Volume and Lock buttons stopped working after new iOS 4.3.3 update (ipod 4th gen)

After I updated my ipod with the iOS 4.3, the volume and lock buttons stopped working.
This has happened before and it'sprobably one of the most annoying problems ever.
The lock button tends to stop working but then works again only when it wants to, but the volume buttons dont work at all.
When the locked button worked again I turned it off and turned it on again, but it didnt fix the problem.
I've pretty much tried everything that I've read and nothing seems to work.
So now, I don't know what to do.
Should I take it to a random apple store or to where I bought it from?
It seems that it's happening to almost everyone, so at least I'm not the only one and maybe someone can help me out

If you have restored in iTunes on a computer and the problem remains then it's a hardware fault and it needs to be repaired. When you update the iOS version on an iOS device it checks the hardware components, this is when it'll detect un-diagnosed hardware faults and the components will stop working... even if they were working previously

    Hi jess,
    If your phone is only 4 months old, you should take it back to your Apple Store and have it replaced.

    Hello Kimbo1991,
    It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,

  • My IPod touch 4G's volume and lock buttons have been not working properly What should I do that isn't too costly

    My iPod volume and lock button have not been working right ever since its battery died it did start to work again but then it stopped working. I'm very confused about how I should go about fixing this please help.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device As best you can). 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.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar          
    If not under warranty or abused
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Lock button stopped working,is it warranty case?in Apple will change my iPhone or will be repaired?  Sorry for my English

    lock button stopped working,is it warranty case?in Apple will change my iPhone or will be repaired?  Sorry for my English

    Nobody here can possible speak for Apple whether it is a warranty failure or not.  You need to take it into an Apple store or send it to Apple and have them evaluate it.  If they decide it is a warranty failure and you are still within your warranty period, then yes, it will be replaced with a factory refurbished unit for free.
    If it is determined to be due to something you have done, then the warranty does not apply and you would have to pay the out of warranty replacement fee.

  • IPhone 5S home button stopped working after iOS 8.3 update

    My home button stopped working after I updated it to the iOS 8.3. My finger print can still unlock the phone but the home button won't work.

    What you are describing sounds more like a hardware issue than a software issue.  Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local apple retail store and have the device evaluated.

    My loudspeaker and lock button not working and my warranty has expired!!! I do not know what to do!!!! HELP PLEASE!!

    Those are hardware issues. You can try all of the software troubleshooting if you want. Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If that does not work, then your only option is to pay someone for something. The decision is up to you, but I've provided the options.

  • What makes the Print Screen and End Buttons stop working?

    I am 3 weeks into the trial period. Twice before, the Print Screen (manual capture) and End buttons stopped working. The only way I found to correct this is to uninstall and reinstall the application. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

    More information on this issue: When I start recording in any mode, one screen is captured. No other screens are captured during execution on program functions, menu selection, navigation, etc. Once again I removed and re-installed the application. This time it made no difference.

  • My screen is smashed and lock button doesnt work, i pay insurance but apple is making me pay $230 when i havent even had my phone for a year! This happened to my friend and they just replaced hers :(

    Apple doesn't sell insurance. Talk to your insurance company.  The warranty does not cover accidental damage or abuse.
    If you purchased AppleCare+, you can get up to 2 discounted (US$49) replacements over the course of 2 years for user inflicted damage. Sounds like that's not what you have.
    As I said, talk to your insurance company.

  • Whay mi back kamera on 4s stop working after uppdate iOS 7.1

    Whay mi back kamera on 4s stop working after uppdate iOS 7.1

    If you have been using the Camera app try quitting the app like I describe below then reset the iPhone.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
