I can't get back to my home screen? Is the home button broke?

I can't get back to my home screen? Is the home button broke?

A simple press on the home button should always get you back to your 'app-menu'. If this is not the case there is a problem. It is possible that your button is broken. Maybe you could try first to install the latest iOS version through iTunes if you haven't done already. Or try to reset your iPhone by pressing the power button a few seconds and then Slide to Power off.
Let me know if it works!

    Hi Donnastall,
    Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]? There is a lot of good information in there and it should help you resolve your issue!
    Hopefully this helps!

  • HT4943 I can't get back to my main screen from newsstand.

    I have to switch my ipad off and on to get back to the main screen. Does anyone know a way round this?

    Perhaps you have already found a solution by now. If not, just single tap the home key and you come back to your homescreen and the newsstand disappears. It is not an app that can be swiped away, it is a collection of individual magazine apps that is shown in a newsstand format.

  • I can't get back to my homepage after surfing the web. no back button visible

    back button not working to get back to homepage after surfing the web

    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.<br />
    Make sure that you have the Navigation Toolbar toolbar visible.
    *View > Toolbars > [X] Navigation Toolbar
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
    * If you see a missing item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window onto one of the toolbars.
    * If you do not see that item in "View > Toolbars > Customize" then click the "Restore Default Set" button.

  • I can't get google as my default search on the home page

    I wish to have google as my default search instead of bing

    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

  • How can I get back to the standard .TIFF viewer in my browser ?

    Hello,
    I have installed iTune on my PC. Since then I can no longer use the standard MSW picture viewer. This one allows me to rotate and resize pictures, and I cannot do this with QT. How can I get back ? I tried to use the "External module management" of my browser, but it was useless.
    Thanks for your help,
    Thierry

    I am speaking of the browser situation. And I did the uncheck, on both "MIME" and "File Types" panes, without success. I even tried to restart my computer, and I still have this f... Quicktime coming ! Sorry. But for once that an MS product worked well for my needs, beeing ennoyed by an Apple one turns me a bit angry !

  • Stuck in Windows 7, can't get back to OSX

    So I stupidly installed windows 7 64 BIT VERSION on my mac mini, which doesn't support it. Now I can't get back to OSX since none of the 64 bit drivers will install on my mac mini. I cant format the hard drive because windows wont even recognize the other partition as an operating system. I held down F1 while booting and the only operating system it displayed on the computer is windows 7. HELP ME GET BACK TO OSX SO I CAN DELETE THIS EVIL WINDOWS 7 PARTITION THAT HAS TRAPPED ME!
    I tried holding down the "option" key while booting which normally lets you select which partition you want to boot to, but it didn't work. I'm using a dell keyboard, so I tried the alt, shift, control, and command keys. none of them worked as the "option" key.

    You sound like you forget step #1: backup, in the Boot Camp PDF manual and FAQ.
    You must have done something wrong when you installed and overlay the normally hidden small GPT and EFI partitions when you deleted the FAT/MSDOS BOOTCAMP partition that Boot Camp Assistant created.
    Even unsupported systems can install and run Windows 7, usually though there is trouble booting on older Macs from the DVD.
    +Update: you tried other methods to select OS+ after I wrote:
    Holding ALT or OPTION is what brings up the system boot manager. Or I have never heard of an F1 (on my PC it is F10 but varies by motherboard).
    And yes, you can install BOOTCAMP64 off the OS X DVD, but you have to copy to Windows folder and find the file in /Apple/Drivers rather than run the SETUP.exe at the top.
    The evil is in not reading or following the book usually.

  • I tried to download a Cisco webex application.  The app did not download and I also can't open the app.  The problem is that I can't get the webex screen to close, it is stuck open and I can't get back to the app home page!

    I tried to download a Cisco website application.   The app did not download and it is stuck on the window where it has the option of open.....it will not open.  The problem is that I cannot get the window off the screen and I can't get back to the App Store home page!   Help! Thanks

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My apple tv 2 says I can't stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac without settng up iTunes Match. I don't want to set up iTunes match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to A

I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.
