Pressing the Lock/Power button now adjust the volume

When I am done using the phone (S3) I've always pressed the right bottom (Power / Lock) so that the screen will blank out.
Now, since the 4.3 upgrade, when I push the right hand Power/Lock button, 1/2 of the time, it brings up the VOLUME control.
This is a real pain, and I do not see a way to disable.
Please advise, this is very fustrating.

Thanks Ann, It's weird, It just started with the upgrade, but I will make a conscience effort to watch that. It could very well be the case, which would be an easy fix.
Thanks for the suggestion.
-Bob

Firstly, what is the source of the 10.6.4 disc? Is it the original installation disc for your MacBook, or one 'borrowed' from another computer?
It isn't the retail version, because that's 10.6.3.
Assuming it's the correct disc (i.e. the one that shipped with your Mac), you need to boot from it again.
OK the language page.
From the installer screen, ignore the continue button, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.).
Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need.
Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
When the Macintosh HD volume appears below the drive name, quit DU and see if you can then install.
If the screen after the language screen doesn't show the menu bar, it may be necessary to use another Mac to do the job with the MB in Firewire Target Disc Mode. If it won't boot in TDM, or the MB doesn't have FireWire then it's getting very difficult.

My ipod has a blank white screen. I have tried pressing home and power button at same time and a restore and its still the same. Can anyone help please

Can anyone help me please? My ipod has a white screen that i cant get rid off. I have tried pressing home and power button at same time. I have tried a restore from itunes and its still the same. I cant even turn it off. Please someone help me.

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.

IPhone 5 unresponsive lock/power button

Hey, I purchased my 16gb iPhone 5 on launch day, however within the last month or two I have had nothing but trouble with the lock/power button. In order to use the button i have to press the lock button roughly ten times in one are before it will actually lock my iPhone. I cannot lock my phone a majority of the time, take screen shots, once my phone crashed and switched itself off i couldnt get the phone back on for a good wee while, resetting the phone without itunes has been a huge issue too.
I have factory reset the phone through itunes and continued to search for numerous solutions, nothing seems to work. I stay pretty far out from an Apple store and have tried contacting apple via phone though they just told me to reset ect and when i told them that wasnt working the guy highiligted there was nothing more the company could do for me. I love apple and the quality most of their products have, I do however feel rather let down by my iPhone five as i have had other issues with it too.
Can anybody reccomend anything else to try if they have had the same issue?? or if you have gone to an apple store have they been able to replace it?? its a pretty pricey journey to make for no solution to be offered.

I have this problem by myself and a collegue also.
Okay Apple will change the phone. Here in Germany we can change the product 3 times and as i see and hear it the power button problem is a big one, and because even on low usage time the problem appears. What if i changed the iPhone 5 already 3 times and the 3rd one has the same problems? i want a working iPhone 5.
@rebecca_tait Did you change the iPhone already? If yes, does the new iPhone 5 have a better Power Button?

With USB Cable connect iPhone to power source, charger or USB port of computer. The iPhone should begin to start immediately.

Where can i repair my iphone 5 lock/power button?

I have a problem with my iphone 5 lock/power button, it works randomly, but the main issue is that my carrier won't agree to repair/replace it under warranty since it has some minor scratches in the sides.
Here (at mexico) we do not have apple stores so I can't take it there, also apple refuses to take it under warranty because the iphone was purchased directly with the carrier. Any suggestions on how can i solve this issue?
I think it kinda lame to have the year long warranty just to realize you cant make it valid here at mexico under some dumb technicallity.

Until you sort out the "dumb technicallity". Use Assistive Touch for perfect Virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. This can even be used to turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
Please help!

Clicking noise when you press the volume controls ?

Hello !
Is there a way to turn off the anoying sound effects when you press the volume level keys ?
Thanks &
Take Care
Roy

Temporarily: Hold the Shift key while you press the volume controls.
OR
Permanently: Disable "Play feedback when volume is changed" in the Sound Effects tab of the Sound Control Panel.

I Pod Locks when i press the "Volume Up" Button

Nothing happens when i press volume down except for turning down the volume, i have a feeling it might have of occurred while i was cleaning my i pod.
Help Please!

