IPad mini 3 home key clicking noise

I've had my iPad mini 3 for about 6 weeks now and I've just noticed that they home key has started to make a clicking noise before I even press on it. Is this a fault or just the way it's made? My original iPad mini never had this problem!

Samantha

Hi Sammyjayne,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the home button just started making a clicking noise where it had not previously. Does the button still respond? I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • TS1538 I have updated both my Itune and Ipad mini , however, when I click on the device icon (beside itune store), it disappear. Why does this happen?

    I'm not sure why this would happen. But I think I did see another post a week or two ago about this. Have you tried rebooting your computer and resetting your iPad.
    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.

  • I just bought my 10 year old autistic daughter an IPOD touch that she needs to take to school with just limited music on it but she also also has an IPAD mini for home that is fulllyloaded with apps .  How do I set up Itunes to make this work

    I just bought my 10 year old autistic daughter an IPOD touch that she needs to take to school with just the music (no apps) on it but she also also has an IPAD mini for home that is fullly loaded with apps.  The last time I tried to connect 2 devices to Itunes I ended up loosing my own music library so I am a bit hesitant to start setting up this new IPOD touch with outsome help. Anyone have any ideas on how I set up Itunes to make this work and not loose her IPAD apps and media?

  • My itunes won't copy new ebooks to my ipad mini, and when i click on my ipad in itunes in my laptop, it has a circle in it and its faded

    i tried adding a new book to my iBooks but then it won't show up in my ipad. that's from my laptop to my iPad min
    now, when i click my iPad on my iTunes in my laptop, i see the book but it has a circle beside it, and it's sort of faded, it didn't copy to my ipad.
    what seems to be the problem? this is the first time ive encountered this

    On your iPad, do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
    Then set up your iPad again.
    Of course, the step above will erase your iPad, but that's exactly what you're trying to do, I think.

  • IPad Mini Retina Smartcover unlocking / clicking

    Hello folks,
    my iPad mini retina is clicking many times when the smartcover is on (unlocking sound), have anyone the same issue?
    Here's a vid (at the end, my 100 error logs): http://youtu.be/DsNSV4eMusM
    When I put it on a desk and it clicks 2-3 times, although it is not moving. But when it is in the bag, its also clicking (battery draining. yay! )

    Hello FlyFishNevada,
    It sounds like you cannot see the home screen in iTunes when you have the Apps tab selected for your device. I would try first, if you have not already, restarting both the computer and the iPad.
    Restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

    If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting in this article for iTunes installed on Windows 7.
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues

    If the issue still is not resolved, I would next backup the iPad to your iTunes library, and then restore it.

  • IPad mini Facetime home internet vs tmobile tethered connection

    Hi all
    My experience with Facetime is hit or miss. Using my home internet connection, the quality fluctuates. There are days when it won't connect at all, when it will connect and drop several times, or it will stay solid without any issues. I am on a broadband connection, 50 mb down 5 mb up, very consistent in every speed test I've ran, from different testing apps. Brand new cable modem, brand new wifi router with latest firmware, both about 2 weeks old. Prior to this hardware upgrade, FT would be even worse. Most of the time it wouldn't even connect. Now it is better, but still not consistent. Both parties on the call experience the same thing.
    Switch now to Tmobile. If I tether my ipad to my Android phone, I get consistent speeds of 12 mb down and 1.5 up. And Facetime is absolutely perfect. No slowdowns, no reconnects, no hickups, just clear HD like quality every time. And this is in both directions.
    In FT absence we use Skype. And the experience is exactly the same as with FT. Granted, with less disconnects, becaue whereas FT tries to maintain a good quality image at the expense of connection, Skype does exactly the opposite. And again, Skype with tethered Tmobile is very consistent, for both parties.
    The party i am calling is in China. And we both use iPad minis, first generation.
    This tells me it's a connection issue. However, I'm trying to understand why this happens. I know numbers don't always tell the whole truth, but how a 50/5 connection is worse than a 12/1.5 connection is beyond me. It's like going to the track with a Yugo and winning the race agains the M3. If anyone can shine some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

    Adding that both iPads are on iOS 7.1 and not affected by the April 16 bug.

    Once again, I have no idea how I did this, but my iPad Mini 3 which I just got, when I turned it on it's zoomed WAY out so the wallpaper on the screen is unrecognizable and the number buttons on the sign in, each button almost fill the entire screen.

    2. Settings>General>Accessibilty>Zoom>Off

  • The speaker on my new ipad mini keeps making a crackling noise when playing music or games and even just typing

    Has anyone else had this problem? It goes away for a while but when randomly starts happening again. Is this a common fault with the ipad mini or do I just have a faulty ipad? It is only 2-3 weeks old and never been dropped.

    Sounds like there may be an issue with the speaker, contact apple and see if they can help you out.

  • My Ipad mini's home button is stuck. Stuck as in i can't click it. No depression reflex. it won't click at all. Should i replace it?

    i tried cleaning it with a cotton bud. I tried re-calibrating it. I tried twisting it.I tried fixing it with the charger. But it didn't work.
    It's stuck as in stuck that I can't press on it anymore. No depression reflex. No clicking sound that happens when it's pushed down because it doesn't go down when it actually should. Its literally stuck. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there any DIY method to fix this? Or do I have to have it opened up and changed?
    Thank you for any help!

  • Can I save music from my itunes macbook to my iphone/ipad mini via home sharing?

    Or can you only play it in your home with the home wifi?
    When I plug my ipad into my Macbook an error message comes up "The ipad cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 of later.
    My Macbook is running itunes 10.6.3 and won't seem to accept 10.7, so now I can't put any of my music onto my iphone, ipad or ipod!
    I would love some help with this ... I hope I don't have to buy a new computer with the latest operating system to enable me to put my music on my other devices.
    I am hoping a way round this is to save content while the home sharing is on so that I can play it when I'm away from my home wifi?
    Thank you!

    You can only play music from the computer when you use Home Sharing. You cannot download music to the I pad with Home Sharing.
    Can you update your Mac to 10.6.8? Then update iTunes. Mac requirements for syncing with iPad are ....
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 8; Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later

    Please help
    your kind attention and feed is highly apprecited!
    Thank you

    Try calibrating the home button.
    Open a stock app like Calendars or Notes.
    Hold the power button until the red slider switch appears.
    When it appears release the power button and press the home button until the home screen appears.
    Hopefully your home button now works.
