  • My volume buttons won't work on my iPod touch 4th gen.

    Whenever i try to turn it up, it won't work. So i go to the music and turn it up that way, but it slides down and is silent. it will stay for a couple seconds but not for a long time. everything else works, even though the volume pop up that comes on when you fix the volume in an app or on the menu. it goes away when i play music, but it comes back when i hit the home button to go to the menu. i've had it in rice for awhile since it might be water damage, but i don't know what i could do to make it back to the orginal state. please help me?!

  • My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

    My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

    The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
    * Enable AssistiveTouch
    Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
    Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
    *Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device *if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning*. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

  • The home button has stopped working on my iphone 5c. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode.

    Have an iphone 5c 8g. The home button has stopped working. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode and no evidence of damage.

    If you are playing in hockey arenas a lot or if you are bringing it into bathroom same time as shower it may not seem like much but overtime the steam can acquire and build up in the phones usb dock flex cable swell as the home button flex cable. Bring again into apple store and should be covered under warranty again. could also be a delay in a 8gb 5c software may just be very lag.

    Do other earphones work on the iPod?
    If not then
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - 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.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

  • My iphone home button has stopped working

    My iphone's home button has been acting up and sometimes it didnt work but now my home button just doesnt work at all. Also last night I used the Keep it clean wipes to clean out the home button and now it just wont work but when I try to re calibrate the home button like when I go to photos or stocks and I hold down the power button until it say '' slide to power off '' then I press and hold the home button and it still force quits back to the home screen when I do that but when I press the home button to go back to the home screen or to use the multitasking or when the voice control it doesnt work anymore I dont know what to do. Ive got an appointment tomorrow at the genius bar and my 1 year warranty just expired a few weeks ago (25 june)
    Also I dont want to get the phone replaced as everything on the phone works except for the home button now
    Also If I take in the phone will they just fix the home button or replace the extire home button ? and if so how much will it cost ?
    Also  and after  I used the wipes the home button did still work  but it just stopped working today when I was in the car and I wiped the phone with my shirt to clean the dust and it just completely stopped working
    Any help appreciated  as Im feeling extremely sad now because I love this phone and its useless now without the home button
    Thanks

  • My iPhones home button has stopped working.

    My home button for my iphone 4 has stopped working, i didnt break it but i have been inside the phone, though I havent changed anything.
    Will Apple repair my iphone for free, or give me a new one for free?

    If you've opened your phone, your warranty is void.  Apple won't touch your phone.  Only option now is to find a 3rd party repair shop.

  • "iTunes Has Stopped Working" when syncing iPod Touch

    So in the last few days, I've been getting an error message when I try to sync my iPod Touch 2g with software version 3.1.2. After a few seconds, I get this error message "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." It only happens when I plug in my iPod for syncing.
    I've been up and down the message boards here looking for a solution and I can't seem to find anything that works. I've uninstalled/reinstalled quicktime, then the iTunes software, I've deleted and remade my iTunes library file... I'm just at a loss. Here's the error information windows gathered up...
