I cannot get my home button to work

My home button does not press down. Is there any way to fix this on my own or do I need to take it in to be fixed?

- If you have iOS 5 you can use Assistive Touch which adds screen buttons: Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch

  • I cannot get my home button to work on an Iphone 5

    I cannot get my home button to work. I get Sir i every time I push it. Help please

    It should only be bringing up Siri if you press and hold it. Do you think you might be holding it too long?

  • How can I get my home button to work again

    How can I get my home button to work again

    Well, if your Home button is broken, you won't be able to reset your phone, and if the Sleep/Wake button won't turn your phone on, it's a trip to the Apple store.

  • Any ideas on how to get my home button to work like it should?

    I have the third generation iPad and have been having intermittent problems with the home button.  The iPad seems to work just fine,
    but sometimes the home button doesn't do anything.  If I am in Safari and want to change to Mail, for example, the only way to get that done
    is to turn the iPad off, let it rest a short time, turn it back on and then go to the screen I want.  I can navigate within an app, but can't change apps
    without going through the above...a real hassle!  I had an appointment with the Genius Bar (Have Apple Care), but then the Home button started
    working for a while and at this time of year, I really don't want to go to the Apple Store!  Any ideas?  Thanks for your help.

  • I cannot get my home sharing to work with my new PC. I have tried all suggestions from the manuels. Can anyone help?

    i cannot get my homesharing to work with my new PC. Any ideas besides the ones in the manuel

    Yes, I do think it is no longer using PPPoE.. but the IP is configured to the fibre to ethenet or vdsl port.
    You might need to ring the ISP and get them to give you details.
    Anyway it is easy to try.. plug the Extreme WAN port to the new modem and test with dhpc. Check that you get a public not private IP address.

  • Tecra A11 - Cannot get the FN buttons to work on Win 7

    I had to do a new install of Windows 7 on my Tecra A11.
    Everything works fine but, I am finding that I really really miss the ability to turn the trackpad on and off and turn the wireless on and off.
    I'm guessing that the only way to do this would be to reinstall that program that connects the FN key to the numbered Function Keys.
    I don't know what to call it so I don't know what to search for. I do want to be careful and not install more than I need.
    Is there a program or way I can get this function reinstalled?
    Thanks,
    Susan
    p.s. On this fine forum, I found how to turn the track pad off when a mouse is installed but if I don't have a mouse attached and this is turned off, I'm kind of in a mess :)

    Hi
    The FN buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package) and the Flash Card Support Utility.
    Install the VAP firstly and check if the FN buttons would work. If this is will not work then you should try also the Flash Card Support Utility to get this FN buttons working.
    The Flash Card Support can be found in Satellite L500 or other later series

    Ipods automatically have a one year warrany unless you have violated the terms. But you can pay to extend the warranty. It depends, they may fix it for free or they may charge a bit. Im not entirely sure. But id say theres a good chance that they may fix it for free. With battery replacements, ive heard that they give you an entirely new ipod with a charge of $80. So i think it depends

  • I cannot get the Output Module to work. I was able to get the button to show up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. i need to export a PDF asap

    I cannot get the Output Module to work. I was able to get the button to show up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. i need to export a PDF asap. I am trying to export 33 PSD files in BRIDGE to a PDF like I used to do on my other computer with bridge.

    Let's start with the general things.
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

    My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

    I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

  • IPhone 4, Home button not working, stuck in recovery mode and boots straight into voice control.

    After trying everything and failing I still cant work out why this is happening.
    I cant restore my phone in itunes, just get an error. My phone boots into voice control for no reason and to top it off the home button stopped working along with all these errors. It cant be a hardware issue. I sent it in and got told I had water damage which is impossible as I treated the phone like gold.
    Does anyone have a reasonable explaination as why this is happening and maybe even a solution?
    Thanks!

    try to put your phone in recovery mode. plug into itunes and hold down the home button and top button until apple logo appears and then let go of the top button only. the phone should display plug into itunes.let go of the home button when this happens. disconnect iphone and plug it back in itunes should recognize it is in recovery mode. hit the restore button on summary page.
