My top on off button is stuck. How can I fix this?

My top button to power phone down is stuck. How can I get it to release?

If you do not succeed in making it go again (the reset method): then read this:

The reset: hold the Home and Power button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the whit apple logo appears, then let go and let the iphone start up completely.

  • My iPod touch 4th generation turns off by itself. How can I fix this?

    My iPod Touch 4th generation turns off my itself. How can I fix this? This is not the first time this has happened. I usually hold down the home button and the power button at the same time for a few seconds and it'll turn back on but this time that won't work. What should I do?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore from Backup..  Restore as New...
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • My LED light turns on and off on its own, how can I fix this?

    I dropped my phone today and my LED light on the back by the camera turns on and off randomly. I've dropped it before today and it just now started doing this. How can I fix it or do I have to bring it in to a Apple store?

    The phone is probably broken. You will have to take it to an Apple store for repair or replacement.

  • IPod abrubtly cuts off and only comes back on when you unlock the hold button. why and how can i fix this?

    I listen to my iPod Classic at work and it kept cutting off today out of nowhere and this hasn't happened before. I have it in my pocket so I have the HOLD button in the lock position so the wheel won't get pressed while in my pocket. I figured it died on me but I had just charged it last night so I took it out and unlocked the HOLD button. Well, the music immediately came back on. It happened a few more times and i figured maybe it was the song or something so I changed albums and it kept happening. Every time it would cut off, I'd unlock the HOLD button and it'd come back on every time, almost like it was paused or something. Has anyone experienced this? if so, how do I fix it? I really don't want to buy a new iPod since I have little money because of school, bills, and photography/film equipment. Help? thanks.

    I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this too.  This is what is going on.  Sometimes the iPod (iPod Classic 160GB) does not "like" the songs I've downloaded from cds.  Sometimes it does.  I think it always plays whatever songs I've purchased on iTunes though.  The other day I synced it to add two new cds and somehow the iPod was wiped clean--no songs, no pictures, nothing. I did a reset and the songs came back but now these problems: 
    1. The song will play for a few seconds then it either skips to the next song.
    2. The song won't play, just skips to the next song.
    3. Everything just stops, the iPod is still 'on' but won't play anything.
    4. Right now it's playing an Aimee Mann album that I downloaded but it wouldn't play the Joni Mitchell album just before.  Is the iPod making a comment on my taste in music? 
    Flipping the lock back and forth helps sometimes, but not always.
    I bought this device less than two years ago; I really hope it's not permanently messed up. Should I just go to the Apple Store (please I beg of you, don't make me!) and throw myself at their mercy?
    Help!! My iPod is the only thing that gets me through the day in this office.

    Is this an Apple issue or my iPad issue, and how can it be fixed.
    Thanks

    As a quick look at the forum topics would have shown, it is a widely reported issue. Its most certainly on the App store servers adn will likely be resolved in the very near future.

  • I have two iphones and i synced them now i cant delete my contacts off one phone without it automatically deleting off the other.. how can i fix this?

    please help!!

    That's what syncing does. It keeps the information on multiple devices "in sync" with each other. It is working as designed.
    What are you syncing your iPhones with? iTunes, iCloud, Google Sync, Exchange?
    If you don't want one phone to sync with the other, you'll have to turn off syncing on that phone, or change what it syncs with.

  • The silent/ringer switch and the volume control buttons stopped working, how can I fix this or do I just need to get a new phone?

    One day I relalized that the silent/ringer switch on my iPhone 4 stopped working. My phone is permently silent and I can't turn the ringer on. The speakers still work so they aren't the problem. Also, the volume controls on the side don't work either. Is this problem fixable or do I need to get a new phone?

    you can try the restore first to make sure it is nothing software related. makesure to back up information and restore as new. after that it is hardware if your with in the limited hardware warranty and can be replaced for free if you are not then it can be replaced for 149$ if it is a iphone 4 or lower

  • My ipod keeps flashing on and off by itself and goes tto the power off slide message. How do I fix this?

    My ipod keeps flashing on and off by itself and goes to the power off slide screen. How can I fix this problem?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • I have An Ipod Touch 4g and My Sleep/Wake Button is stuck inside so i am unable to press it How can i fix this?

    I have An Ipod Touch 4g and My Sleep/Wake Button is stuck inside so i am unable to press it How can i fix this?

    If not caused by accidental damage, the iPod Touch includes a one year warranty. If your iPod Touch remains under warranty, you can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. If the iPod Touch remains under warranty you open the iPod Touch youself or by a 3rd party, doing so will void the warranty. If you live near an Apple Store, make an appointment to see if the store can get the button unstuck. If not under warranty, there won't be any charge for this.

  • The center button on my 5th generation ipod is stuck in the down position - How can I fix this?

    The center button on my 5th generation ipod is stuck in the down position - How can I fix this?

    I'm not sure if there really is a way to "fix" it without diassembling the iPod in some manner.  Perhaps you find or use some sort of tool that can attach itself to the center botton and allow you to pull up to try and pop it out.  Kind of like the way a plunger works, but I don't know if you'll be able to find anything that small. :S
    Perhaps it would be worth it to send the iPod to a third party service company who would be able to fix it at a pretty reasonable cost. A simple Google search for "iPod repair" should give you a number of results to work with.

    My ipod is stuck in permanent shuffle. It won't play albums or my playlists in the order that they were created. How can I fix this?

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.

  • My messages screen on the iphone 4 is stuck kina like frozen and it wont rotate how can i fix this

    my messages screen on the iphone 4 is stuck kina like frozen and it wont rotate how can i fix this?

    Double tap home button quickly in new row of icons at bottom, tap and hold your Message Icon until the Red Minus Sign appears, tap it to delete from background memory. Then slide all the icons to the right, all the way, see if the Lock Icon is present, if locked, unlock it. See if Message is better, if not, Reset iPhone, hold both home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let the iPhone restart itself, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.
