I need to restore my iPhone and I know how to do that, however my home button doesn't work. Is there a way around this?

Does anyone know a way around this?

Putting an iPhone into recovery mode means i need the home button to function properly. I am not putting it into recovery mode because of the faulty home button. I was just wondering if I could put the iPhone into recovery mode in a way which doesn't use the home button.
I guess i will just end up going to apple.

    Without a working lock screen button, you'll probably have to wait for the battery to go dead.  Once it doesn't wake up by pressing the home button you can plug it into a charger and it will eventually reboot.

  • My home button doesn't work very well, I reset and restored my Ipod but it still doesn't work

    I've had this 4th gen. IPod since about mid-June, and it worked fine up until about a month ago.  The home button doesn't work very well, and by that I mean if I'm in an app and hit the button once, it won't respond, or it'll think I hit it twice.  If I hit the button twice, it either won't respond, or it will think I hit it once.  I took it to the Apple store where they reset it.  They said that if that didn't work, then to restore it.  Well since resetting it didn't work, I restored it, and that didn't work either.  I've had the same generation IPod before and never had this problem.  Any advice?

  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

    If it never worked after the screen replacement then it would appear that you have a hardware problem either caused by the repair or the problem that lead to the screen replacement.

  • Capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

    In Pages capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

    I think it does work as described, but the description is not very complete. Capitalization does not change any of the characters that you type; what it does is allow some of the lower case characters to display as capitals. If you copy the result and paste it as plain text, you'll see that the lower case characters are still there. It doesn't actually say anywhere that it can make capitals display as lower case, and it can't.
    The obvious way around this is to actually type what you want.
    The more powerful way is to install WordService from Devon Technologies which adds the functionality of Pages' capitalization menu as well a lot of other ones. WordService actually changes the character to the one displayed, and it works in most of the applications on your Mac.

  • My iPhone died and wont turn back on. My home button doesn't work to reboot it.

    It died last night and I put it on the charger and nothing happens not even the battery symbol comes up. I do have the iOS 7. I can't restart it because my home button doesn't work and i have to use assistive touch. It won't show up on itunes when i tried to plug it in. It's not the charger because it works on my other i-devices. I have an iphone 4.

    If the screen and iPod does not show any life then letting the batter drain will not do anything.
    If you tried another cable and tried ReBoot on another computer and still problem then your iPod has to be repaired/replaced

  • TS2755 I have a new iPhone 5 from T-Mobile. I can send simple texts just fine. However, I have to turn off wi-if and enabler cellular to send texts to more than one person or to attach a picture. Is there a way around this?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Hi Cristigil,
    Are you talking about your lock screen passcode? If so, go into Settings>General>Passcode Lock, and Change one of your Passcodes to match the other.
    Hope this helps!
