Got my new 3 GS only two weeks go. My Home Button doesn't work properly. Any suggestions?

malfunction of the home button right from the beginning, when I received it from apple service (Apple Store Covent Garden, London), two weeks ago. The button doesn't work smoothly and needs repeated hard pushes to show reaction

  • I transferred my files from a G4 to a new macbook pro, but I can't access my old songs in itunes. I click on the mac tab to access mp3 and acc but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    They maybe corrupt, try transferring again from the g4. If iTunes is giving you an error then you need to authorize your computer with the same iTunes account as previously. Also, you could try exporting your iTunes library via iTunes on the g4.

    bostonshazzer,
    What model iPod do you have?  This feature is not supported on all models. You are positive you are holding down the Select (Center) button with the song highlighted until it disappears?  Are you sure you are in your On-the-Go playlist and not just a regular one?

  • My iPhone4 got wet. And now the home button doesn't work.

    Today it was raining and my iPhone4,which was in my pocket, got wet. And now the home button doesn't work. What should i do to fix it?

    I would place the iPhone in a big bowl of white rice, rather than in a baggie.  That's what my brother did with his iPod touch that got wet, and it fixed it.  The iPod touch works perfectly fine now, and the bowl is better because while the rice soaks up any wetness or condensation, the openness of the bowl gives way for evaporation.
    A good idea would also be to take out your SIM card, if at all possible.  Put it back in when you're ready.

  • Will Apple replace my brand new iPad 2 if the home button doesn't work?

    I recently got a brand new iPad 2 and as soon as I opened up and set it up I realized the home button didn''t work. However, sometimes the home button will start working and within minutes will stop again. I know this isn't normal for a brand new device.
    My iPad is still in warranty, so I'm wondering if I take it to the genius bar will they replace it?

    yes that's what happened to my ipod touch and they replaced it

    iPhone 3GS with preinstalled iOSx 5.0.1. Should I update to the new 5.1 or downgrade to the 4.0 version?

  • HT201272 All my books disappeared when I bought a new computer and the download previous purchases doesn't work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    This is a problem I'm sure many people have had.
    I purchased several books a few weeks prior to purchasing a new computer. When I set it up using the file I had been saving to for the last couple of year I see that several of the Audio Books I had bought some as late as a few days prior, were missing.
    They're on my purchase list on the apple site but it doesn't let me download them so im stuck. I'm sure apple would just love it if I gave it the old American't try and gave up and called a loss and purchased them all over again.
    I've been using iTunes to make these purchases since they started iTunes. Since this isn't the first time its happened maybe I should call it all a loss and go shopping for another medium.
    Anyones help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    You say "ipod nano" in the subject line, but this is the forum category for the iPod shuffle (and you later say "ipod shuffle" in the post).  Is your iPod a shuffle or a nano?
    Even if iTunes is not installed, an iPod should charge when connected to an active USB port that is supplying sufficient power.  What indicates to your that the iPod is not charging?

  • TS1559 My wifi button on my 4s is dimmed and I cannot turn on wifi. I have reset network setting and connected to PC iTunes and got updated iOS software. Still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    My wifi button on my 4s is dim and I cannot connect to wifi. I have reset network connections and connected to PC iTunes and downloaded ios7.4. I restarted the phone and it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    I have the same problem with my 4s too. Wifi is greyed out and won't switch on, plus Bluetooth doesn't work either. From what I can gather it's caused by either a broken or overheating WiFi chip. I'm planning to take mine to an Apple store to see if it can be repaired.
