My iPhone 4S home key doesn't work most of the time.  Why is this? What can I do?

My iPhone 4S's home key sticks and I am not able to access my phone.  I have to push the on/off button at the top and even then, I can't access the my apps because it is stuck.  How do I fix this?  Can I fix this?

Your home button is broken.  Bring it in to Apple for evaluation and likely exchange.

    CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time.  Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working.  I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's.  Is there a way around this?  Is there a patch to correct it?

    To build CD's???
    What problem does Encore have with DL?
    If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

  • After update flash player doesn't work most of the time

    Hi Folks!
    Windows XP
    IE 6
    About 2 weeks ago I installed a flash player security update and ever since then flash player doesn't work most of the time. On most websites with embeded video all I see is an empty placeholder where the video is supposed to be.
    If I go to a site like Youtube all is fine. However, if I go to a site that has embeded a Youtube video all I see is the empty placeholder where the video is supposed to be.
    Some folks have recommended I uninstall and download and reinstall. The problem with this is that there isn't *anything* related to Abobe flash player in Add/Remove programs.
    Not sure what to do about this (read: I'm totally lost!).
    Here's a screencap of the empty placeholder:

    The standard warranty is for 12 months from the date of purchase, unless you bough AppleCare which would have extended it to 2 years.
    If it's out of warranty, then you pay for repairs, and it's expensive. There are 3rd party repairers who are cheaper.
    Did you try these?

    As the previous poster said, it's more than likely a hardware issue, but there's no harm in trying the software fixes before you decide it needs repair.

  • Mail retrieval doesn't work most of the time

    Hi there,
    I am network administrator for a Windows 2003 network with an Exchange 2003 server. In this network I have 3 apple's with os/x 10.5.4. These 3 mac's use the default Mail facility and use POP to get the mail from the Exchange server. Since some weeks 2 of these mac's suddenly won't retrieve mail anymore and give no message whatsoever. Only 1 Mac keeps working fine regarding mail. On an external site I also have an Mac with an older OS and I have enabled POP en IMAP on the firewall. From this Mac I also do not have a problem getting mail. Since they used to use POP I gave up searching and tried starting to use IMAP. Again this fails on 1 'problem' Mac. The external Mac goed fine with IMAP.
    I can ping to the exchange server, i can perform a portscan to 110 and 143 to the exchange server. I can't tracert the exchange server via it's hostname. I thought of network settings and switched it from DHCP to static, checked DNS, but non of them pointed me to a solution. I don't know how to get this working.
    Hopefully somebody can point me into the right direction. I'm a Windows administrators so my knowledge of mac's is minor.

  • Junk filter doesn't work most of the time

    I might have asked for problems. By mistake I qualified about 20 messages in my junk folder as not junk ... Then I marked them as junk again after I noticed the mistake I have made. Ever since the filter seems to be confused and doesn't screen out junk the way it did. Regardless how many times I marked as junk the messages (usually from the same senders) that should be junk, they end up in my inbox.
    I am using the latest version of Mavericks with the latest version of Apple mail.
    Is there anything I can do to fix the problem? Thanks in advance.

    Try resetting the Junk Mail Filter in Mail Preferences.

  • My home button does not respond most of the time. Is this a hardware failure?

    I've had quite a bit of difficulty with getting my home button to respond. Sometimes, the only way to get back to the home screen is to do a hard reset. I constantly close any open apps, thinking that this might be the problem (memory issue).
    Hoping you can help!
    Thanks!

    My iPhone 4S speaker suddently doesn't work properly from one week ago? How I can do? 4s is still under warranty?

    Have you tried any troubleshooting steps, like resetting you iPhone, for example?  Or restoring it?
    If not by all means do so because your problem could be caused by software glitches that could be solved resetting or restoring.
    Warranty is for one year from date of purchase and two years if you bought Apple Care at the time of purchase. If your iPhone has a hardware issue within warranty, it would be replaced by Apple.  If it is already out of warranty, you might be eligible for an out of warranty replacement where you pay a much lower amount but this varies according to the country and currency, so it is better to check with Apple or with an authorized reseller.

  • I have ipad with IOS 7,  Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

    I have ipad with IOS 7,  Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

    Try this and see if it helps.
    Settings>Safari>Clear cookies and data.
    Now close Safari completely. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then "swipe up" or "drag up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    When I try to Home-Share It works most of the time. It will always show up, but sometimes I tap on the icon of my library then it wont load, I restart my computer, IOS Divice and my router It still wont load my library. I even went and tried to reinstall Itunes and everything nothing works.

    Hi,
    /Users/sarahschadek/Desktop/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
    Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
    Restart your Mac.
    That's why you see this:
    When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
    After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click:  Software Update ...

  • IPhone 4 Home key no longer works tried recovery but nothing

    Yesterday my iPhone 4 got a bit of condensation from being in an inside jacket pocket while riding my bike in the rain.  I also took a fall but don't think the phone took a hit - its in a bumper sleeve as well.  Thing works better since I managed to restore from backup but still Home key refuses to work, meaning I can't change the programme without resetting the iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Wow, hope you are OK. Bunch of problems here. If the condensation got to the Home Button, give it another day or two to hopefully dry out. If something shorted that would be real bad. If the fall jarred the iPhone and disconnected the Home Button Flex cable. Only way to fix that is to open phone and reseat it. Better to let Apple Store fix this for free under warranty. Restore from Backup will not usually fix much. You need to do a true firmware update or restore, this is what I would do next. Update or Restore, if still no function, let it dry for another day, if still no function, time to visit Apple.
