  • HT1212 iPod disabled, computer gone, home button broken

    iPod touch 4th gen was disabled a long time ago because I forgot the password and kept trying to guess it. It now says "iPod is disabled- connect to iTunes". Well, the computer that it was origanally synced to has been donated. It was not connected to Find My iPhone or iCloud. Also, the home button doesn't work so I was using Assistive Touch. The help FAQ that popped up said to do this:
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Well, my home button is broken.... Can it be fixed?

  • IPod disabled and home button broken

    I have an iPod touch (4th generation) which I forgot the password of. I kept trying it and finally after like 4 "iPod disabled for 60 minute" screens it says "iPod disabled please connect to iTunes" Which doesn't work because it says enter in a password. I've read online putting your iPod touch into DFU mode and connecting to iTunes and it will detect it and you will be able to restore. Which doesn't work because my iPod touch doesn't have a functioning home button. I've tried some apps that force your iPod into DFU mode such as Recboot and Redsn0w. Which don't work. Recboot just errors me and Redsn0w says it only supports A5 devices and higher (My 4th gen iPod has A4 processor) Please help and thanks a lot to whoever answers.
    TL ; DR : HOW DO I RESTORE MY IPOD TOUCH WITH A BROKEN HOME BUTTON WITHOUT USING ITUNES, FIND MY IPHONE, REDSN0W, OR RECBOOT?!???

    Sorry that I forgot it

  • I have the iPad 2 and it keeps dying, when it dies it wont turn back on, it shows the apple sign but that is it. THen it shuts off and does the same thing over again, I have tried holding the sleep/awake button along with the home button! HELP!!!

    Please help!

    I'm sorry, you are correct I am trying to restore my ipad because it stopped working.   We thought the battery was dead so we plugged it into the wall charger.  All it does when plugged in is flash the apple logo like it is going to start up and then shut off.  It repeats this every few seconds while it is plugged into the wall.  I let it charge overnight and still nothing.
    When I hold the power button and the home button down together while the ipad is plugged into the wall, it does flash then after I release the power button the connect to itunes screen comes on.   But when I connect it to my computer it goes blank.   itunes does not recongnize my ipad when I plug it into the computer.  I have used the same cord to plug in my other devices and itunes recongnizes them so it isn't the usb cord.
    It seems as if my system has crashed and I think this may just be an apple service trip for me.  But thanks so much for the advice.   =D

  • IPod Touch 5 won't turn on and home button broken

    Hello,
    So my iPod Touch 5 has been having accumulating issues lately. I've only experienced this issue once before about a year ago. My iPod Touch goes into a state where it can't be turned on by the power button. I've looked up solutions online several times. While the next best thing for me to do is to hold the power button along with the home button in order to restart it, my home button has been jammed for about a year now. I've been using assistive touch for a long time. The iPod does not respond to being charged nor being plugged into my computer. I've had to wait until the battery completely ran out before I could start charging and using it again. This issue has been occurring more and more often, and it's really hindering my ability to keep up with emails, games, and many school-related projects.
    I've had this iPod Touch 5 for about 1.5 years now. The home button being jammed was an issue that occurred during the original 12-month warranty that came with buying the product back in the summer of 2013. I thought it was alright to just go with assistive touch for a while, but the jammed button became an issue that just became worse and worse until the button cannot even be pressed anymore. By this time, the 12-month warranty period was over. (This is the 2nd Apple product I've had power/sleep button issues with.)
    I live in Chicago, and the cold weather is starting to set in. However, it was still over ~25 degrees F when this happened. I feel that this issue is not so much weather related because it has happened to me twice during comfortable summer weather.
    I have a feeling that I may have to go in to the Apple Store in order to get help with this, but the potential repair or replacement fee is probably going to be terribly high. Any ways I can prepare for this visit before going in? Is there anything else I can do at home to get my iPod to live its life again?

    My home button broke too after 13 months. The iPod's been lagging and slowing down a lot but for a $300 device, it shouldn't be breaking after a year. Just today it was working ok but then all of a sudden it's not turning on, its not responding to the power button, being charged, or being plugged into the computer, don't know what to do either

  • Ipad Mini Home Button Broken

    My daughters ipad was bought in November 2012 and the home button has broken, when I say broken its not frozen or anything it simply doesn't click.  Now I know that its out of warranty but this is defective hardware in my opinion, anyone know if they'll replace it?  We've got two iPhones, three iPads and two iPods and this is the first incident of its kind.

