Turning on an ipod 4th G with home button

I have a question. The sleep/lock button on my ipod touch is stuck, and I want to know if I turn off my Ipod will I be able to turn it back on with the home button or another way. I currently use the assistive touch feature to lock the screen. I want to turn off the Ipod to see if that will help speed it up a bit, and because I haven' done it in a while. I don't want to turn it off and not have a way to turn it back on since the lock/sleep button is stuck down.

  • Restore iPod 4th gen, without home button or passcode

    So, recently, my little sister has lost her iPod touch, we just found it and the home button is broken and she doesnt remember the passcod, it has been disabled for a while. Is there anything we could do since we can't bypass the passcode using the home button and power/lock button?

    - Reset the iPod.
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then try again.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Does Sony say it will work with a 4G iPod with iOS 6.0.1? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.
    Do you have the latest firmware on the dock? Go to Sony's website and check.

  • New user   for ipod 4th gen with click wheel

    I hope i'm posting this in the right place. My daughter purchased an ipod 4th generation with click wheel offebay, didn't come with software. So I downloaded I tunes off the net. was told the driver for ipod was included in Itunes? I'm computer illeterate, I appologize for this. I'm not sure, but I think I have 2.0 ports on my laptop, it's about l l/2 years old. windows xp I plugged the ipod into my computer after downloading itunes, and the computer doesn't recognize the ipod, a box comes up and says this.
    " one of usb drivers attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows doens't recognize it.
    I tunes does come up but there is no ipod recognized on itunes it's suppose to come up under devices on the left side of itunes, but nothing comes up. I can import music to my laptop using itunes, cannot put the music onto my ipod.
    I'm completely at a loss here, and really don't know what to do.
    The serialnumber on my ipod is 2CD44617K8 which I got off the back of the ipod.
    I also typed this number in the apple web site and it doesn't recognize the number either.
    I have contacted the ebayer this was bought from and he hasn't returned any emails and doesn't act like he wants to help in any kind of way. I'd like to make sure it's opperator error and not something wrong with the ipod.
    thanks in advance

    This is the wrong forum for your question, this area is for people with the latest iPod nano.
    You need to post in the correct forum and you will probably get more help.
    Are you sure you have bought a 'real' iPod, could it be a fake?
    Does the eBay seller have good positive feedback, it could be that the iPod is actually broken. Does the iPod turn on, can you use the menus, etc. You should be able to operate the iPod without any music.

    Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

  • IPod Touch 5th Generation home button is stuck, support options?

    Hi, I do IT, and when talking to someone in my science class and somehow he brought up the fact that his iPod touch 5th generations home button had become stuck overnight, without cause, it is in a otter box, and has never been dropped, come in contact with water, etc... . I had the exact same problem and luckily when I contacted apple it was the last day of my year long coverage. I checked his serial number and his support has expired, so what are my options? From my research it seems like this issue is not uncommon, and I have read that Apple will replace the defunct unit regardless of the warranty if you bring it to a genius bar, is this true? If it is not, then what would be the price for Apple to repair it, as it is in perfect condition with no scratches, and I would not want to void any future warranty options by replacing the button/screen myself?

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out if Apple will be nice and exchange it for a refurbished iPOd at no cost. Apple dies not repair yur iPOd, they exchange it for a refurbished one. If Apple will not exchange it at no cost, the exchange price is $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs

    By the way, alcohol based hand sanitisers work too.
    Don't overapply it in one go though. You'll have to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
    One final tip, after its dried, I'd recommend you to leave your iPhone's home button facing a laptop's vent just to bake it a little drier.

  • My wife's new iphone4 (a replacement for a 5 month-old iphone 4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device in the house using that computer and Apple ID is. Any suggestions?

    My wife's brand new iphone4 (which was a replacement for a 4month-old iphone4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device on  the computer/Apple ID in question is recognized and syncs perfectly. Any suggestions?

    If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
    You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

    Restore your phone!!!
    You may be wondering by now, iTunes is not detecting my phone, How do I do that?
    Answer:- Just disconnect your phone from the computer. keep Itunes open on the PC. While holding the home button of the iphone plug the phone back in. Itunes will pop a message stating it has detected a phone in recovery mode. just follow the on screen instruction then to restore your phone. If your issue is still not resolved only an Apple technician can help you
