Why won't my lock button work?

I went to lock my iPod and my lock button won't work. I can't even push it down, it's like stuck down in the hole but it won't pop back up. Everything works fine but I have to wait for it to auto-lock everytime I want to turn it off. Why won't the button pop back up?

It looks like you have a hardware issue. I don't know why the button doesn't pop up, but You can enable assistive touch. Assistive touch gives you a virtual lock button, so that will solve you problem. You can enable it by going to Settings->General->Accessibillity->AssistiveTouch->On.

HT2729 Why won't my video button work?

My photo button works fine, but when I press the video button, nothing happens.

Try closing the Camera app completely and see if you can record video when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why won't the sound buttons work on my HP Pavilion g series?

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if videos etc play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.

Why won't the home button work

I just dropped my iphone for the first time. It didn't have an otter box, just a thin plastic cover. It landed on it's screen but shows no screen damage whatsoever. Now I can't use the home button. I can listen to my music and play games just fine, but when it comes to getting back to the home screen with the home button it doesn't work. It makes the usual clicking sound, but nothing else. I got it to the home screen a couple of times by pushing the button with alot of force but I'm affraid that will damage it more. What should I do? Is it fixable? Do I have to take it to be repaired or can I fix it at home?

Sounds like you broke your phone. Bringt it and $149 to the Apple store for an out of warranty replacement.

Why won't my eject button work?

Just recently I went to put a CD in my disk drive on my 13 inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro and received no response. There's no noise and the computer makes no effort or anything to accept the disk the way it normally should. At first I suspected that maybe another disk had become jammed in the drive so I tried force ejecting (holding down the eject button while computer restarts) and even entered some terminal code which did get the drive to make the noise it normally does when it ejects a CD but nothing came out. I feel very confident that nothing is jammed in the drive, and I even reset the SMR or SRM something System Management something, and it all did nothing. Even my eject key no longer gives me the icon on the screen when it is pressed. I don't want to say it but are some parts of my computer actually broken or can I maybe still solve this problem myself?

Hello Auto Boa,
Holding your trackpad button (or clicking and holding the trackpad) while starting your MacBook Pro may eject the disc.
If the disc will still not eject, try holding down the trackpad or mouse button after restarting the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
If the disc still does not eject, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional assistance.

Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.
Thank you

IPhone 5 lock button works but can't unlock or lock

My lock button works as I can turn my iPhone on with it, but it doesn't work when I try to lock or unlock with it. Tried restarting a few times and resetting, but none of them works. Any suggestions what I should do?
Thanks!

Restore the phone, first from backup. If that doesn't solve the issue, restore as NEW device without using any backup at all. If the problem still persists, you likely have a hardware issue and will need to go to Apple to have the phone evaluated.

Why doesnt my lock button work

My lock button doesnt work! How to fix it? At home...!

Hello, Celinelinea.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some steps I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. If you have a protective case installed on the device, be sure to test the Sleep/Wake button without the case installed.
Buttons and Switches
Sleep/Wake button won't lock or unlock iPhone
To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
Try to lock or unlock the phone.
If the issue still persists, see the section labeled Issue not resolved.

Why doesn't my iPhone 5 power/lock button work?

I just called the apple support people and I had told them my issue of my iPhone 5 power/lock button being dis functional. I had also told them I went to the apple store in guilford mall surrey,bc I had a week left in my warranty at that point. When I went to the apple store i told the representatives that my battery was having some problems ( this issue was resolved) and I told the representative that my power button sometimes has a problem but not as much. The representative did not take this into consideration and told me " to not use my phone as rough ". At this point I had thought my main issue was to only get my battery issue resolved which was resolved, so I didn't really think about asking one more time about the power/lock button. 2 weeks after my warranty had expired I first called apple support telling them I am having many difficulties with my lock/power button. They told me at that point it would cost $260+tax to replace the phone. Then I told them that I have already talked to your representatives at the apple store in guilford mall surrey bc and that they didn't take it into consideration at that point. The apple care person told me "I'm sorry sir you could've have only gotten it replaced when you were still under warranty" and he said " the only option here is to restore your phone ( which I did and nothing changed) or replace your phone by paying $260+ tax. After I told them I would try going to the store again to resolve this disappointing issue. When I went in the store today I told the same thing I told to the representative over the phone and the store representative told me "sorry your appointment of coming before your warranty is not showing up on my system" then I pulled up an email confirming that I had actually come to the same apple store before my warranty had expired. He still didn't take anything into consideration and told me to just use the accessible touch or pay the amount to replace my phone I am very disappointed because when I went before my warranty was about to expire the representative didn't advise me to get my phone replaced and simply didn't take my concern into consideration. I hope the manager of the store looks into this for the future customers and tries to resolve my issue. Thanks

After your appointment at the Genius Bar, you received an email asking for your feedback. I suggest you copy these comments and paste them there. Ranting here serves no purpose at all.

HT4972 Why won't Kindle or instagram work on my I-Touch? Why do either of them require IOS 4 or 5?

Why won't Kindle or instagram Apps work on my I-Touch?
Why do either of them require IOS 4 or 5 and why can't Itouch V2 update to IOS 4 or 5 operating systems?

1. The developer stopped supporting older iOS versions.
2. A second generation iPod touch can be updated to iOS 4.2.1 but doesn't have enough RAM to run iOS 4.3 or newer.
