Home Button Making Clicking Sound

My iphone's home button is making a clicking sound when pressed. its not from the speaker of the phone but from the button itself. it works but it bugs me that it started clicking. is this normal? thanks

If the clicking beings to effect the performance of the button, then you should bring in the iPhone to your nearest Apple Store Genius Bar for a diagnosis. As long as there is no accidental damage, a defective button is covered under your one year warranty and/or your applecare extended coverage. Cosmetic issues do not make the unit eligible for in-warranty replacement.

  • IOS 7.1 Upgrade - home button double click not working most of the time

    Hi,
    Not sure, if anyone else had encountered this issue after upgrading to iOS7.1.
    I am using iPhone5S 32 GB and it was working fine with home button (double click, mostly used to see & close other applications running in background) till I upgraded to iOS7.1. After iOS7.1 upgrade, most of the time, I am unable to see running applications. After trying for 4-5 times, I managed to see running application
    Is there any fix or workaround for this issue?

  • My iphone is making clicking sounds when I try to slide it or tap on an app.  I can not make phone calls.

    I hit something on my Iphone to make it start talking.  I also was not able to slide the screen up or down right or left.  I looked around on the web and found out how to stop it from talking,  Now it is making clicking sounds when I tap on an app.  The screen will still not slide. I have to tap on an app about 5 or six times to make it do anything.  Now I can't make a phone call because the keys will not respond when I tap on them.

    i am sorry to say but there is no way to undo a software update to go back you have to go threw your phone provider and have then do a replacement on the phone and just not do the update. when they receive the phone they will send it off for testing and to have the bugs fixed 

  • Touch pad button wobble/clicking sound.

    Yeah so I have had my macbook for about 3-4 months and just recently the touch pad button is getting all wobbely and making an annoying clicking sound if i just touch it (not clicking something). Its VERY annoying. Basicly what i wanna know is if i can take it to the apple store or something and get it fixed?

    Do you have applecare? Problem is on something like this we can't really say what apple service will do about it. The reason I asked about applecare is if you had it you could call in and talk to apple service on the phone. With the regular warranty you only get 90 days free phone support. That is one of the reasons I am getting Applecare before my first year is up. I luckily have had no problems but I plan on having this computer for at least another 3 years applecare will be worth it. One problem after the first year and it's paid for itself. To me the phone support alone will be worth it.
    Thanks for the .

  • Iphone 5 Phone favorites no longer Home button double-click?

    Double-clicking the Home button on the iphone 5 no longer brings up the Phone Favorites.  Is there another shortcut way to do it or is the shortcut gone?

    Yes, it most certainly does, which is why I'm here in the first place.
    Apparently this is a feature that has been gone for a while, now that I see some older posts.  (I did try searching before posting but came up with nothing!).  Next I need to figure out how to close apps.
    Upgraded from iphone 3G so pardon my ignorance of recent and not-so-recent changes...

  • Home button making clicky noise.

    The home button on my iPhone 5s makes a clicky noise by touching the home button lightly like using the touch-id sensor. This is really annoying me and it started to make those sounds 1 day ago and I have not dropped my phone yet. Is there a easy way to fix this problem?

    Hi DanielAFGamer,
    If you are having unusual physical button behavior on your iPhone 5s, you may want to look into having it serviced, or at least evaluated. You may find the following page helpful:

  • Home button is clicking/sticky

    I just got my iPhone 5c a few days ago, and I haven't dropped it. But for some reason the home button started to click a lot, and its sticky. Kind of hard to push down on it. Any ideas why it's happening? Or if there's something I can do about it?

    Your device is still covered by warranty. Visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store to get it checked.

  • Home Button - Loud Click.

    Please try your home button and see if it clicks too loudly? Compared to my iphone 3gs, it is very loud and hard to press in. Coworkers can hear it.
    Ugh.
    This is one of those things that could be different on each phone.

    It appears they are using the same switch as on the iPad. I don't find it offensive in either case. If you are not happy return the phone. You don't want to keep your wife awake at night as someone suggested on the iPad forums. Frankly, I f rt, in bed louder than my iPad and iPhone home button click, but if it keeps you awake at night, you better return it.,

  • Home Button keeps clicking

    I own a 4th generation iPod Touch and recently my home button decided to go mad.
    It goes to the home screen and opens the task bar even if i'm not clicking it.
    I try to listen to music and the Voice Control panel comes up.
    When I press the button it goes all the way down and when I release it it comes all the way up again, nothing wrong with it.
    I've put the assistive touch, but it's of no help.
    Plus, it doesn't play music without the headphones anymore...
    What can I do?
    I already restored it and nothing happened.

