  • Buttons getting stuck down

    Since 2.0.2 (and even before I think) buttons have been getting stuck down after I press them. This doesn't happen very often- maybe once or twice a day- but this is a very major issue IMHO! Today I was in notes, looking at one of my notes (a to-do list) and I deleted a few characters. The delete button got stuck down and deleted almost everything in the note before I could get out of it. I am pretty ****** off because there was a lot of important information in that note.
    Is this a known issue, and will it be fixed soon?

    Have you tried doing a hard reset of the phone? (Hold down the sleep/wake button on the top right of the phone and the home button until you see the apple logo)

  • 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.

  • The home button is stuck 'down' on Ipod touch 5

    My daughter's Ipod 5 touch home button is stuck 'down' (pressed position) and won't work.  Is this fixable?

  • My screen is cracked and my home button is stuck down. Where can I get this fixed?

    On my iPod touch 4th G my screen broke in the bottom right corner and there are spider cracks all the way up to the top of my iPod screen. Also, now my home button is stuck down; a shard of glass probably is preventing the button from popping back up. Where can I get this fixed?

    Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending up the capacity.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    At the time, my iPod Touch was fully charged. After deleting everything, I pressed "ERASE CONTENTS AND SETTINGS" button.
    I switched off my iPod Touch button IN ERROR because the process world take long. I repeat: After deleting everything, I pressed "ERASE CONTENTS AND SETTINGS" button. I switched off my iPod Touch button IN ERROR because the process world take long.
    What am I supposed to do next?

    - What happens when you turn the iPod back on?
    - For a 1G and 2G Pod, erasing all contents and settings can take hours and you need to have it connected to a chargings source.
    - You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then retore via iTunes.  For recoverymode:

  • Hey,im wondering if there is any way to track down or finf ipod touch 4th gen. through the serial number?

    Yhey,im wondering if there is any way to track down or finf ipod touch 4th gen. through the serial number?

    No, the only way to track it is "Find My iPhone". And the app has to be installed and activated before your device is lost.

  • How can i track down a stolen ipod touch with just my serial number

    how can i track down a stolen ipod touch with just my serial number

    You can't. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours IF it is recovered.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • My 4th generation ipod touch's sleep button is stuck

    I've had this iPod touch for two years now and just recently I tried unlocking my iPod from its sleep and the button would not click. When I unlocked it, I couldnt get it to go to sleep and I had to resort to using AssistiveTouch. I don't know wha happened to my Ipod, but I am very sad about it. I dont think there's any gunk that is keeping it stuck. What should I do?
