I've read that if i put a drop of alcohol or acetone on the home button it should fix the problem but im affraid of adding liquid to it and it stop working all together.

    phone is frozen in  a middle of a call and my top restart button do not work, how can i fix it

    Bummer.
    Without having the top button, you couldn't do a hard reset.
    I'd say you might be looking at backing up and restoring through iTunes unfortunatley.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

    My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

         My iPod touch is always recognized by my Vista Box...using the same USB cable and port my wife's nano isn't detected anymore.  Since Vista can't see the nano iTunes can't see it either.  When I try my wife's nano I get the message:
         "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesn't recognize it.  For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
         I thought her nano wasn't charged enough but I've charged it for hours and this doesn't make a difference.  It used to synch like my ipod touch but it stopped working about a week ago.  My wife's nano still holds songs and works it just can't be recognized by Windows.  I even checked if the Apple Mobile Device app was running and it was and I stopped it and restarted it.  Didn't make any difference.  Any ideas?

  • Speaker on phone calls will not work, how can I fix this? I have already done system restart and reset to manufature default.

    speaker on phone calls will not work, how can I fix this? I have already done system restart and reset to manufature default. I also have no voice with Safari or any other apps including music!

    If your speaker is broken, then you may need to get a repair done.
    Are you unable to hear anything at all, or is it just one speaker in particular?
    If it is just one speaker, where's it located?

  • Updated my IOS 7 now some of my games are not work, how can I fix this problem?

    I have updated my Ipad to the IOS 7 and now some of my games/apps are not working, how can i fix this or revert back to what I had before?

    I'm afraid you'll have to wait until both Apple and the makers of your games/apps upgrade to new versions.
    Apparently there are still some issues with iOS7 that are being dealt with and the same with some apps.
    As for going back, I don't think you will be able to get this information from these forums...

    Apple Support recommends the "5 Rs": reset, restore, reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic.  I'm kidding about the last 3.  Check out the iPod section of Support.

  • I have an HP Touchsmart 610 1130y pc and the touch screen is not working - how can I fix it?

    Does anyone know how to get the touch screen on an HP Touchsmart 610 1130y pc working again? I get an error message "CLL error: 80004005.

    Ingo, the reset has worked, pressing home and sleep buttons together! The problem is that the screen turned black and the iPod does not start again.
    Yesterday, I wrapped the iPod with a plastic. Today, the slide to unlock is moving, but still not reaching the end of the slide bar.
    What should I do now? Try to charge it and reset it on iTunes?
    (thanks, you're really helping me)

    How to reset an iPod nano (6th generation)
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
    If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
