The Lock switch is not working

The button that allows you to toggle between locked and unlocked is not working anymore. It's stuck in the locked position so I can't even reset. Any Suggestions?

well seems like you might have gotten something sticky in it. Just try to force it open.
Unless your talking about not being able to make it unlock, even though the switch can move to that position... I don't know then.

  • The lock switch is not working anymore

    The lock switch on my nano doesn't work anymore, it's really annoying since I can't walk around with it in my pocket without the sound getting turned up or the song switched every time i move. Also, since the lock isn't working I can't turn it off properly. Is it a mechanical problem?
    Thanks

    Are you able to go to an Apple Store? I had an older generation model nano, which the lock switch wasn't working and since it was still under applecare warranty, they replaced the old nano for me. But that is in the USA, so I am not sure how it works in the UK.

  • Unable to unlock rotation, as the rotations switch is not working

    I am unable to unlock the rotation of my ipad 2, the rotation switch on the side above the volume button is not working. However I also cannot allocate the Home button.
    Can anyone assist me.
    Thank u

    Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be 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.

  • The silence switch is not working and apple say a new phone is only option, is this the case for such a minor component

    I have the iPhone 4 and it's working perfectly, I can switch on the do not disturb option but would prefer to have a repair of the mute switch. Apple store advise they don't repair and a new phone is only option!

    That is correct, Apple does not do repairs on parts, they will exchange the whole phone for the service fee:
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.

    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c,

  • Will Apple replace my iPhone 5 for free if the lock button is not working properly?

    My iPhone 5 was bought in March 2013 and broke in January 2014 so I still have a few months left on my one year warranty.
    My lock button did not get stuck or jammed, but all of a sudden it just would not work.  I don't notice anything different about it and it still makes a "click" noise when I press it but, it wont do anything or respond to anything.  Clearly something is wrong with it and I am not sure why.
    I have my assessive touch ON but I would rather use my lock button.
    If I bring it into Apple will they replace it for FREE if my one year warranty isn't over and my lock button just will not respond to me pressing it?
    THANK YOU. PLEASE HELP.

    If Apple determines that it is eligible for coverage under the warranty then they will either replace it or fix it.
    In my experience,, if it is truly just a faulty button, then they will fix it but the tech will make that determination after inspection.

  • Hi i have an iphone 5 the screen in broken the lock button is not working and now the phone wont charge do u think warranty will cover my phone for a replacement or no?

    HI so to be clear
    screen cracked
    lock button isent working
    wont charge
    do you think apple will still cover this under a replacement warrenty?

    Depends how that happened and how long the warranty is still left .....u can replace the screen ...and does the home button work? If so then go to settings> general> accessibility >assistive touch( it has many functions like locking the screen ,screenshotting just by touching the screen
    Hope this helps

  • I can't turn on my iCloud backup on my iPhone 5. The selection switch is not working. My

    I have 3 other devices on the same account and all backup fine. One of those is an iPond 5. A 4th device, iPhone 5, will not let me select the backup. Also, it no longer streams photos to my other devices when WiFi is present. It will do Air-drop fine, and connects to wifi fine. Anyone have any ideas?

    Gail from Maine,
    Thank you so much in your continued efforts to help me out. Much appreciated.
    Here is what I see..
    Can't select the backup =  I go to Settings>iCloud>Backup (shows off).  I select > Backup(off)> and see iCloud Backup grayed out (not selectable).
    I have plenty of storage available: Settings>iCloud>Storage shows 195GB Available
    When I select: Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage>  My iPhone does not show up under the backup list. I use this iPhone with iTunes (if that matters).
    When I select: Settings>iCloud>Photos(On)> iCloud Photo Library (Beta) is selected on and shows "Uploading 1,131 items".  But does not start upload and the message always remains the same.  Tried shutting the Photo Library (Beta) on an off and no change. Also tried it after the reset and sow no difference.
    On that same Settings>iCloud>Photos page there is a selection Upload to My Photo Stream.  Prior to installing iOS 8, pictures I took with my phone would automatically copy over to the photo stream on the other 3 devices on my account when in the presence of WiFi.  The other 3 still do it and are all running iOS 8.  This iPhone stopped doing it after the iOS 8 Update and installation of iCloud. It was working before on iOS 7.
    The only different app that this iPhone has is a WirWatch, which is used to receive pushed e-mails from work onto my computer. This App was there when I was running iOS 7.  Don't know if it could be the reason. But none of the other devises have this feature.
    Thanks,
    Dan R.

