The sleep and home button on my iPod touch 4th gen have stopped working.

Its been past a year since ive had it but i bought warranty from walmart and I was wondering if walmart would fix it? or should i go to the apple store and ask them?

If you have a Walmart warranty and did not purhase the extended AppleCare warranty fvia Walmart, then go back to Walmart.
If AppleCare, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. 
- If out of warranty, yu can also go to the Apple store. It is free for Apple to look at it.
Have you tried restoring your iPod? Maybe you just have a software problem?

  • The home button on my iPod Touch 4th Gen. is not responding, any ideas?

    The title kinda says it all, I have a iPod Touch 4th Gen., that I have had for almost 2 years. And it has worked wonderfully, up until a few day ago, when I noticed that the home button was getting harder and harder to push on. and then earlier today it just stopped working all together. To exit out of an app, I had to stut off the iPod and restart it again.
    I have considered sending it to Apple, but at, $105 (estimated) I was wondering if there was any other ways to fix the problem. And I'm not even sure if it's a problem with the hardware, or the software.
    Thanks!

    i have charged it for a while nothing happened. Tried the sleep and home buttons, still nothing.

    Try restarting instead of resetting...
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • The home button on my ipod touch 4th genereation is jammed and i cant press it. What should i do?

    The home button on my ipod touch 4th generation, that i have had for a year now, is jammed. When i go to click it to go to the home screen it doesnt push in. I am not sure how it happened because one moment i pressed it and it was fine and the next it somehow got jammed. I dont know whether i should just buy a new one or if i should send it in for repairs. The thing is that i dont want to send it in for repair and get it back to have the same thing keep happening to me. It has been starting to get slow and close out of apps randomly also. What should i do?

    have you tried charging the device ?
    if so and it still does not work you can try a Forced Recovery..
    by holding the HOME button down and plugging it into your computer at the same time..

  • My IPad screen is grey even after I tried pressing the sleep and home button for reboot but turns out it stays grey.

    My IPad screen is grey even after I tried pressing the sleep and home button for reboot but turns out it stays grey.

    You can try to reboot a few more times. If it doesn't come back and you normally sync to a computer, hook it up and see if the 'guts' are working even if the screen isn't.
    Beyond that you should make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

  • My phone wont turn on ive tried holding the sleep and home button and nothing happened help?

    i turned my phone off and it wont turn on ive tried holding the sleep and home button and nothing happened...i plugged it in to my computer and i didnt connect to itunes help

    The two first choices are to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, that can take up to half a minute.  If that does not work, then more drastic is to restore using the recovery mode to connect to a computer running iTunes, described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and summarized as:

  • My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...

    My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using.  Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't.  It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years!  Please help!

    When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...
