Menu button stopped working on my Ipod mini

Heading basically says it all, I am stuck in the same playlist unless i reset the ipod. All other factors of the clickwheel still work. I can hear the menu button clicking down just the ipod won't respond to the pressing of it.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, and so do dozens of others from what I can determine on the 'net.
Menu button is still working as the reset function works fine (reset does not work unless both MENU & SELECT are pressed together).
Have tried loading latest software, and then reverting to original software - problem is still the same.
Anyone solved this problem, or have any ideas?
Thanks

Clickwheel/Menu buttons stopped working + ASP/Warranty question

Today, my year old 2nd gen nano's clickwheel and menu button stopped working. The hold button works, Itunes sees the thing, disconnecting the headphones does what it supposed to do and everything appears to be in order, except for the buttons. Neither resetting, nor restoring the software did resolve the issue and I am left with a small, elegant, brushed aluminium finished brick with music in it.
Luckily, an Apple ASP isn't particulary far from where I live and I could and probably should bring it there. However, I am currently in a country that is not the one I bought the Ipod in and my purchase receipt and anything else that might have came with it is some 3000 km away.
Does anyone know if bringing just the player to an ASP (it does have a serial number) has any remote chance of getting a warranty repair? And, if not, is it worth it even bothering with the repair, in terms of cost?

Left ear piece stopped working w/my iPod mini

Just like the subject line says, the left ear piece stopped working with my iPod mini after using a regular pair of black headphones for a couple weeks. Gee, this must mean your headphones were garbage? Well I purchased a pair of $5 ear phones that didn't work well at all with my iPod. Gee, I keep buying cheap ear phones. How about purchasing the authentic Apple ear buds? Well that's exactly what I did 3 weeks ago. After purchasing the ear buds for $30 that were made by Apple with the assumption it must work just fine, I tested them and found out they didn't work, however I plugged them into other devices and it worked just fine. I exchanged the pair and same problem.
So yeah, something is effed up with my iPod where it won't play any audio in the left ear bud, however when I plug my ear phones or headphones into the slot on the iPod about half way in then I can hear the music just fine on both sides.
What do I do? Am I stuck with Apple's problem with their product for good? Can they do something about this problem? Is there any steps I can follow to open the 'pod and fix it myself?

This has helped people hearing warbled sound through their earbuds. Maybe it could help you, too?
"Hello everybody,
I have found a solution for my problem, I hope it can help you guys too. I found this following link to get my ipod open:
http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/30180
When I opened it I discovered that the connection to the little print (?) where you plug in your headphones was loose (it is a piece with both the headphone plug and the hold function). So I simply reconnected it, and voila, my ipod was fixed! Good luck!"
"I had the same problem and fixed it by following the procedures to opening the mini to replace the battery. Then you will see the CB that the headphones plugs into. This CB (circuit board) plugs into the main ( mother board )
Mine had worked it's way partly out. I pushed this plug back on securely and the headphones now work. Hope this helps. You can find the instructions for changing the battery by googling changing the battery on a mini IPOD."

So i just got my ipod august 2012. about 1 month ago, my home button stopped working and my ipod is getting slower and slower. would apple be able to fix it for free?

Ipods automatically have a one year warrany unless you have violated the terms. But you can pay to extend the warranty. It depends, they may fix it for free or they may charge a bit. Im not entirely sure. But id say theres a good chance that they may fix it for free. With battery replacements, ive heard that they give you an entirely new ipod with a charge of $80. So i think it depends

My home button stopped working and now iPad mini will not turn.

My home button stopped working a few weeks ago, and now my iPad mini will not turn on. I can't restart the iPad, and it will not pop up in iTunes. What can I do?

Make an appointment with the nearest apple store and they will be able to replace it or give you directions otherwise. Hope this helps

Menu button stopped working

So I've been having troubles with my menu button. Sometimes the button works but most of the time it doesn't. All the other buttons work fine. I've tried just about everything. I even tried to restore it but that didn't work. I'm planning on going to the Apple store to have them check it out. Is there any way for me to exchange it for a different ipod though or am I stuck with the nano?

Apple will only replace with another nano...
However with the 5G the click wheel has definately shrunk... All that I can say is try hitting it a little different.
Otherwise it could just be a small fault and a new device may not have this.
Good luck with your trip to the apple store... Hope you find results...
As I've had my 5G since it was released and I have had no issues to date.

