Volume Button Acting like Power Button! Help!

For some reason, my iTouch volume buttons randomly decided to become a power button. Whenever I press a volume button, it turns off. It even gets the power off slide if I hold it long enough! It won't change the volume right either. Can somebody please help?

I am having the same issue. If anyone has a fix to this i would appreciate it. I have tried resetting and removing all data from the iPod but it did not work.

Loose volume button. help

I bought a iPad mini with retina display a couple days ago and the upper volume button slightly moves when you gently press it. My lower volume button and the off button do not do this. Is this normal?

We can't make your decision for you. If YOU feel it is a problem, then by all means, take it back and get one to replace it.

- 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.

My volume buttons have ceased to work when I want to use the built-in speakers, however they will work when I use my headphones....help!

This thread concerns IOS 7.1.2. update and the subsequent loss of volume button functionality and use of internal speakers.
Please can someone help from the mac team!
It's not a jailbreak phone. The phone is a replacement from Apple and the volume buttons are virtually won't work for certain functions on the phone. Here are the symptoms:
When the volume buttons are pressed on the home screen i get "ringer" and the speaker symbol appear but nothing more (ie. +/- volume)
When playing back from iTunes with no headphones in, I get nothing through the internal speakers, nor do the volume buttons work, nor is the volume slider visable.
When i playback Youtube content with no headphones in, I get nothing through the internal speakers, nor do the volume buttons work, nor is the volume slider visable.
With headphones plugged in sound is audible and volume buttons work.
Whilst using voicemail, (no headphones connected) i can play the message through the speakers and control volume using side buttons.
I have restored the phone and this has not fixed the problem.
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2. upgrade

Hey there jeremy,
It sounds like your Volume buttons aren't working correctly and you are also not getting sound from your built in speaker. I would start by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

The button on my track pad keeps acting like it's pressed down.

I just noticed that the button for my track pad on my '08 MacBook Pro is acting like I'm pressing it down when I'm not even touching it. I've tried to reset the track pad and restart my computer but it's not fixed the problem. I'm not exactly tech savvy so any detailed help would be welcomed.

If the trackpad surface does not move down when pressed, the battery may have swollen and is pressing on the bottom of the trackpad. The battery may explode or catch fire. Take it to an Apple store for inspection.

I suppose that you can demand all you want. It would have to be proven that the iOS update broke this particular function but it could also be said that it was just a matter of time that the broken thing manifested itself. Since the phone is out of warranty, it could also be said that it is your risk to update software. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but we are not Apple. We are users like you and just try and provide support to other users. What you decide to do from here is your decision. I've given you all I know to do.

IPod Touch 4G Sleep/Power and Volume buttons not working/responding

I got my iPod touch 4th Generation last Christmas from Japan.
After 2 days, I updated to iOS 4.2.1.
The next day the buttons stopped working.
Everything else works perfectly except for the three buttons on the side.
I've seen other posts about this issue before.
Sometimes it works then it doesn't, sometimes it works, then it doesn't.
It works fine randomly. But most of the time, it isn't working.
I found a solution where all you have to do is
disable the auto-lock(set it to "never") and hold the two volume buttons and the sleep/power buttons at the same time but that doesn't work for my iPod.
I tried resetting (Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings),
restoring it and even
draining the battery and turning it on again but to no avail.
I had to make do with ejecting it from iTunes while holding the sleep button then unplugging it while still holding the sleep button.
It worked for a while, but not anymore.
My friend's got the same issue.
Anyone got any other solution?

i just called apple about 5 mins ago and they said that they have never heard of this problem..they dont want to accept the fact that thier product is a lemon...they told me to buy a new one or get this one repaired..hope someone from apple reads this and tries to help their customers..
.....hope they employ some grown ups to assemble these products in china..not little kids..
what a waste of money..
