Double click home button does not bring up Search

I installed OS 3.0 on my first generation iPod Touch. On the Settings | General | Home, I selected Search. When I double click the home button, I get the "Dock Connector" dialog. Am I missing something?

RESOLUTION- First, enter "Settings" and select "General". Then, scroll down to "Home". Then, flip the switch that says "iPod Controls" (so it is off). Once your are done with that, select what you want a double-click of the Home button to be.

  • Home button does not bring me to the home screen

    I bought an iPod Touch 16GB in the beginning of june. It was a gift, and has not been in use until yesterday. The home button is totally unresponsive. Pushing the home button will not give any respons at all. Whenever I launch an app, I'm stuck there, until I shut the device off or reset it.
    We felt this might be a softwareproblem. The software was upgraded to 3.1.2
    The iPod is fully charged. I have done a restart and a reset several times. All of the content on the iPod (music was the only thing put into it, no apps) is removed. I have reset all settings and the software is restored several times using the restore button in iTunes.
    I can do a "hard reset" (holding down the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time for 10 sec will give me the expected respons). So it seems the home button hardware is working.
    I still believe this is some sort of software error. I have done everything suggested by Apple to sort out the problem, but nada!
    This is a brand new iPod, it has never been used and I obviously will take it to the store and I am sure it will be fixed or replaced.
    BUT: Does anyone have any suggestions, in case there are something I should have tried out first?

    One more thing before you take it back to the store - try a restore. You will do this from within iTunes. Since you really don't have app data to concern yourself with, do a "restore as new". This will wipe it clean and reinstall the firmware. You can then sync to add everything back to it.

  • Double-clicking Home button does nothing

    And yes, I tried a restore. It should take me to favorites; that's what I chose in Settings/General. Any ideas?

    Replying to my own question. Here's what I've discovered. If 'Favorites' is the last thing you viewed (under the 'Phone' icon), then double-clicking the Home button will do nothing. If, on the other hand, 'Contacts' is the last thing you've viewed under 'Phone', then double-clicking the Home button will take you to favorites.
    Still, a piece of iphone behavior that seems buggy to me.

  • Why won't double clicking Home button bring up Media Controls on iPhone 4S?

    Rotation lock has appeared on my iPhone 4S and double clicking the Home button does not bring up Media Controls to unlock it. What needs to be done?

    It didn't appear or become activated by itself.

  • Yesterday double clicked home button and all of my apps disappeared; cannot shut off i-pad, and syncing it does not restore apps or enable me to use it again. Help!

    See if this fixes things.
    Reset 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.

  • My new iphone 5 screen does not rotate from portrait to landscape.  It is stuck in portrait.  I checked and its not locked (double clicked home button scrolled over and the circle arrow does NOT  have lock inside it).

    My screen refuses to rotate (the home screen).  I already double clicked home button and scrolled over, the circle arrow does NOT have the lock inside it.  I went thru all the settings and can find nothing to try and fix this.  Do I need to send the phone back?  Is it broken?  I just got it yesterday.  It has not been damaged in any way.  Please help.

    The home screen doesn't rotate to landscape mode.  Only apps do.
    Good eye Rob, I didn't even catch that.

  • 3.1.2 double clicking home button when music is not playing

    Is the bug that double clicking home button while music is not playing didn't bring up the iPod control fixed? I don't know it's a design change or a bug, but for me it seems definitely a bug since it doesn't give anything good. Clicking home button once already terminates the application, why would anyone use double clicking to exit the application too?
    This is why I'm still using 3.0. Is this fixed in 3.1.2?

    It's a design change, not a bug. Although I do have to agree with you on that I preferred what double-clicking the home button originally did. There is even settings (in general settings if I can remember right) on what double-clicking the home button performs, but that isn't even an option on it.
    And nope this is not fixed or redesigned in 3.1.2.
    Hope that answers your question,
    Enjoy!

  • 3.1.3 double clicking home button when music is not playing

    Is the bug that double clicking home button while music is not playing didn't bring up the iPod control fixed? For me, it seems definitely a bug since it doesn't give anything good. Clicking home button once already terminates the application, why would anyone use double clicking to exit the application too?

    Jeong-hun Sin, 3.1.3 has the same issue, and I do not think Apple is ever going to fix this issue. They still haven't even fixed the live updating playlist sort order issue...
    roaminggnome he's referring to a pop-up controls issue that has been talked about on this forum ever since the release of the 3.1 firmware.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151438
    In 3.0 and older versions, if you're in an app/game you can double-click the home-button to access the iPod pop-up controls to resume the playback of a song/podcast that had been previously paused/stopped.
    In 3.1, if a song had been previously paused you cannot launch the pop-up conrols to resume the playback of the song. You're forced to exit the app that you might be in (lets say safari, or a game), and then resume playback using the music app.
    Jeong-hun Sin, I upgraded to 3.1.3 a few days ago, and have found a few improvements:
    - Many 3D games are MUCH smoother/faster under 3.1.3, than 3.0. I downgraded back to 3.0 just to see if I was just imagining things, but games like Coconut-racer, and Asphalt 5 were not as smooth as they were under 3.1.3.
    - If you happen run apps that have live video streaming where the video playback controls do not appear (e.g the BBC world, Al Jazeera news, sure there's more), the iPod Touch no longer randomly reboots when using those apps.

