Nano 5g and the hold button

About a week ago I turned the hold button on and couldn't get the hold button to turn off for almost then an hour. Then it just stopped and I haven't had the problem since. For the last three days, I've been having a different problem with the hold button. When I push the button to the hold position, it's like the ipod doesn't register it right away. It can take anywhere from 10 seconds to 1 minute for the hold symbol to come on and the ipod to actually be in the hold cycle.
I fully charged the ipod and reset it by pressing menu and select but that didn't change anything. Anyone know whats happening and how I can fix it?

Try putting it in "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 and then restoring it with ipod updater 06-28-2006

When restarting my iPad 1 freezes on the apple logo. It even does when I try and do a reset by holding power and the hold button for 10 seconds.

If the reset doesn't work, you have to force the iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Ipod touch 4g has broken pins and the hold button is defective, is it eligible for off warranty replacement online it says it'd be $99.99

i have an ipod touch 4g 16gb ios 6.1.5.
the dock port pins are damaged badly, music has not played for a while but is come and go now. dont know why (without headphones)
and the hold button doesn't work, will apple still honor the "off warranty replacement thingy" i had issues with my old ipod (not dock issues)
i know they check the dock port on arrival, but i need to know if the ipod will qualify or not
thanks in advance

Almost assuredly the answer is yes. Take it to an Apple store for replacement or contact them using the Contact Us link at the bottom of this page.

I can't turn my iPhone 4 and the Hold button is stuck, any advices? And my iPhone has been in charge for few hours and nothing happens.

Try a reset: hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds, until an Apple logo appears on the screen.

The Hold Button

i have a 30gig video ipod and the hold button on my ipod doesn't seem to work
even when my ipod is on "hold" it will turn on by its self in my bag

well it seem like everyone has been having problems since the latest update.
But in addition to the ones stated above, my ipod freezes, it crashes in the middle of songs, videos, and podcasts, and then somehow, my music and videos we're completely wiped out!

IPod nano gen 4 forward button won't work, and the hold switch won't either. I've tried restoring it and it didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions?

Restore to factory settings.new iPod if you have not yet already. If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

The hold button won't work and this morning i cracked the screen!!

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me! The hold switch on my ipod nano does not work, or is very slow. It only works if I press down very hard on the hold button. This is of course very frustrating!
However, just this morning I cracked the screen.I know that cracked screens are accidental damage and are therefore not covered by warranty, but the hold button was not working before the screen was cracked- it is just bad luck that this has happened before sending my ipod off to Apple to see if they can resolve the issue.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the hold-button issue fixed even though the screen is cracked? I am a bit of a disaster area with electrical goods, having cracked the screen of my laptop and of my phone in the past!
Thanks

I believe it is a hardware issue, you have to send it
repairing.
yeah but I won't be able to get the repair done on warranty, will I?

Mine is not a question but I received the solution to the iphone 4s not discovering bluetooth, you hold the top button and the home button until the apple logo comes up and then let it reboot, put your bluetooth in pairing mode, and then turn on bluetooth

My new iphone 4s would not discover bluetooth. I called apple, and the guy was great!!! He told me to hold the top button and the home button together and do not let go until the apple logo came up, this would do a hard reset. Then when it reboots, you turn on your bluetooth in paring mode, and then turn on the bluetooth on your iphone 4s and it will find your bluetooth device. Simple, yet it works!!! Hope this helps those of you having the same problem I was having trying to connect your bluetooth.

My ipod screen turned white. i had read online that if i hold the power buton and the home button that it would turn off. It turned off but wouldnt turn back on. I had left the ipod on the charger all night and tryed this morning. nothing would happen. but when i checked it this afternoon the battery was dead. when ever i turn it on the password screen fades to white. what do i do.

I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button together while being plugged into the computer. What do I do?

Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Hey there mello12,
It sounds like you are not able to turn on your phone. You should use these steps in the following article to help resolve it, or setup service if needed:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
