Is the Ipod Touch power button also a volume control?

Ever since I got my iPod Touch, whenever I press the power button, the volume goes up one level. I never thought anything of it until I started wanting to take screen shots and the volume control icon ends up in the picture, which is REALLY annoying and no one else seems to know why.  I read around under apple support and in discussions, and no one else seems to have this problem. Is this normal? And how can I fix it? 
I added a screen shot that I took on my iPod Touch so you know what I mean by volume control icon.

No it is not

    Apple will most likely exchange it. The one you receive will be refurbished.

  • IPod Touch Power Button Issue?

    I have an 8GB 1st Generation iPod Touch (The one without the camera, power button on the left side instead of the right, yada yada yada). I've had it since Christmas, and it's run perfectly well, until yesterday. I began to notice that the power button (the small button at the top) was sticky. Not stuck, but simply sticky. Instead of having to tap it and add a slight pressure to get it to turn on, turn off, lock, ect, I now have to push down so hard that it leaves imprints on my fingers, not to mention that it doesn't always respond, as if it's jammed, and if I'm not very persistent it will lock, but not turn off. I have to try three or four times to turn it off using the power button, though occasionally the screen will flicker like I'm hitting the button multiple times. It's not like the button is stuck - I can still use it, but it's sticky. I was wondering if there is any solution that doesn't require sending my iPod in?
    If you need any further explanation feel free to let me know, I'll be willing to tell you. Sending my iPod in isn't a problem really, though if there's a simple fix that I'm not aware of (seeing as this is my first iPod) I'd be much more willing to keep it here.

    Hi,
    I have an 32G 2nd generation iPod touch with a problematic on/off button, and I'm not sure this is a physical problem at all.
    My touch worked perfectly well until the version 3.0 update, and then I started having problems with the on/off "wake/sleep" button.
    I often have to take 3 or 4 attempts to turn the screen off, and then when it does turn off it comes back on again with the "red bar" to switch it off. This is only supposed to happen when you purposely hold down the on/off button, but it does it when it feels like it now!
    Like I said, it worked perfectly well on the version 2.0 software, but you couldn't possibly get into DFU mode to return it to version 2 because holding onto the button no longer seems to get the "red" bar to come up, so I've no idea where I am with it! It drives me nuts, but I'm almost positive it's an issue with the software.
    Yes, I've tried a restore on several occasions, and turning it off and on so many times I can't count, but the problem never goes away!
    I've asked Apple several times to deal with the issue, but they've had at least 6 attempts now, and nothing has been done about it. My Touch will now be stuck on 4.1 forever as I can't get iTunes 10, because I have an old mac that's on 10.4.11.
    I'll have to live with it as it is, as I can't afford to upgrade, and I don't want to anyway because it works perfectly well, EXCEPT for this one annoying issue.

  • My iPod Touch Power Button is Acting Up?

    My ipod touch is a new 4g, and when I turn it on it turns off really fast, and then I press it again and it comes on.  It is really annoying when I press it and it just turns off, so I have to press it again to turn it on.  Is there anyway to fix that?  Also I bought my ipod from wallmart about 4 months ago and am wondering if it is under warrenty with apple.  Like if I break a button or something will apple fix it or is there nothing I can do?

    Try the following to rule out a saftware problem:
    - Reset. N0thing will be lost
    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 from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    Ifyo still have a problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective, Apple will replace your iPod under warranty.  You can check your warranty by entering your SN here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage

  • IPod Touch power button stuck

    So I woke up one morning and my iPod's power on/off button was stuck in. I couldn't turn the device on or off, and I had to use the home button.
    Eventually, I found out about the Accessive Touch thing but it's annoying having to do all of that when I can just click the button off. Plus I always touch it by accident.
    Is there anyway I can replace the button or get it to pop out again?

    It is a fourth generation. The warranty had not run out yet

    If the iPod has not been abused, then if defective Apple will exchange yur iPod for a refurbished one at no cost.

  • 1st gen iPod touch has lost it's volume control

    After last update my iPod has lost it's volume control. I've tried everything I can think of - including doing a complete wipe and reinstall.
    I've tested with several different headphones, incl Apples own, a pair of Skullcandy and a pair of Sennheiser.
    No matter what I plug in the volume is extremely low, and I have no way of turning it up.
    I've tried starting a playlist and then leave the music in the background. Then normally double-tapping the home button brings up music controls. That does happen, but there are no volume controls. Also there is no "Dock Connector" label in the control box.
    What can I do?

    I'm suffering from the same frustrating problem. One thing that worked for me for a week was to go into settings->General and change the sound effects to just come out of headphones. Until recently it's been an intermittent issue, but now appears to be solid. Like you, I've tried with a variety of headphones and nothing happens apart from getting really quiet music playing (barely audible). It's almost as if the volume limit is being set really low.

    Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.

  • Can somebody confirm this for me: The iPod Touch's home button is smaller

    than the iPhone's home button.
    I don't know if it's just my imagination or what. But I swear it is. I also notice it's much more "clicky" whereas the iPhone's is more "soft" when you push it.

    I'm sure that the "clicky" or "soft" varies from unit to unit.
    Why is this important to you?
    We have bought an iPod Touch 3rd Gen and an iPhone 3GS.
    The iPod has a much louder "clickier" button. Very annoying compared to the "soft" iPhone button.
    Does anybody else has this issue with iPod Touch?
    My iPod button clicks. I like it; that way I know I've clicked it. It's not annoyingly loud but it does click.
