  • My lock button no longer works on my ipod touch and now i have all kinds of problems with it freezing and kicking me out of apps. Is there any way to get this fixed and were would i go to get it fixed?

    Please Help!!!! I have an ipod touch 4th gen.  and since the last update the lock button no longer works, this has caused it to have a lot of problems now like freezing all the time, kicking me out of almost all my apps, some times even when if locks on its own its not locked and buttons with be pushed in my pocket, and this causes the battiery to die fast.   I really love my ipod and would like to just get it fix if possible for a reasonable about of money. Anyone know of a place I can get it fixed in Ft Lauderdale Fl area or is there something I can do?

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • After I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my lock button is not working properly

    After I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my lock button is not working properly I push the button many times and after many failed attempts it locks and sometimes not. I had to use the accesibility tool to lock it manually from the screen, this is really annoying.

    I guess it is.
    Do you have a question, or are you just sharing your experience with us?

  • Will Apple replace my iPhone 5 for free if the lock button is not working properly?

    My iPhone 5 was bought in March 2013 and broke in January 2014 so I still have a few months left on my one year warranty.
    My lock button did not get stuck or jammed, but all of a sudden it just would not work.  I don't notice anything different about it and it still makes a "click" noise when I press it but, it wont do anything or respond to anything.  Clearly something is wrong with it and I am not sure why.
    I have my assessive touch ON but I would rather use my lock button.
    If I bring it into Apple will they replace it for FREE if my one year warranty isn't over and my lock button just will not respond to me pressing it?
    THANK YOU. PLEASE HELP.

    If Apple determines that it is eligible for coverage under the warranty then they will either replace it or fix it.
    In my experience,, if it is truly just a faulty button, then they will fix it but the tech will make that determination after inspection.

  • Endless rebooting, lock button no longer works, restart comes up unwanted

    Hello all! I tried to search online but I was not able to find an answer. My iPhone 3G 3.1.2 (recently updated but had similar problems with 3.0) is practically in unusable condition. It will no longer let me lock the phone, at times, it wants to restart on it's on non-stop and it will go to an endless rebooting cycle on its own. The only time I can stop the endless rebooting cycle is when I plug the iPhone to my computer or stereo integrated car jack. It appears that my phone works ok when it's plugged in but obviously this is an inconvenience. Is this a software issue or has something shorted on the inside? It seems to be getting worse and worse. I hope we can help each other by starting this discussion. Thank you all in advance!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    first thing to try would be a reset, hold the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up.
    If this does not solve your problem, restore "as new iphone" and don't use your backup to get your settings back, your backup may contain corrupt files causing this behavior.

  • Iphone 5 lock button no longer works

    The power button/ lock screen button on the top of my phone stopped working.  Is there a way for me to power on and off my phone? Also will Apple replace or fix this on my phone?

    Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar...some of the US (at least) stores are now able to do in-store repairs so you get to keep your iPhone.

  • Rotation lock button no longer works for iBooks

    I just uploaded the new iOS4 to my iPad and then tried to read a book on iBooks while lying on my side. Apparently, the old rotation lock switch on the upper right side is now a mute switch. Have I lost the ability to prevent rotation of the screen?

    I'm having the same problem and tried double clicking on the home key twice. There are no button on the left of the screen.

  • I have an iphone 4 and my lock button isn't working properly.

    it's really hard to push down to lock my phone and I can't take the back of my phone off because one of the screws is stripped on the bottom. any suggestions?

    Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced.

  • Interactive PDF: Rollover button state no longer working properly  ???

    Okay, what's going on with the Interactive PDFs lately?
    Now all my rollover buttons no longer work properly.  If I have a button that's simply a black arrow, and in the rollover state it's red.
    No matter if I'm checking it out in the latest Acrobat Reader or Pro X, the rollover only works for a brief second..then reverts back to black - the original state.
    This, combined with my latest problem with the show/hide button state, is really becoming a frustrating hassle:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3933451#3933451
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I'm running 7.5.1.
    Is this an Acrobat issue?  The button function here seems to work in the InDesign preview mode.

