My Ipod lock button is broke, how to fix?
I have had my ipod touch (3rd generation, 62gb) for almost two years. It has been working fine up until a couple of months ago when i fell asleep with it lying on my bed and when i woke up there was this mysterious crusty stuff all over it. It now only works if i keep pressing and pressing from different angles until it randomly clicks off. But sometimes it'll work perfectly as if it was never broke. So how can i fix this??? Thanks
Disabled from not remembering the passcode lock and entering the incorrect passcode too many times?

if my home or lock button is broke, will apple fix it for free even if there are other things wrong with it?
If it is still under warranty, Apple reserves the right to either repair or replace with comparable item...take it to an Apple genius bar, have them examine it and see what they decide to do.

Sleep/lock button has broke, will Apple fix this?
So my lock/power/sleep button has decided to break. I cannot get it to work no matter how hard I press on the button.
It has NOT been dropped, exposed to water or humdity of any kind.
My question is, will Apple fix this for me or replace my iPhone 4? I have scheduled an appointment at the closest store for Monday as it was the earliest I could be seen and I am still under warranty.
Many thanks for any potential help.Thank you for your help, it is definitely under warranty as I used the online checker and I only bought it January.
I will ensure that I back it up before I go, would it be wiser to delete my content off the phone as well? -

how to fix my ipod touch, because everytime i use or i play games sometimes it will turn off/closed/lock....how to fixed that problem
Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
My IPod lock button barely works and when I try to lock my IPod it won't work I still have insurance but can I take it to Best Buy and get another one? or will it take my insurance off?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello KellyB12,
The color of your iPod should still be the same. As I said previously, your Geek Squad Black Tie Protection will continue as long as the problem with the lock button is due to defect. If it has been damaged, your service plan may be fulfilled. Geek Squad will be able to address these questions for you too when you visit.

My iPod touch has been disabled, how to fix it
my iPod Touch has been disabled, how to fix it? I opened iTunes, can't find "Restore" as suggested by Apple. Please help. Thanks.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My daughters friend changed her password on her ipod touch and can't remember the password and when she guesses and gets it wrong, it disables her ipod. Does anyone know how to fix this problem??
You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

I have an ipod touch that i would like to restore to factory settings. Having said that the ipod is locked for over 1,000 minutes and i do not know the password. I know the trick of holding down the lock button and home button at the same time until the "Connect to iTunes" message pops up, but the lock button on my ipod does not work. Is there anything i could do? I really could use some help im very stuck!

My iPod lock button is stuck down. How do I get it out?
Okay, so I went to turn my iPod on and found my lock button was stuck down into the housing of the iPod, I cannot get it out and cannot turn my iPod on. Should I just buy a new iPod or is there a way of repairing it?

I got the iphone 5 six months ago. The lock button broke two months ago so I went to apple and got a new one. My lock button just recently broke so can I go get another phone seeing that it is still within the first year? Or will they not give me another one seeing I already got a new one? I've had the phone for six months and the lock button has already broke twice.
There is no limit on warranty replacements.
As long as it is defective,not damaged -
Top lock button quit working how do i fix it
my top lok button stopped working along with my front facing camera please help
There is no fixing the lock button without voiding the warranty; however,there is a work around. Go to Settings>General>Acessibility>Assistive Touch
Turn that ON, once you have done so, a white square/circular icon will pop up onto your screen. If you click it, click on DEVICE and hit the button that says LOCK screen, your phone will now be locked. Since your lock button is now broken, I would advise for you to ocassionally restart your phone, maybe a few times a month, to prevent it from lagging, you can do this by hitting the White square/circular button>Device, and holding down the Lock screen button a for a few seconds, and powering it off. To turn it back on, simply plug your phone back into the charger. As for the camera not working, I have no idea how to fix that.
