How do I use assistive touch to recover my ipod touch

So I want to recover my ipod because I forgot the password and I need to put it in recovery mode, but my home button broke. And it's a 5th gen, if that matters.

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:

    No such app exisits or can exist.  Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone.  Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.

  • Has anybody else been having issues with their home button after using assistive touch for a little while?

    Me and my brother have been messing with Assistive Touch on and off since iOS 5 canme out. We been noticing that when we actually move to use the home button, sometimes it doesnt respond. Though I'm all for thinking my home button my be on the fritz, it wouldnt explain how mine and my brother suddenly have issues with our home buttons at the same time. Both of us had a time where the home button didnt respond at all. and its been intermittent ever since. Anybody that has an answer or another case like this I' d like some information

    Reset Home button steps:
    (1) Tap Settings App, when it is open:
    (2) Hold Power button until "slide to power off" bar appears.
    (3) Don't slide it, release power button.
    (4) Gently, continuously press Home button for few seconds until home screen appears.
    (5) Done.

  • Turn iPhone 5s On/Off using "Assistive Touch?"

    I have an iPhone 5s. Is it possible to activate the "Assistive Touch" feature and use it to turn the phone off without having to use the on/off button on the top right off the phone? If so, how? Also how would you turn the phone back on after you have turned it off with Assistive Touch?
    Thanks in advance

    deggie's advice is excellent. In the meantime, plugging the phone in to a charger should cause it to turn on.

  • How can I use time machine to recover my iWeb09 files?

    I read that iWeb stores one's website pages in the domain folder which can be located at ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Can I use time machine to recover my iWeb09 files? If so, how? -I tried. I entered my Time Machine back up, and went back in time and brought the domain file forward but it opened only my current site pages, not the ones I am trying to recover. And it says the Domain file was last modified in October 2007 which is crazy because I've been using iWeb a lot and have published many pages. It seems like the uncorrupted pages, which I am trying to recover, existed somewhere on my computer at one point in time and space, less than a week ago, becuse I just published my site to a new hosting service since Apple will soon stop web hosting. So why can I not find them using time machine?

    I continued searching and read another person's advise to down load an app named "Find File," then search for .sites. She said spotlight doesn't always find all files. So I did and sure enough, when I searched for .sites I found another Domain package, which I have no idea how it was created but which, it ends up, was the one actually being used by iWeb. So I went to that package then did the time machine and went back to before my web pages became corrupted. I had to delete corrupt blog pages out of my website menu to get iWeb to upload the other page changes even to a local folder.
    So I went to that newly found Domain, went back in time, then brought that forward and as you pointed out the domain package had the parts of the pages, the files and jpegs, but not the structure/layout of the pages. So, I guess I gave up on finding the old pages.
    Those pages still exist on the Apple hosting server but iWeb doesn't not reverse publication. Cyberduck would bring back the files and bits and peices but again not the pages as a total entity. I'm preparing for the end of Apple website hosting (next month?) and am republishing my old site. I decided to use a new domain name. So my entire original site is still totally intact on the web under the original domain name, on my mobile me site, I guess it will be there till sometime in June?
    My problems started when I tried to publish my website to the new server. It just would not publish the whole website in one session. So I decided to do it a few pages at a time. Some pages went up, but as I added more, for some unknown reason the, blog pages, (about 70 subpages),  which had aleardy uploaded just fine to the new server, became corrupt and locked up iWeb. Of course once I deleted the corrupt pages I didn't want to continue publishing the site to the host until I found and reinserted uncorrupted pages, knowing publishing changes would delete the already published pages.
    At first I thought it was the hosting server's fault, but when I discovered that it wouldn't publish even to a local fold I was able to locate the cause within iWeb, deleted those pages then tested by publishing to a local folder. iWeb worked locally, so I knew I had found the problem pages. Well this is way more than you wanted to know. Thanks for your advise but I'll just start the blogging pages over.

  • HT5587 How can I install assistive touch on my ipod from my laptop?

