Help, my home button won't work at all!!!
Hi,
my home button won't work at all, and when I tried to restart the phone, the message appears that this action won't work unless the phone is on the airplane mode. Can't really read the whole message cause it disappears after a second or so.
I put the phone on the charger and the USB connection also failed.
What happened?
It sounds like it's broken. Assuming you haven't jailbreaked or otherwise hacked it you should try a Restore or a Recovery. If you put it in the cradle and you can't restore it see: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797 for Recovery mode.
If this doesn't work call Apple or take it to an Apple store; it probably needs to be replaced.
If it HAS been hacked go to the source of your hacking tools for help; we aren't allowed to discuss it here.

You can try this.
Calibrate the home button
1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the home button. Hold until the red slider disappears.
As a a workaround, you can use Multitasking Gestures if you can't get the home button to work.

However, you might want to try restoring the iPad to see if that returns the functionality of the home button and/or take it to an Apple Store and let a Genius have a look at it. -
*** HOME button won't work all of a sudden - help!
I have a weird problem. My phone hasn't been dropped on the ground or in water but all of a sudden, the home button doesn't work anymore. Nothing feels broken on the phone (i.e. the button doesn't feel like it won't press down) but whenever I'm in an app and need to exist, pressing the home button does nothing! If I'm in my email and want to surf Safari, I have to reboot my phone - which is obviously very annoying.
I tried restoring my iPhone as both a new phone and from my latest backup but it still doesn't work - bummer. Is my phone broken or does anyone have any tips and tricks that could get it up and running again?
Thanks in advance for any help!Possibly a hardware problem. Mine developed that issue, although at first a really hard press worked. Apple replaced my phone.

Hello! So I've had my Generation 5 IPOD for nearly two years. Tonight after a shower I tried to charge my IPOD (thinking it had just died because it was short on battery anyway) but it didn't turn on. I would reboot it by pressing the power and home button but sad to say, my home button stopped working about a month ago. : ( After this, I tried connecting it to a charger, two computers AND I downloaded Recboot with the extensions for a PC/Windows, it still did not want to connect. I'm not sure what to do besides maybe taking it to a Apple Store and getting the home button fixed and try to reboot it manually as I always have in the past. Any advice? Right now it's black with no signs of connecting to any machines. If I can't get the home button fixed, could I wait until the battery drains for it to just get recharge? If so how long does it take for the IPOD battery to just die so I can do this? Granted it was always sorta dying before this happened (it was red.) so it shouldn't or wouldn't take too long right?
Please! : ( Any help would be appreciated. I live in a small town and the closet Apple store is about an hour away.If the screen and iPod does not show any life then letting the batter drain will not do anything.
If you tried another cable and tried ReBoot on another computer and still problem then your iPod has to be repaired/replaced

My home button won't work correctly after I plug the charger in
My iPhone 5s's home button doesn't respond correctly after i plug in the charger. I'm not sure what's wrong.
At first, it wouldn't charge so i had to find a different charger that i had ordered from amazon (not from apple) and it only worked when i plugged it in with one side. the other chargers that i have from apple do not work. the home button sometimes works correctly, but im sure that it starts to not respond correctly after i plug the charger in. i have tried almost everything i could find on the internet. im not sure if its a hardware or software problem. please help. thank youSorry but I'm not clear. Do you have more than one charger from Amazon? Did this problem start after you used the charger(s) you got from Amazon and now using the Apple brand chargers it doesn't work either? I'm wondering if the Amazon charger damaged the phone.

I've had my iPod Touch 4G for about 10 months now so the warranty is still in affect. The home button appears to be stuck or won't work anymore. I can press down on it and I hear a click but it's inresponsive. I've already looked up and tried numerous things to fix it, but nothing works. I have assistive touch but ever since I started using it, apps close or freeze within minutes of opening it.
If I bring it to an apple store or send it in, can they fix the home button or replace my itouch?
ThanksIf the ipod is defective then they will replace it.

Help, My Home Share Won't Work?
I have a two computers (laptop, desktop) on Windows XP, both running on the same Wifi.
I want to share songs from one to another,
and on the laptop, the Home share is willing to work,
and on the desktop, when I go to Preferences and click Sharing, it says the Bonjour won't work or something and I have to reinstall iTunes,
and I'm afraid of losing all my song files since most of them are from CDs.

My iPad 2 'Home' button ceased working - this means that any application stayed on the screen, and I hadto power the device off to access another app.
Later, I follwed some of the advice online, - powering it off while holding the 'home' button. It didn't appear to work - but eventually it did! What did I do right? Is this a sign of bad things to come?
It's 18 months old.http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/
is it brand new cuz i remember hearing how ppl were sold the fake display versions of ipads and ipods so it might be that if not then send a report in to apple for a fixing or replacement if within warranty it will be free -
My home button won't work. What do I do to fix it?
I tried powering off and restarting but nothing is doing the trick. Phone was fine last night and then this morning it would not go home.
Or it could be that the home button is uncalibrated or something. If it were stuck you could just replace it yourself, but I'd have an Apple Genius look at this one.
