Sleep and volume buttons broken, but there's another problem.

The sleep and volume buttons on my Ipod touch stopped working recently, and on top of that, my speaker randomly cuts out.
If I squeese the top and bottom of my Ipod hard enough, I can get the sleep button to work for about 3 seconds.
The volume buttons have not responded to anything.
My speaker started cutting out on the first day I got it, but I thought it was because I had set it up wrong. Squeesing the corner where the speaker is located will make it work again, but only for a short amount of time.
I plan on taking my Ipod to an Apple store to have it serviced, but there is one problem.
I accidently cracked my Ipod's screen. The buttons stopped working MONTHS after it happened, and the speaker was already broken.
My Ipod is still under Apple's 1 year warenty, so would they fix the buttons for free under the warenty even if the screen was cracked?
I don't care about the screen getting fixed, I just want the buttons to work again.

I know the screen will not be covered, and I don't need it to be fixed.
What I want to know is will they fix the buttons?
I don't think the buttons would have broken because of the screen because the buttons broke 4 months after the screen broke.
And the speaker was broken right out of the box.

IPad 2 Rotation, Sleep, and Volume Buttons Don't Work.

I have an iPad 2 running 7.1.1 (11D201) and just yesterday the sleep sleep and volume buttons don't work, and the screen won't rotate at all. I have already tried the following:
Switched the Lock Rotation/Mute settings in General
Power cycling it
Held the sleep and menu button to reset it (the button worked for that at least)
Done a network reset
Reset All Settings and restored from backup
Reset All Settings and restored from iCloud
Erase All Content and Settings and restored from backup
Erase All Content and Settings and restored from iCloud
If anyone has any OTHER suggestions besides what I've already tried, I am all ears. Thanks.

Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I recently got IOS 8 and I like it but there is one problem on my camera roll it says i have 600 photos but i went into setting general and about and it says i have 2,743 photos my photos keep on duplicating how do i get this to stop.

Hi Bpaitin,
Go to Settings>General>Usage, and under iCloud, click on Manage Storage>click on your device, then under Backup Options, turn Photo Library off and then back on. See if that clears it up.
If it does not, reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
Cheers,

Why are only my sleep and home buttons working but the screen doesnt recognise my touch

So last night everything on my ipod touch 2nd gen was working fine. then when i woke up, only the sleep and home button worked. My screen isnt picking up any sort of touch at all. when i press the on button, it wont let me slide to unlock. when i press the on and home button at the same time to turn it off, it will not let me slide to power off. HELP!!! It is passed the original 90 day warranty (very old no damage though) and i need an answer ASAP

have you tried charging the device ?
if so and it still does not work you can try a Forced Recovery..
by holding the HOME button down and plugging it into your computer at the same time..

My sleep and volume button are not working. Help please!!!

I tried restoring my Ipod and it doesn't work. It worked once then i couldn't do it again. Please help.

If you only restored from backup, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. If you then still have the problem it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

Hold down sleep and home buttons to get power back to iPad 4 but nothing happens

My iPad 4 was purchased 11/2013. It's in pristine condition. A few weeks ago i opened a email from a known source. The screen vertical hold went loopy and then powered-off. I held the sleep and home buttons and restarted and everything good. Weeks later IOS 7.0.2 update loads. The next day I'm in my FaceBook sending a message and the iPad does the same crash. Screen flips out, goes to blue then black. When I try to reboot with sleep and home button, Apple logo appears, stays locked on screen. I end-up at Apple Store. They do a restore from a previous version. Go home and same sceanrio. Back to Apple Store. This time they restore to like new system. I'm going to have reload all apps and books, etc., - no big deal, but I have to charge battery to do. I put on charger. Few hours later when I take off the charger the iPad will not power on at all. Any ideas out there?

You could try restoring the device again on your own and see of that does any good, but Apple has the capability to restore software by more sophisticated means than we every day users have. My point is that if it were me, I would take it back to the same Apple Store, with the receipt, explain the situation and politely start pushing for a replacement device.
This one seems like it will just cause problems for you moving forward and while it's still well within warranty limits, return it.

Sleep/wake button and volume buttons aren't working..

iPhone 3GS.. The sleep/wake button and volume buttons aren't working.. Can't shut my phone off, can't put it in sleep mode, can't higher or lower volume or can't put phone on vibrate. Does anyone know how to fix this? It just stop working out of the blue.. I tried to reset my phone to network setting but that doesn't do anything for my problem and I am not able to restart phone by hold sleep/wake button and home button.. I am at a lost and don't know what to do!! Please help!! Thank you

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
You can also turn on Assistive Touch in Settings>General>Accessibility to add those buttons to the iPods screen.

Okay before my ipod power and volume buttons werent working but i never dropped it, then one day i was in a app and my ipod froze so i held the home button down and the screen went a bright green color and isnt showing up in itunes

okay I just recently bought a ipod touch 4thG and im already having issues. recently the power and volume buttons stopped working after i syncd my ipod, i shrugged it off figuring it would come back i could live without it. but today I was on my ipod while it was charging and the screen just froze so i pressed and held the home button (being that's the only button that actually works) then the screen turned this bright yellowish lime green color and its not responding to ANYTHING! my computer isnt even reading it when i plug it up into itunes! so what should i do? can anyone help me? i feel like i just wasted $200...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My IPad screen is grey even after I tried pressing the sleep and home button for reboot but turns out it stays grey.

My IPad screen is grey even after I tried pressing the sleep and home button for reboot but turns out it stays grey.

You can try to reboot a few more times. If it doesn't come back and you normally sync to a computer, hook it up and see if the 'guts' are working even if the screen isn't.
Beyond that you should make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using. Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't. It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years! Please help!

When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

My ipad will not let me slide to log in, or power off. i have tried to hold down the sleep and home button at the same time, but that did not work. Do you have any tips for me? Thanks

How long did you let it charge? It may take 30 minutes before the iPad responds when the battery is completely drained. Let it charge for at least 30 minute using the wall charger. Then rest the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%.
If the iPad still does not start make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Try to restore "as new ipod" without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing your problem. How to back up your data and set up as a new device

Sleep and volume buttons broken, but there's another problem.
