You will need to pay to have it replaced. Check with third-party repair depots. It's cheaper than Apple. In the mean time, here is a workaround to get it to work.

That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If you're talking about the physical button, bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me mad having to put my pass code in all the time and the screen keeps going blank :( HELP!

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me crazy as the screen keeps going blank and I have to constantly put in my pass code every few seconds. Can someone help me out please. The pass code lock is set at 10 minutes but it's happening every few seconds :(

I've run into the issue and it seems to be related to an app not fully supporting the iOS you're on, the reboot doesn't usually solve it.
I've solved it in the following manner(s):
1) Backup the device to iCloud, then erase the iPad (Content and Network Settings).
2) Setup the iPad and choose to restore from iTunes/iCloud Backup (wherever you backed it up)
3) Perform any software updates
I have not tried simply performing the software updates (which may fix it, but if it doesn't you won't be able to perform the above steps).
Enjoy.

After trying to restore iPod several times, it is incapable of verifying the restore. Any ideas how to fix it? I've restarted both the iPod and my computer several times, and have redownloaded the lastest version of iTunes. Help?

My iPod had an error and I attempted to restore the iPod to factory defaults. It was able to empty the iPod of the software on it, but it has yet to be able to successfully restore the iPod. It goes through all the steps successfully until it gets to the "Verifying iPod Restore." After the progress bar has completed, it then gives me an error message. Every time, it's the same message: Error 6. However, none of the suggestions on the apple technical site have worked. I even completely turned off ALL of my anti-virus /firewall programs and it still would not go through. Any suggestions how to fix it?

Joe,
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.

Recently when I attempt to save a Pages document it won't allow me the option. The SAVE button is not bolded as an option to click on. Any ideas how to fix this?

Recently I have not been able to save Pages notes/documents that I have created. I have never had this problem before. When I attempt to SAVE, the button isn't bolded so I don't have the option to save. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Hi Peter, I appreciate any ideas you might have. I tried Apple support and I ended up at some 'unavailable' voicemail!?!!
I am using Pages '09.
It's not being auto saved.
I typically save to both pages and document files but I can't save anything. When I go to close it and it asks me if I want to save, the save window comes up but the SAVE button isn't bolded as an option. I have tried Command C but of course it brings me back to the same window. This only began happening a few days ago. I use Pages a lot.

I have an Ipod Classic and currently the screen lights up but no information appears - just a blank back lit screen.Any ideas how to rectify or is it beyond saving?

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

IPod freezes when playing from a docking station...Any ideas about a fix?

I have had my current iPod for a couple of years now, and until recently it has worked flawlessly. Over the past couple of months a problem has develoed when I play my iPod from a docking station. When I play the iPod from it's cradle (connected to my HK Soundsticks) or from my JBL Speaker Base, the iPod plays fine for the first few songs. After a few songs, the iPod stops in the middle of song and skips to the next song, then skips three of four times without playing at all and utltimately locks up completely. The problem seems to arise when I am simultaneously playing and charging.
Any ideas?
I am using a 40mb, clickwheel, iPod.

All I can suggest is to re-encode the video as m4v with QT Pro, there might've been a problem in encoding. Also, try sending this same video (setting TV Out to Yes) with the iPod not plugged into the dock and with an Apple RCA cable, if you have one, hooked up to a TV. If that works, the dock connector might be damaged (unlikely) but it's possible. So once you've re-encoded, see if the dock situation works then. Good luck.
