Sleep/lock button wont work on ipod touch 2g. what can i do??

Try to connect in recovery mode and set it up again "as new ipod" : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If this does not work, your sleep button might be damaged and you'll have to get it serviced.
Setting up as new device and backing up the data before is also covered here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137

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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
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
iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)

Within the warranty period, unless the failure was caused by accidental damage it will be replaced for free.

Unless somebody else has a micracle workaround I don't know. Probably get the phone in for repair since it has been living on borrowed time so far and now you absolutely must have a working button.

IPod lock button wont work. any alternatives

So long story short. dropped it in water waited for two months, works fine now but the top button to lock it wont work.. any ideas?

Could be that there is corrosion of the contacts that is preventing making contact. This place does not specifically list that repair.

You could try it yourself. Here are the instruction for a 2G iPod:

IPhone 3G S sleep/lock button not working

ok it doesnt redspond to anything. ive tried all kinds of restarts and restores and nothing works. i am getting a replacement from my retail store but i'm wondering if there is anything i can do to fix it.

Hi Aliassa, I'm having the same problem: no response from my sleep/lock button on my 3G.
I went to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and they use a little lighted eye scope (like what an ear doctor would use) to look into the headphone port. If the ring down in there is pink (I believe), then they tell you that your iPhone has gotten wet before and then they refuse to help you any further.
This is frustrating as I know why my port's wetness indicator was pink: because I had to clean my headphone port with a touch of windex and a q-tip when my iPhone stopped recognizing that I had unplugged my headphones due to fuzz and crud buildup.
So by fixing that problem, I "voided" whatever help the Apple Store may have given me.
All together that blowz.
I wish I could get normal phone insurance on the iPhone. As far as I know I can't and I'll need to wait till December to get the new iPhone that's subsidized.
Really annoying since, there's no way to reset my phone now other than letting the battery wind down. Also, 'buttons' get hit when I can't wait the minimum of a minute for it to go to the lock screen automatically when I put it in my pocket.
My next step is to try to repair it myself by opening it up and cleaning or replacing the button.
Wish me luck!
If it works I'll post back here.
Good luck to you too.

Lock button not working + still have warranty. What do I have to do?

Hello!
Yesterday my lock button stopped working. I still have my warranty but the problem is I live in Belgium and there is no Apple Store there. Is there any way I can get my phone repaired without having to go abroad? I'm now using Assistive Touch but it just doesn't feel the way it should...
Greetings & thanks!

To get any iOS device repaired much be done so in country of where th device was purchased. So if where you live is where you purchased the device then contact Apple Support whcih is given for your area of livinging.
If the iOS device was not purchased where you live, then willl need to figure out how to go about getting to where the iOS device was purchased to get repair done for it.

My ipod touch 4g lock button wont work?

How do i fix my lock button?

Try the remaining items of:
- 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 another cable
- 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.

ICarplay 200 FM transmitter wont work with ipod touch

hi
Can anyone tell me if apple is going to try and release support software to fix this issue or are they going to launch a new product line. The FM stations used to appear on the screen in the old ipods. With the touch, all i get is a message saying that an accessory has been attached (no information on what fm station so I cant switch between stations).

I too have an FM Transmitter that worked with my iPod Video. With my iPod Video I got a screen that displayed the FM Frequency. I get the same message saying that an Accessory is attached with no other information. It worked initially b/c I had it tooned to my car stereo using my iPod Video (which I have sold). I screwed up though and I admit it. I accidentally pressed the tune station button and now cannot find the *#@! station on the iPod Touch.
Apple Help!!!

Does the the computer connect to the internet?
If yes
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network

I bought it from littlewoods, is that a problem? I got it less than a year ago. Is there still a warranty on it even though its from there?
Nokia phones bought in the UK and the Rest of Europe comes with a 24 month warranty. So I believe that your phone is still within the warranty period. You can send it back to Littlewoods, but I do advise sending it to a Nokia Care Point for a speedier process.

5.0.1 - usb charger wont work on ipod touch

After installing OS 5.0.1, my usb chargers (not apple's ones) aren't accepted any more by the ipod sitting in the dock. Is that normal? Will the problem dissapear when using the original apple usb charger?
Markus

No, it will not. It must be the version specifically for the iPod Touch. On top of that you must have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch in order to even install iOS 5 onto it.
