IPhone 4 home button stuck in the pressed down position
I'm on vacation and my iPhone's home button is stuck in the depressed position. There's pretty high humidity here, higher than back at home. How do I get it unstuck so I can use my phone again?
Your decription of the problem is not clear. Is the Home Button physically pushed down, ie partly under the front screen glass? Or is the Home Button in normal position but seems to be electronically firing off presses on its own?
You seem to be hinting at Liquid Damage (humidity). Keep your iPhone safe and dry.

My ringer was working fine from one day to another it stopped working, looking at the phone I looked at all the setting , the little switch on top was not showing the line, but I did notice the top volume button was stuck in the down position. Would this effect the ringer not to work. I can listen to videos, music and streaming videos on the internet without any issues. What you think
*UPDATE*
I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area. -
Ipod touch home button stuck and the power will not turn on
Can someone help me? My daughter's ipod touch 4th generation has a stuck home button. We have changed the settings so that the alternate home button is on the screen; however, while she was using it earlier, the ipod shut off and will not turn back on. We have tried to plug it in, hold the power button, etc. Since the home button doesn't work, we can't hold the power and home buttons simultaneously as recommended. Any other ideas?

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Try another cable

I have an iPhone 3Gs and it has froze on the apple logo. I have held the on/off button and the home button together but the apple logo keeps reappearing. What Can I Do?
Try plugging it into your computer, see if that clears it up or if you can perform a restore from your latest backup.

3 or 4 times since I first fired up my iPhone 4S yesterday, it has displayed the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the Home button to display the lock screen. After 10-20 seconds the phone displays the lock screen, but at that point it has to search for a cell signal (as if the phone just booted up), which takes another 20-30 seconds.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Another thing that has happened only once, but that seems related, is that when I clicked the lock button on the top of the phone, the phone displayed the spinning circle that usually displays when an iPhone or iPad is shutting down.
Any ideas on what MIT be causing this?Disk repair hasn't worked as well.
I just wanted to add a quick observation: after I tried the TM restore for the first time, Safe Boot in verbose mode seems to be stuck at this line "VBoxAdpDrv: version 3.1.0 r55467". This may point to the problem being a Virtual Box problem.
I use Virtual Box extremely rarely - haven't used it in many months. After a re-install, I'm going to remove it and then try the upgrade. If it works, then we've probably found the culprit. If it is real, Apple should maybe add a line saying Virtual Box known to cause problems with this upgrade (or fix it ). -
my iphone 4 is stuck on the reboot logo, ive ried holding both home and power to shut it off snd then keep holding home to let you plug it into itunes but it doesnt work. what do i do?
Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Home button stuck on iPod Touch. What are the ways in fixing this problem?
I've had my ipod touch from Nov 2011, and just recently I have noticed the ipod touch home button is getting stuck and that I have to push the button hard for it to work. Sometimes it works with a slight touch. I put assistive touch on so that if i have any problems I can get an easy fix out of it. But having the assistive touch is really annoying because the normal button is not working and it gets in the way of what I'm doing. Is there any way on fixing this problem other than using the assistive touch.
I've used tips on the following video which seem to work. But its only a temporary fix to my problem.

my iPhone 4S is stuck at the enter passcode section. i couldn't shut it off or anything. i cant even reset or reboot the iPhone. what should i do???
If after trying Namyi steps. If there is still problem. If you want to Restore iPhone Firmware. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Then hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Then click Restore button of iTunes.

my iphone 4 doesnt want to start . all it shows is the apple icon.i have tried holding the home button together with the lock button. nothing seems to work . please help.
Plug the iPhone in with the Wall Charger. Then while plugged in do the Reset again, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone Restarts. This usually begins to happen in less than 20 seconds time.
If you this does not work you can try to Restore the Firmware on your iPhone. If you decide to do this, connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes open. Hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is detected by iTunes in Recovery Mode, this takes about 20 seconds time. Restore your iPhone.
If this does not work, you can try to Restore the Firmware on your iPhone in DFU Mode. Connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes open. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the Power Button and keep holding the Home Button until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode, about 20 seconds more time. Restore the iPhone.
If this does not work and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take your iPhone to Apple for resolution of the problem. -
does touching the home button wakes up the iphone 5S or do we physically have to Click on Home Button or Sleep/Wake button and then use touch id?
What I am trying to say is that each time I have to click on the home button to wake up the iphone 5s and then it scans my print and logs me in the phone however I was hoping that by just putting the finger on the button will do the whole thing of waking up + unlocking the phone,
Can anyone please let me know if I am wrong or if I am right? since I just bought iphone 5s and I am not sure if the sensor is working or not the way it should be.It sounds like it is working the way it should be. You do have to click one of the two buttons. The closest thing to doing it as a single operation is to click the Home button but don't remove your finger from the button (i.e., leave your finger lightly on the button immediately after clicking it).