  • I cant lock mi iphone 5 because the lock botton is not working what can i do?

    I dont know what to do i need help right now

    Take your phone to an Apple store and they will replace it with one that has a working lock button. You can temporarily set the autolock time to zero and the idle time as low as it will go.

  • Ipad New Generation - power switch on , not working.

    i am playing the games in ipad and idle for  2mins.The screen becomes black, thought it was just an automatic lock but i could not turn it on. It was 50% charged. The power switch is not working. what could be the problem?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

  • Software Update Point Switching is not working for some Clients

    Hi there,
    I found nothing similar here and I hope this is the right section.
    I´m running ConfigMgr 2012 R2 where one of the Site Systems from one of the Primaries is located in an untrusted Forest in a perimeter Network. The Site System there has the MP, SUP and DB Roles. In general it works great. The Systems in that untrusted Forest
    get the SCCM Agent pushed, see and can install published Software packages and receive Windows Updates. But there are a few systems where everything works, except Windows Updates.
    So I had a deeper look at what is happening and found out that the SUP switching is not working for them. They always try to contact the SUP from the Primary, which they cannot reach (this is intended).
    From how I understand SUP switching as described here
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/03/27/software-update-points-in-cm2012sp1.aspx#pi140062=1
    the Windows Update Agent tries to connect to a SUP every 30 minutes and after 4 failed attempts he will try to connect to the next one until he finds one which works.
    As I said before, this seems to work for most systems in the untrusted forest, but some do not make any intentions to switch the SUP.
    So my next step was to find out from where the Update Agent can get the information of the available SUPs. I think they either don´t receive the information that other SUPs exist, or if the Information is there, they don´t realize that there´s an error and
    make no attempt to switch.
    I used the System Center Support Center to gather all Information from some of the systems with that problems (Log Files, WMI information, registry information, policies etc.) but I cannot find where SCCM or the Update Agent store the information which SUPs
    are available in my environment.
    I´m sure the problem is on the Systems which fail to connect to the right SUP and not in the SCCM infrastructure itself, because for most of the systems everything is working just perfect. Unfortunately in the Blog Post above there´s also no information
    where this information is stored and how it is obtained by the clients. In the comments there´s even one post which describes the same problem I have here, but there was no answer. I hope someone can point me into the right direction, because I´m stuck currently.
    Things I tried additionally to all the log file / WMI / registry sniffing:
    Removing the Software Distribution Folder and restarting the Windows Update Agent
    Removing the WindowsUpdate Registry folder in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Windows section in the Registry and restarting the Windows Update Agent.
    Tried to reset the WUAgent with wuauclt /Resetauthorization additionally to the steps above.
    I also tried to manually set the WUServer and WUStatusServer Keys in the registry to the new Server, but as soon as the next Update Scan cycle runs, the value is set back to the URL of the Primary Sites SUP
    Is someone having additional ideas? It seems to me older systems are more affected (which were configured for a standard WSUS before SCCM 2012 was deployed) than newer ones which were installed when SCCM was in place already. But I don´t know what else to
    "reset" on those machines without reinstalling them.

    Thank you very much for your response. I must have missed that one by looking through numerous Logfiles. In this, there´s indeed a list of all available SUPs. So according to the LocationServices.log the machine should have a choice.
    The WMI Key however, contains just one entry and this is the URL of the Primaries SUP which is not reachable in the untrusted forest. Is it OK that the WMI entry includes only one entry? If yes, what process is putting the results from the LocationServices
    into WMI? It seems like the Windows Update Agent is feeded from the WMI Key then. If this is the case my problems seems to be the "communication path" between these two components.
    Is this the job from the SCCM Agent, the Windows Update Agent or maybe some third component I´m not aware of? I wonder how I can fix this.

  • HT1430 How can you restart your iphone if your lock button does not work?

    How can you restart or turn off your iPhone if the lock button does not work?

    The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.
