The menu button will not work and I cannot turn the ipod off using the top button either. What do I do?

What can I do to fix this?

Try:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
- If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch
- If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
- There are third-party places like the following that will repair the Home button. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Also try restoring the iPod via iTunes. If it is necessary to place the iPod in recovery mode to restore use this program.

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    my button does not work is that to turn my ipod works and my ipod is block is an apple with a loading baarre how do i restore it ? please help me

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Where it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program vice the iPod's buttons

    - 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 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.

  • HT5706 After the update the Apple TV will not work -  It puts up a symbol to connect to the Icloud - which I do not have the cable for or know what it means or why -  Message do not update if it works

    After the update to the Apple TV, it will not work -  It puts up a symbol to connect to the Icloud - which I do not have the cable for or know what it means or why - 
    Message to users is, do not update if it works.  This product apparently was not tested very well

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
    If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
    Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
    Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (3rd generation)
    Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted.

  • A button is not working and I cannot sign in????

    Hi All. I had to purchase a new unit through work as my A button would not work anymore.
    I was able to recoup all of my contacts, memos, tasks, calendar, etc from my last sync but my passwords folder did not sync and therefore is still locked in my curve.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can sign in without a functional a button when I have A's in my sign in password.
    The button does not appear to be stuck or depressed permenantly.
    Thank you for everyones help with this as I will never recover these without getting to see them again.
    Stephen

    Hey StephenSutton,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Did you perform a full backup of all the data in the BlackBerry® Curve™?  If you did, you can just restore the full backup and it will include the password keeper information.
    To create a backup, go to Device>Backup in BlackBerry® Desktop Software.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • My Ipod will not charge and I cannot turn it on

    My ipod will not charge was working fine yesterday. I have connected it to itunes it up dates the softwre but once it has finished the unit turns itsekf off and will not charge.

    Plug it into the charger that came with the device and plug that into a known good wall outlet. If the battery is completely drained it may take an hour or more before the device shows some signs of life.

  • There is no longer a "close tab" under the file menu, so how do I go back to a previous page when the back button will not work?

    Often the back button will not work. I can find no "close tab" under the menus, which I think used to be there, and which is used with Internet Explorer to go to the previous page. How can I go back to the previous page with Firefox when the back button will not work?

    No you can't. Apple don't support downgrading of iOS.

  • HT1695 Slide button will not work to turn on the wifi?

    I cannot connect to wifi which I need to back up my phone as the slide button will not work on this setting only

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

  • TS1424 When I click to play my songs in the library they will not play and show a circle with an exclamation point in the middle of it, what does that mean and how can I get them to play?

    When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

    It doesn't sound like the Exchange environment is configured in a manner to support these types of clients very well.  Have your Exchange team look at the following
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/10/18/supporting-windows-mail-8-1-in-your-organization.aspx
    From the latter article: "Communications applications can connect to a corporate Exchange service
    configured to require certificate-based authentication. User authentication certificates can be provisioned to Windows 8.1 devices by administrators or end-users can browse to certificate and install to user certificate storage."
    You might want to:
    Ask your Exchange team the public URLs (ExternalURL) for Exchange OWA & ActiveSync
    Open the OWA URL in your Internet Explorer from your Surface
    If you get a Certificate warning, open the certificate and select Install (NOTE: You may have to install the entire certificate chain).  Your desktop support team should be able to support this because it is the SAME process for standard Windows 8x
    desktops.
    Confirm that you can open OWA on your surface with no more certificate or security warnings.  NOTE: The Exchange team will have to configured OWA properly.
    Once confirmed, repeat the same steps for the activesync URL that they provided.
    When done, try using the OWA OR ActiveSync URL value in your settings of your Mail client.
    Good Luck