Yes I did reboot.
And yes I can still adjust the sound on the menu bar.
I also noticed that there is an eject symbol on my menubar which wasn't always there.
And I don't really think it belongs there since I have a Macbook Air and thus no CD/DVD reader.
+volume control keys on the noName bluetooth keyboard work.
on that one the control keys are in no relation to the f-Keys
Any other Idea what the Problem or maybe even the solution might be?

My volume doesnt work and when i press the volume button it shows the headphones volume on the screen without any headphones being plugged in. what can i do to fix this?

My volume on my iPad doesnt work, when I press the voulme button it shows the headphones volume on the screen without any headphones being plugged in. Is there a fix for this?

Try going to settings> general > reset> reset all settings. If that doesn't work. Place a headphone jack in there and just pull it out a couple times. The problem is either your iPad setting is stuck or there is actually a hardware problem and moving the jack in and out might fix it

Lock/Power button issue.

When I press my lock button the phone will lock itself then will ocasionally bring up the power down option as if I had held it down. Also it has started locking itself randomly when I'm using it (except on phone calls). Is this something wrong with the button itself or are there other issues with the phone. Everything else works fine with the phone and I have no other issues with it at all.

Hey mate
Seems to be a issue in the actual phone ....
If you still have warranty you can get a free replacement !!!!! At apple store , authorised service provider and apple care ... If not the replacement price will be a cost of $179.95 + plus 3 months hardware warranty
I'll leave 2 articles below one for Genius Bar 2 apple care phone numbers :)

Screen is slow to wake up from black when pressing Home or Power button

My iPhone 3GGS has been working great since the upgrade to iOS 4, with the exception of a couple of small bugs. I have since upgraded to version 4.0.1 and the bugs are still present. I am posting the bugs here to see if anyone else has run into these, or if there are known fixes.
1. Slow to wake from black screen - Most of the time my phone now takes its sweet time to wake from sleep or a black screen when I press the Home or Power button. It does not always do this, sometimes it wakes right up, but I woul sya that it does this at least half the time.
2. Screen is slow to update and display caller details when ringing. I have noticed that since the update to version 4 my phone will light up, then start ringing/vibrating at least 3 seconds before it will display that there is an incoming call. There also is a delay of another coupld of seconds before it will display the caller details.
3. Similarly, I have noticed that if I have the apple headset in I will feel the phone start to vibrate in my pocket at least 2-3 seconds before the the appropriate ring tone starts to play. Essentially I can answer the call using the button on the headset before it actually "rings".
Again, these are not huge issues, but they are pretty annoying. Does anyone have any thoughts?

While it is unfortunate that you have this problem, I am glad that I am not the only one.
Have you performed a hard restore of the firmware to factory settings without also restoring backup? In the past apple support as recomended that procedure for odd issues. It is not fun since you have to reconfigure by hand and lose all of your settings and application data, but it has worked for other issues.
I have not tried this yet - I have full three stars in angry birds and do not want to lose the status. Sad, i know.

Lock/power button jammed

this is my third iphone 4 since november 2011, all hardware problems, i didnt drop or anything, first was the power button was jammed, got a new one, then there was so sound, so i got this one for about 3 months and now the power button is jammed again, this is beginning to become a pain, why are these refurbished iphones so ******? should i bring it in to apple, will they replace it for free? and how do i know this wont happen again and again

It depends on whether or not it's determined to be physical damage caused by a drop etc. If the phone is under warranty and it's determined not to be from misuse or physical damage, they should swap it out for you. If it's physical damage and the store is tough about their terms, it may cost you $199. Hopefully they'll be able to swap it from the LED flash issue, since that seems to be a hardware defect.

My macbook pro volume is locked. there is a circle with a line through it when i press the volume buttons but no volume will sound. music and videos will not play and there is no red light on in the headphone jack.

Any suggestions of what could be wrong? or how it can be fixed. I have not updated it or anything. this just randomly happened about 2 hours ago. I tried looking for answers but nothing has worked so far.

I tried all of the fixes above and quite a few others like resetting the pram and nvram and what finally worked for me was resetting my sound card from Terminal. Open Terminal and enter the command sudo kill -9 `ps ax|grep 'coreaudio[a-z]' | awk '{print $1}'`. It will ask for your password, enter in your password and press enter. The sound card will be reset and your audio and volume control should be restored..
