Two buttons on my i-pod mini aren't working!

the two buttons that aren't working are the menu and the play button. when pressed, the menu won't do anything and when the play button is held down it won't shut the mini off.
one reason could be that i was fiddling around with it a bit while my hands were wet! could it be possible that it got water damage?
this just happened a few minutes ago! help greatly appreciated! thank you in advanced!

Have you tried The Five Rs?

    My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work. As long as I have this screen situation, I cann't do anything on my I Pad. Please help !!

    I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
    I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
    I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off?

  • I have a white screen on my ipod.  i have tried pushing the two buttons at same time but it doesn't work. i tried restoring on itunes but can't because of the password on ipod

    My ipod 4th gen. has a white screen.  i have tried pushing the two buttons but it didn't work.    I have tried to restore on i tunes but because there is a pass code on the ipot, it won't let me.  Any ideas?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Two button with single function

    I want to create two buttons for single function and one button for one function. For example, I click button1, the screen will show "clicked1"
    If I clicked button2, the screen will show "clicked2". If I click button1 and then click button2, it will show "two button are clicked". However, it does not work in two button with single function. What is the problem? Here is the code.
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    var button1:MovieClip=new Button1();
    button1.x=200;
    button1.y=200;
    addChild(button1);
    var button2:MovieClip=new Button2();
    button2.x=300;
    button2.y=250;
    addChild(button2);
    button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
    button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2);
    var isClicked:Boolean;
    var isClicked1:Boolean;
    function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{
              isClicked=true;
              trace("clicked1");
    function onClick2(evt:MouseEvent):void{
              isClicked1=true;
              trace("clicked2");
    if (isClicked&&isClicked1){
              trace("two buttons are clicked");

    It works but I want the screen only shows the "isClicked" only when I click button1. But now when I click button1, "isClicked" and "two buttons are clicked" show at the same time.
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    var button1:MovieClip=new Button1();
    button1.x=200;
    button1.y=200;
    addChild(button1);
    var button2:MovieClip=new Button2();
    button2.x=300;
    button2.y=250;
    addChild(button2);
    var isClicked:Boolean;
    var isClicked1:Boolean;
    button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
    button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2);
    button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick3);
    button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick3);
    function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{
              isClicked=true;
              trace("clicked1");
    function onClick2(evt:MouseEvent):void{
              isClicked1=true;
              trace("clicked2");
    function onClick3(evt:MouseEvent):void{
              trace("two buttons are clicked");

  • TS3474 my i pod is still on a white screen after restoring with the two buttons and also restoring on i tunes and it still has a white screen

    my i pod is still on a white screen after restoring with the two buttons and also restoring on i tunes and it still has a white screen

    I've been struggling with mine all morning with the same issue.
    Mine would not wake up from sleep (will just white screen).
    It will boot using a hard reset (i.e. the power button and volume down button being held down for 8 or so secs). I restored and synced it multiple times but it still has a problem waking up and just just goes to white screen.
    I saw a post suggesting a loose connection which I had my doubts about (as it will wake with hard reset) - bit BINGO! If I wake mine (with index finger) whilst applying pressure to the top of the screen area (with my thumbs) it will wake up. When I become frustrated enough I'll take it apart and see if something has become loose.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to move node in treeView using two buttons ?

    Hello ,
    Am starter , and am working on a Winforms application.
    I browse an XML file , then I populate treeview in my interface. I want to move selected node in the two sens ( up and down)  using two button ( so not with events , normal drag and drop with mouse ) .
    - I select the nod 
    - I click on the up button , then the node take the new place ( something like , drop and insert maybe )
    I don't know if is possible to affect this events to button or they are another way to do this 
    this is my code concerning populating treeView :
    private void browseSourceFileBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    var openSourceFile = openSourceFileDialog.ShowDialog();
    if (openSourceFile == DialogResult.OK)
    fichierSourcePath.Text = openSourceFileDialog.FileName;
    // Connect the XML FILE DATABASE to the application interface
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    if (openSourceFileDialog.FileName == String.Empty)
    MessageBox.Show("u should open a file", "Erreur de chargement", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
    else
    try
    MessageBox.Show("plz wait ");
    statusLabel.Text = "Début de chargement du fichier";
    var doc = new XmlDocument();
    doc.Load(openSourceFileDialog.FileName);
    sourceTreeView.Nodes.Clear();
    var rootNode = new TreeNode(doc.DocumentElement.Name);
    sourceTreeView.Nodes.Add(rootNode);
    sourceTreeView.CheckBoxes = true;
    sourceTreeView.AllowDrop = true;
    DateTime starteTime = DateTime.Now;
    BuildNode(doc.DocumentElement, rootNode);
    DateTime endTime = DateTime.Now;
    TimeSpan duree = endTime - starteTime;
    sourceTreeView.ExpandAll();
    sourceTreeView.Nodes[0].EnsureVisible();
    string chargementTemps = "" + duree.Minutes + "min : " + duree.Seconds + "s : " + duree.Milliseconds + "ms";
    statusLabel.Text = "Chargement effectué avec succés en :" + chargementTemps;
    catch (Exception)
    sourceTreeView.Nodes.Clear();
    statusLabel.Text = "Echec de chargement";
    thanks u a lot 

