Select button will not work

My 2gb nano's select button will suddenly not work. The rest of the clickwheel and buttons work find, but not the center select button.
I restored it to original settings. Then after it restarts, you have to select a language. The select button would still not work, but then I slid the "hold" button back and forth and the select button worked to allow me to chose a language. But at the next screen of options (Music/Photos/Extras, etc.) the select button will again not work. Sliding the hold button back and forth doesn't work. I cannot do a menu+select reset because I can't get the select button to respond.
I have made sure that I have the most updated softward for the nano.
Any suggestions?

My select button has not worked for a loong time.. It will occasionally work if I press for long enough or hard enough.. but not very often. This seems to be a common enough problem so there should be a way to fix it..I hope..

  • Select button does not work

    I have a Classic Ipod 60G and I have almost 6,000 songs on it. I also have my contacts from outlook and my photos from Adobe Photoshop. It is only half full. It is stuck on "songs" and I cannot choose the music I want to hear and I cannot access my photos, settings, contacts, etc. I've upgraded Itunes automatically and am currently on Version 10 and my music is synced with Itunes and any new music automatically downloads to my Ipod. But cannot hear them because my select button will not click to change from songs to "playlist or artist". What do I do? My old Ipod, a 15G classic has no problem, but my newer 60G has a stuck program or a stuck button. Which is it?

    I also had the same problem. After reading many suggestions on how to fix, I tried the one that seems to work for many people.  I plugged my apple tv into my pc ( itunes) and it automatically asked if I would like to restore it and  that it will download any updated software.  I followed the instructions and when it was complete I tried it out and it worked perfectly. When Apple TV is plugged into your pc it does not need any power. Also you need to use a micro usb to connect it.  Hope this will help!
    There was a problem for a short while (see link below) but as of a few days ago you no longer have to do anything special to update the Apple TV2 since Apple released v4.4.2.  All you need to do is go to Setttings > General > Update and it will automatically update to v4.2.2 from any earlier version.

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • My 'Menu' button will not work. How can I fix this?

    The menu button will not work.
    Is there anything I can do myself to fix this problem?
    It works occasionally, but mostly does not work.
    Thanks

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • HT1695 Slide button will not work to turn on the wifi?

    I cannot connect to wifi which I need to back up my phone as the slide button will not work on this setting only

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

  • There is no longer a "close tab" under the file menu, so how do I go back to a previous page when the back button will not work?

    Often the back button will not work. I can find no "close tab" under the menus, which I think used to be there, and which is used with Internet Explorer to go to the previous page. How can I go back to the previous page with Firefox when the back button will not work?

    No you can't. Apple don't support downgrading of iOS.

  • HT1349 my home button will not work properly... I have to hold it down several times for it to go to the home screen

    my home button will not work properly... I have to hold it down several times for it to go to the home screen

    I would try a restore just to see if it could be something software related, but if that doesn't work I would recommend taking to an Apple Store to see if it is a serious hardware issue and if it is, assuming you're in warranty, then they would be able to replace your phone.

  • My home button will not work, can anyone help.

  • I updated my iphone 5 to 6.1.2 and my lock button will not work anymore and idea what i can do to fix this

    i updated my iphone 5 to 6.1.2 and my lock button will not work anymore and idea what i can do to fix this or what i can do to get it fixed

    I'm having similar issues with my phone.  I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year.  Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas.  When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore.  I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting.  That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore.   I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
    My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router.  When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there.  Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

  • Centre button will not work... again

    i thought it was resolved... and that it was a small glitch... but the centre button is not working again. any suggestions?
    below is my previous post:
    all of a sudden... the centre button on my ipod nano 4th generation device is not working. the updates are up-to-date... and i have since restored the system back to the manufacturers setting... and now i am stuck at the language menu... asking for me to choose a language. but i can't choose anything because the 'select' (centre) button does not work.
    any ideas??

    i did contact apple support and they are sending a replacement... using the serial number on the back.
    though i may have found the culprit. i put my ipod in my friends stereo/ipod player so i can charge up... i left it there for about 30 minutes... and both times when i unplugged it, that the centre button is stuck.
    for both occassions... that i repeatedly pressed the centre button (probably about 50 times) and it finally worked.

  • Intermittent problem- send or comment buttons will not work- Reboot only sometimes fixes- does not happen in IE

    Recently I have found that when in FB- the 'send' or 'comment' buttons do NOT work. I have also just found that the X along side a post - to get the dropdown to hide, etc- does not work either.
    I have logged of and back on. I have closed firefox and restarted. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. and then restarted firefox. Nothing works. It seems like this happened a few times and when I came back to the computer after several hours, it was ok. Most of the time I have to reboot.
    While this is happening, some other functions work fine. For instance, if I click on HOME or PROFILE it works. Only seems to be the 'buttons'.
    What's making me really crazy is that it is intermittent! And when it happens, if I open IE (ugh) it works fine.
    Only fixes found at FB are to clear cache, cookies, etc. which I have already stated do nothing at all. Any ideas?

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • HT201412 I have a Ipod touch 4th gen. and the volume button or power off button will not work.

    My Ipod touch volume button on the side will not work. Niether will my power off button. I just updated to IOS 6.1.2 and now they will not work. It will not even go to the sleep screen?!!! Help

    Try (as best you can):
    - 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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - 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.
