How do I know if the home button is too weak and/or sunken ?

Hello,
On Dec 22nd I purchased an IPT5 and while it works just fine, the home button seems to have a very short 'travel' behind it when pressing it.
It does appear a little bit 'loose' also just by 'tapping lightly' on it you can feel it does not 'hold' and appears to be a little bit sunken.
How does your 'home button' feel on your IPT5 ? I do not want to return the unit if this is the way it's supposed to work but I also do not want to keep it if it is defective. I went to the Genius Bar this past weekend and the person told me it was ok. I looked at the other IPT5's on display and their home button felt a bit more 'solid'...
Would I be able to return it just the same if I choose to do so ? The date on the receipt says Jan 7th... so I understand it can be returned 'for any reason' before that date ?
Tks.

Other users have posted that the Home button on their 5G was a little loose like you described.

Could be the battery is completely drained. Use the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Let it charge for at least an hour. Then, while it is still plugged in reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If the device restarts let it remain on the charger until the battery indicates 100%. If it still will not turn on Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My ipod touch 5th generation is not turning on and i cant restart it because the home button does not work and it will not connect to anything

Hello all,
I bought an iPhone 5 in the US and brought it back to Brasil. Now I'm trying to use Siri, but once I press the "home" button "voice control" appears and it only works for me to call my contacts. The manual guide tells me to go to Settings>General>Siri. At the General menu "Siri" doesn't appear. What should I do to set Siri up if it doesn't appear at settings>general?
Thank you,
Melanie.

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Siri is set to On.

I suggest charging it for several hours, then trying again.

I just updated my iPad 2 to iOS6 and I hold down the home button to activate Siri and I get nothing, I thought we were supposed to be able to use Siri on the iPad 2 with the new iOS6 update...???

Thanx for the clarification, it's greatly appreciated.

There is a metal circle that goes under my home button. What is that for? How do i properly place the home button on the iPod Touch?

I need help!!

It's possible that Fiona doesn't know what you mean. I don't.
However, I wonder if you mean the small circle (that isn't metal) at the top of the screen.
That's a camera.
The only thing at the bottom of the iPod is the Home button - there's nothing underneath it. You can see in the picture, a recessed circle with a printed grey square inside it - the Home button.
(I have noticed that pictures of the 2nd gen Touch - which I own - do not show the small (also not metal) circle at the top left above the screen. It's a light sensor.)
So if your iPod does not look exactly like the one in the picture, can you post a picture of yours, with this small metal circle thing too?

My iPod is locked for years and the home button is pushed in and doesn't work how do I reset it?

So my sister locked my iPod for 44 years and the home button is broken and pushed in and doesn't work how am i supposed to reset it now?

If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com if your home button isn't working (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0ef36f).

How do I move the Home button between Back Forward and address bar?

The way I have my firefox set up for years is to put the buttons like this:
[Back][Forward][Stop/Reload][Home][Progress Animation][Address Bar]
Now in FF29 I'm trying to move the Home button between the BackForward buttons and the address bar and it won't let me.
I thought FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet? *confused*
Is there a way to do this, am I missing something? Thanks

''' "I thought FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet?" ''' <br />
Whoever told you that was incorrect, as far as I am concerned. Firefox still is more customizable that the "competition", but not as much as previous versions were.
The Home button can be moved, but the Back / Forward combo button is attached to the Address Bar - they can't be separated.
The combo Stop / Reload button is locked in the Address Bar.<br />
The old "Activity Indicator" is gone. Deemed unnecessary with the loading animation on the left corner of each tab, where the Favicon appears once the page is fully loaded.

Many users are installing the Classic Theme Restorer extension. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ <br />But I don't think that is going to turn out to be along term solution. As users start installing other extensions I think they are going to run into compatibility issues where the new extension "expects" the user to be using what Firefox came with - not the "retro" features.

What do I do with my iPod Touch 4g when the home button does not work and when I plug it in to charge it always says that charging is not avaible with this accesory?

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.

How do I know if the CTRL button is pressed or not?

I want to let the user hold down CTRL or not, on the keyboard, when they click on a button, how do I detect this?
I don't want to add a listener to it, I only need to check,if it is down or not, when the mouse is clicked on a specific button.
Surely I should be able to check this, like I could a JButton, but just can't find how.

Try this

TA38625 how do you fix the device if the sleep/wake and the home button doesn't work and you are stuck at one page?

i need my phone to start working again normally but i cant seem to find out how to fix it.

I fail to see how oyu can even use your phone if both buttons are not working. You would never be able to minimise one app and elect to use another. I think it is time you got your phone fixed or replaced
