How can I fix the home button on a phone that doesn't have a working power button?

My girlfriends phone was fine then all of a sudden the home button don't work and we knew the power button doesn't work but I need help trying to fix the home button?

Make a backup, then restore it as new, via iTunes.
If that fails, then contact Apple to get the device serviced/replaced.

    How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

    You will get this warning, if your book includes textboxes that still include the default text, like "Insert Title". You need to find these boxes and add your own text.  Look for boxes like this:
    Make a PDF-preview of your book and look, where the preview differs from what you are seeing in iPhoto.

  • I have 528 contacts on my phone, but only 290 on my Icloud how can i move the rest over from my phone to my Icloud nothing is working

    I have 528 contacts on my phone, but only 290 on my Icloud how can i move the rest over from my phone to my Icloud nothing is working

    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  Use this app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email on your phone.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud.  (This will cause new contacts added to your phone to be added to the iCloud account.)
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (otherwise you will end up with duplicates on your phone).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from your exchange account back to your phone.  They will be added to iCloud and appear on icloud.com and any other devices syncing contacts with your account.

  • How can I fix the quick time file zh_CN.1proj that is corrupted on my computer.

    How can I fix file zh_CN.1proj that is corrupted on my computer.  I cannot delete Quick Time because of this file.

    The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • How do you delete a photo album off your phone that doesn't have the delete option available? and the photos section on iTunes has no photos synced?

    so I have an iPhone 4s and a while back I put a photo album on my phone, but now I cannot delete it!! The delete option isn't there to do it on my device and I have tried unchecking the synced photos button on iTunes and that doesn't work, I just want them off my phone.

    If unchecking and syncing in iTunes doesn’t work, you may have to use a third party tool like iPhone PC suite. With it, you can delete the photos and videos in Camera Roll, pictures in apps, pictures transferred from computer to iPhone and more. Use “Crtl + A” (for Windows) or “Command + A” (for Mac) to select all the pictures in an album and delete them, the album will disappear automatically.

  • HT2188 How can I fix the home button on my iPod touch?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch that is about almost 2 years old. I've never dropped it on a hard surface like concrete or hardwood floors, just a few times on my carpet. It's never been scratched, never had water damage or anything like that. It's in pretty good condition, and runs pretty smoothly, except my home button doesn't work!
    I know several people with the same iPod who have similar problems - their home button doesn't work. When I'm in an app, like the Music app, and I hit the home button to get back to my home screen, it doesn't work.
    I've looked it up on the internet - I've seen several videos on YouTube (like turning the iPod off, entering an original app like Weather or Notes and then holding the lock button down until the "slide to power off" button came up, and then holding the home button down until it went away to 'calibrate' the home button, and locking my iPod and then clicking the lock screen and home button at the same time - which worked for me a few times, but after like a day or two, the button stopped working) and I've also Googled it and heard that rubbing alcohol on a q-tip would clean any gunk out from underneath the home button. I've never tried the alcohol one out of fear that I'd really ruin the button.
    I've also read that there might be dust under there or gunk that should be cleaned by a professional...
    But my dad says that it's too tight of an area around the button for anything to get lodged under there. I am currently updating the iPod to iO5 or whatever the new update is to see if it makes any difference.
    I'm just trying this forum as a last result to see if there is anyone out there with a similar problem that has fixed it themselves to quell the problem permanently. If not, then I suppose I'll be forced to take it to the Apple Store and see if they can fix it.
    I did have the 1 year warranty, but alas, I did not start having these problems until recently.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

  • How can I install Windows 7 on a 2011 MBP that doesn't have an optical drive?

    I've looked at a bunch of guides for the MBA and the new RMBP, but they all say that there's a point in the Bootcamp setup that I should be prompted to create a bootable USB installation drive for Windows 7 from a Windows 7 ISO.  I don't see that option anywhere in the Bootcamp setup, and it makes me think that's something that only shows up for Macs that officially don't have optical drives.
    I have Lion running off of an SSD in the main drive bay and I have a large HDD in the optical bay.  I want Windows installed on a partition of the HDD in the optical bay.

    I think you can create Windows partitions on drives other than the startup drive.  At least, the Bootcamp setup didn't seem to prevent me from doing so.  I can get as far as creating the partition, but then Bootcamp expects a Windows CD/DVD to proceed.  I have one, but I don't have a drive.  I've tried attaching USB drives, but Bootcamp won't install from USB connected optical drives, apparantly.

  • How do I get files off of a macbook pro that doesn't have a working trackpad or keyboard? Is it possible to connect it to a new macbook pro?

    I spilled water on my old macbook pro and now the keyboard and trackpad no longer work.  I have a new one but want to get some files off of the old one.  What would be the easiest way of doing this.  The old one also has a password so I'm not sure I could get into it anyway.

    You could remove the hard drive and put it into an external enclosure. You can connect it to another Mac via Target Disk Mode and transfer the files you want that way. If you put the drive into an external enclosure you can use Migration Assistant to transfer your Home folder to the new computer.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • IPad with a second iTunes library sync: all apps don't work any more...how can I fix the problem?

    I was used to sync my iPad (iOs 4.3.5) with my main personal computer (with windows 7 64 bit on it) but after the pc went off I synchronized the iPad to my laptop (windows vista 32 bit) just for searching iOs update...the result was that any apps work anymore!!!!! How can I fix the problem?
    Thank you in advance,
    Paolo

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
