  • My screen is cracked and my home button is stuck down. Where can I get this fixed?

    On my iPod touch 4th G my screen broke in the bottom right corner and there are spider cracks all the way up to the top of my iPod screen. Also, now my home button is stuck down; a shard of glass probably is preventing the button from popping back up. Where can I get this fixed?

    Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending up the capacity.

  • My home button is stuck down

    How can I fix a home button that is stuck in the 'down' position?!?

    I was looking for a solution outside of regular business hours, not some f**k with 2500 points to give me a stupid answer.
    The nearest apple store is around 2 hours driving away.
    Fortunately, the people on the tech support phone line are helpful.....and it's still covered. New phone on the way.

  • HT1430 My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck.  Pressing down on the sleep/wake button does not give me the red slider to turn the ipad off.  Is there any other way I can reset?

    My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck.  Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad?  Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

    No the battery is non removable.
    Try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • My Ipod 4g home button is stuck!

    My ipod home button is stuck and i really dont wanna have to take it to the store i just went there in the spring to replace my first one. i cant get it unstuck ive tried blowing in it and pushing it down really hard and then releasing it fastly but to no avail it rarely responds now and its driving me insane. any suggestions?

    Tried the alcohol for a couple of days and it was only temporary fix.
    To get a home button on your screen, go to Settings--> General-->Assistive Touch, under Settings/General /Accesability...
    That will give you a little button on your screen that acts as a home button.

  • Iphone 4 power button is stuck down and iphone won't turn on

    My iPhone 4 power button is stuck down, and it won't come back up. The next best part is, my phone is either off or dead i don't know which, and i plug it into my computer/wall charger and nothing happens.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My home button is stuck so it cant work and when i am in the safari or app stire i dont know how to go back

    My home button is stuck so it cant work and when i am in the safari or app stire i dont know how to go back does anybody know how to get it un stuck?

    a temporary fix is to hold down the power button until you see a bar that says "slide to power off". slide the bar and wait about 2 minutes+then holding the power button when screen goes blank for around a minute? your device should now turn back on. you will be at the home menu.
    now to know how to fix the problem instead of avoiding it i am not sure. hope this temporarily fixed your problem
    is your device still in a 1 year warranty?

  • Buttons getting stuck down

    Since 2.0.2 (and even before I think) buttons have been getting stuck down after I press them. This doesn't happen very often- maybe once or twice a day- but this is a very major issue IMHO! Today I was in notes, looking at one of my notes (a to-do list) and I deleted a few characters. The delete button got stuck down and deleted almost everything in the note before I could get out of it. I am pretty ****** off because there was a lot of important information in that note.
    Is this a known issue, and will it be fixed soon?

    Have you tried doing a hard reset of the phone? (Hold down the sleep/wake button on the top right of the phone and the home button until you see the apple logo)

  • HT4061 ????  How do I power up my iPad?  My iPad won't power up. It just stays a black screen.  Tried the start up button, the home button, pressing them down and holding.

    ????  How do I power up my iPad?  My iPad won't power up. It just stays a black screen.  Tried the start up button, the home button, pressing them down and holding.

    Could be the battery is completely drained. Use the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Let it charge for at least an hour. Then, while it is still plugged in reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    If the device restarts let it remain on the charger until the battery indicates 100%. If it still will not turn on Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
