Sleep button and volume buttons not working

Just got an Ipod Touch(4th Generation) for Christmas. It seemed to have been working fine, Untill the sleep button and the volume buttons stopped working. They came back on after and hour or so, And several times in the past few days this has happened. Yesterday though, They cut off again and haven't worked at all since. Anyone know how I could fix this without sending it in to Apple? Any answers are strongly appreciated

Sounds like a short; however, you can try restoring and updating from within iTunes.

  • Power button and volume rocker not working

    I have bought new Microsoft Lumia 535 yesterday night. There was an update available when I brought it Home. I left it alone for half an hour for update to complete. When I returned it was blank, even if I try to switch it on it did not respond. I took the privilege of plunging it to charger and resetting it and still the result is same. By the way the volume rocker is also not responding. Please help me out. Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    Not clear if the phone is switching ON or not .. 
    Try the Lumia Software Recovery Tool ..

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.

    Place the iOS device in recovery mode using this program

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My on/off button and volume buttons stopped working.

    For no apparent reason, the on/off button and volume buttons stopped working. iPod touch 4th gen with 4.3.3 installed.

    You can try a couple of things.
    First a hard reboot: hold the sleep/wake and home button down until the unit shuts off and boots back up to the Apple screen.
    Second restore the device py plugging it into iTunes and under the device summary screen click restore. You want to restore from backup to make sure all your info is synced back to the iPod at the end. Depending on how much stuff is on there this can take a while.
    Thrid, take it to the Apple Store and have a Genius look at it. Depending you how bussy your local Apple store is you probably want to make a reservation first.

  • All button and touch pad not working except power button

    I face the problems that all button and touch pad not working after power on or wake up from sleep state except power button. And i have make the system sleep and wake again so that the mac book air can working as normal( mouse can move and button got response).

    Sometimes electrical components needs to have all power sources removed and reintroduced to work properly.  Try performing a hard reset first, if it doesn't work then we'll move to the next step.
    To Perform A Hard Reset
    Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for  5 seconds); (if the computer doesn't power on, move to the next step)
    Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
    Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook.  There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
    Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
    Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.

  • Shut off button and volume button wont work on ipod touch. How do I fix this?

    The on/off button and volume button won't work on my ipod touch!

    You can 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.

    If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price.
    Or you can turn on the Assistive Touch Accessibility feature. See chapter 30 of the Users Guide

  • My 32GB 4G itouch's lock button AND volume button won't work.

    I got my 4G 32GB on Christmas and about two weeks later the lock button and volume button just stopped working. My hands weren't even wet. How do I fix it and how can I restart it without the lock button?

    You may need to make a trip to an Apple Store or other authorized place to have it repaired, assuming it's a hardware issue. If it's a software issue, you can try going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will force the iPod to reboot and restore it to factory settings, but you will be able to get your data back from a backup. If it is a hardware issue, then it's time for a trip to the store.

  • Red record button and play arrow not working for videos. Any way to make work again?

    Red record button and play arrow quit working. Any way to fix?

    Try this and see if it works for you. Close the Camera App in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once, then double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the camera app.  Tap the home button again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • The hold button and volume buttons have stopped working on my iTouch 4. How can I fix it?

    I've only had it for about 6 months. It's never been dropped or abused in any way. All of the sudden, the buttons just stopped working. How can I fix it? Please help!!

    The issue with the battery is a problem.  The last battery I purchased was at the end of September, so it is NOT old.  I would think that a battery would last longer than 6 months, considering the original one lasted up until that point.  Granted it would not hold as much of a charge, but it still worked at least.  So, at this point, I would think it would be a problem with the laptop and not the battery.  I have asked a few friends of mine, who are IT professionals and they said that it is probably an issue with the internal power supply.  I've also tried replacing the AC adapter and that did not work either.  As you said, you get what you pay for.  Since I paid a good price for this laptop I would think it would last longer than it has.  The other 2 I have do not have this issue.  The DV5215us is on it's second battery, which is reasonable, and it does not have this charging problem.  The tx1115nr also does not have this problem and is still on its original battery.  One would think that since the earlier generations of product would have more problems than the latter, but I guess that is not the case.
    Like I stated eariler I am rough on my laptops and I should probably look at ones that are built more rigid.

  • IPod Touch 4G Sleep/Power and Volume buttons not working/responding

    I got my iPod touch 4th Generation last Christmas from Japan.
    After 2 days, I updated to iOS 4.2.1.
    The next day the buttons stopped working.
    Everything else works perfectly except for the three buttons on the side.
    I've seen other posts about this issue before.
    Sometimes it works then it doesn't, sometimes it works, then it doesn't.
    It works fine randomly. But most of the time, it isn't working.
    I found a solution where all you have to do is
    disable the auto-lock(set it to "never") and hold the two volume buttons and the sleep/power buttons at the same time but that doesn't work for my iPod.
    I tried resetting (Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings),
    restoring it and even
    draining the battery and turning it on again but to no avail.
    I had to make do with ejecting it from iTunes while holding the sleep button then unplugging it while still holding the sleep button.
    It worked for a while, but not anymore.
    My friend's got the same issue.
    Anyone got any other solution?
