Home page button not working right on my iPad 2

Does anyone has problems with the home page button?

Hi everyone,
I also had the same problem like less than a month after I purchased my iPad 2. I used to think that it was due to the iOS update to 4.3.x, as I got mine out of the box with the version prior to that, and didn't have problems before I updated.
However, it could also be that the home button pad had accummulated oil/dirt from our thumbs, which get in the way of it working properly.
Here's what I did:
1. Turned off my iPad2.
2. Wet my thumb with alcohol (not too wet, say a drop or two), and pressed down on the home button and rubbed the alcohol in in a circular motion. The idea is to let the alcohol break down the oil and dirt.
3. Wiped the home button thoroughly with a clean cloth (i dont recommend tissue or cotton as it might leave residue that could again 'clog' the inside perimeter of the home button.
Before I did that, my home button was responding in around 1 click out of 20-30 tries. After cleaning, the home button now responds in 9 out of 10 presses.
Let us know if you try and find that this works for you as well.

  • Home page button not working, how to fix it?

    In my Firefox 4, the home button does not take me to the home page. However, it opens a blank page saying browser.startup.homepage=about:home and the address "chrome://branding/locale/browserconfig.properties" appears in the url bar.
    I tried fixing it by clicking restore to default and it still doesn't work.
    Any help appreciated.

    One of the other sites may be more likely to give you an answer, or even the addons own site. I note the developer https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-king/?src=api asks for contributions, so I would have hoped the add-on would work without compromising any of Firefox's features.
    Digressing from your topic I note Firefox 5.0a2 from add-ons manager now no longer displays the navigation bar when displaying info about a searched for add-on.
    It may be worth asking on

  • Web Services on Server 4 - Home page links not working

    We have recently upgraded our server to Server 4.
    We use the "Home Page" of the default web server as a starting point for access to web enabled services on the server - so Wiki, web version of Calendar, User Password setting etc.
    Back in Server 2 this page came preconfigured with a grid of icons you could click on to get to these services. 
    I'm not sure what you get in Server 3 or Server 4, but our start page has remained the same ever since.  However since the upgrade, we've noticed the behaviour of the buttons on the screen has changed - so now when you click on (say) the Wiki button, all that happens is the page reloads - you no longer go to the Wiki.
    If you click on the drop-down menu under the button in top left of the window and choose the same option from there, the wiki (or whatever) opens OK.
    I'd like to fix the function of the buttons on the home page - but the option to edit this page is severely constrained by the Wiki system itself: Apple use some kind of Javascript call linked to the default buttons to open the service, but you can't edit this via the wiki editor.  As the page itself is a database entry in the database driving the Wiki, you can't go and edit the source HTML for the page either.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?  Or maybe how to force the Wiki system to revert to the Server4 equivalent of the 'default' home page?  I'm wondering if somewhere between Server 2 and Server 4 the javascript libraries loaded by Wiki have changed and so the buttons no longer function due to missing libraries or something.
    Anyhow - any help with this would be most welcome.  Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jeff. You've got a GoToLink action on the home page that's pointing to a page with this name:
    Elaine's Blog Page.html
    The spaces aren't really valid (or at least ideal) for a file name, but what's really causing the problems is the apostrophe. It's causing a JavaScript error on the page, which prevents any of the actions from working. To fix it, you'd need to either remove the apostrophe from the page's name (and make sure to re-link it in the Actions palette), or escape the apostrophe with a backslash in the Actions palette like:
    Elaine\'s Blog Page.html

    Battery does not appear to charge
    Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire-based power source.
    Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
    If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
    Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
    Try another USB port.
    Try charging from a USB charger if available.
    If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.
    Learn more about charging the battery.
    The Home button isn't working
    Put the iPod Touch to sleep.
    Wait a couple of seconds.
    Press the Home button.
    iPod Touch should wake up.
    If iPod Touch does not wake up, then iPod Touch should be serviced.

  • Safari on iPad2, iOS 4.3.5, "new page" button not working...

    Hi!
    Got an iPad2 a couple of weeks ago, it was working fine. I updated to iOS 4.3.5 as requested, and since then the "new page" (square) button in Safari is not working. I can open a link in Mail, or even hold-click on a link in a web page and I get the "switching pages" animation (and see the other pages) but even though the number in the square increases (indicating the number of open pages) I can't "click" on it to switch pages...
    The rest of the toolbar buttons (back, front, bookmarks, "share") work fine but this makes using Safari quite a PITA... so much so that I'd rather copy a link and manually open it in Opera.. A pity that Opera can't be set as the default browser!!
    Any hints? I've tried deleting all Safari caches via settings (which resets the counter, obviously as it deletes the previous pages), switching off the iPad, Home+standby button for long time until it resets...
    Thanks a lot!!!

    No confusion. I hate that you cannot edit a post with the iPad but that a different discussion ....
    If you didn't see any databases in the Safari settings - then you don't have any. Those are created when you visit certain sites - for instance the Apple iPad User Guide that is available as a Safari bookmark. If you open that user guide, it puts a database in Safari and I assume its like a very specific cache kind of thing. Youcann delete them with no problem because the database will return when you visit the site again.
    The only other suggestions that I can make would be to toggle settings on and off in Safari, like hide the toolbar, turn it back on, turn off auto fill, turn it back on. No idea if that would do any good at all - and it probably won't - but I'm out of rational ideas now! :)
    I think you said that you tried this but this would be my last gasp effort unless some other user has any ideas - reset the iPad- hold the sleep and home buttons down together until the Apple logo appears- IGNORE the red slider - once the Apple logo appears you can let go of the buttons and let the iPad boot up. It can take a couple of minutes.