    Hi Nico68er,
    According to your description, you'd like to move up or down the node in TreeView.
    By reseraching, I found this post in StackOverFlow is similar with your issue.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2203975/move-node-in-tree-up-or-down
    From this answer.
    You can use the following extensions
    public static class Extensions
    public static void MoveUp(this TreeNode node)
    TreeNode parent = node.Parent;
    TreeView view = node.TreeView;
    if (parent != null)
    int index = parent.Nodes.IndexOf(node);
    if (index > 0)
    parent.Nodes.RemoveAt(index);
    parent.Nodes.Insert(index - 1, node);
    else if (node.TreeView.Nodes.Contains(node)) //root node
    int index = view.Nodes.IndexOf(node);
    if (index > 0)
    view.Nodes.RemoveAt(index);
    view.Nodes.Insert(index - 1, node);
    public static void MoveDown(this TreeNode node)
    TreeNode parent = node.Parent;
    TreeView view = node.TreeView;
    if (parent != null)
    int index = parent.Nodes.IndexOf(node);
    if (index < parent.Nodes.Count -1)
    parent.Nodes.RemoveAt(index);
    parent.Nodes.Insert(index + 1, node);
    else if (view != null && view.Nodes.Contains(node)) //root node
    int index = view.Nodes.IndexOf(node);
    if (index < view.Nodes.Count - 1)
    view.Nodes.RemoveAt(index);
    view.Nodes.Insert(index + 1, node);
    Child nodes will follow their parents.
    You could use this class in your program.
    If you want to move the node up. Call the Extensions.MoveUp(this.treeView1.SelectNode)
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
                if (this.treeView1.SelectedNode != null)
                    Extensions.MoveUp(this.treeView1.SelectedNode);
    If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

My handset has following issue: sudden leave off work two button like key (menu) opposite main key menu and locate nearly red button (for interrupt calling or cancel other activities). I always very cary use my handset and never droped and wet it and also i did every actions such as hard reset and other and those actions didn't carry me success. For me this situation isn't critical because i can replace those button's functions and i don't hurry to carry point but it is unpleasent situation. By the way in addition file which i am attached you can see when buttons aren't working now.  Anybody can help me with my problem ?

    What you have written is unclear but from what you've said I would say that the phone has suffered a hardware failure.
    We cannot help you repair that here so the care point is an "unpleasant situation" that you will have to deal with.

  • I-pod mini back from repair

    Just got it back from second repair - battery faulty this time - click wheel first time - wont' charge , wont even come on!
    "How crap is that?" (as my daughter said, its her machine - I have more sense than to own one!!)
    Does anybody have any ideas short of getting it an early visit to meet its maker via a large sledgehammer!
    i-pod mini    

    Does the iPod do anything at all, or is the screen blank, no matter what you do?
    Have you tried doing a quick reset? This can be done by holding down the Select and Menu buttons together for about 5 seconds.
    See this Apple Support document for full reset instructions.
    Also, try doing a reset with and without the iPod plugged into a power source if one method doesn't work.

  • I pod mini 4Gb only holding about 160 songs?

