Home Screen Button

I have Ipod Touch, the home screen button doesn't respond, basically i have to tap it up to 5 times to respond, is this a common problem?

Thanks. Had run across that thread a few days back. Not sure with a warrantied device if I want to risk that warranty. <VBG>
Did try a bit of compressed air. It's an off and on flaky sort of button. Unlike my iPads which are very responsive.
Thanks though!
Regards.

IPod Touch 1st Gen Home Screen Button

Hi,
this is my second iPod touch, my first one which I brought in September 2007 was replaced after about 9 months after Apple were unable to fix it, so my current iPod has long ran out of warranty.
My new problem is that for the last 2 months, the home screen button has become very wiggly, and it had to be pushed in a certain angle or a number of times before it would actually work, now it doesn't work at all. To change app I have to turn it off, then back on which takes around 4 minutes.
I've already searched, but found no sufficient answers, has anyone else had this problem and has it been fixed? I would like to send it back to Apple, but I've heard they charge a lot and I could probably near enough buy a new iPod for the same price...
Thank you

Iphone Home Screen button

So, recently my iphone fell straight into a toilet, literally completely submerged, everything surprisingly works except the home screen button, so I would have to turn of the phone and turn it back on, recently though it starts to work amazingly, but then sometimes it wont, its like 50/50, when it got wet also there was a problem with the dock icons sensing but when I brought it to the mac store they fixed it by, tightening the wires?, if I bring it to the mac store could they fix the home-screen button, its so weird because it works and then it sometimes doesn't?

There are moisture senors in the headphone socket and the base socket which will now be red.They will take one look at that (they do this first), and then point out that the warranty has been voided by immersion.
You only option will be an out of warranty replacement for £149.

Add to home screen button won't work in safari

The add to home screen button in safari is not working. Have a link I want to add, touch the button and it moves as if to acknowledge the request but the button isn't there when you close safari. There are no restrictions in place

I fixed it by resetting using home key & off button

Where is the internet home screen button

HI, I am a recently converted Mac user (2.0 ghz quad core i7). I am loving this machine. I just am trying to learn everything. It is a bit overwhelming.
My question is: is there a home screen button for the internet? On my pc there is a house shaped button that takes you to the home page. Whenever I closed safari and then re-open it, it takes me to whatever screen I was on.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help.

Many possibilities here. These include:
* Make sure your homepage is selected in Safari, Preferences, General.
* Safari View menu, "Customize toolbar...", then add the home button to your toolbar.
The next suggestions are designed to deal with Mac OS Lion's "Resume" feature (which by default launches your applications in the state they were in when you closed them):
* Close all windows before quitting Safari.
* Press option key when quitting Safari.
* Press shift key when starting Safari.
* Uncheck the box "Restore windows..." near the bottom of System Preferences, General.

Galaxy S3 home screen button- home screen jump

I've been trying to search for answers to this but haven't found any solutions. I've had my phone for just over 2 weeks ago and about a week ago I noticed that whenever I press the home screen button, my wallpaper picture "jumps" from left to right, and when it does, the picture is cut off and the screen is partially black. It is hard to take a screen shot of this but this is the best I can explain of the situation. It does this for a few seconds, then my home screen picture comes back. I've tried using the stock photos that come with the phone and the live wallpapers but the same thing still occurs.
Is this the "lag" everyone is talking about? I've tried turning off S-Voice using the home button, restarting my phone, and taking out the battery. Nothing seems to work. Do I need to reset my phone? Kinda disappointing if I have to since I just got it.

Hi ellej5. Other than this hiccup with your wallpaper, I hope you're enjoying your new S3. I wasn't able to find any known issues of the S3 causing the wallpaper to lag while it's loading or jump around like you've described. Wildman had a few good questions though. Since this started about a week ago, I would actually start by uninstalling the application(s) you downloaded right before this started happening. (Settings > Application Manager > from the All tab, select an application > Select Uninstall. It's very possible that an application is causing interference with the normal process of the device. If you have installed any third party theme apps or launchers, I would also suggest to remove those too.
You can also try putting the phone into Safe Mode http://bit.ly/NnpVJG before you completely reset the phone. This will stop all the third party applications from running and allow you to run the phone a little more basically.

What makes the home screen button malfunction on the iPhone 3Gs?

I'm tired of cutting my phone off just to get to another app. Can someone help me figure out what happened to my home screen button?

It's very likely a hardware issue.
You could try a restore either from backup or as "new" to see if that rectifies the problem.
If not, then it's time for a visit to the genius bar for a warranty or out of warranty replacement depending on your warranty status.

HT4528 Why is the guided access not turning off on my iPhone? Plus, the home screen button hasn't worked since I bought it.

This morning I tried to turn on the guided access, which I quickly regretted. The home screen button on my iPhone 5 barely worked to begin with, so when it said "Guided access enabled, tap home screen button 3 times to exit," I knew I had problems. I turned guided access off, but my iPhone now will not exit the settings app, it will not turn off, it will not shut down, and it stays only on one screen. I am about ready to go to the Apple Store and find out what is wrong.
Please help.

Go to the apple store and find out what is wrong.

HT4061 My lock button and home screen button has just stopped working, how do i fix this?

My lock and home screen button has just suddenly stopped working, i have looked on YouTube, unscrewed the back and tried the methods that work for other people but it hasn't worked.
Im not on contract, if it needs to go in for repair im sure it will be very expensive!
What shall i do?

It's a hardware issue. If it's out of warranty, you can get it replaced but there's an out of warranty fee associated.

My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)

My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)
Originally i noticed that it was less responsive but now it does absolutely nothing.
I have cleaned the button and also tried calibrating (opening an apple app, holding the power button and then the home button)
Nothing has helped and I am forced to use assisted touch.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig.

No advice? I suppose I could try sacrificing an android to the apple gods.....

What happened to the home screen button from 1st gen iPad? Can't close apps.

I received a 1st generation iPad as a regift. It worked fine until I erased and synced it with my iTunes and other devices. Instead of the home button, it had that little circle in the corner to get you back to the home screen (don't know what that's called). Now that I've synced, that circle/button is gone, and the home button doesn't take me home. I am stuck in whatever app or settings screen I open, and can't close it without a full reboot. I'm not sure what ios it was using before I reset amd synced, but now it is using 5.1.1. Is this the problem? Any fixes?

If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless... Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Can you backup home screen buttons?

You know when your in Safari, you can put the website into your homescreen bookmark? Does iTunes backup these things? Meaning if I sync my iPhone and then restore it; will they be able to get my placement of custom icons / bookmarks on my home screen?

It is a small possibility that it "Might" But I have no conclusive answer at this time. If this was possible. If you ever did a Restore. You would eventually want to choose the option "Restore from backup" This "Might" allow you to restore even the layout of the home screen to the way you had it. Assuming the backup was the latest backup at the time.
Refer to Kbase http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 for more information on Restoring.
