HT1320 Reseting Ipod touch broken home button

So i forgot the password to my ipod touch and the only way to reset it is to hold down the home and power button but I dropped mine and broke the home button how do I reset it without the home button?

i suggest booking a appointment with the Genius bar. Your Ipod Touch most likely has a faulty button.Apple will replace the Ipod touch for free if it is under warranty.
In the mean time to use Ipod you can access accistive touch which is the home button on the screen. settings>general>accessibilty>accistive touch

Is there a size difference between iPod Touch 1G home button and other versions of iPod Touch?

I have an old iPod Touch 1G home button that got stuck. So I bought a new home button to replace it and I'm having trouble fitting it in the hole that I'm replacing. I'm not sure the new button I have is for iPod Touch 1G or for other iTouch versions.
Does anyone know where I find a video how to replace iPod Touch home button and where can buy the home button if the button I have is not for 1G?

this is a shop online were you can buy the home button http://www.repairsuniverse.com/ipod-touch-1g-button-replacements.html

How to fix ipod touch 4g home button(jammed)

How to fix ipod touch 4g home button(jammed)?

Hey! So I found out this free way to be able to use the home button with no cost! It won't unjam it, but using this method you will have a touchscreen homebutton.
Directions:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to General
3. Scroll down and go to Accessibility
4. Scroll down and go to Assistive Touch
5. Then turn assistive touch on.
What you will see is a little white circle on the screen. When you tap this circle you have the Home button option(which functions all the ways of your jammed home button). As well as a few other options; Device, Favorites and Gestures. You can move that circle about the screen for your convenience. This is just a way to have a home button without paying to restore.

Yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4. Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through. It would get very hot as well. Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable. I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone. If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.

My iPod Touch 4g home button doesnt work

Hello. I bought a refurbished iPod touch 4g last may. When i recieved it the home button was indented into the iPod. Normally the rim of the button is flush with the glass surrounding it. With mine it was pressed down a few millimeters. I thought it was odd but ot worked fine so I didnt care. After a while the home button became slightly unresponsive and had to be pressed slightly more firmly for it to register. It kept getting worse until a few weeks it stopped working altogether. Previously i had been too lazy but I decided to send it in to Apple becuase it still had a warranty. Earlier today i got it back with a note saying that I had damaged it and it wasnt covered by the warranty. I was so ****** off because this wasn't my fault. Now i have no ideas what to do. How much would it cost to get the digitizer replaced by Apple? Should I do it myself? Is there an easier fix? Can i prove it wasnt my fault? Is it cheaper to buy another iPod?
(just fyi my ipod never got wet or damaged, i always kept it in a cas and kept it safe, before i had a 2g ipod touch and it worked fine. Are the 4gs prone to breaking?)

Yes, it should be covered by the warranty unless you spilled something on the iPod. However, have you tried the standed fixes of:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restoring the IPod to factory defaults/new iPod
to help ensure it is a hardware problem?

My iPod Touch 5 home button has lost all sensitivity. What should I do?

I own a blue iPod Touch 5Gen running iOS 7.0.2. I am experiencing sensitivity problems with its home button. Really taking its toll on my thumb. Will Apple India replace the iPod or the home button for me? It is still under warranty but I have bought it in California. I would hate to make an unnecessary trip to an Apple store. Fast answers will be appreciated!

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Of contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider
If within warrant, defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost

My iPod touch 4G home button is broken, but i live in Puerto Rico, what should I do?

I got my iPod touch 4G for almost 4 months. Apparently I got one year of warranty from Apple. My iPod touch home button do not respond very well. I keep pressing it a lots of times but this don't resolve anything. I live in Puerto Rico and when I was doing the waranty process in the Apple.com, when I put my adress, it said to me that the type of service that I'm trying to do, doesn't work in my location. This is the first time that I try to do this and I don't know what to do. This is not my first iPod, and everytime I bought one, thay say that I got one year of warranty with Apple. If someone know what should I do, please let me know. Thanks. (me pueden contestar en ingles como en español)

If AppleCare is not available in Puerto Rico and the same for an Apple retail store, you can contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Is there a way to fix an iPod touch 4G home button that isn't stuck but just doesn't work?

A couple weeks ago my home button got stuck. To fix it I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfhCmq9VkA&list=WL429346A18D0B1E65 to help me out. The second option of using the charger ended up working, thus making the button work again. It was working fine after doing that but then it got stuck down again and I had to put the charger in and do that again. However, all of a sudden the home button just doesn't work anymore. It's not even stuck all the way down. I can press it repeatedly but still nothing.
I've had the iPod for about 6 months now and got it off of amazon refurbished so warranty is out of the question i'm sure. If it really is broken with no way to fix it then that's fine as i've been using assitive touch for weeks now and am used to it since i've been using it egulary since there's no other way. I just wanted to ask and make sure first before anything else though.

