  • 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

  • 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 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?

  • Iphone 4 top lock button is stuck and not working?

    top 'lock' button is stuck down and wont allow me to lock my screen or turn it on and off..what to do? / are replacements free?

  • Lock button is stuck down? help!

    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?
    Thanks

    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.

  • 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. 
    For DIY instructions, search the iPod Repair Tutorials and YouTube How To websites. 

  • 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.

    lock button got stuck or broke.. this is the second time this has happened and my phone is refurbish. do i have to pay the replacement cost?

    Warranty on a refurbished unit is 90 days or the remainder of the original phone's warranty, whichever is longer.  If you're outside this period, you will again pay the replacement fee.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

    Hi Pharao,
    just made quick 'n dirty a website, which will (hopefully...) explain and show, how to modify an iDVD theme to your needs..
    in result, the videoDVD's menu will look like this:
    (this is an iDVD-generated menu!)
    you wanted something like that...?

    ... too many pics to publish the workflow here.. (lots of pics with nice red arrows.. ), but it is just a 3-step process ...

  • My lock button is stuck

    One moment my lock button was fine, an now it's stuck in place. Is there any way that I could fix it or get it replaced?

    Mine isn't very responsive either, I really have to press hard on it
    Not happy about it.

  • Lock Button is stuck

         Is there an easy way to pop off the back of the phone and see what's going on with the lock button? It sticks and I have to push down with force for the phone to lock. I'd like to trade my phone in for a new one and know I will be low balled for reimbursement if I go in with it stuck.

    Has it been over a year since purchase? If not do not open that phone under any circumstances.
    Go to an Apple Store and they can assist you. Don't use Verizon to warranty it out, nor let them touch it under any circumstances.
    Good Luck