    If it has been like it since you bought it, you should have taken it back. If it is still in warranty, take it back, if it is not, there is little you can do except to pay for an out of warranty repair.

  • Home button broken before i cracked my screen

    I have an iPhone 5s, and its still under warranty, however my home button was broken on the 20th, on the way to my christmas holiday trip, and today (25th) i dropped my phone and the screen cracked very badly.
    If i took it to apple, will they replace my phone with a new one as they usually do for hardware repairs?
    My main concern is that they would think that i'm lying.
    Is my chances dependant on their understanding of my situation?
    Thanks a lot!
    Merry Christmas

    It would honestly depend on a lot of things. In my experience, they would replace (or fix) it.
    If they don't, I would be very surprised actually!

  • Permanently Disable Home Button? Help stop the mayhem!

    My home button thinks it's being pushed constantly (closing apps, turning on voice control, bringing up the task bar and search screen, taking screen shots when I press the lock button, etc) but then it works less than half the time I am actually trying to use it. I can't even listen to music because voice control turns itself on. It constanty lights up when in lock position and voice control keeps coming on. It randomly started a few days ago for no reason at all. I want to permanently disable the home button and use assistive touch only (this seems like the most practical way to stop the issue). Please help!!

    In that case, you may want to call the AppleCare number and deal with it that way.  If they can diagnose it over the phone and determine it is a hardware issue, they can arrange shipment of a replacement and the return of your current phone (you will have to give them a credit card which they will release the hold on as soon as the old one is received, since it is technically a warranty exchange).
    Worst case would be they require you to send it in for evaluation, in which case you would have some period without a phone at all.

  • 1st generation ipod touch home button broken?

    My Ipod touch 1 gen's home button is not working. It will return to the homescreen if I press it hard enough. Is there anything I can do?

    Try:
    fix for Home button
    iPhone Home Button Not Working or Unresponsive? Try This Fix
    - If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch
    - If not under warranty (which I doubt since it is an old iPod)  Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    You can do it an an Apple store by:
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or sent it in to Apple. See:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Service FAQ
    - There are third-party places like the following that will repair the Home button. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    I doubt it is worth the cost of getting an old 1G iPod fixed. Since there are very few apps that can be purchased now for the 1G

    You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
    Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Apple Icon won't go but home button broken

    I have an ipod touch 4th gen.  It has the apple logo stuck and won't go any further.  I can't use the start button and home button to reset as the home button no longer works.  I've tried plugging it into the pc but it will not connect.  Any ideas?

    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Slide to unlock not working but I can slide to answer calls (power button broken) HELP!

    Can anyone please help? 24 hours before my upgrade is due and my iPhone 5 has decided it won't let me slide to unlock...I can slide to answer a call no problem weirdly so Im thinking it isn't a fault with that part of the screen? My problem is compounded by the fact that the power on/off button hasn't worked in a while. this hasn't been a major issue until i am now trying to at least back up and then restore my phone. I can't enter the passcode to restore it! And i can't try lots of the suggestions I've seen which is holding the home and power button together as my power button doesn't work. I can't even sell the phone as faulty at the moment as i have no way of getting all my data off it!

    Take the device to Apple to address the hardware issue.

  • E51 power on/off button broken -help!

    The power on/off button became more and more difficult to use, until it stopped working altogether. I took it in to be repaired and they said they couldn't as it was part of the system board. So is there any way to power it back on without using the button, so that I can backup the contacts?
    Also, there was one video I took with the camera which I hadn't backed-up. I took the memory card out and inserted it into another mobile in the hope that it was stored there, but alas not. So where is it stored? 

    you cant turn on any other way
    where was it you sent phone too its not part of the system board
    take it to an official nokia care centre
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Power and Home Button No Longer Work On Iphone 5, Fixable?

    My power and home button are no longer functioning. Volume works. I'm currently using the phone by plugging it in and out to access the unlock screen. Once in I use the accessibility option that adds a home button to the touchscreen. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the issue could be. Holding power and home does not work.
    Would replacing the home button ribbon help? I don't see it since they both quit working at the same time. What binds the two together? Do they share a connector? Could it be a software issue? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.

    There are many videos and guides about that, you can do it by yourself, its simple if your pattient, you can buy the replacement on ebay or in ifixit.com
    this is the guide, hope it can help you.