    I just got my 4GB I Pod Mini. I downloaded 84 songs and I used up 2.33GB. That doesn't make sense. It says it should hold up to 1000 songs. This is very upsetting my parents spent a lot of $ for only a few hundred songs? Please help!! There is nothing on my I Pod but 84 songs. Thanks for your time

    Paula,
    That file size is massive. Follow this post I gave to someone in a similar situation:
    Problem: Before I knew anything about bit rates or file sizes, I accidently imported a ton of my music as giant music files like Apple lossless! Now, my iPod has filled up with far fewer songs than Apple said could fit on my iPod! What do I do?!?
    Solutions:
    You have a couple options now. What you are going to need to do is convert the songs to a smaller file size like mp3. Under your import preferences (which can be found under iTunes>Preferences>Import Tab if you use an Apple or File>Preferences>Import Tab if you use Windows), change the file type to the type you would like to convert your music too.
    Then, in your music library, sort your music by "Kind." If there isn't a "Kind" collumn at the top of your library, right click or control-click the "sorting bar" and select Kind. Click on "Kind" so that the arrow is either pointing up or down. See what file types your songs are. Are there any that are already in the file format that you are about to convert to? If so, don't select those songs. Otherwise, select the other songs (we'll say for discussion purposes that you chose AAC under the Import tab). Right click or control-click the selected songs and choose "Convert to AAC." iTunes will then copy and paste all the songs you selected into the new file format, AAC. Now, you have two options. If you have plenty of memory on your computer, I would choose Option 2.
    Option 1:
    You could delete all the music in the large file format from your library and continue syncing the iPod automatically.
    Pros: You don't have to change any of the settings you use to sync your iPod. You also save hard drive space.
    Cons: You delete the higher quality music. If you ever want to play your iPod through a stereo or high quality speakers, you won't have the high quality music to play. Also, you have to recreate all your iTunes playlists.
    Option 2
    Make a Smart playlist (File>Make New Smart playlist). Choose "Kind" in the first drop down menu. Choose "Does Not Contain" from the next drop down menu. Then, type in "Apple Lossless or whatever the large song file type was." What this does is essentially create a seperate library for you; one that contains no large files. Now, depending on how many playlists you have, you may want to replace the songs in the playlists with AAC files, but if you don't have too many playlists with large files, it should not be a problem. Next, connect your iPod. Go to File>Preferences>iPod Tab Choose automatically update selected playlists only. Then select all the playlists, including the smart playlists, you want to sync onto your iPod. This will sync all the files in your library, excluding those in the large format.
    Pros: You get the best of both world. You have all the lossless files on your computer, and all the AAC files on your iPod.
    Cons: You take up a lot of file space on your computer when you virtually duplicate your library.

  • Regular Two Button Mouse, Corded

    I need help with choosing a mouse that is two button, non Apple, with Scroll Wheel. If the mouse does not need drivers or does not crash OS X or make it slow with drivers installed. If a particular update breaks the mouse or it does not work with Tiger, please post it here.
    Thank You

    In the end you'll need to figure out what mouse will work best for you, but I can make a personal suggestion. As long as you're right handed, I'd recommend a Logitech Multi-Button mouse. I have the MX 510 and I personally love it. It's fairly well supported right out of the box, although for optimum use you'd need to install the drivers. I personally disliked the Logitech drivers (and uninstalled them), but I am a big fan of USB Overdrive which is a third party mouse driver that works flawlessly. As far as the MX 510 goes, it's not very compact (read: meant for desktop use), but it's great for gaming and any type of precision work. I've had mine for over a year with no problem and they have a good warranty if anything did go wrong. Best of all though, it's pretty cheap right now.
    $32 @ ZipZoomFly w/free 2-day
    Hope this helps some. You might want to look at some full length reviews of whatever mouse you decide to go with before you buy it.

  • I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini and would like to merge them into one library. What is the easiest way to do this?

    I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini back in the day. I would like to consolidate them into one iTunes library. What is the easiest method to do this? I do use i-Match to access all my music from  iCloud, if that makes any difference.  Thanks. Mark

    Thanks for the reply. When I created the 2 libraries years ago I would hold down the options key and had 2 library names to choose from. Now it just shows a lot of files when I do that, With over 7,000 songs I think I will just look for the few songs from the original library I used to use that still interest me, if they don't show up in my default current library. Thought there would be any easy was to integrate all my music files into one library. I am definitely not going to spend days manually doing this, but thanks again.

    Try:

    - 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 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.
