My ipod touch4 power button is stuck down, i cannot turn off or on. Help?

I have a gel case for my ipod touch and it seems to have stuck my power button in. Any ideas how I can 'unstick' the power button so I can turn it off and on?

  • Iphone 4 power button is stuck down and iphone won't turn on

    My iPhone 4 power button is stuck down, and it won't come back up. The next best part is, my phone is either off or dead i don't know which, and i plug it into my computer/wall charger and nothing happens.

    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.
    - 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.
    - 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Apple will most likely exchange it. The one you receive will be refurbished.

    Then the SIM may have failed. Try removing and re-inserting it. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to get the SIM replaced by your carrier.

  • TS3274 has anyone had a problem with the on/off button being stuck down?  my IPad is on, but the power button is stuck down and I cannot power off

    I have and IPad 2.  I realized (while travelling by air) that my power button was stuck in the down position.  I cannot power off my IPad.  Wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue and what you may have done to rectify?  I think Apple may be aware of this problem.  I stopped into an Apple store and they were not supprised, but I could  not make an appt because I was traveling and did not live in the area.  Thanks for any ideas.

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • The power button is stuck down

    Hello all Mac Enthusiasts,
    The power button on MBP is stuck down and the slightest touch activates the computer and when is active the Shut-down menu shows up.
    Should I contact apple? or is there a work around?
    Thank you,
    solar

    I'd contact AppleCare as if it's a physical problem you're not going to be able to do much without opening your MBP and hence, voiding your warranty.

  • My iPhone 4s Power Button is stuck down and it won't turn on

    I tried plugging it into my computer and it didn't turn on either.

    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears. If nothing happens after holding for up to 30 seconds your phone is broken. If something other than an Apple logo appears follow the on-screen instructions.
    But if you "forgot" your passcode you will have to restore your phone using iTunes. If you use the last computer you synced the phone to this will remove your passcode. If you use any other computer, or you never synced your phone, you will lose all content.

  • My power button is stuck and I have the white screen of death!

    Hello and thank you for reading this post, the answer is desperatly needed.
    What's the problem?
    Okay, a couple of months ago I smashed my iPod 4th Gen screen unfortunatly. I ordered a new screen and decided to fit it last night. Upon powering the iPod only a white screen shows, I was told that I have to hold the power button and the home button for 10 seconds. One day, before the screen was broken, I pushed the power button and it got stuck down and wouldn't come back up so I have always had to use the assistive touch and plug it in whenever I would like to turn it on. Obviously, because the power button is stuck down I cannot hold it down and press the home button to reset the iPod.
    Is there another way around this or is there a way to get the power button to come back out?
    Thank you
                - Stay Safe

    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

  • HT1414 Pressing on off button at top takes a screenshot. I cannot turn off or even reboot iphone

    Pressing on off button at top takes a screenshot. No other buttons are pressed and I cannot turn off or even reboot the iPhone.
    The home button will often do nothing or sometimes brings up Siri with a quick click Instead of the prolonged click and hold you normally need for Siri.
    I've tried rebooting, resetting user data, and restoring the iPhone, with no change.
    You think it's fixed itself but an hour later it will start doing the same thing again.
    This happens a dozen or so times a day.
    The only thing that will unlock the phone is waiting somewhere between one and five minutes at which point it will simply resolve itself for a while.
    It doesn't seem to be associated with any one particular application. It can happen with any application.

    Diesel, as I'd mentioned in my first post I'd tried that, although only from backup. I thought it fixed the problem but then it reappeared.
    Interestingly enough, (and I don't normally condone tapping on a device), my friend gave it a good tap, this morning, and it started working instantly. Coinsidence? I didn't know. It's locked up numerous times since then during the day today, and I've tried his tapping technique again and it's worked every time. Now I don't know what to think. I didn't think there were any parts inside that would be effected by tapping it but this doesn't give me a warm feeling about the hardware inside.
