How can I get my home button to work again

How can I get my home button to work again

Well, if your Home button is broken, you won't be able to reset your phone, and if the Sleep/Wake button won't turn your phone on, it's a trip to the Apple store.

    How can I get the reset button to work?: Answer
    Thanks to everyone who helped on this. You are awesome. Especially Ned!!  Posted here because I was unable to add more to the existing post.
    Here is the question:
    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
    ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
        at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
        at AddATree2/onReset()
    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
      Here is the answer:
    //when you click the reset button everything is removed from the stage
        //except the star, baclground, and reset button (trees and greeting REMOVED)
        public function onClear(Event:MouseEvent):void
                if (tree3) removeChild(tree3);
                if (tree2) removeChild(tree2);
                if (webText) removeChild(webText);
                if (tree) removeChild(tree);
                clickCount = 0;

    This is the answer to what to put in the onclear function.

  • After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my log-in to work again?

    After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my apple ID log-in to work again?

    Several times I've re-entered my passwords under Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud and it won't save since I've installed Mavericks.  Also, the iCloud icon in the left column in Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud is greyed out but allows me to click on it to set-up.  When I click on iCloud the password is filled out but the "Enable this account" check-box is not checked.  I check it, and all seems correct.  The icon is no longer grey, the password is correct, the "activate this account" check-box is checked.  Then, when I launch mail, notes etc. I'm still prompted to re-enter my apple ID.  The log-in loop continues.  For years my keychain has worked perfectly.  What has changed in Mavericks?

  • How can I get drag and drop to work again in iphoto11?

    I have created a photo book in iphoto 11 (version 9.3.2) on my imac running os 10.7.5.  The drag and drop feature suddenly quit working. I cannot drag/drop photos from an event into the photo book OR within the photo book.
    I've restarted the computer to no avail. I've also quit and restarted iphoto.
    When I run Console, I see the following errors: iphoto: coredragcrete error -4960 and error in coredragdispose -1850
    What should I do to get my drag and drop working again?

  • How can I get my home button to start working again?

    I got the Ipod 4 when it first came out. Shortly after i had gotten it the button had stopped working on it, so I had set up the home button that you have on the screen. Is there any way that I can fix it?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. 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.

  • How can I get my Freehand Mx to work again?

    Hi People, I am running Freehand Mx on an intel based iMac (OSX 10.5.8). Freehand has been running fine on this system for ages and now I can't seem to get it to open. It seems to launch ok but doesn't show up on screen and I have to force quit it. I've tried reloading the trial from adobe and putting in the hotfix but still doesn't seem to work! This is a major issue as I use Freehand Mx pretty much all the time and now can't access files unless I open in Illustrator and spend time getting them back to the way they were.
    Any suggestion gratefully recieved

    Hello:
    Thank you for responding so quickly.
    I have added child and it has removed the error. However, the button icon has disappeared as you can see when you play the .swf and the reset button doesn't clear the stage of everything but the star and the back ground.

  • How can I get my applications to start working again?

    Hey y'all
    I have the iPod touch and I've downloaded about 9 applications. The applications worked for a little while but now the apps aren't working. I press the button for the app, the application runs for a few second but the screen goes back to the home or start page.
    Is there a way I can fix this problem?

    I have got my apps working properly,
    I deleted all the apps from the app store off my ipod touch.
    Then deleted all the apps in my itunes library(moved them to the trash when asked), then plugged my ipod and let it sync,
    went back to the app store and clicked buy again on Suoer Monkey Ball, a message will popup saying " you have already purchased, download for free"
    It is now working and I am installing the free apps one at a time and checking each one after download, all seems to be ok so far.

  • How can I get my MAC iMessages to work again?  (is IOS 7.0.2 to blame?)

    So, armed with an iPhone 5 (orig) , iPad (4th Gen) and an iMac running OS X 10.8.5 it appears that my iMessages on the desktop no longer work. This is apparently coincident with my upgrade of the handhelds to IOS 7.0.2. Alas, I am no longer in sync!
    Symptoms:
    iMessage on iMac will not activate the account. The remembered password seems to have disappeared and the attempts to activate the AppleID result in an error message dialog: "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." Meanwhile, the iPhone and iPad continue to function normally.

