Sleep/Wake button doesn't work

I just got my iPod touch yesterday, and the Sleep/Wake button worked for a while... but then after syncing the touch to my computer a second time, the sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore. I can't put the iPod in sleep mode, and I can't turn it off either, and I can't do a hard reset (or whatever it's called when you hold both the buttons down). I've reset using iTunes and through the iPod itself, and it isn't solving the problem.
Any ideas?

    How do you turn off your phone if your sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore?

    If a reset doesnt fix it (which it wont - that is likely a hardware issue), then get warranty service.

    You can't. Either get your phone fixed at a third-party repair shop, or go to an Apple store & they will replace your phone for US $199.

    There isn't anything you can do about that except to get the sleep/wake button fixed. It is an integral part of the phone and is used for troubleshooting steps as well. Using a device without one is just waiting for trouble. However, if you want to, you can go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch. Then to lock the phone, tap on the Assistive touch button, tap on Device, then tap on Lock screen.

  • HT1430 My sleep/wake button doesn't work.

    My sleep/wake button doesn't work. I cannot believe that there is no alternate way to reset my ipod? My wifi is not working (it's "greyed out") and one of the restore suggestions involves restarting it.

    Just try :
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • HT201263 Ok so that answers my question how to restore her phone and I realize she will lose all information, which is fine..but what if the sleep/wake button doesn't work?

    So I have the directions to restore her old phone and realize her info will be lost..ok..but how can I restore it if her sleep/wake button is not working?

    You can back up your phone to itunes on the computer before restoring so that data wont be lost. Once the phone if saftely backed up you click on the "iphone" section to find her phone details. There is a button that says "restore". CLick on it and the phone will restore

  • My iPod is frozen and my sleep wake button doesn't work. What do I do?

    My iPod touch is frozen on Facebook and will not allow me to see my home screen. When I connect to my laptop, it doesn't show up in Itunes. I've never had this problem before. Also, my sleep/wake button (not the middle one) is apparently stuck. What do I need to do?

    - You can try letting the battery fully drain and then charge for atleast an hour and see if it works then. Restore via iTunes if necessary.
    - You can also see if this program will get the iPod in Recovery Mode so you can restore it.

  • HT1430 The sleep/wake button doesn't work. It presses in so it isn't stuck but it doesn't shut the iPad down.

    Try reset iPad

  • My sleep/wake button doesn't work well

    Hi!
    I started to have problems with my sleep/wake button this morning. I verified and my phone is eligible to change the button. will it takes many days if I bring it to the apple store?

    No one here would know.  It depends on a lot of factors.  They may have a loaner available, though.  Be advised, if the cause of the issue is physical damage, or if there is some form of physical damage to the device, they may require you to pay for the repair itself, even though the Sleep/Wake button would have been free.

  • Sleep/wake button doesn't work: remplacement

    Hi everyone ! Since a week, the button is only working when I pull it on the left side. Since yesterday, the button works totally randomly...
    Tomorrow, Apple Assistance Service will call me to find a way to solve this. I wonder if I'll have to send my iPhone for having it repared or if it will be remplaced (by processing with UPS). If I choose the second option, my iPhone 5 will be remplaced by a new one or a reconditionned one ?
    Thank you guys !

    Yes i've tried to put it in sleep and i've held it for about 30 seconds and still nothing. The worse thing is that it froze about 2.5 hours ago and it still is frozen.Usually it would have reset itself but it didnt, so i'm going to wait until the battery drains(to turn itself off).

  • IPod Touch Sleep/Wake Button doesn't work

    I have an earlier model 8gb touch and the power button hasn't been working for a long time. It worked for a while after purchase but now has no functionality and won't turn off or sleep. I've installed all the provided firmware updates and mostly only listen to music on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    The buttons should have as soft click when pushed. If you do not feel the click, try giggling and pushing the button to see if you can free it up. It's mechanical button, if you get something like pop in and around the button, it can freeze up.
