Home button on my 3GS does not always respond, Home button on my 3GS does not always respond
The home button on my 3GS phone is erratic and does not always work. Any suggestions?
Try a Restart and a Reset...
Restarting your device
1) Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2) Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Follow these steps to reset your device
Note: Reset your device only if it is no longer responding and the steps above do not work.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

my iphone does not always turn on when i click the home button or start button? takes a few clicks and then it goes on. Happened after ios7.5 update. Any suggestions? Phone is brand new
Ok i did what you said to and it did it again, I am at work. Phone is on my desk. I clicked the home button to see if I had missed any messages and it would not turn on.
Starnge thing is this happened to my other 5S. Took it to apple. They replaced it, Now this phone is doing the same thing, Could it be the software?
Do you have another suggestion for me?
Your help is appreciated . -
iPod Touch 4g home button won't work plus will not charge properly
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.

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
Please help me.I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts. -
How does this happen: The picture of recent apps you get when double clicking the home button showed in Settings-Wifi that I had been connected to a network I have not been near for two months. Its not a recent "image" of Settings-Wifi. Can anyone explain?
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

My iPad2 is four weeks old and the home button will not always close the application it is currently running and the problem is getting worse and I have tried to restore the iPad but this did not improve the problem...Is this a hardware problem that I need to seek a replacement
Your home button and power button are completely unresponsive, even when you attempt a hard reset? If so you will have to put into recovery mode and restore through itunes or possibly DFU if that does not work

The home button does not respond. Help
My iPhone 4's home button does not always respond. Sometimes I will have to turn it off and on. I have tried doing a restart. It will be ok for a few hours but then will not respond again.
Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing was lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

iOS: Not responding or does not turn on -
one week since i got the iphone 5: screen blacks out, when i finally get it to light up the light brightness turns low.
problems charging phone, just doesnt want to charge unless i reset the phone.
the main home button does not respond at times, approx 3-5 times a day this occurs
phones touch screen does not respond at times...whole touch screen, no response!
signal always drops out, this could be a network issue though i doubt it.
speaking to quite a few peopl i know, they are havng the same issues with there 5 but not as often as myself.
if i knew the 5 had so many issues i would not have chosen it, the 4s was fine!Then take it back! If you've only had it for a week, you still have 51 weeks of warranty. If you are in the USA, you are also within your 14 day unconditional return for full refund period. If it has that many problems, just return it and get another one, or get your money back and buy something else. There is no reason to live with a faulty device after just one week.

my ipad with retina eye updated to IOs 7 not able to boot ....the normal way of pressing the sleep/wake button and the home button does'nt work....any ideas i think that IOs 7 is a crap cos form the time i loaded it it was shaky...now my ipad is dead
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. -
My iphone 3gs on off button does not work. Is there another way to reset the phone?
The on/off button on my iphone 3gs does not work. I cannot shut the phone down to reboot and it is stuck in a no service. I cannot get cell or internet service. Is there another way to reboot the phone? Possibly a soft reset?
The screen goes to voice control. It only recognises the home button not the on/off button. Is there a way to soft reset the phone?

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.

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 -
iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?
Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

Home(Hjem) in Norwegian language stoped working in my web site's web version, have tried it in IE & Firefox. It works normal in tablet and smart phone versions. Can anyone help me fix the isse? thanks !
By looking at the published site, it appears that the Home (Hjem) menu tab isn't linking to any page and hence it just doesn't work unlike rest of the pages.
Are you using the Manual menu type as indicated below, probably the reason why the Home menu tab doesn't have the link to index.html as it wasn't applied at the first place.
However, if that is not the case by any chance and the menu type is indeed set to Top level pages or All pages, you might want re-insert the Menu in Design mode and re-publish the site. Also, what happens when you preview the site in browser? Does the Hjem button work then?
Thanks,