    I have an ipod touch and recently tried to update the software on it. Well it did not work, giving me nothing but an error code 1604. I took it to the nearest apple store and the kind lady put assistive touch on it due to the faulty home button on it. The update went through perfectly, but now another update was avalable so I decided to go through with it. After waiting almost an hour itunes gave me the same error code, 1604, I do not want to have to take it back to the apple store because the closest one is two hours away. Please help me to fix this problem without getting a new home button right now.. Please and thank you to anyone who can make a sugestion

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • After IOS5 update on ipod 4G, unresponsive touchscreen after using assistive touch on lock screen

    Well, after i installed the IOS5 update on my ipod 4G, everything seemed fine. That was until i tried using the assistive touch feature on lock screen to do a double finger gesture. Then, my entire touchscreen just died. It didnt work and i had to use buttons (voice control) to play my songs... so lame ><
    Anyways this started as a question, but i found the solution... FACTORY RESTORE!!! but ok, just warning you guys dont try it. this is a bug i suppose that needs to be fixed. I
    If anyone else has this issue, then heres the solution again, restore your IOS.

    ok i cant replicate it so maybe it was only one time thing. BUT it still lags like crap when im on lock screen and i use the gestures.

  • IPod Touch Screen not Working after using Assistive Touch

    Hey everyone!
    Yesterday my iPod Touch 4th gen touch screen froze (not the screen itself - it still wakes from sleep & responds to notifications and charging etc.), after myself accidentally taping 'Voice Control' on Assistive Touch.
    I was wondering, since it's out of warranty (it's a couple of years old), I can't send it back. I'm currently backing up & restoring it.
    Can anyone tell me if it's the software or hardware? It's going to take at least a good day or so to backup & restore, due to storage is full, and it's 32GB capacity, so it'd be good to know in advance.
    And if anyone has got any other suggestions to fix it, please let me know! It'll be much appreciated.
    Thanks heaps!
    PS. Please don't tell me to repair it...it'll cost just as much to fix my whole iPod, buttons & screen than it is to buy a brand new one!!

    There is really no what to know if hardware or software problem without trying to restoring the iPod. First from backup and then to factory settings/new iPod. If still problem then it is a hardware problem.

  • Updated to iOS 7 - Some of games lag when I use assistive touch

    I just recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 and always use assitive touch so I wont press the home button most often. But i notice that whenever i play games on my phone, it sometimes lag - its not fast like it used to when im using iOS 6. I have no idea whats wrong.

    Hi, PrincErick. I personally experience lag on my iPad mini (1st generation) with AssistiveTouch enabled and Increase Contrast disabled on iOS 7.
    You have two options to speed up your iPhone 5 in general:
    1) One is to disable AssistiveTouch since it's the main resource of the choppiness in iOS7 enabled devices. If you'd rather have AssistiveTouch enabled, then your other option is to
    2) Enable Increase Contrast in Accessibility.
    Also, if you're playing graphics intensive games such as "COD: Strike Team" or "Infinity Blade 3", it is best if you do a reboot (Hold the sleep/wake button then slide to power off then hold the sleep/wake button once again) before you play these games for optimum system performance.
    This is a software issue so the best we can hope for, and together with other people concerned with this matter, is for Apple to release a software update addressing this nasty AssistiveTouch bug.

  • How do i use an iphone 5 as an ipod

    how do i use an iphone 5 as an ipod

    Lawrence, any idea why this article now has the designation of being "archived" and "no longer updated by Apple"? Is it because there's nothing left to add or update at this point or because it's no longer required to swap SIM cards? (I don't know if that's true just trying to figure it out.)
    I didn't take out my wife's original SIM card in turning her iPhone 4s into an iPod Touch for my son and almost everything has gone smoothly except for two things:
    Facetime had a few issues at first but I've straightned them out.
    I still see "activation" error messages after restarting. This I'd like to get ironed out because it's annoying, so is the best course of action still to take out the old SIM, put in the SIM from my wife's new iPhone, restore the old one with new SIM in it, and then once everything is set up correctly return the new sim to the new phone?
    I think if I understood more clearly why this SIM swapping is necessary, I would be able to answer some of my own questions.
