IPad home button cover that keeps button active

Hello folks,
I have 1st Gen iPad that I use sometimes. Recently, DS has been using it but with his dirty/hands, a lot of dirt gets trapped under the button and it becomes unresponsive. I wonder if there is any home button cover that I can use which will let him use the home button but the dirt from his hands won't get under the button.
Many thanks in advance.

I had this problem with an iPad2, purchased in May 2011.  It occured at about the 8 month point.  After a few weeks of increasingly erratice behavior, the home button failed completely.  Apple replaced the iPad, in the store, without question.   The problem occured again, in the brand new iPad, after 60 days.  It appears to be a known issue.  Resets and restores did not solve the problem.
I am currently using the second iPad with its home button working less and less consistently.   As a workaround, I use the ACCESSIBILITY setting in Settings / General.  I have it turned on.   It gives me an on screen option for the home button.   Should the physical button fail completely, as it did in my first iPad, this will at least give me an option to use the iPad until I take it back to the store.   This is important if you want to remove confidential data before turning the iPad in for repair.
It goes without saying that this is disappointing.

    Yesterday when I turned on my iPad there was icon that ask do I want to upgrade IOS  well I didn't know what that was so I said yes . Well every since my iPad gas gone crazy . When I go to a send button it keeps showing the copy and paste icon over the button . Today I was sending a phone load to friend . It was a $3.85 load . But button kept showing that stupid copy and paste icon so I kept pushing the button . Well I ended up sending $3.85 three times . How do I get the upgrades out or how do I fix my iPad ?

    What does this have to do with iPhones much less using them in an Enterprise environment?

  • What will i do with my ipad stuck on white apple logo and itunes not recognized it. i'll always try to press and hold both the home botton and sleep/wake button but nothings happen.

    what will i do with my ipad 2 ios 5.0.1 stuck on white apple logo and itunes not recognized it. i'll always try to press and hold both the home botton and sleep/wake button but nothings happen.

    if that dose not work then you can always put it into DFU mode by connecting to your computer and holding down the home button and sleep/wake button for excatly 10 seconds and then relesing the sleep/wake button and keep holding down the homebutton till iTunes tells you it has detected an iPad in recovery mode then just do a restore

  • I have iPad 2 with version 8.1.1.  When trying to delete apps, the icons 'jiggle' but won't delete, then neither the home button or the power button  will work. i have to leave it for 10-15 minutes until it returns to 'normal'

    I have iPad 2 with 8.1.1.  When trying to delete apps, the crosses appear, the icons 'jiggle' but won't delete, then neither the home button or the power button will work, and I have to leave it for 10-15 minutes until it returns to 'normal'.  This has happened the last four times i tried to delete an app.

    Hi OldPete71$$$... You are not alone. I am taking my iPad3 to the Apple store later today - I had to wait to get an appointment - for this very problem. This error did not occur until I updated to 8.1.1. I have not tried letting the device sit, I have been doing a hard reboot to recover functionality. If it's any consolation, I *can* delete apps through the iTunes interface, it's just very sloooooow. I can't delete internet shortcuts that I've stored on the home screen this way, though.

  • My iPhone 5 every time I close out of an app by pressing the home button a white blob shows up close to the volume buttons, is that normal?

    Hi Sabrinann21,
    I'm not sure what you mean by the "white blob."  Does it look something like this?  
    If so, that white circle that you see on the right side of the screen is Assistive Touch and can be turned off in the Accessibility settings on the iPhone.

    my iphone automatically locked and it does not open again,but if u call the sim that was inserted you will hear that it was active,so please help me how to open my iphone 4,no display appeared if you touch the switch button,

    Hello arlyn-cavite,
    If the screen is not showing anyting when you press any of the buttons you may want to try these steps.
    From article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    Hi, my iPad home button stopped working. Can any one help me?

    Try resetting your iPad.  Hold the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • My ipod keeps taking pictures of the screen when i keep pressing the home button, my ipod keeps taking pictures of the screen when i keep pressing the home button

    I broke my ipod a few months ago, but I got it fixed for my birthday. The wake/sleep button was permanently broken though and my ipod still has glithces in which it randomly takes pictures of what is on the screen. These glitches have been small until today when I was using it. When I pressed the home button, it took a picture of the screen and it has been continuously doing that for about and hour now. What can I do to fix it? Please help.

    I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1 with this same issue.
    When the phone is locked and has been left unattended for a while, sometimes when I first press the home button (to illuminate the screen ready to unlock it) it causes the phone to take screen capture.
    My power/lock button is not stuck, as I can use it to lock and unlock the phone as normal. There is however one oddity in that if I power of the phone it cannot be power back on by pressing the power button! To power up the phone it has to be plugged into a charger, which (thankfully) automatically causes the phone to power on.
    I'm sure the two issues are related, but I've even after replacing the flex cable that operates the power button, headphone jack, volume buttons and mute switch I've been unable to resolve either the screen capture issue or the powering on issue.
    .....it's quite strange   

  • TS3274 If my iPad home button got problem?

    If my iPad home button have problem but my iPad still under warranty can i use the warranty to take service for my iPad?

    Yes the home button problem would be covered by the warranty as long as you didn't do something accidentally to cause the home button to fail. If it is a hardware failure - it will be covered under the warranty.
    Is the home button no longer working? Have you tried to calibrate the home button?
    Calibrate the home button
    1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
    2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
    3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the home button. Hold until the red slider disappears.
