Side buttons hard to press

Hi there,
first of all: my Z3 D6603 is 6 months old and does not have a single scratch, it is flawless and had no crash or fall. However over the last months the buttons to the side lost their easiness.
My buttons on the right hand side lost their "click" point, you don't a feeling anymore for when you have actually pressed the button successfully. Power button is half good, volume up is mediocre, volume down is working but I have to press really hard, it is annoying and I fear total loss of function within the next months.
What should I do?

have you dropped your phone or spill any liquid that wasn't water, perhaps soda, beer, etc?

Touchpad button hard to press

I've just converted over from a Windows laptop to this Macbook Pro. It's got a button below the touchpad for clicking.
It's significantly harder to press than the other laptop, and after several hours of use, I feel the strain in my thumb. I've searched around and don't see anyone else having this problem.
Thoughts?

It sounds like you have a unibody MBP, with the whole pad clicker, so you should try asking in the correct forum for that machine:

However, you can compare to another unit and determine if you have a hardware problem; otherwise, activate trackpad gestures, and use a double tap instead of clicking; or consider an external mouse?

Hp notebook 15-n051sm (F4C10EA) Touchpad buttons hard to press

Hi, i bought Hp notebook 15-n051sm(F4C10EA) few days ago, from first moment noticed when you need to use touchpad buttons that they require quite good force for pressing them.
It isnt issue if you use short period of time but for longer usability it's annoying experience.
Had few Hp notebook before and never had some strange experience with touchpad buttons.
Is this normal way to use touchpad buttons of this Notebook models or it's hardware issue which would be better to send product back to seller?
Ty on answers in advance.

How do I fix my iPhone 4 down volume button? It's stiff and hard to press all of a sudden.

All of a sudden, the down button became hard to press, I don't hear that clicking noise it used to make when I press it. The up button is fine, it's just the down button. It still works but I have to press it really hard in order for it to work. How do I fix this? How do I get it replaced if I don't have warrnty onthis and it's been over a year since I got it? How much do I pay?

Apple generally only does replacements, not repairs on the iPhone. An out of warranty replacement would be $149 plus applicable taxes.
You can either call AppleCare or take the phone in to an Apple Retail Store to setup service. You can also try contacting your carrier to see if they have other options for you.

System acts as if I am pressing my Mighty Mouse side buttons.

I have recently begun to experience issues where my system acts as if I am squeezing the side buttons. Sometimes it is find for hours, others it is constantly going back and forth acting like it is being pressed and released constantly.
I tried a regular mouse from my wifes PC and it worked fine. Do I need to reload the OS or is there a repair option that will not delete the 150GB of data I have on my system. Or os there another solution.

Hi dogstar20
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
For the last 2½ years I've had to leave the blasted touchy side buttons turned off!
There's just something about the way I grip the mouse, no matter what system I use, mine, my (friends & neighbors), even the new models on display at BestBuy and the Apple Store.
Go to: *Apple / System Preferences / Keyboard & Mouse / Mouse* and turn the Side Buttons off.

My iphone is silent since downloading IOS7. All settings are correct and the side button is on.

My iPhone is silent (ring tones and text alerts) since downloading IOS7. All settings are correct and the side button is on. HELP! Missing inportant calls.

Try hard reset.
Hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes black. Turn the phone back on.
If that doesn't work, back up the iphone using iTunes.
Re-install the iOS by putting the iPhone into DFU (recovery mode.)
To do this,
Make sure the phone is pluged in to you computer with iTunes open.
Hold the Sleep and home button until the screen goes black, immediately release the sleep button but continue to hold the home button.
After a few seconds your iTunes should recognize your phone in DFU mode.
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
At this point you should click on "Restore iPhone"
After your phone is done restoring, don't start as new iPhone. Restore from back up.
If that doesn't work, you're SOL.
Take it to Apple. Tell them they are stupid.

