IPhone 4 Home key no longer works tried recovery but nothing

Yesterday my iPhone 4 got a bit of condensation from being in an inside jacket pocket while riding my bike in the rain. I also took a fall but don't think the phone took a hit - its in a bumper sleeve as well. Thing works better since I managed to restore from backup but still Home key refuses to work, meaning I can't change the programme without resetting the iPhone. Any ideas?

Wow, hope you are OK. Bunch of problems here. If the condensation got to the Home Button, give it another day or two to hopefully dry out. If something shorted that would be real bad. If the fall jarred the iPhone and disconnected the Home Button Flex cable. Only way to fix that is to open phone and reseat it. Better to let Apple Store fix this for free under warranty. Restore from Backup will not usually fix much. You need to do a true firmware update or restore, this is what I would do next. Update or Restore, if still no function, let it dry for another day, if still no function, time to visit Apple.

My iPhone 4S home key doesn't work most of the time. Why is this? What can I do?

My iPhone 4S's home key sticks and I am not able to access my phone. I have to push the on/off button at the top and even then, I can't access the my apps because it is stuck. How do I fix this? Can I fix this?

Your home button is broken. Bring it in to Apple for evaluation and likely exchange.

My iPhone 4 home button no longer works, the phone works perfectly otherwise but the home button does nothing. How can I fix this?

Help me!

You can add a virtual button that you can use - heres how:
First make sure you are on version 5
the go to SETTING>GENERAL>ACCESSIBILITY>ASSISTIVE TOUCH
You will then have a button on the bottom right hand corner screen that is always there (you can move it around if its in the way). Pressing it will allow you to go to the home screen.
Good luck - it happened to me too and this was a life saver - I booked it into be seen at the Genius bar but by the time my appointment came through (it took a few days) the home button started working again - literally just as I waas in the shop! Think it might have just got a bit sticky as my 2 year old was playing with it.

Function keys no longer working with a new keyboard...

I got a new keyboard and my function keys no longer work with it. I am used to have them used in the standard format, i.e. F10-F12 control the voume, etc. I have the "Use all f1,f2, etc." button clicked. I have also tried restarting my computer. Any thoughts?

Try doing a SMC reset and PRAM reset.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Iphone 2.0 update no longer working with Chrysler Uconnect Hands Free

Hello. I recently downloaded the 2.0 update for my original iphone and it will no longer work with the my Uconnect hands free setup in my 2008 Dodge Ram. I am a Chrysler Dealer Parts Manager and have installed and shown many people how to set these uconnect hands free devices up but I have no connection with the 2.0 update. I pair the phone as a new phone and it will pair but will not show up at all and it says "No Phone". Anybody know a fix for this. Help Apple!!!

I have a new Dodge Nitro. U Connect and iphone were working great. I had no problems until the 2.0 update. I tried calling apple care but gave up quickly when I realized I was going to be waiting forever with everything else they have going on.
The weird thing was that I was on a call trying to get some help from a friend of mine and all of a sudden the phone started working with the u connect. Then after leaving and returning to the car it stopped working again. Haven't been able to get it working since. I though maybe you had to be on a call for a while before it would transfer over. That wasn't it.
I tried turning off wireless too. Again no effect.
The phone shows that it is paired with the u connect. I've tried unpairing and repairing several times still to no effect. They just aren't working. This is a HUGE problem. I love my iPhone but may have to give it up and switch if they don't come up with a fix in the next month or so.
Anybody who can help me solve this would definitely move to the top of my Christmas Card List!

All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer.

All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer. I don't know how I managed to disabled it. Can anyone tell me how to re-enable it?
I already tried the following:
- I closed the application and re-opened it. - It didn't work
- I re-started my machine. I didn't work
Help! Thank you

The same thing has just happened to me and this was very useful to correct the problem --- but now I am wondering why or how this happened. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't make any setting changes so why did I lose the Enter action?

Return Key no longer works in sql windows or procedure editors.

The <return> key no longer works in my SqlDeveloper editors. Is there an easy fix? I tried resetting the Option for the carriage return but it did not change anything.

