only working while plugged in with two computers and two different leads which is why I suspect is an operating system thing.
    I may try downgrading the operating system next, just have to find a copy of an old one somewhere.
    Cheers,

  • IPod touch 4 home button not working properly

    I got my ipod in november 2010 and it worked fine up untill august where the home button just suddenly became undresponsive. I did not abuse my iPod i am very careful i have a case and no screen cracks/dents etc.. Now it works about 30% of the time and it is really annoying I had to turn on this awful feature where i geta virtual home button which is in the way of everything and i cant even arrange it properly. I am very dissapointed with apples express lane which provided absolutely no help and in their hardware. I have several freinds who got the same type of ipod at around the same time and they are having the same problems. Was it designed to do this? I am now wondering how much I am going to be charged for this. May I get it for free even though my warrenty expired very recently? thanks for the help

  • Sleep power button not working

    In KDE system settings I have it configured to put the computer to sleep when the power button is pressed. This used to work perfectly but now it has stopped working. Instead it ignores my preference and shuts down instead.

    There is also the fact that functionality is removed. So I did pay attention, read the new man page and still had a question because I wondered if that functionality might be been moved elsewhere rather than removed. It is hard to be certain you've proved a negative and systemd has a lot of different man pages and puts things in a lot of different places.
    Of course, it may well be that people also don't pay attention...

    he menu button of the ipod touch (4th generation) is not working and the service center of ipod is asking us to pay for the fixation of the said item even though it's still on warranty. this is the case number 215866894. And the service center said that they don't cover that center part of the ipod so they're asking us money before they can fix it. We bought the ipod last december 8, 2010 and we brought it to the service center last april, 2011 here in the philippines. And until now they're not fixing it because they're asking us to pay half the price of the item which is 8,040 pesos..

    As advised, you need to call Apple about this.

    No one here works for Apple (no one who will reply, anyway) so there's nothing anyone here can do to help you with this issue.
    Good luck.

    If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it.  How do I get to listen on headphones with my IPod touch?

    You likely have a problem with the headphone jack.  You jhave to ways to listen to music via headphones:
    - Get the jack fixed.  Here is one place:
    DigiExpress.us - The iPad Repair Professionals
    However first I wold rule out a software problem by try the following:
    Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
    The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod.
