IDEA 4 SIMPLE FIRMWARE FIX FOR BROKEN HOME BUTTONS!! SEND TO APPLE FEEDBACK

Apple, as you know many people have had problems with their home buttons on their ipod touches and iphones. I have figured out a simple fix to broken home buttons. Release a new firmware that makes it so if you double click the power button twice in quick succession it does the same as clicking the home button.I have never heard of people having trouble with their power button so this would be perfect. Please make this happen.

Ipod 1g stuck at start-up, broken home button... HELP!

My ipod touch died as usual, but when I went to charge it it wouldn't boot up. It would show the charging battery symbol as usual, then it would move on to the apple logo. But then it started the process over. I have read a few solutions by resetting it while plugged into itunes. Unfortunately I don't have a computer that will recognize my ipod as I was hit by hurricane Irene and my computer is ruined(I had my ipod on me though, so it wasn't flooded, not the problem). Also to top it all off, the home button has a short in it and I would have to press it repeatedly to get it to work when my Ipod would turn on. Don't worry about me keeping the files on the ipod, I have most of the music and what not backed up on a hard drive that I took with me. Is there any way to save my Ipod. Please don't tell me to buy a new ipod like other forums have, I know its a 1G and it's out of date, but I am trying to salvage as much as I can, so I don't have to re-buy all my belongings.
Edit: The ipod hasn't been updated in roughly 14months

See if this program will get the iPod in recovery mode so yu can restore it via iTunes on the computer.

Is there a fix for the new virus that hit apple computers called "FLASHBACK"?

Is there a fix for the new virus that hit apple computers called "FLASHBACK"?

Current recommendations is turn Java off. Generally you don't need it. Do not confuse it with Javascript which you do need for your browsers.
You can disable in the browser you are using and/or more globally using the Java Preferences too (in Utilities), General tab (uncheck the checkboxes).

Protect Yourself from the Mac OS X Java Vulnerability
If it turns out you need it for some specific application or web site that you trust then turn it on only when running that application or visiting that site. If your work requires Java be enabled then at least disable it in your browsers.
If you do need to run Java, be sure that you pick up the Java Software Update 7 posted recently that takes 10.6 and 10.7 up to Java SE 6 revision 31.
Flashback is a moving target with lots of strains (various versions, permutations) and changing all the time. So who knows what's next?

Universal Fix for Broken clients, which can be deployed through sccm or can be run on the machines individually

Hi Friends,
Often the service desk gets laptops from employees on which the client is broken or not getting policy updates
The Deskside team tries few steps
Reinstall the client using the cmd line
Run the "OSprovision" utility to add the machine back to domain
Run the "OSD Collection Utility " to Add the machine to a collection
However the sucess rate is less, i believe due to few reasons like, the OS image is old, missing pre requisites etc
so firstly i would like to know what all it takes to make the Client healthy, what all need to be checked to make sure it meets the pre requisites
Work around to fix the client, by remoting into the computer
Eventually i wish to build a Task Sequence which can be deployed to a collection, which will check the following
Does the computer meets the Pre requisites, if not it will install/reinstall the missing/corrupt pre requisites
installs/reinstalls the client ( wish to know how to execute the command line via task sequence, also if there is any other procedure to do the same )
runs the web based utility "osprovision" to add the machine if it has fallen out of domain
Adds the machine to appropriate collection utility
checks to make sure that the client is working fine after install/reinstall and is getting updates
Most importantly it should skip all the above steps if the client is already healthy
I am a new bee to the sccm, however i understand the concept, Please bear with me and help me step by step to complete this task,
also your idea's are most welcome for any updates/changes
Regards

If there was a magic bullet to keeping clients healthy, then keeping clients healthy would not be an issue.
However, ConfigMgr 2012 does have a a built-in client health tool called ccmeval -- this is run using a scheduled task on client systems every day and does a very good job of keeping clients healthy.
Using a task sequence or anything directly deployed by ConfigMgr won't work because its a catch-22: how is the ConfigMgr agent supposed to run a deployment if it or a dependent component is not healthy.
Other things to keep clients healthy:
- Don't give users local admin privileges.
- Beat users that hard shutdown or reboot systems (this is IMO the number 1 cause of client health issues)
- Get rid of XP
- Use client startup script that supplements ccmeval

How to fix a disabled iPhone 5 with broken home button?

I've beeing searching for two days online for trying to fix this problem. I have a disabled iPhone 5 (iOS 7) with a broken Power Button, I want to restore it to its factory defaults but it isn't working.
1) I can't put the iPhone into recovery mode since the power button is broken.
2) Once I plug that iPhone on my MacBook, iTunes asks for trust confirmation from my side althgouh the iPhone is disabled and I can't access it to trust that computer.
3) I tried to multiple solutions but they didn't didn't work; I even tried to reset my iPhone using "Accessibility Options" but it didn't work.
What can I do?

Free phone support is 90 days. Yes they will charge you to call. No, they will NOT charge you to take it to the genius bar. If it's within 1 year, they will replace it if it's covered.
There are no magic words that will get you past the fact that it's physically broken. Make an appointment and make the trip to the genius bar.

My ipod touch turns on and only a white screens appears. Any idea's on a fix for this?

Help

Try to Reset your device.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).

Any suggestion on how to fix an iphone with a broken home button?

I have 3 iphones on my ATT account. All 3 of these phones have had the home button to stop working. We had one iphone replaced since it was still under warranty. I am cautious about even getting another iphone due to this ongoing problem. Has anyone found a workable solution? Has apple acknowledged that they are even aware of this issue? I am very frustrated. If it were an isolated incidence it wouldn't be so bad, but I have found hundreds of pages with complaints of the same problem.

Since this button is mashed a lot, harder by some people than others, it may fail on some iPhones. People who had them break will be posting on the net for solutions. The millions of people who don't have the issue generally don't feel up hundreds of pages saying, "my home button works all the time."
I've never had a home button fail on my 2 iPhones. There is speculation that Apple could move to a virtual home button to avoid home button problems. It is a mechanical switch, it can fail, but there is no "issue" to report.