  • Access Connections "Override home page" does not work with Google Chrome

    I have different homepages set up for home and work locations within Access Connections.  These work fine with Windows Internet Explorer 9 and with Mozilla Firefox 16.  However, with Google Chrome 23 (my preferred browser), Access Connections does not override the home page.  Since that section in Access Connections is entitled "Customize Internet Explorer, Firefox Browser or Google Chrome", it ought to work...
    I am using a T520 with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    If Chrome does't display your webpages, then contact Google about it.
    And for solutions, why not click a link at the right.
    This one seems to have the answer :

  • IPhone 5 Hold Button Not Working Right Side

    Hey guys, my iPhone 5's hold button is non responsive on the middle and right side when I push it in. When I push it in on the left edge of the button it works but otherwise it doesn't. My question is, if I take this into the Apple store, can I get it replaced under warranty, or is it not a serious enough issue?

    Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • All targets status on home page is not working

    The all targets status on the home page shows Down, Unknown, and Up options. I can't drill down on the Up targets but I can on the Down and Unknow targets. This functionality was working yesterday. We did have one incident on the managed targets where we accidentally removed the cluster listener but I don't think this could have any effect on the OMS. We quickly created a new listener anyway. In any case, I stopped and restarted the management agents, and also bounce the OMS by issuing an opmnctl stopall, but I still have the problem.
    Has anybody come across this issue?

    This is because target.xml has not been updated with same change,
    Please reflect the same change in targets.xml ,bounce the agent and let us know the result.

  • Home & End button not working

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 4, the "Home" and "End" keys on my Logitech keyboard do not work. "Page Up" and Page Down" work correctly, but "Home" and "End" which should take you to the top or bottom of the page do absolutely nothing. The keys worked properly with the previous version of Firefox and they still work properly with other browsers like IE8. Is this a known problem with Firefox 4? Suggestions?

  • Multiple Home Page settings not working in Server 2008 R2

    I have Windows Server 2008 R2 as a DC & ADC is same 2008 R2 server both with SP1 with IE 11 installed 
    other Group policies are there & running well.
    I had setup two home pages but on user machines its showing & running only one Primary home page.
    I have one my intranet site & another home page is our website.
    I have enable "Disable changing Primary Home page" & kept my intranet page there.
    I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" & kept my website page there.
    After gpupdate I can see only one page in users Internet settings. My website page is not at all loading !!!
    Scenario 2 :-
    I have selected not configured option for "Disable changing Primary Home page" & apply.
    I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" and kept Both Intranet & my website page address there.
    after Gpupdate its loading 3 pages. Twice same intranet page & one website page.
    In group policy configured only two & loading 3 pages?
    I need it must show only two pages. Tried all the ways & seems frustrating with Windows Server 2008 R2 Group Policy.
    Does anyone succeeded in the multiple home i.e. must load Only TWO pages in the IE browser via Group policy.
    All users have 64 bit Windows 7 OS with IE 10 & IE 11 browser installed & updated. Servers has IE 11  
     

    Hi,
    As suggested by Martin, the easy way to do this is GPP.
    >>I have selected not configured option for "Disable changing Primary Home page" & apply.
    >>I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" and kept Both Intranet & my website page address there.
    Before going further, we should set both these settings as Not Configured. Then we go to
    User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings.
    After creating a new Internet Settings item, we can configure the homepages in the blank on the
    General tab. Note: to make the settings effective, we need to press
    F5 to make the line under the blank green. At last, we can run
    gpupdate/force to refresh the policy.
    Best regards,
    Frank Shen

  • PDF made in Acrobat, Buttons not working right in Reader

    I made a PDF presentation for a client and he is using a PC to view it. When I open it on my MAC using Preview the buttons work, it goes to whatever page I clicked on. He opened it on his PC using Reader and the buttons don't work. I also tried to view it in Reader on my MAC and they don't work either, only in Preview.
    This is how I made the buttons:
    Under Tools, I clicked on Interative Objects. Then Add Button. Then, Mouse Up, Go To Page View, then I added the page for each button.
    Then when I save it as a PDF, I need to shrink down the file size, so I did : Save as PDF Optimizer, I didn't change much on the default for the settings. The Discard Objects Settings I only left the "Discard all alternate images" button checked.
    The client sent me a sample of one that works and one that doesn't work. I opened them in Acrobat and I have buttons just like the one that works but I don't know if my saving settings are correct.
    here is a link to the files that I made

    here is the sample the client sent me that works
    https://www.limoprinting.com/proofs/workingsample.pdf
    I've never used Acrobat before, just photoshop, illistrator, indesign and dreamweaver so I'm sure I'm missing something, I appreciate any help anyone can give me . I also hope I'm clear in my descrition of the problem. Thank you!

    By the way, do not ever save an interactive PDF with Preview and distribute it. Only work with the document within Acrobat. Preview causes all sorts of corruption. If you did save with Preview, don't bother trying to edit it in Acrobat and instead start from scratch if you don't have a copy as it was before it was saved with Preview.