Why I am unable to adjust the ringer volume by the side buttons and there is no ringer with the Mute button OFF

With the mute switch OFF - I am unable to adjust the ringer volume by the side buttons.
When someone calls/texts there is no sound coming from the speaker.
The headphone jack works when I listen to the Ipod and the speaker works when I change the ringer volume through settings. So i know that the speaker does work
Headphone jack seems clean and dust free
I heard that there may be a Skype issue than can control the speaker volume - so i deleted it but i still cannot get any sound from regular functions.
When I play the Ipod through the speaker with no headphones there is no option to change the volume and no sound.
If it works when i go through settings to set my ring volume, my ringtone plays - then why does it not work otherwise?

I have Iphone4s 16GB, IOS7.0.4 updates having a problem , that when i press + or - volume keys while my iphone is ringing my iphone 4s goes silent .
Whereas you know silent key is used to make the ringing phone silent. This button is working ok while only problem is my iphone goes silent while pressing + or - volume keys as these keys should increase / lower the ringing volume . These keys were ok working in IOS 6.
Where as these keys are also working ok in music player of iphone for IOS 7, the only problem is for ringing.

Mighty Mouse's side buttons too sensitive...

Hi there,
Every two seconds, the fonction of the side button gets activated because I press them by mistake... It's been two weeks and I still hit them by mistake.
How do I make the Mighty Mouse's side buttons less sensitive?
Thanks!
Chris.

for me it's actually static that makes the side buttons operate all on their own just if my hand is barely touching. i don't have this problem when i'm on tile flooring with my new iMac, but in my bedroom on carpet, the mouse and computer act weird becasue of dry climate and static. if i keep my hand on the metal base of the imac i have no problems. as soon as i remove my hand, problems. i'm now working on grounding my computer but that hasn't worked yet. i need to be de-static in some way i think.

Might Mouse Side Buttons stiff

As the topic suggests, I really have to SQUEEZE my might mouse to trigger the side buttons. Is this normal? I don't think a child would be capable of clicking them, that's how hard mine is?

Mine are the same....I'm hoping they'll loosen up over time!

TS1630 I don't know what to do? When I try to set the volume with the side buttons the little speaker shows but the bars don't showe.

What can I do about my iPhone 4s speaker not working

That didn't work.... Thanks tho. When I press the side button it doesnt show me the little bars indicating the volume

Any app to (temp) disable side buttons

When I'm watching something for example (Netflix) and I want to move the phone, I'd like to disable the side buttons leaving only the touch screen to re-enable the side buttons. Often when positioning the phone, I accidentally press the side buttons .....
Any ideas short of buying better co-ordinated hands?

Nothing I can think of.
there isn't anything I know of that allows control of the pwr, vol+, vol-, cam buttons.
you can work on dexterity and coordination though!

HT4085 How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and side button on screen don't work? My cats do these things and the game disappears.

How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and the side button on the screen do not work? When my cats play a game on my ipad, they regularly swipe the screen and push the side button and the game disappears.

The button on the top that you use to lock and unlock or put to sleep is the power button. The button lower center of the screen is the home button...can be used to also wake from sleep and switch to the base home screen.
Good to hear you are now able to lock rotation, even if you are not sure how you did it
If you go to the iBook icon, tap Store in the uppper left side of the screen, you can search for the iPad User Guide...a free download that will place the guide in your iBooks library as a great source of background information.

My iPhone 4S has stuck some how. It won't allow me yo swipe but tells me which button I am pressing! How do I get out of this, tried the usual, on off and holding both to reset but still stuck

My iPhone 4S has stuck and won't allow me to swipe it open! It talks to me and tells me which button I'm pressing, tried to reset ect but not working,

Sounds like you've switched on something under accessibility, I have an iPhone 5s & there it's under settings>General>accessibility.
To swipe you could try using two fingers.
Hth,

The sound doesn't work. It's set appropriately in settings, the volume is turned up all the way with the side buttons, but no volume. When we try to play songs, it acts like it's going to play and then goes back to the play list. Restored and still no
