Having trouble with the home button

I'm having trouble with my home button. It works when it wants to. Has anyone else had this trouble?

Try these three very basic troubleshooting steps and see if any of them help.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
This involves using fhe home button but try it anyway .....
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 - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. If you have multitouch gestures turned on, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the task bar.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap above the task bar. Restart the iPad.

    Sure. Take it back. If you got it from new it has a warranty.
    Or describe the problem fully in case we can help.  "Having trouble with the Home button" doesn't give much of a clue....

  • Is anyone having trouble with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1 OS?

    Is anyone having problems with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    You will not belive how I accidently solved this - !!!
    Yes I had the problem immediately after the 5.1.1 'cloud' upgrade, the problems started (on my iphone 4) ... I followed the 'get power down button, then hold HOME for 30 secs' solution, but no result, nothing seemed to work and I was starting to get a bit agressive with the keep it pushed, multiple double click frustrations, icopybot multigesture solutions etc. and paid money ... but this comedy solution now works ...
    I discovered it because I ordered a waterproof case for my iphone for my motorcycle ... I've just fitted it to my iphone and all the problems have gone ??? what! ... so wondering why I looked at what the home button on the casing was doing - it was pressing ACROSS the home button i.e. it converted my finger point into a wider 'PRESS
    so taking the new case off, instead of using the point of my thumb to press HOME, I used the flat of my thumb to emulate it ....and initially nothing, so I wondered if it wa making better 'cross button' contacts, so I licked my thumb, wiped it and then tried again! - it worked!
    I can't explain it but it seems to work - try it! if the double click on HOME doesn't work lick your thumb dry it and try again! I've just done it again
    what a mad techno world we live in! :-)

  • Anyone having trouble with the home button after upgrading to Ios6

    Is anyone having problems with the home button not working correctly after down loading ios6?

    I haven't but try resetting...
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart your iPad.
    No data will be lost as a result of a reset.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the home button on a 6?

    when I first got my iPhone 6, the home button was just like my other iPhones have been, my iPad, my sons iPhone 6, etc. when you pushed it, you can feel it move and you feel a little dull clck. Now the the home button on my iPhone 6 has no movement or click. It still functions, but I'm worried it is on its way to failing and if I wait to address the issue until it completely fails, then it will be out of warranty. Has anyone else experienced any problems with the home button?

    If you believe that your device has a defect or malfunction, contact Apple now.  This forum is not for taking polls.  Contact Apple for support options.

Have you tried contacting Apple Support regarding the inability to send a text message to iPhone users? Apple can be reached at (800) 275-2273.
    In addition, do you get a certain error message when your WiFi stops working? Have you verifed that Auto Switch network is disabled? To disable this setting simply to go Settings > Wi-Fi > Tap the Menu Key(to the left of the home button) > Select Advanced and it is called `Auto network switch.

  • Problems with the home button and generally freezing and shutting down often.

    I have had this iPad 2 for around 3 months. After about a month I noticed that I was having to press the home button multiple times in order to get it to respond. It is now at a stage where I have to press it as many as 12-13 times. It's won't do this every time but all day for maybe 3 out of 5 days the other times it works fine.
    As well as this I have also had issues with the Internet shutting down, Skype going crazy, picture albums popping up and then vanishing and so on. I'm not a computer wiz but I would describe it as going crazy two or three times a day.
    While I was in a shopping centre about a week ago I asked about the problems in an apple store. The man was very helpful and asked if I had it on me so he could look at it. Unfortunately I didn't be he said I could bring it back whenever I like and it would take around 30 mins for someone to check it out. He said most Likley they would just give me a new one and that would be that. So of course happy that it could be sorted I went home. Today I decided to drive the nearly two hours down to Brisbane after having a nightmare time trying to Skype my friend this morrning. I hot to the store and asked if it could be looked at only to be told I need an appointment. I showed the card that I had been given and explained what I had being told. To cut a long story short he agreed that I had been told that but said the assistant clearly didn't know what he was on about and that I should come back. I offered to wait but dispute the shop being more full of staff watching movies and downloading songs then actual customers I was basically denied any sort of help and told to call the office to arrange an appointment.
    Sorry to rant! I just thought that apple were renowned for good service? 5 hours later I'm home with the same issues.
    If anyone has had similar problem with the device or even customer service I would be intrested.
    Regards,

    Me too!  I had many bugs and returned my phone for a brand new one that did this the first time it was turned on at the Apple store.  I was told it is a "software issue" and to "reboot the phone" if it continued to happen.  It happens almost every time I try to use my phone.  I've rebooted three times in a row some days.  Nothing really seems to help.  I keep waiting for an update.

  • Having trouble with Yahoo home page sign in. Some time it brings up my wife's Yahoo log in instead of my log in how can I fix this?

    When I open Firefox it is suppose to take me to my Yahoo home page. But it opens up showing my wifes Yahoo sigh in page in stead of mine. Having trouble with Yahoo home page sign in. Some time it brings up my wife's Yahoo log in instead of my log in how can I fix this?

    Did your wife tick the box on the Yahoo sign in page to remember her for two weeks?
    It would be best two have two separate Firefox profile folders, one for each of you to prevent such problems.<br />
    Then you also do not have problems with deleting or changing bookmarks.

  • I'm having trouble with the repeat function on iTunes 11.

    I'm having trouble with the repeat function on iTunes 11.  The buttons are there but will not allow me to repeat an album when selected under artist from remote app on iPhone.  I have downloaded the update for the remote app but the repeat function now repeats all albums under that artist name.  Selecting the album directly under albums works but is not as easly to access.  Any thoughts?

    Sorry, downgrading is not supported.

  • I am having trouble finding the Accept button for my licensing agreement and would like to accept.

    I am having trouble finding the Aceept button for my licensing agreement and would like to accept.

    Well, it's probably below the table... Sounds like you didn't consider the system requirements and installed on a system with too small screen resolution. If so, only using a larger res may possibly revela the magic button...

  • I HAVE A MAC G5 WITH V10.4 TIGER OS, I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LETTER "N" ONLY WHEN I USE CAPS AND SHIFT KEYS DOSE IT TYPE THE LETTER "N"SE

    HAVE A MAC G5 WITH V10.4 TIGER OS, I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LETTER "N" ONLY WHEN I USE CAPS AND SHIFT KEYS DOSE IT TYPE THE LETTER "N". I HAVE CONNECTED A NEW KEYBOARD BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

    You might look at "Keyboard Shortcuts" in the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane and see if somehow the lower case n has been inadvertently assigned to something.
    Probably the best solution would be to click the "Restore Defaults" button.
