Home button on ipod touch

Sometimes (starting today) my home screen and power screen button take photos when I push them (not together at the same time) making it hard to exit apps or put it in sleep mode. I have tried force restarting the ipod and that did nothing, I also restored to factory settings then reinstalled from my last back up which was from 2 weeks before this problem started. any other suggestions as to what is causing this and possible soutions?

If it's still happening after restoring the iPod touch and setting it up as a new device, it'll need service.

  • What happens to the apps when I press the home button on iPod touch?

    Yeah, I know that sounds obvious, but I need to know the idea behind it. In iOS 4, you can multitask, but only if you have an iPod touch 3rd generation (32 or 64 GB). I don't have an iPod touch 3rd generation; I have the 8 GB 2nd generation, which I upgraded to iOS 4, so I have no multitasking for 3rd party apps.
    So my question is: On my 2nd generation iPod touch that runs iOS 4, if I close a 3rd party app that uses Push Notifications (such as Facebook or Textfree Unlimited) by pressing the home button, will it still run in the background?

    I'm not dead certain of this, but I think the only push mail supported is Apple's MobileMe. When you launch another app the current app is closed. The Home button should close any running app. The only exception I've noted is if you are playing music on the Touch which seems to continue playing even when running another app.

  • Home button on ipod touch not working!!! how can i fix it? no warranty!!!!

    my ipod touch home button is not working everything on the ipod works fine but the home button. i have to turn off the ipod and then turn it back on as a substitute fix. has anyone else had this problem? if you have any ideas or know how to fix it please help!!!! I've read that if i put a drop of alcohol or acetone on the home button it should fix the problem but im affraid of adding liquid to it and it stop working all together.

  • Whats wrong with my home button on iPod touch?

    The home button on my iPod touch (4th generation) seems to be stuck down. I have to press really hard in order for it to function, and sometimes it doesn't at all. Does anyone know why it is doing this and is there any way I can fix it myself at home? I would appreciate answers and advice, thanks.

  • Home button on ipod touch 2g not working

    I replaced the digitizer on it and now the home button is unresponsive. All of the connections appear to be good

    Did you try the alcohol?
    iFIxit says:
    Note the small gold "square" above the dock connector. It's actually a conducting spring that rests against the home button. The button acts as a switch, connecting the spring to ground (the dock connector) when it's pressed.
    Does that look right on yours?

  • Home button on iPod touch unpredictable (4th Gen)

    Hi,
    The home button on my iPod touch (4th Generation) is unpredictable. Sometimes it works first time I click it, other times I have to click it more than three times to get it to work. I have triple click turned off in general settings.  At times when I have been clicking away trying to get to the home screen, the iPod controls will come up, which is fine, but I would prefer if when I pressed the home button once, it would take me to the home screen
    It has done this since I brought it new online from Apple in May this year.
    Thank you

  • Loaded up Firefox home on my ipod touch and whenever I go to open a book mark or a web page it crashes and shuts down.

    I have loaded the firefox home on my ipod touch and sync'd it. Everything came over in the sync but when I open something, and then start scrolling down the page, it just shuts the program down.

    You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

    Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
    Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
    1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
    2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
    I have not been able to find any information on this subject

    jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.