    So I did a bit of digging and found this from toddwest24 since I was also having the same scenario with FaceTime......
    From TODDWEST24:
    Re: The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later. 
    Jan 23, 2013 1:17 AM (in response to ndpendnc)
    I've been trying to get an answer to this problem for MONTHS.  I upgraded both my iMac and my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion, and ever since, FaceTime and iMessage stopped working.  I got the "Server encountered an error . . ." So, I called Apple "support" and they claimed they haven't heard of this issue.  I said I find it hard to believe since it's apparently a huge problem for tons of users and is all over the Apple forums.  After spending an hour on the phone with "support", they said they had to pass i on to a senior engineer and they'd call me back within 2 days with an answer.  After waiting a week, I decided to go to the place where I should have gone before, the place where all questions can be answered, even those too advanced for Apple, that place . . . YouTube.
    Fixing the time issue didn't work for me, nor did any other solution that has been posted on the boards.  Yet after watching a 1:24 video on YouTube, both FaceTime and iMessage now work for me.
    Here's the solution which WILL work.
    You do need to first make sure your date/time settings are correct and set to adjust automatically.  But doing just this step will not fix the problem.
    Open Finder, click on "Go" at the top menu, then select "Go To Folder"
    Type in    /etc     and hit enter
    You'll see a file called "hosts".  Drag that file to your desktop.
    Right click on that file and open with Text Edit
    Select all the text in that file, delete it and replace it with the text below, exactly as it is below.  Then save the new hosts file (just exiting will save it). And then drag that new hosts file back into the /etc folder to replace the old one.  After that, your FaceTime and iMessage will work, no thanks to Apple.
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    fe80::1%lo0 localhost
    Oddly, finish the above off with a REBOOT and then hey presto, it worked.
    The annoying thing is, I really don't know why?
    Anyway, problem solved and thanks to all.

  • How can I get my ipod classic to work again after dropping it in water?

    I dropped it in soapy greasy water, is there any chance that I can save it so I can use it again?

    On the iPod, create an On-The-Go Playlist.
    Navigate to the first Playlist you want to use; press-and-hold the Select (centre) button until the Playlist name flashes. This puts that playlist into the On-The-Go Playlist, which is located at the bottom of the Playlist menu.
    Now navigate to the second Playlist you want; press-and-hold the Select button until the Playlist name flashes. This has added the second Playlist to the On-The-Go Playlist.
    Repeat for each Playlist you want to add.
    Once you have added all the Playlists you want, scroll down to the end of the Playlist to On-The-Go list. If you go into the On-The-Go list, you will see all the songs form your other Playlists, in Playlist order. Simply scroll to the first song and press the Select or Play to start the first song playing.

  • How can I get the escape key to work again?

    I've used "esc" to get out of VI's insert mode for 40 years. I am not going to relearn that keystroke as "ctl-esc", period. Even if I were to do that, then I'd be typing ctl-esc on other platforms where it would not work because I have to type "esc" alone. If there is a way to fix in in System Preferences->keyboard, I cannot find it. If there is not, then it is completely 100% brain-dead wrong. I hope that's not the case.  So there is definitely a bug:
    The key-up event on the escape key does not cause the escape key code to be delivered to the active window when no other key is pressed, or
    The UI is sufficiently obtuse that the cause of the suppression cannot readily be found.
    I do hope it is merely the latter because I am compelled to use Outlook and Outlook does not work properly under OS/X 10.6.  (Our Exchange Server is rigged to only allow Outlook clients to send email outside of the company.)
    Thank you.

    The answer is:  The bug is in the UI.  Speech recognition was enabled, by default it uses the bare escape key as a "mic on" indicator, and it does not leave any trace in the keybord configuration.  So that is the bug.  It needs to leave a trace there, a la: "X Listen-for-voice-command  ^" under Mission Control.

    How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click?  (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

    Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

  • In Yosemite, How can I get the "READER" button back in the Tool Bar at the top of the screen

    In OS X Yosemite,
    How can I get the "READER" button back in the Tool Bar for Safari at the top of the screen ?
    Thanks,

    I don't see the "READER button".
    I see "READ LATER" but not the "READER" function.
    Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
    Please continue to HELP ME with this question.
    In the previous version of Safari, there was a "READER Button" on the right side of the tool bar. This brings up the selected web page in a READER mode all by itself, without the ads, etc.
    Are you saying that I can get this function by clicking on the Left side of the Address bar?
    When I do that, I get lots of icons, but NOT the READER button.
    Thanks
