The button is stuck.
Hello,
I am facing a problem.
My Ipod's button is stuck (the button that light the screen) and I can't press it now, what to do?
if it the same issue people are having in the links then go to your apple store or contact the helpline to organise a replacement,

Do you have a case on the iPhone? It could be interfering with the button operation.
If that isn't it, you'll have to setup service. -
Hey guys, i am having a little problem with my iphone 5 running on ios 7.1.1. My screen keeps locking and unlocking by itself and sometimes even prompts to power off. It makes it look like the power button is stuck but its not, this started after the phone hitting the floor some days ago. Kindly help me resolve this problem
Probably a hardware problem due to the fall. To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:

I have the iPod nano 6th generation, and I have had it since Christmas 2011 so it isn't that old; recently I went to listen to my music and found that the volume increase button is stuck (basically it's like when you press the volume button down to increase the volume, except it is stuck down like that and won't come back up) but it was only stuck about 3/4 of the way down. For about a week this was ok, I just had to press the button harder to make it go down and increase the volume, but now it won't increase the volume at all and it feels and looks as though the button is stuck the whole way in, even when I press the button with some force. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could fix it or if I need to take it to an apple store for them to fix it?!
Sorry if the way I have explained the problem is confusing, it's difficult to explain but it's extremely frustrating.This happened to me a few weeks ago. Instead of taking it to the Apple store and paying $ the 99 service charge ( I did give Apple 139.00 13 months ago! for this ipod), I saturated the end of a q-tip w/ WD 40 and carfefully rubbed around the perimeter of the power button. I waited a half hour and then cleaned of the excess WD 40. This unstuck my power button. I guess the WD 40 dissovled all the dirt under and around (also the consrtuction of the buttons is done w/ double sided tape-- maybe a design issue) the button. A friend tried isopropyl alcohol w/ great results. Try this before you give Appple any more $$ or get a new ipod. It's been 6 wks. and my button functions perfectly,

My on and off button got stuck is there any way to fix it?
I have a Ipod Nano 6th Gen and i was just laying down listening to music when i tried to shuffle it by double clicking and the button got stuck. I just want to know if there is anyway to get it unstuck or will i have to get another one.
I had the same problem with my iPod touch 4th gen.
1. Reset
You can hold the on/off button and the home button at the same time. Don't release until the screen goes black and the apple logo appears. After doing this it should restart your iPod completely.
But depending on the screen problem, this may or may not work.
If the first solution doesn't work, then try this:
2. Restore
You can restore it to factory settings if you sync it with your computer.
If you can do this (sync with your iMac) then when you plug it in, go onto iTunes, and when it reconnizes your device it should have a section on the sidebar that says "iPod touch". Click on that, then click "restore iPod". It may confirm it and you will probably have to enter your Apple ID.
***Beware that with this method, all the data on your iPod will be lost***
If this does not work, and your device is now restored, don't worry, you can get the data back and your iPod will be as normal.
I hope this helps, sorry for any spelling errors, I'm only 13
Happy New Year, and hopefull you can get your iPod fixed!! -
The power button on my 6th gen power button stuck. I found out that this is a VERY weak design and has happened to numerous others, some on replacements they've received under their warranty. It's my understanding it's used on the Gen 7 devices as well. Mine is not that old and was not heavily used. I took very good care of it and it has no exterior damage at all. The button just stuck one day. I picked it up and the the button was stuck in the down position. The device will not operate unless plugged into a power supply, which is DEFINITELY not convenient.
I took it to the Apple Store and they were totally uninterested in it, other than i could pay to get it fixed or get some kind of credit for the purchase of another. Personally, with the margins Apple charges for their devices, it's taking borderliine criminal advantage of customers. If it cost 29.95 and it was a year old that's one thing, but these are expensive devices that one should expect to stand up to light use. I'm disappointed in Apple and i'm outta here, as far as every buying another device.
My advice is to steer clear of Apple until they respect their customers a little more.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?Apple will most likely exchange it. The one you receive will be refurbished.

My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck. Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad? Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

No the battery is non removable.
Try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons... -
iPod is stuck in recovery mode, and not recognized by iTunes.
Tried all of the recommended resets and combinations mentioned, but the ipod is still not recognized. Genius at apple said it may be a hardware error, "The button is broke" but all of the buttons and cords work and i proved it to him. He then said he doesnt know, ma Now what?If it does not work on other computers then I agree with the Genius

The lock button is stuck dont and wont come back up. i can still lock the iphone 4 but it requires alot of force and i am afraid of breaking it. i have only had this phone for about 4 months and have had a case on it since day one. Someone please help!!
If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, you can use virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Assessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even be used to turn OFF iPhone, by holding down on it. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

My lock button is stuck and when I push it it won't lock. Should I bring it to the apple store?
Yeah so my lock button is stuck inside the iPod and I can't get it out. It doesn't lock my iPod but if I try to push it nothing happens. Should I bring it to the apple store by my house??
You can't backup the iPod then.
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and restore via iTunes:

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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 most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If data is not in the backup then:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

I tried following the directions that I received about restoring my iPod touch. But there is one flaw. My power button is stuck and I am unable to turn it off. How can I go about either getting it fixed or restoring my iPod?
Easy, first make sure that the itunes on your computer is up to date. Next connect the ipod to your computer. If you have itunes 11.0 or above, wait until the device appears in the upper right hand side of the screen, or you can press ctrl-s, and the side menu will appear, and you can see more clearly the ipod appearing under the device category. Next simply click on the ipod and on the summary screen, you should see restore. Press restore, and you will see a dialog box asking to back-up & restore, restore only, or cancel. If you have information to save, press back-up & restore, if you want to wipe the device clean and start over, press restore. Once it's all done, you should be good.
If your ipod is less than a year old and not a refurbished device, contact Apple at 800-676-2775 for assistance on repair and replace. If you are near an Apple Store, go to http://www.apple.com/retail/ and find your local Apple Store and set-up a genius appointment and go in and have your device repaired or replaced.If your ipod is a refurbished device, it has to be 90 days old or less to be repaired or replaced for free.I hope this helps. -
