Home button dont always work.

Hi. I have a strange problem with my Iphone 5. Sometimes the home button freeze and stop to work. But after a while i start working again. I tried to restart and  reinstall the software but the fail still coming back. Very thankful for any helps and tricks.

Seems to be hardware error. To be certain, Restore iPhone with iTunes 10.7 or 11 on computer. See if the function is better. If still a problem, make Genius reservation or make shipping arrangements and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution under Warranty. If you want to use a perfect Virtual Home Button while you wait, try Assistive Touch. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap the new small white screen button > Home.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen home button not always working and deletes all songs on iPod.

    I bought my ipod touch on may but since that day, the home button is not alway working and also sometimes when I sync my Ipod, it remove all the songs from it without asking me. What can I do? It is so frustrating..
    thanks in advance for help.

    Try:
    fix for Home button
    Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
    - 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 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
    Regarding the songs problem, Are you always syncing to one computer/iTunes library? If y sync to another computer/iTunes library your iPod will be erased and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.

  • Home button not always working

    does anyone else have the same problem where there home button is intermitent.
    Some times it works first time, other time a double tap won even bring up shortcut menu.
    press hard, no response, press light no response, next time pick up phone its ok.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Scratchless

    That's a somewhat common problem. You can take it to Apple for replacement (if you are under warranty) or put on your surgery gloves and attempt the repair yourself. Gizmodo recently posted a tutorial: http://gizmodo.com/5818876/ifixit-home-button-repair-gallery/gallery/1
    Best of luck!

  • Iphone 5 home button not always working

    My, recently replaced by the genius bar, iphone 5 has a home button when pushed sounds like it "sticks" and it doesn't register consistently. I find I have to push it several times to get it to work. I have reset the phone and reset the home button. I have not dropped it nor has it been in water.  Does this require another replacement or fix by the genius bar?  Thnx

    Bring it in and find out!

  • I have the ipod touch 5 ios 7. i reset my passcode but i dont remeber what it is. i dont have itunes on my computer and my home button doesn't work. how do i reset my passcode or ipod?

    i habe the ipod touch 5 ios 7. i reset my passcode but i dont remeber what it is. i dont have itunes on my computer and my home button doesnt work. how do i reset my passcode or ipod?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com if your home button isn't working (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0ef36f).

  • My home button is not working sometimes and at the store they dont want to take it for repair because the problem did not show up at that time

    When normally powering the phone, there would not be a loading bar, you would just see the Apple logo. You can try a reset of the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
    You can take the phone to Apple, by making an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the hardware checked. Apple handles warranty and post-warranty issues, not Verizon. Have Apple look at the hardware to see if there are any problems.

  • What do I do with my iPod Touch 4g when the home button does not work and when I plug it in to charge it always says that charging is not avaible with this accesory?

    Take it to a reputable third-party repair shop. Apple will not touch it after you have opened it up and tinkered with the works.

  • 1st Gen. iPod touch wont turn on. Home button doesn't work. Can't reset.

    Hi there.  My 1st generation iPod touch wont turn on.  The battery has drained completely, and the few times this happened in the past, I could just reset it by holding the home and top buttons, the iPod would turn on, I could plug it in, and then it would charge--no problems.  However, now the home button does not work, so I cannot reset it. When I plug it in to the charger, the Apple logo appears for about 20 seconds, then disappears.  Also, if I hold the top button for about 2 seconds, the same thing happens (Apple logo appears for about 20 seconds, then disappears).  So, it doesn't turn on, wont reset due to the home button not working, and can't connect to the computer or iTunes.  However, it still has some life in it because the Apple logo always appears when it's plugged in or when I hold the top button.  Can anybody help?  Thanks.

  • HT1476 i-phone3 wont recharge; initially home button wouldn't work. Applied the 'auto-touch button thing' via settings. This worked until I ran out of battery life. Now it won't recharge either via laptop (usually does) or wall switch. Just a blk screen.