So if you go to your shortcut keys (Tools > Preferences > Shortcut Keys) and search for "Enter", what commands are associated with the Enter shortcut? If you have tried remapping the Enter key to something else, it may have removed the standard association with the "Insert New Line" command.
You can reset to the default (which should fix the problem, but lose any custom shortcuts) with More Actions (top right) > Load Keyboard Scheme > Default.

Apple TV Home Sharing no longer working

I have a friend who is looking for help Here is his problem:
"I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network and home sharing no longer works. Home sharing is enabled on all devices, including my Sony Vaio Laptop, iPhone4, and Apple TV 2nd generation. Everything else has remained constant, including service provider, router, modem, and internet security (Trend Micro). Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didn’t seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it."
The problem began when he changed his Apple User Name. After he changed his name, home sharing no longer works even though he also changed it on all his devices to match the new Apple User Name.
How does he get Home Sharing working again. Has anyone run into this same problem?
Thanks in advance

Winston,
Thank you for the information. He confirmed that the ID and password are the same on every device. This only started happending when he changed his User Name with Apple.
--Itunes is running on a Windows Vista Machine (Sony Vaio)
--He has an Apple TV (2nd Gen)
--He has an iPhone 4
Can you tell me more about the technologies that apple uses to make "homesharing" work? Do you think he may need to remove then re-install Bonjour?

Up volume key no longer working after 10.3.1

Since OS update on Passport to 10.3.1.1581 the up volume key no longer works in an app. I first noticed it while watchin a YouTube video in browser, then in Neutron music player then the Music app. The button works fine to advance songs (long press). At first I rebooted and it seemed to work, then it stopped.
Then I noticed that it works on the home screen just not in any apps. It's a pain to have to exit the music app, go to the home screen to increase volume.
Down volume and pause/assistant works fine. Up button works fine in Camera to take shot.
Have rebooted many times since upgrading.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try reloading the 10.3.1 update again just in case something in the update went wrong.
Also, are you updating through BlackBerry link or over wifi or cellular? I always reccomend updating through BlackBerry link just to prevent a corrupt update in case the signal drops. BlackBerry link will greatly reduce the chance of a corrupt update as long as the USB cable is not disconnected.
Good luck and keep me posted.

Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro, the shortcuts on the F1-F12 keys no longer work as they did before.

Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro, the shortcuts on the F1-F12 keys no longer work. I used to press just the F12 key and I would be able to raise the volume, now it switches to the home page. I want the old shortcuts back and I don't know how to do that. Please help.

Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro
updated from what to what?
Suggest you try a NVRAM / PRAM reset, as described by Apple:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Enter key no longer works for calculator or emails

When using the calculator on my Blackberry Curve 8330, the "enter" key no longer works as the "equals" key - nothing happens. It also has stopped working when composing emails and trying to hit "enter" to create a break between paragraphs. Any suggestions on how to get my "enter" key back?

Thanks cor-el, that was exactly the problem, all solved now, thanks for your help !

I tried to sync my iphone4 to my pc (not mac) and the following message went out: I tunescould not back up the iphone because an error occurred I restore my phone but nothing happened. What shall I do? (my ipad is working perfectly)

I tried to sync my iphone4 to my pc (not mac) and the following message went out: I tunescould not back up the iphone because an error occurred I restore my phone but nothing happened. What shall I do? (my ipad is working perfectly when i sync it)
I dont know why this happens.

Unfortunately, "because and error occured" doesn't give you much to go on. Some general things I would try if you haven't already:
Use Disk Utility on your mac to repair disk permissions, then reboot and try backing up again.
Use Finder to go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/, then control-click on the Backup folder and select Get Info, then check Sharing & Permissions at the bottom and make sure your username has read & write priviledges
Try closing all apps, then reset your phone: double-tap the home button, tap and hold the apps at the bottom until they wiggle, tap the minus sign on all apps to close them. Then reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), and release
Try a different usb to dock connector cable; ensure that your case isn't interfering with a good connection to the dock connector at the bottom of your phone; clean the dock connector at the bottom of your phone (e.g., with a dry toothbrush); troubleshoot your usb connection (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286)
I know this looks like a laundry list, but unfortunately it's hard to isolate the problem without a clear error message. If the problem persists, you might try posting in the iMac or iTunes forums for other ideas.
