Is it possible to fix an iPod nano 6g with a stuck sleep/wake button?

A few weeks agothe sleep/wake button got stuck so I have to plug my 6g iPod nano in whenever I want to play or stop music or perform any function.

Take it in to an Apple store for diagnosis.

    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.

  • IPod touch problems grey pixels and stuck sleep/wake button

    I got my iPod touch 2g in January of this year and I noticed that my sleep wake button was inside the iPod not sticking out like it is suppose to and I also saw that I have about 15 rows of greyed out pixels. I'm wondering if my warranty can fix both of these problems for free or do I need to pay money. I have tried the stuck pixel fix but nothing happened.

    Did you try to restore in iTunes?

  • 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

  • HT1212 Restoring Ipod touch with broken/unusable sleep/wake button

    got a broken sleep/wake button and my kidz put a wrong passcodes on it many times, now it is locked, is there any way I can restore this back even if I don't have it backed up with my computer? I'm just using screen home button that is why I can't restore it using the ordinary way.

    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and restore via iTunes:

  • Is it possible to dock an ipod nano 7?

    Is it possible to dock an ipod nano 7?

    It was disturbing to find out the new and expensive nano was incompatable with all older ipod connectors, and also that there was no direct solution -- no apple dock that has a lightning connector.
    I bought a docking station ($60+) and a 30 to lightning converter ($30+), both from Apple.  It all looks fine and pretty, and the ipod7 nano charges, but it doesn't play.  There is a loud humming sound -- as if no connection from these standard apple parts. Obviously, the Apple 30 to lightning converter doesn't really work.
    The design of the nano-7 is also awkward -- although one would like to plug in the audio cable to the nano, because the lightning connector and the audio jack are on the same side, but there is not enough room between the dock and the device to plug in the cable.  I suppose I can spend another $30 on some version of a cable that has a right-hand connection.
    A final problem is that when the nano-7 volume is turned up, it disorts when played through an ordinary stereo.  Must be overloading the output or input.
    All in all, engineering of the nano-7 could be more ergonomic and also better thought through. Not what one would expect from a very expensive device, in the 7th version, from Apple.  Perhaps got pushed out before it was really done.

  • My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off.  How do I fix this?

    Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
    Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
    Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
    Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
    If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

  • TS1412 any ideas about how to fix an iPod Nano with a white screen??

    any ideas about how to fix an iPod Nano with a white screen??

    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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello all,
    I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
    What I have tried so far to no avail:
    Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
    Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    Changed the watch face to display.
    Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
    Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
    Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
    Regards,

    Hey,
    I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
    Have you found any solution?
    Bah, this is annoying.

  • I purchased an used iPod nano 4th with many many songs on it,but when i hooked the usb cable to try and change the name,something went wrong.i had to reset it,thinking my music would still be there,but i lost everything! Is there any way to get these back

    I purchased an used iPod Nano 4th.with many,many,many songs and albums on it,but when i plugged the usb cable into my laptop(i am a new comer to computer) i thought i was changing the name and thought i was syncing but something went wrong and everything was gone! is there any way possible to get these back? Please I need Help!!! Thank you!

    Was the music purchased via your iTunes account and/or did you buy it from other sources or copy it from your own CDs, or did the music belong to the previous owner ? If the music was yours then you can sync it back to the iPod via your computer's iTunes. If the music is not still on your computer then have you got a backup of it ? If not then for iTunes purchases you might be able to re-download it depending on which country you are in. If the music was put on the iPod by the previous owner then you will need to buy your own copies of it.

  • Sleep/wake button of ipod nano 6g STUCK!!

    I've had an ipod nano 6g for more than a year, and it worked perfectly untill a cupple of days ago when the sleep/wake button got stuck!! i've been reading about this and apparently it has happened to a lot of people, but they have been lucky to have the problem while warranty is still efective. My problem is that my warranty allready expired, so apple will not change it, and i don´t know if the'll even fix it.
    Can anyone help me with this, does anyone have the same problem?

    Same problem. Many, many people are having this problem. And at the moment, if the warranty has expired, you have to pay to have it fixed. A man at the Ginza Apple Store explained it to me today. Hopefully they'll recall it or allow some sort of exchange program, because this is a major problem with this device.

    I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
    Nothing seems to have helped the situation.

    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?