Menu button doesnt work

All of a sudden the menu button stopped working. It was fine one day then I put the ipod on charge, several days later when I tried to use it again the Menu button no longer works...
Actually I just realized that the Play/Pause button doesnt work correctly either. When you push and hold it it does not turn the device off anymore although it would still pause/play the songs. The forward/reverse work ok.
I tried resetting the Ipod using the updater and that didnt help. I also tried Menu + Select ... strangely enough it resets the device but after it resets the Menu key doesnt work.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
I submitted a service request. Is there any way of modifying the service request since I just realized that the play/pause button is screwed up also?
Finally, when you turn the hold on/off is that supposed to turn the backlight on/off as well? I never paid attention to it but now when I turn hold on that also turns the backlight on...is that screwed up as well?

I am having a similar problem with my mini - it turns on fine and will scroll through the menus, but will not respond by going back through the menus. Instead, it freezes on a screen and does not respond to anything except resetting it (menu & select button). Doesn't seem like the proper way to navigate through the screens and is completely frustrating. I was ready to cry yesterday at the gym because it wouldn't work and didn't know the reset "trick" until 3 hours later! I have also had many problems turning it off too. My brother who owns a regular iPod thinks I am crazy but at least I am seeing people out there with similar problems.
On another note, I have to say I am completely disappointed with Apple. The company loves to portray this user-friendly persona, but in truth it is not that way at all. I received my mini in May and have just started to use it full force this month (October) ... now my 30-day phone support has expired and if I want "live" help I have to pay $50 for extended service. That's bull - I'd like some real answers but have been relegated to chat boards (no offense) and trying to troubleshoot the problem myself by finding close but not exact postings. It seems like such a deceptive bait & switch ploy by Apple. I am tempted to send my mini back for service but just read on the web site that I could be charged up to $100 for service. Again, sounds very sneaky so not sure if I should take the risk or live with a highly annoying product defect. Any suggestions?

Menu button not working

I've got a 6gb mini, had it since Sept 05. Yesterday the menu button stopped working, so I can't choose what music it plays, it only plays on shuffle as I can't get back up. I haven't done anything to it so I wondered what to do. I got my iPod in the US but I live in the UK. I bought the Applecare Protection Plan when I got it but forgot to enroll it, so I don't know if it's still valid. It should still be covered under the protection but I don't know if I've left it too late to register it. What do I do?

If doing a Restore and reset do not help, very likely a hardware issue
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk

It's still covered by Apple's 1 year warranty. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

How common is it that the on/off button stops working? Time to throw away the ipod touch? Safe to fly? No more "print screen"?

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Volume and Lock buttons stopped working after new iOS 4.3.3 update (ipod 4th gen)

After I updated my ipod with the iOS 4.3, the volume and lock buttons stopped working.
This has happened before and it'sprobably one of the most annoying problems ever.
The lock button tends to stop working but then works again only when it wants to, but the volume buttons dont work at all.
When the locked button worked again I turned it off and turned it on again, but it didnt fix the problem.
I've pretty much tried everything that I've read and nothing seems to work.
So now, I don't know what to do.
Should I take it to a random apple store or to where I bought it from?
It seems that it's happening to almost everyone, so at least I'm not the only one and maybe someone can help me out

If you have restored in iTunes on a computer and the problem remains then it's a hardware fault and it needs to be repaired. When you update the iOS version on an iOS device it checks the hardware components, this is when it'll detect un-diagnosed hardware faults and the components will stop working... even if they were working previously

Very likely it is a hardware issue (exactly same as mine). I am afraid to say that you need to send it for repairing. You will get a replacement if your iPod mini still under the warranty

Bluetooth stopped working on my ipad mini after ios7 update

Bluetooth stopped working on my ipad mini and my iphone 5 after I updated to ios 7. My Ipad 4 which is not updated can't see them either. Samsung devices can see them but not connect and they can't see each other. Help

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

S110 menu button not working

Hi,
We're on our honeymoon and been taking good pictures without any problems with Canon S110 until yesterday. The camera suddenly has the following problems:
1. turn on normally but then immediately taking one photo no matter what mode it's on.
2. once the single photo was taken, the camera completely freeze except the display button working and the delete button (working but not be able to select delete)
3. shutter button and zoom in or out is completely useless
3. MENU button is NOT working at all
We have been trying the following:
- new fully charged batterry
- new SD card
- turn off and remove both battery and SD card overnight
It's very frustrated and we only have this camera on this trip. Please help!!!

Just registered to report my solution.
I have a similar problem with the PowerShot S110 of my wife's sister.
At some time a menu button and all joystick buttons stop working.
The problem was because of sticking zoom control (yeah it's very stupid).
At the normal state zoom control must return to central position!
When zoom control is on the left or right position - some buttons don't work.
I hope this info will be usefull to someone.
