Hold & Home Button Acting Up Seriously...

Morning,
As of late, my hold button has been seriously acting up.
When i click it, it doesnt respond, then i try clicking the home button afterwards & it just takes a screensave. (White flash).
Then yesterday it became worse; it locks itself at will & brings up the "slide to turn off" option whenever it pleases. Even when i'm using apps or connecting it to a laptop.
Now its stuck on an app & wont stop taking screensaves.
Whats WRONG!!?
Do i have to reset, etc? Or do i have to take it back to apple?.
Thanks
(If you need more info, please ask. Thanks)

I did a reset (through ITunes) and now the sleep button is completely irresponsive.

  • By the way, just tried to reboot like what other said to hold home button

    By the way, just tried to reboot like what other said, to hold home button & on/off button for 10 secs, no apple sign appears, screen stil stuck as it was ! ????

    If your iPad has stopped responding, and is well charged, try recovery mode as described here:

    Again, first, make sure you have tried the reboot while the iPad is well charged.

  • Youtube app not working "error tap to retry" on ipad 4. Tried holding home button and off together and delete and download agin both didn't work

    Youtube app not working "error tap to retry" on ipad 4. Tried holding home button and off together and delete and download agin both didn't work

    Oh phooey. I had the same problem, so I decided to delete and reinstall. Only to discover that Google's YouTube app no longer supports anything below iOS 6. This is a problem since I'm running an original iPad.
    Yes, I realize that my version of iOS still has the old YouTube app. But it's not the same. For one thing there are a lot of ad-supported videos that will only play in the new app.

  • Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

    Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
    - Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.

  • Hi apple user. I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Tried hold home button with sleep button but it doesn't get back my safari bookmarks. I also have reset without erasing my iPad data but still doesn't work. Help me get back my safari iPad bookmarks.

    Hi, I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Have tried reset without erasing data and hold home and sleep button together but when go to safari all safari bookmarks still lost. Is there any case help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks ? Currently my safari is hanged, can't surf webs or anything. I saw the safari tab on iCloud is on, but I don't know using iCloud. Please help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks. I have contact Apple but could not set chat session. I have my Apple ID registered same with iCloud, also same during the time I have all iPad safari bookmarks lost. My iPad never synced on computer since I bought it with set at local store. Please help me get my iPad safari bookmarks back, thanks.

    Hi, I quitted Safari and press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously unti the Ipad turn off and on with the logo Apple appears but it has hanged on and fixed to the point. I do it again hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously and the Ipad turn off and on again with the Apple logo but it still is hanged on the same point. I have do it a few more time, it still hanged to the same point for few hours with no change (like picture):
    I think my Ipad is fault now. I guess I must connect it to the computer with itune, or something. So my case is this: at the moment everytime I hold the Home and Sleep buttons the Ipad always off and reappear with the Apple logo and be hanged on (like the pic), and I need restoring my Ipad Safari bookmarks... so I guess I need using Itune or something to get back the Ipad then using Icloud or blah. Please guide me for the step, Im not sure if connect to PC, if any that my Ipad data would lost, or is there anyway that I also can get back Ipad Safari Bookmarks after connecting to PC, also the how using Icloud. There is no Apple store or service store in my country so I think I must do it my self. Feel free to share your guide, thanks.

  • Why does my home button act without clicking?

    My home button seems to have a mind of its own. My apps shut down, voice control popps up..etc all without touching the home button.
    It will even happen when the phone is on my desk.

    Try resetting it: hold on/off and home buttons 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), release and wait for it to restart.

  • Unable to take screen pictures as instructed, holding home button and pressing sleep button?

    1.  Unable to take screen pictures as instructed, holding the home button and pressing the sleep button doesn't work.
    2.  Siri doesn't respond when holding the phone to ear.

    1.  Unable to take screen pictures as instructed, holding the home button and pressing the sleep button doesn't work.
    I do it the other way around. I press and hold the Power button and then very quickly press and release the Home button.
    2.  Siri doesn't respond when holding the phone to ear.

  • Holding Home button down to Close Apps

    Hi everyone, i have recntly purchased an iPhone and have read thousands of posts to just get all the info i can. I saw somewhere that said if you hold down the Home button it closes the app, rather then just suspending it. Coming from a Windows Mobile Device, i hate the memory leaks caused by apps staying open in the background. Now i know the iPhone does things differenlty by suspending it but still is there any harm to this habit of holding down the Home button rather than just hitting it.

    I too know memory leaks can and will happen. I however instead of doing the force quit with holding the home button, I have opted for the Reboot (not turning off and on) method of at least once a week.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5851978#5851978
    Before doing that, I would get issues with some apps (Safari most of all), but now it is very rare I get an issue with any application. If one ever does happen most times it has once again been with Safari and with some site I have never visted before that seems to be very bloated with ads and other plugins. When that happens I reboot right then just to get a clean slate again.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    If you try these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

  • Home Button Acts up Need some help please

    Hello,
    My iPhone 3GS keeps hitting the home button by itslef and wont let me do anything and I have tried resetting my phone and everything but doesnt work what do I do. My iPhone is currently at iOS 5.1.1.

    If you've taken all the recommended troubleshooting steps including restoring your phone as NEW and you still have problems, then it's likely a hardware issue.
    Bring your phone and $149 (if you're outside the warranty period) to Apple for exchange.

  • Holding home button for five seconds closes the application?

    I've read this a few times by doing a search. Where can I find this info on Apple's site that explains it?
    How exactly does it work? Closes the application? Say I close Safari that way-- when I open it again should I get a blank page or will it be at the last page visited again?

    There have been a few cases reported where mail consumes power even after you tap the Home button; as if it is running in a loop. If your battery life seems very short you might try force-quitting mail to see if that fixes it. But other than that there is no reason to force-quit applications, and there are reasons not to (e.g., if you force-quit mail while it is retrieving messages it may leave the server lock set, so other mail clients cannot retrieve your mail until the server times out.)

  • Ipt 1g home button acting weird (1 presss equals 2)

    ok i have the ancient ipod touch 1g, and the home button has seemed to die on it, when you half press it in it works, and the button is really weak, so half way is easy pressed in by mistake, and when you press it with normal strength and push in all the way like normal, it comes up with the music menu, i know it isnt software b'cos the ipod casnt detect half presses and i have already just restored. i am willing to do anything to it now, i will probably open it up, but am not sure if there is some other easy fix, has anyone else had this problem? so again its when you press it, it regesters it as twice, sometimes 3 as the menu comes up then dissapears half a second later

  • OS 4.0: HOME button acting weird and inconsistently since updating

    The new double click for multitasking is not working properly for me - sometimes I get the new multitasking bar; but most of the time I don't. Sometimes I'll get it with just one click, other times after clicking THREE times?!! Its so annoying. I'm on a 3G 32gb Touch and I updated with no problems at all; but everytime I double click the Home button I just get the search feature coming up instead - prior to updating I had the Home button set to get me there via a double click, but I've attempted to change that setting and I've noticed that the option to customise the Home button click function has been removed?!! Basically, multitasking is a lottery as far as my Home button is concerned, I have to keep trying different Home click combos to get it to appear and I'm regretting updating at all.
    Please help!

    Well that was a waste of time.
