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?

Contact (Google) a third-party iPod repair service and get it serviced.

    My friend jail broke my ipod touch with out my permittion. And now the lock button is stuck down, great. How much would it cost to fix, would they charge more if they find out its jail broken?

    If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, you can use virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Assessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even be used to turn OFF iPhone, by holding down on it. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • 4th Gen iTouch lock button got stuck. How do I fix this?

    How do I fix this? My 4th Gen iTouch's lock button got stuck and I can't use it. I'm left with the home button and accessibility button. Power Mac Service Centers didn't fix or replace it even though it is still covered by the warranty because they said that it had a dent on the lower left side.

    Try:
    fix for Home button
    iPhone Home Button Not Working or Unresponsive? Try This Fix
    - If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch
    - If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for the following. The dent indicates abuse which voids the warranty on the entire iPod.

  • My iPod touch is in recovery mode, how do I get it out of this?

    My daughter's iPod touch is in recovery mode (we know this by the code it gives us when she plugs it in to the computer), how do we get it out of this?  We have tried resetting by holding down the on/off button and the other button on the bottom front of the iPod for 30 seconds to a minute and nothing happens.

    Two ways to get the iPod Touch out of recovery mode.
    From iTunes click "Restore" this will download the latest iOS for your iPod Touch and install it.
    Second way is to press and hold both the home button and the sleep button for around ten seconds and release them when the Apple logo shows on the screen.

  • Dvd-disc stuck. How do I get it out?

    Hi,
    I put in an dvd that the dvd player can´t read. But now I don´t even get it out. The "eject dick" command is not feasible in the toolbar and ommand-E dosn´t work either.
    Is there another way?
    gunnar

    Hold down the Option key at Startup. The screen redraws with an Icon for each bootable Volume, and the Eject key is "live" once all the icons are drawn. This tends to work a little better because software can't "Grab" the contents of the drive and lock it up.
    If it is still stuck, make an appointment at the Genius Bar. Those guys solve this problem for users all day, every day, and they have disc extraction down to a science. If they do not have to remove the drive, there is generally no charge, in warranty or out.

  • The locked button, is stuck ( broken) in down position

    IiPod Nano top lock button is stuck, so can't switch it on or off or change the music, it about 18 mths old. Is there anything I can do.?

    If you purchased Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • My iPod is dead, and it will not charge. Also, my lock button is stuck. What should I do to fix it?

    Earlier today, my iPod touch lock button got stuck. That wasn't a problem. Now, it wont charge. I just tired to reset it, and it went off. But now, I can't even turn it back on. What should I do??!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these:
    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
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My lock button is stuck and when I push it it won't lock. Should I bring it to the apple store?

    Yeah so my lock button is stuck inside the iPod and I can't get it out. It doesn't lock my iPod but if I try to push it nothing happens. Should I bring it to the apple store by my house??

    You can't backup the iPod then.
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and restore via iTunes:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                           
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
    Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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        
    If data is not in the backup then:
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Maybe you can get some info from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos
