The sleep button on my 4G iPod Touch is stuck?  Any other option besides the genius bar?

I have a 4th generation iPod Touch.  Everything with my iPod was working well till about a week ago.  A week ago I went to use my sleep button and discovered it wasnt working.  When I removed my case I discovered the sleep button was stuck pressed into the iPod. 
What I was wondering is if I had any other options?  Is it my best bet to run to the Genius Bar before my warranty goes out in a few weeks?

I resolved my 3194 error by deleting all the references to apple out of the hosts file.  I am still having major troubles but I was able to resolve this specific error.

  • Can I buy the Ipod nano Red in any other stores besides the apple retail store?

    Can I buy the Apple Ipod Nano RED in any other retail store other than the apple store? I want to get one today but I don't want to go to the mall to get it. Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Apple only sells the iPod nano (RED) Edition at Apple Retail Stores and the Apple Online Stores, not at any other shop. However, if you want, you can search one on a different site in the Internet, but you won't find it on a different shop than an Apple Retail Store

  • (I-Pad) I have rent a v film and received a message that the movie will expire in two days but can't close the message window anymore, hence I have no access to any other program on the I-Pad anymore

    I have rent a film and received a message from I-tunes that the film will expire in two days. Even though I have confirmed the message by pressing ok the message window is not closing anymore, hence can't use anz other program of the I-Pad 2 anymore. Does anzbody in the forum experienced anything similar? If yes what is the solution to it?

    Quit all apps and restart the iPad. Then try the video in the video app.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If by some chance you cannot go to the home screen, force quit iTunes by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then press and hold down on the home button until iTunes closes. Then restart the iPad as described above.

  • I just purchased a secondhand iPad in carboot and I didn't realised that the old account is still linked to the device now can't  activate my accnt.i don't know where  and how to contact the original owner.what should I do?is there any other option?

    I just purchased a second hand iPad in carboot.i didn't realised that the old accnt is still linked to the device,now I icant activate my account .I don't  know where and how to contact the original owner.what should I do activate my accnt?is there any other option?

    Apple cannot help you locate the original owner. If you have no way to contact him/her, and you purchased directly from the seller rather than through a site that offers buyer protection, then the iPad is useless to you and you have wasted your money. The iPad is quite probably stolen and you should turn it in to the police.
    This is why it's very risky and usually unwise to purchase out of a car boot from someone you don't know.

  • My Airport Extreme basestation used to work but upon returning from holdidays it no longer allows me to connect wirelessly through it to the internet on my iPhone, iPads, ipod touches  and my apple tv2 cannot access the network either.  Wired still works

    When I returned from holidays I could not access the internet wirelessly through my Airport Extreme (5th gen) from my iPhone, iPod touches, ipads and my AppleTV 2 no longer can access the internet or the network either.  I can get access to the internet on my iMac when wired directly into an ethernet port on the Airport Extreme.  I have tried resetting my AirPort and created new networks but still doesn't want to co-operate.  If I get wireless internet it is very, very slow and incosistent.
    Any suggestions?
    Rick

        I see now that long questions are not going to be read and answered.  Understandable.  Since writing this I got help on one aspect of question and now have Airport Extreme visible through Airport Utility and it seems to work.   However the wireless printer still does print. On the printer's screen, it recognizes my wireless network and connects. When I try to print from the MacBook, the usual printer icon comes up, but with Printer is Offline.  Printer is Not Connected.  So far, nothing in Apple or Brother help has given me answer to this problem.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • My new ipod touch is stuck on a screen with the itunes logo, a picture of the charger and an arrow between the two.

    My new ipod touch has become stuck.  The screen has an image of the itunes logo near the top an arrow pointing up just below that, and an image of the charger at the bottom.  I don't know what this means.  I've tried charging it, and turning it off and on, but it comes back to this screen every time.  Anyone else experience this and know how to fix it?  Thanks!

    plug your ipod into itunes...it may not do anything plugging it into your own itunes so you may want to try plugging it into someone elses to save the trouble. I had this same problem last week plugged it into my dads ipod and it worked (:

  • Hey Apple (: Just wondering if i block the facebook and twitter on my ipod touch with a password will is effect the password on the app store ?

    Hey Apple (: Just wondering if i block my facebook and twitter on my ipod with a password does this password effect the app store password or can they be different ?

    I did not blocked it . My mum did she got the people from the store to do it but i'm just worried that the password she use to block those sites might effect the password for my appstore. So you're saying that it won't effect and that i can use a different password ?

  • Ipod Touch 3G stuck on apple logo with a loading bar

    I tried to factory reset my Ipod and it's stuck on the apple logo with a loading bar.The bar loads,but once it loaded it loads again and again.Is it normal?If it's not please help me to turn it off.I tried the sleep+wake button but it still does the same thing.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 another cable                                                       
    - 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.

  • Any other option besides restore? ipod software not recognized.....

    I have an 80gb 5th gen. Using it with my Windows XP it was fine. I recently got a Windows Vista HP laptop and it worked fine until today, when I plugged it in and transfered music, iTunes froze midway. So I unplugged the iPod and iTunes closed. I plugged it in again and the blue screen came up saying there was a memory dump needed and it restarted the PC.
    Additionally to crashing my PC, it messed up my iPod software so now I cannot listen to music or videos. The files are still on the iPod when I check through disk mode, but when I use the iPod itself no songs or movies show up. Some of the songs on the iPod when viewed through disk mode are also unrecognized when played through windows media player, a few are fine however but still do not show up on the iPod.
    The files are still there when you use disk mode, but when you use the iPod no files show up. When I plug in my iPod to iTunes it says the iPod files are not readable by iTunes and that I must restore my iPod to company settings. Is there any way I can repair my iPod without having to restore it and erase all my music/videos, I have 74GB of media and some things are not on my computer anymore. Is it possible to restore the iPod to an earlier savepoint? I do not know if the iTunes program automatically creates backup points but if there is a way please let me know. I am very very reluctant to restore my iPod to company settings so help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

    I have exactly the same problem i use a 60 GB video ipod which shows that i tunes cant play content from the ipod when i connect it to any computer after connecting to the HP laptop that had vista on it. so please if someone knows how to fix it without loosing the media from the ipod tell me how to do it! i got 6500 songs on there!

  • Any other choices besides the portrait Album View or landscape Coverflow?

    Is there a way to get the iPhone to display the Artist and song in something other than the 6 point font used to display the Artist/Song Title/Album while in the iPhone is in portrait orientation? It is hard to read with the gray and white fonts and nearly impossible to read in the car due to the small font size. The Coverflow display in landscape is fairly useless with the small font, the inability to display the correct artist information for compilations, and the fact that it does not always show the song that is currently playing?

  • Selecting sports alerts from any other phone # besides the primary

    Recently with the MLB postseason underway, my father had selected to receive some score alerts sent directly to his phone. I thought it was a great idea and asked if I could as well, seeing as I'm under his plan. We tried for almost 30 minutes and we could not do it. Anytime we were on my profile it automatically redirected to his number. I'm wondering if anyone may know a way to help us out. I would greatly appreciate it. Please and thank you.
     - Greyson

    Each line on a family plan can have its own MyVerizon account with a separate login and password.  You should set up a separate login for your number and then you can add the desired sports alerts and other media features from that login.

  • Ipod Touch 1st Gen not starting up past the apple logo

    When I start it up i see the apple logo for about 15sec then it turns off. I've tried putting it into safe mode by holding the Power and Home button for 30sec but all it does is turn on and off twice then nothing happens.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hi,
    Would you please share you solution as I'm facing the same with my 1st Gen iPod Touch.
    PS: iTunes does not detect the iPod either.
    Thanks.