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • Stuck on apple logo and Home button doesn't work, help please?

    Well, I dropped my iPod Touch 4g by accident and since that day, the home button hasn't really been working that well. Its very hard to use since you have to press it in really hard to get it to work and sometimes it doesn't even work at all. Anways, I was skyping with my girl and I didn't notice that I had to charge the iPod and it died on me so I was like what ever its normal and started to charge it. When it turned on, it got stuck on the Apple logo and its been there for more than a day now? What can I do? I know about the Press Home + Sleep button together but the Home button doesn't work at all anymore. I tried everything really. I tried to connect it to itunes and see if I could restore it but it won't recognize it no matter where I connect it. Tried it on 3 different computers and none worked at all.  I can't take it to an Apple store since there isn't any close to where I live and I really don't have anyone to take me there. So is there any other solution to fix my problem at home? or is it messed up completely? Someone please help me

    I have this same issue. But also, it isn't just that the lock/home button stops working, all buttons stop working. Even if you switch it to silent sounds are still played. I just got my iphone Thursday. Went to school the next day and pulled it out, it happened while it was locked I guess because my screen was black and I couldn't do anything! Thought it died already! This was around 12. Finally I pulled it out of my pocket again at around 3 and it showed the Apple logo and acted like it had just started back up. Which is what always happens after I get stuck playing a game or something. Help please, has happened two or three times just today.

    If it is one year old minus one day it is still under warranty. If it is more than a year since you purchased it then yes, the warranty has expired.
    Millions of iPads have been sold. Most continue to function long after their warranty has expired. Check the many requests about updating the iOS on the original iPad on these forums and you'll see that there are many iPads still working after three years. My iPad 2, which I had for over two years is still working well for my son in law who took it over from me when I bought a new one.
    Given that there will always be a few iPads that fail early. Most of those will be covered under warranty. But some will fail after the warranty has expired and before the owner expected it to. I'm sorry to hear that you are in this category. Take your iPad to an Apple store and have it looked at. They will provide you with alternatives, one of which is to purchase a like model to the one that failed at a discount. You can then know your options and make the best choice for you.

  • IPhone 3GS Home Button Issue - iPhone Thinks Home Button Is Always Pushed

    Alright, this isn't the normal(home button doesn't work) question. Listen...
    Customer brought this iPhone 3GS in to replace the non-working home button. Before I did I tested it with a working screen assembly(obviously including a new home button) and it DIDN'T work. So I replaced the dock connector and speaker/mic assembly(where the home button makes it's connection. And that still doesn't work.
    I have figured out now that the problem is NOT that the iPhone doesn't recognize the push of the home button but instead it thinks that the home button is always being pushed. When hold the power button(only) the iPhone will restart(which requires home+power).
    Since I've tried replacing the home button and the dock connector is this problem with the logic board?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    HI iFixItMan,
    I have the same problem andmine was stuck in a recovery loop and it took me about 7 hours to get workingsoftware, now I have the phone fully working the home button has no functionwhen in phone mode, I have soft reset when in phone mode and the home buttonworks (resets phone) - Power + Home button pressed together)).
    The home button also works whenthe screen is lifted from the connector for DFU mode and soft reset; I’mthinking there are two connections made to the logic board one for system(software reset and DFU) and one for phone connection.
    Not changed the dock or thescreen assembly due to thinking which part I need to buy :/, don't want to keep buying parts then having to keep them if they don't work
    Thanks again

  • I have a big problem, my iPhone4 home button doesn't work anymore.

    I went to use my phone this morning, as per usual, and the home button would not work.
    Why? Does anyone know how to fix it?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    If you home button presses down but does not work then restore it back to it's factory settings and set up as new- it might be just a software issue.
    If the home button is stuck or hard to press than it is a hardware issue that if in warranty you can get it replaced for free, if not they will replace for $149
    or if you are eligible for an upgrade you can always do that.