  • My "home" button does not work... what can I do to fix it? Or can i bring it into a Verizon/Apple store to have it fixed?

    My "home" button does not work... what can I do to fix it? Or can i bring it into a Verizon/Apple store to have it fixed?

    Verizon does not fix/repair/replace devices.
    Apple provides all hardware support in the US.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
    FYI, they do not fix devices, so backup your device prior to going to the store.

  • TS2755 Since a recent general software upgrade when I double click Home button circular icons of contacts appear above the miniature page. I would like to stop this. It never used to occur and I am not keen on it now ! Any ideas please ?

  • When I double click Home button, all of my apps don't show in the bar -- only the four that reside there. Did a reset last night to fix the Home button (it sort of works now) but now this. Any ideas on why I can't do the fast app switch now?

    When I double click Home button to change apps quickly, only the four apps that reside on the task bar show. All of my apps would show prior to my reset of the iPad last night (to fix the Home button). Any ideas on how to fix?

    My undertanding is that when you double-click the home button, the apps that are shown are those that are currently active.  The reason you are not seeing all of them is that not all of them are active.  Before you can access an app in the multitask bar, it has to be turned on first.  As a test, try accessing the Notes application.  Return to the home screen by clicking the Home button ONCE.  Once the home screen appears, double click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar.  The Notes app should be on the far left.

  • Frequent LowMemory crash when starting multitasking by double-click Home button

    After upgrading iOS 7, my iPhone 5 crashes when double-clicking home button for multitasking.
    The crush shows white apple logo and reboots my iPhone.
    It occurs about 2-3 times a day.
    Every time crash occurs, Diagnostic & Usage Data would add a LowMemory log, which is exactly the time iPhone crashes.
    Therefore I guess it's because of running out memory.
    I've tried Reset My Phone, Reduce Motion, Disable Background App Fresh..., but none of it worked.
    My iPhone begins to crash 3 days after resetting.
    Does anybody know how to solve it?

    I think you mean crash.
    Also, I am going to assume you've tried restarting and reseting. What you can do is back up the important information in your phone (using either iTunes or iCloud) and restore the device as new. Then, you can restore from your backup. This will remove any and all software bugs.

  • Home button does not wake up iPod Touch

    Hey all,
    After the iPod screen turns off automatically after the preset idle time, pressing the "Home" button does not wake the device up from the first press; on some occasions it has to be pressed twice before the "Slide to unlock" screen appears.
    This is intermittent and I can't pin down how to accurately reproduce the issue, but it seems to happen randomly. I have never experienced an issue where the "Home" button didn't work when pressed during normal operation, so I don't think it is a hardware issue with the button itself. Note that I had this issue before updating the device to 3.1.2 as well.
    I have auto-lock set to 3 minutes, with Passcode Lock on.
    The device is the 32GB model MC008C, updated with the latest 3.1.2 (7D11) OS.
    Cheers

    sorry to reply and intrude here but i cannot for the love of god find he new thread button. (maybe a mod will move me please)
    I recently restored my iPod touch and i didn't really watch the restore. I know the loading bar on ipod was nearly at end. Anyways, 10-15mins later i go to use my ipod and clicking the home button nothing displays.
    I then try to turn on, yet nothing. So googling, i left the battery to completely drain if there is any.
    I plug my ipod into my computer and nopthing happens, it does not wake up(turn on) or even charge. I have tried an Iphone wall charger, yet no response from my ipod touch as well.
    So i kept googling and i found out about some DFU mode, there was lots of different combinations on the web, i tried them all, yet my ipod does not respon. No noises, notifications or anything in itunes(if itunes closed, does not open up!)
    It has now been a good few days since it stopped working, and i cannot think is there anymore to do. It is still in warranty for a few months.
    Only problem is, i do not think i;m entitled to phone support, and the nearest genius for me is hours away.
    PS: my iPod touch was restored to version 3.2 (latest version if thats wrong <!-- )
    I have itunes 9.1
    Running windows 7 rc
    I have tried my ipod also on the following:
    My dual boot vista, another computer with vista and a Mac Pro.
    Can anyone suggest anything or help me please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Malcom

  • Iphone 4 home button does not respond, resetting fails to resolve issue

    the home button does not respond. i tried putting phone to sleep and waking up with home button (which worked, but then the home button does not return the screen to home page), a hard reboot with the home and power buttons, and finally a reset to factory settings and then synching again to my computer. the problem persists. 

    Bring it in for replacement.

  • When i double click home button, I can see many applications running. How do I terminate these?

    When i double click home button, I can see many applications running. How do I terminate these?

    Those are not necessarily running. It's a list of previously opened apps for the most part. You can flick the cards upwards to get rid of them.
