Edit Home Screen ..... Dismiss button is stuck on my screen

I just upgraded my 3G phone to 2.1.
Since I have upgraded, I have not been able to use my phone at all. I have a window displayed on my phone.
Edit Home Screen
To rearrange icons, touch and hold any icon until it starts to wiggle, then drag icons to desired locations. Drag an incon to the far right to create additional Home screens. Press the Home button when done.
Dismiss
I can not press the Dismiss button to close the window. Nothing happens when I press the Dismiss button. It doesn't look like it recognizes that I am touching the screen at all. I can't do anything with the phone until I get rid of this missage

Try a reset - press and hold the sleep/wake and home buttons for ~10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt).

Stuck at "Edit Home Screen"

Just bought a new 3G iphone, once I got done setting it up in itunes it came up with a screen that says "Edit Home Screen" and I can't get it to go away. Any ideas?

Did you ever figure out how to solve this problem? I am now having the same problem. My iPhone is completely unusable as whenever I start up it goes to this screen, with a "dismiss" button that doesn't do anything. I have tried all of the troubleshooting tips, but nothing works.

Iphone 5 ios 6.1.4 edit home screen keep prompting.

My iphone 5 started prompting edit home screen ocassionally. I have to keep pressing the dismiss button. I will like to know why is this message keep appearing and what can i do to stop it.
My iphone encountered missing battery percentage indicator recently without touching any setting on the phone. i went into the setting to activate it. Once i activated it, this is the first time the edit home screen message appear. Now and then, the edit home screen message will appear ocassionally when i unlock my iphone from the lock screen. Sometime i cant even press the answer call when the phone is in lock screen mode.
Kindly give me some advices or solution to this. Thanks

I did not jail break my iphone.
This is a sample of the message that keep popping up as and when.

Iphone 3g Dismiss button stuck. Also no service available. Help?

This is has been doing my head in! I've just bought this iphone from Ebay, upon turning it on you unlock the screen and it comes up with the whole rearranging icons and whatnot. But the dismiss button is stuck and nothing works! People have come up with a solution for this problem, however their solution doesn't help me because it says I have no service so it can't recieve messages or anything. I don't think I'm able to take it back either and I don't want to sell it again.
Some one help? Like actually help I don't want any ******** answers. Thaaaanks!

By "dismiss" button, do you mean the home button?
Have you tried power cycling the phone?
Have you tried restoring as new via iTunes?
Is the device under warranty?

I tried restoring my iPod, but it told me it was unsuccessful. Now it's stuck at the connect to iTunes screen. I've tried holding the home and lock buttons, just until the unit turns off, and until the unit restarts. What do i do?

My screen is cracked and my home button is stuck down. Where can I get this fixed?

On my iPod touch 4th G my screen broke in the bottom right corner and there are spider cracks all the way up to the top of my iPod screen. Also, now my home button is stuck down; a shard of glass probably is preventing the button from popping back up. Where can I get this fixed?

Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending up the capacity.

How to edit the buttons on iPod Touch home screen

How do you move around/delete icons on the iPod Touch home screen?

Hold one of the buttons until they all wiggle, drag around as desired (also to new home screens) and press home button to stop the madness.
This is all provided, however, that you have the 2.0 or the January Upgrade.
Hope this helps.

IMac stuck in home screen - mouse & keyboard don 't work after Apple Update

I just updated my iMac by hitting the Update button in the left upper screen.
After collecting 98.1 Mb of Update-tools i had to restart my iMac.
During shutdown it installed the components, as normal.
Once restarted, it brought me back to the home screen, where everything looked
normal. Problem is, that the iMac doesn 't respond to my mouse and keyboard anymore. Cursor is left of the apple in the left upper screen and doesn 't move an inch.
I discovered during a couple of restarts, that immediately as the apple appears in the white screen ... that Caps Lock modus is switched on. I am not able to switch it off.
Who knows what's wrong ? Please don t tell me to use my OS Tiger cd's .. because i later installed proper Leopard version, but these cd's are not with me at this moment.
HELP !

Hi !
Well, it is the wired keyboard and wired mouse. I tried as you told me,
but up untill now there 's no difference and everythings' still stuck ..
I tried the hardware test that you can do with CD 1 .. and everything
seems to work fine. At that point ( after startup hold D-button ) you can
control both mouse and keyboard.
When you then choose for startup from Mac OS Hardrive ... the whole problem
starts again. Caps Lock is ON ( green light ) from the moment you enter the
home screen.
The problem i have is that the original cd's that came with this imac intel duo core .. are OS Tiger. A friend of mine clean installed Snow Leopard 6.1. so i can t reinstall on a short term. I also would regret it if all my files would get lost.
Thanks for your quick respond. Please help me out !
Roger
