Home button not working on ipad 2 help

my home button has stopped working on my ipad 2, i have updated and restored but no joy, help

It could be a hardware problem but Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Home button not working on iPad 2 after iOS5.1.1

    I got iPad 2 updated with ions 5.1.1
    It worked fine for a week and now the home button does not work. I followed all posts here to reset, restore etc. but nothing helps. This is already a replacement iPad I got for my previous non functional iPad 2 which had battery issues, which apple swapped in store last week.
    Any advice ?

    Update -
    Called apple support and did not get steps to try and was asked to visit apple store. Went to apple store and since the problem is intermittent they did nothing.
    Now the problem is back.
    Also, I notice there are lot of Low memory diagnostics logs which I thik may be leading to home button not working BUT that iOS should handle as part of memory management. I restarted iPad 2 and still memory issue/ home button not working which seems weird
    I am really disappointed and not sure how to get this addressed.
    Apple, please help!

  • My home buttons not working!! Plz help!!!

    I was just playing around on my ipod touch(4th generation, 32 gb, black... Not that that really matters) and the home button just started getting harder and harder to use until now it doesn't work at all. I've tried rubbing alchohal and cleaning it with a toothpick already. Any other suggestions? Plz help me I'm getting really mad at it. Also, if nothing else works, will I be able to get a refund/exchange? I only bought it 3 months ago.

  • Home button not working on iPad 2

    I gad my iPad 2 for Christmas last year, so 11 months.
    Last month I started to get an issue where my home button wouldn't work. I admit I ignored it for a bit, but it can no longer be avoided.
    I'm so disappointed and hate faulty goods, so I now hardly use the iPad, which is a shame because I'd more or less disregarded the laptop in favour of this piece of kit.
    I just don't know how to mend it and return it to its loved status again.
    I was going to buy one for my husband for Christmas this year, but I've been totally put off.
    Can anyone help with an easy fix?  Is it to do with the update to iOS 6 as that seems to be the link?
    In addition, the thing will no longer connect to my air printer, saying none found!
    I've had enough now

    Calibrate Home button
    1. Open a stock application e.g. Calendar or Youtube
    2. Hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" control appears
    3. as soon as you see it, press the home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is force quit to the home menu

  • Home button not working on iPad

    My home button is only working intermittently on my iPad.  Is there a way to fix this at home?

    Apple will NOT repair your iPad.
    They don't repair them. If your iPad is still under warranty they will replace it with a refurbished unit of the same type meaning if you have a 32GB Pad 2, it will be replaced with a 32GB iPad 2.
    If the iPad is out of warranty, they will offer a replacement at a cost which starts at $249.00 in the U.S.
    My iPad is not eligible for warranty service. What are my service options?
    Apple offers two service options for iPads that are not eligible for warranty service.
    Battery Replacement Service
    If your iPad requires service only because the battery's ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, please refer to the Battery Replacement Service information.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPad is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. Replacement iPads have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see the AppleCare+ for iPad and Apple Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

    Hello Frajaisa
    I have highlighted below the troubleshooting steps for issues with the Home button slowly responding.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    The Home button is slow to respond
    If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
    If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
    If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
    If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone.
    Seek service is the issue is still occurring.

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

    Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

  • IPod home button not working

    Hi
    I have an iPod touch 4th generation and the home button isn't working. It's not the normal issue where it's stuck, or it won't function because you can't press it. The home button on my iPod is visible, as in the black button has been removed and I can see the tiny circular home button, (if you've ever seen the inside the iPod). When I press the tiny circular button, it doesn't work. Circuitry issues, maybe? If anyone could help, I'd be so grateful.
