  • HT2188 How can I fix the home button on my iPod touch?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch that is about almost 2 years old. I've never dropped it on a hard surface like concrete or hardwood floors, just a few times on my carpet. It's never been scratched, never had water damage or anything like that. It's in pretty good condition, and runs pretty smoothly, except my home button doesn't work!
    I know several people with the same iPod who have similar problems - their home button doesn't work. When I'm in an app, like the Music app, and I hit the home button to get back to my home screen, it doesn't work.
    I've looked it up on the internet - I've seen several videos on YouTube (like turning the iPod off, entering an original app like Weather or Notes and then holding the lock button down until the "slide to power off" button came up, and then holding the home button down until it went away to 'calibrate' the home button, and locking my iPod and then clicking the lock screen and home button at the same time - which worked for me a few times, but after like a day or two, the button stopped working) and I've also Googled it and heard that rubbing alcohol on a q-tip would clean any gunk out from underneath the home button. I've never tried the alcohol one out of fear that I'd really ruin the button.
    I've also read that there might be dust under there or gunk that should be cleaned by a professional...
    But my dad says that it's too tight of an area around the button for anything to get lodged under there. I am currently updating the iPod to iO5 or whatever the new update is to see if it makes any difference.
    I'm just trying this forum as a last result to see if there is anyone out there with a similar problem that has fixed it themselves to quell the problem permanently. If not, then I suppose I'll be forced to take it to the Apple Store and see if they can fix it.
    I did have the 1 year warranty, but alas, I did not start having these problems until recently.

    Have you looked here:

    You can use the Accessibility Assistive Touch feature for almost all of the Home button functions.

    My girlfriends phone was fine then all of a sudden the home button don't work and we knew the power button doesn't work but I need help trying to fix the home button?

    Make a backup, then restore it as new, via iTunes.
    If that fails, then contact Apple to get the device serviced/replaced.

  • Hello, how can i fix my home button, it activates itself all of the time.

    my iphone has a mind of its own! the home button activates its self all of the time. if i am using a app it will go back to the menu, if locked it will open voice command. i have tried reseting, updating it and all of that. its not at all damaged and it started doing it all of a sudden and hasnt stoped for a week now. p.s   I would rather not send it back to apple because their service is awful and very slow, i have already changed it 4 times for various reasons and would rather avoid doing it again. thanks alot if anyone can help, im getting desperate :s

    You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide.  If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • How can you fix your iphone5 if it freezes?

    Straight from the User Guide:  do a reset--hold the on/off switch and home button together until the Apple logo appears, generally around 20 - 30 seconds.

  • Can you disable the home button?

    My Ipod will close apps and go to the home screen for no reason.  Can you disable the home button/function to prevent this from happening?

    http://nealbo.hubpages.com/hub/Recalibrate-Unresponsive-iPhone-Home-Button
    Step 1: Open a stock iPhone app. e.g. Apples Stocks, Weather, SMS, Email etc.
    Step 2: Press and hold the power button until the swipe to power off screen appears.
    Step 3: Let go of the iPhone's power button
    Step 4: Press and hold the iPhone's home button. Do not let go until the power off screen disappears.
    And that's it, your home button is recalibrated and should hopefully now be more responsive.
    This seemed to make it better, but not fixed.

    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 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?

  • How can you hide a Continue button until all clickboxes are clicked?

    I have seen similar questions to this one, but none seemed to be the exact situation as mine.
    What I have: Several images on a screen.  When a user clicks an image it is replaced with another image.  I am using clickboxes for this task.  I do not wish for them to toggle back and forth. Once they click the original image it should stay changed.
    What I am trying to do: Once a learner clicks all the images (in no particular order) a Continue button appears that allows them to go to the next screen.
    If anyone has some suggestions on this situation please let me know, thanks.

    I cannot log in on the forum for the moment, so will try by answering by
    mail. I was aware of that problem (have presented those solutions so
    often), thought that since you left all images visible once the click box
    was clicked it wouldn't be a problem.
    Two possible solutions:
       1. Easiest one: add a statement in the Always decision that will Hide
       the click box just clicked. It has no sense to click it another time. That
       will mean that you still can do it with a shared action but that shared
       action will have two parameters now, the second one being the click box
       that has to adapted on each application of the shared action.
       2. If you don't want to make the click box hidden (which means at the
       same time disabled), you'll need a user variable for each click box,
       starting with a default value of 0, and toggle it in the Decision 'Always'
       to 1. The second decision will then need a condition that checks the value
       of all the user variables (with AND) and shows the Next button only when
       all variables have the value of 1.
    Sorry, but have to mail, cannot offer a screenshot in that case.