    Hhmmm...I'm actually having this problem even with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. Does this make sense?
    Again, I'm creating the document in InDesign CS5 and then building the PDF with  Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, and the rollover effects don't work in Adobe Acrobat 9, Adobe Reader 9, and Adobe Reader 10.
    I'm a bit new to this process of software not providing its basic touted functionality. Is this the kind of thing where support for this functionality will vary from product to product? I had the same issue with PDF Portfolio -- where all its functioanlity was not supported in Adobe Reader X. If so, perhaps I should simply stick with the classic features of PDFs. Or can I trust, reliability, that going forward, this rollover effect will be supported in all Adobe Reader versions? This is quite an important issue for me as I provide all the documentation for my employer, including customer facing documentation -- and I simply don't know. Any recommendations?

  • My iPhone 4 is stuck in the update screen and my lock button is not working. How can I fix this?

    I just tried to update my iPhone 4 to 7.1 and for some strange reason the phone wouldn't update then wanted me  to restore it... (Figures!) But my lock button no longer works so holding the home button and the lock button is a option I have to rule out. I have no way to repair my phone myself. What can I do?

    Hello Edward
    Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

  • I just took my I-Pod touch to a computer repair shop to replace cracked screen and now am told main part of I-Pod needs to be replaced.volume button no longer works, headphone and locking device also no longer working. Even though it all worked when given

    I just took my I-Pod touch to a computer repair shop to replace a cracked screen. Told it need the main part to it. They said the volume button, headphone and locking part no longer worked. Told me to pick it up. When I gave it to them all components were working. Said because they weren't able to fix it there was no charge. Don't understand this.

    Probably when you dropped, kicked, smashed, threw, or whatever you did to break your screen it also damaged the logic board and the connections to the volume button, headphone jack and sleep button. Happens all the time. Apparently the shop you selected to work on it is not very good so take them off your shopping list.
    Then go buy a 5th Generation iPod Touch.

  • Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

    Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • Music buttons on the lock screen no longer work with ios7.

    on my 4S, when ios 7 was loaded, bluetooth music play buttons and the music buttons on the lock screen no longer work.  Hence, I can neither use the music buttons at the lock screen nor can I use the control on my car (bluetooth...) to change songs.  Volume adjust at the lock screen appears to work.  Can't pause/play or move to the next/prior music.

    I did see a reply on a similar post:
    You can try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However, some onther users have reported the same problem so it it may be a bug in iOS
    I did the RESET DEVICE only to mine (i.e., did not reset all settings...) and it did work to fix the buttons (haven't tested on the car, but it'll likely be OK now...).  Certainly there is a bug somewhere that needs fixed...

  • When using Firefox as my browser, my "back" button no longer works? And by the way...getting help is a real pain in the butt on this site!!!!!

    When using Firefox as my browser, my "back" button no longer works? And by the way...getting help is a real pain in the butt on this site!!!!!

    see -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
    which explains how to completely exit (quit) your Mozilla application
    Try closing Firefox completely
    *Close Firefox properly '''File > Exit''', not with the "X" which just closes the window.
    *Use the Windows Task Manager "Processes" tab to make sure that firefox.exe is not running and also that the plugin-container.exe is not running.
    If that does not work, try restarting the system.
    If still no luck try restoring bookmarks from last backup, or better create your own .json backup and restore from that.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox#Creating_bookmark_backups
    *''If you had to go this far, please provide feedback if restoring bookmarks alone fixed the problem. I think I may have done that once with success, but never see that suggested -- I'd try most anything to not lose history or bookmarks. But then I could restore files from my profile and restore latest bookmarks backup from current profile.''
    The following will result in complete loss of history if it comes down to deleting places.sqlite, so rename files rather than deleting. With Firefox down.
    Of course you have backups of your profile you could replace rename and
    replace those files instead.

    Sometimes thisworks:

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However,sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you have to wait for either an iOS update or and update to the iHome firmware. Go to iHome's support site