  • IMac hard drive making clicking sound (audio sample)

    A couple of nights ago I realized my five year old iMac was making a sound I have never heard it make before. It is a scratching noise that I assume is coming from my internal hard drive (hard drive is stock, has never been replaced). It isn't a super loud noise, but it sounds like the noise some hard drives make when they are "searching" or "thinking". I'm wondering if my hard drive is beginning to fail, or if the problem could be something as simple as dust or dirt caught in the drive. An audio sample is in the link below, please help me diagnose my problem. Thanks!
    Audio sample: http://cl.ly/073d3U1e1t280M2X0m3F

    When you ran SMART Utility, were any of the sensors out of range or close to it, although not enough to trip the health measure? Just wondering. I once replaced an older hard drive that was showing error rates above normal, even when the drive was still 'verified'.
    Other than that, you've run several tests that would say the hardware is OK.  As GeekStacy said, new hard drive noises are typically not good. So I'd be sure you have a good backup regimen, and if the noises get yet louder or more noticeable, you can either run these various tests again or replace the hard drive.

  • Powerbook making clicking sound and running slow

    I have had my powerbook for 3 years. Just recently it started running very slow and spinning beach ball comes up alot. There is a clicking sound coming from the top left corner of the keyboard by the speaker. When the clicking starts is when the beach ball comes up. It doesn't happen all the time. This occurs about every couple of minutes and then goes away. Once the clicking noise goes away the computer runs fine. I have ran disk utility, onyx and techtools (no errors have come up). Nothing has seemed to fix the problem. Can anyone give me some advice on what might be the problem. Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    That sounds like a hard drive possibly beginning to fail. However, it's located on the left side under the palm rest. In the upper left corner of the keyboard, the only moving part is a fan, however, if that were doing something odd it shouldn't cause the beachball to come up, which leads me to think it's a hard drive issue. Next time you hear the ticking, see if it could be coming from under the left palm rest area.
    So, ensure that your important data is backed up, and do it regularly, if not doing that already. Assuming it is your hard drive, you can either live with it, or replace the hard drive. (Don't know if you have Applecare, since you said your system is 3 years old). You may have a 4200rpm drive in there today, with 5400rpm being mainstream today, and 7200rpm the faster option. Sizes go up to 160GB in 5400rpm and 100GB in 7200rpm. Seagates come with a 5 year warranty versus 3 year for most other drives.
    If you're handy, you can do the replacment yourself or an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple can do it. If Apple or AASP does the replacement, make sure they write on the service order that you want your old hard drive returned to you. Recently, there was a person who was surprised to find that Apple may retain the drive as a trade in on the replacement drive. Also, if it were me, I would specify I want a new drive and not a refurbished drive.

  • ISight making clicking sound

    I just bought an iSight yesterday for my PowerBook, and it seems to be emmiting a faint clicking sound. It took me a few minutes to figure out what the noise was, but when I put my ear to the iSight, it was clear that the sound was coming from that. Is this normal?

    Hello Graham Hall1,
    As Ian Bickerstaffe posted, the noise is the electro-mechanical cam focus and is a normal noise, but...
    It should not be doing it continously. This usually occurs when an object is too close or if the background has an unusually bright light source, such as a bright lamp shinning into the cam or perhaps an window w/bright light coming in. You will also, for a flicker, lose sound when the cam does focus. Normal, but should not be more than a couple of times until it finds focus and then settles down.
    Respectfully,
    Bill Gallagher

  • IPod Touch Home Button Loud Click

    We have just bought the latest iPod Touch 3rd Gen and an iPhone 3GS.
    The iPhone has a very quiet, soft to press, home button.
    However, the iPod has a much louder, hard to press, home button which is very distracting and disappointing for a £229 device.
    Does anybody else have this issue with iPod Touch?

  • MacBook making clicking sound when moved?! not the sms HELPP

    Today, i was using my MacBook and it started to make a clicking like sound when moved from side to side. I have had my MacBook for less then a week so I have no idea what could have happened. The computer has not beed dropped or anything! It is not the sms because I turned it off to see if the noise would still happen, and it did. Also this happenes when the computer is off. I cannot take it to a store because the closest one to me is an hour away.

    Normally, a clicking sound would be an indication of a bad HD or if the Superdrive is trying to read a damage disc. Personally, since its a week-old computer, I'd take a one hour drive than taking the chance of the HD failing after the warranty expired. You can try calling Apple as well (1800APPL). You should still have FREE phone support.

  • External speakers making clicking sounds

    Hi there, I need to know if anyone else has experienced this.
    I have external speakers (studio speakers) hooked up in this way: Headphone jack on imac > rca inputs on digi002 rack > speakers through main outputs of digi (alt source for those who know the digi hardware). Now I only notice it when there's no music or anything playing but I hear a strange clicking sound. Almost like the sound of the hard drive when it clicks around (I used to hear it on my old macbook). I can llive with that but when I turn my iMac off for the night, the speakers make this terrible screaching sound.
    Bear in mind that the speakers are fairly new, but I've used them enough to know this isn't a usual thing, and also that all of the volume levels are at very moderate levels, nothing is being blown to full anywhere.
    Also good to note that muting the imac, or turning the monitor level on the digi002 have no effect on the clicking, it keeps happening as i click around (usually notice it when I'm moving around in the finder).
    If anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear from you.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    I always do unless I'm just paused between songs or whatever. I still notice it in those times. I'm just curious to know why it's happening
