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.

TS2972 I cant get my home sharing to work on my mac book, apple tv or iphone. Just wondering if someone could help. It used to work now it does not. Thanks

The helpfulness of answers is limited by the details provided. Just saying it does not work, or I got an error does not provide much to go on. How is it not working? What happens or does not happen? Is an error returned? If so what error. Are you sure you are logging in with your home sharing ID? It is not the same as your Apple ID or iCloud ID.

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 cant get hyperlinks and buttons to work...

I am creating basic Folio's but I cant get none of my Hyperlinks or buttons to work... Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,
Make object for button, select it and press "convert to button" (Buttons and Forms tab). Choose "go to url" action (it is located under tiny plus button) and paste or type in full url with http:// in "URL" field.
Likewise for hyperlinks select text and press "Create new hyperlink" on Hyperlinks panel then paste full url (uncheck "Shared Hyperlink Destination") and press OK.
It should work. Of course if you have Internet connection.
If your links point to pages or articles inside the folio use navto:// instead of http://

When you buy an iPhone in the U.S. it's locked to that country with the carrier you bought it for.
If you bought the device unlocked in the U.S. it's unlocked, you can use it on any carrier. Even one's outside the country.
If you want to do a repair on a device you bought in the U.S. and your using it in another country, you must send it back to the U.S. Why? That's where you bought it from.
AppleCare Protection Plans and AppleCare Limited Warranties are registered to your hardware.
Your hardware is your iPhone.
Wherever hardware that was bought then that's the country it was designed to be used in and that's where it was manufactured.
Apple is very localized - if you call U.S. tech support, you'll speak to somone in your country.
So, what does all this mean?
In order to do a repair, you need to send it back to the country you got it from.
And we're all customers like you. We understand that you're upset, but Apple isn't gonna bend the rules to one individual.
Policy is policy. Get over it.

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

Cant exit out of apps ; home button doesnt work , how do i fix it?

i cant exit out of anything , my home button wont work,

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

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!