IPod Touch 4G Home button random issue

Hi everybody.
Don't know if it's from the last firmware update, or just a coincidence of time, started to have an annoying issue with my (bougth in March) iPod Touch 4G 32GB.
The home button is sometimes unresponsive. I've tried hard reset and all the things but nothing changed.
It's really a random problem, a can press il 40 times and it go well, than it happens to me that I have to press twice to wake it up when it's stand by.
Also home button can work well 30-40 times using iPod Touch, going in and out Apps, and then 1-2 time it misses completely the home button command, like I've never pressed it. Again (but less often) I press it once and the multitasking bar shows up.
It's note a huge problem, I kwon, but it's kinda annoying having a brand new, slim, beautiful thing not working properly 100%.
I'm not really into bringing it to an Apple point, 'cause the problem it's not easy to replicate, and it can easily happen that it works flawlessly for 10-15 minutes without missing a hit.
So guys, what you say?

- First restore from backup via iTunes.
- Next, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- Lastly, bring it to Apple.

IPod Touch 5 home button, power button and charging not working!!

I have an iPod Touch 5 I got last year for Christmas, so it's about an year old. The home button has not been working recently so I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. We took it to places to get it fixed but it costed a fortune that I would have bought a new iPod Touch instead. I just used the Assistive Touch instead. Then today I was using my iPod Touch and I turned it off. About a minute later I went to get my iPod Touch and used it again and threw it on the bed because that's what I always do and it never breaks. Then a few minutes later, I got my iPod Touch from my bed and I tried to turn it on but it wouldn't budge. Then I remembered it had low battery so it must have shut down because it had no more battery power left. I charged my iPod Touch and tried to turn it on a again but i wouldn't. It would normally turn on and show the Apple Logo and go directly to the lock screen but it just stayed black. I searched up how to fix this but the only way to turn it back on is doing something with the home button but I couldn't since it was broken. I tried to find computer but they were all occupied and the only that wan't occupied was a Chromebook but it my USB couldn't fit in because it was too big. I try to find other ways but there was nothing that could work. I think my iPod Touch isn't charging because whenever I charge my iPod and it has no battery power left, it would usually turn on by itself. I really don't want to go out and fix my iPod at a store because it'll cost a fortune. Please help!! Thank you

Turn on without Home/Power Button
You need a computer with iTunes which rules out a Chromebook

Can somebody confirm this for me: The iPod Touch's home button is smaller

than the iPhone's home button.
I don't know if it's just my imagination or what. But I swear it is. I also notice it's much more "clicky" whereas the iPhone's is more "soft" when you push it.

I'm sure that the "clicky" or "soft" varies from unit to unit.
Why is this important to you?
We have bought an iPod Touch 3rd Gen and an iPhone 3GS.
The iPod has a much louder "clickier" button. Very annoying compared to the "soft" iPhone button.
Does anybody else has this issue with iPod Touch?
My iPod button clicks. I like it; that way I know I've clicked it. It's not annoyingly loud but it does click.

IPod Touch 4G Home Button is Jammed

Guys, where's the best place to bring an iPod Touch 4G for repair? It's no longer under warranty. I know I should bring to the authorized service center, but kinda hesitant to bring it to the apple service centers. word is, they don't repair stuff. they just replace the unit if it's under warranty. Is this true?
It seems to be a hardware problem. the home button is stuck. it's not just unresponsive, but it can't be pressed anymore. kinda like jammed. no clcking sound, can't be pressed, nor pop out,just lays flat. I tried the quick fixes on the net and apple forums like blowing in the ports to free up the dust, etc. nothing worked.
** still not using iOS 5, so Assistive Touch option is not available

IPod Touch 4G Home button doesn't work

I bought my iPod Touch 4G in January of 2011, so I've had it for a little over a year now.
Recently, the home button has been finicky (I had to press it repeatedly for it to respond sometimes) and today it stopped working all together. I restored it, hoping that it was the iPod itself, but it still doesn't work. It's not stuck or anything, because I'm able to press it all the way down.
If I were to take it into the Apple store, would I have to pay to have it fixed (I never bought a warranty)? I've never dropped it or anything either.

Apple does not repair your iPod. They will exchange yours for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.
