Ipod 4th home button take 10 second to respond to any touch and does not respond other times HELP

I have been trying for days to get my home button to work it take about 10 seconds or at least 3 click to get it to respond what do i do????

i had the same thing happen to mine.  figured it was shot - but i found the ops manual online and read about 're-setting' it.  it involved holding down the left & right <<&>> buttons, with yoiur thumbnails, while the ipod lays on a hard surface.  i had to go thru the steps a couple or 3 times, but it did finally work perfectly and has been working fine for months since!  good luck -

  • Someone changed the password to my ipod touch and does not remember what she changed it to. I have been doing reseach on restoring but it says that restoring will delete all data. I don't have any of my photos and songs backed up. What should i do?

    So i don't know the password to my ipod and it's disbled. i also don't have a computer. What should i do? Is there a possible way i could unlock my ipod without losig=ng anything?

    You maybe able to get the photos off the iPod by:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    You will have to then restoe the iPod via iTunes. It may be necessary to place the iPod in Recovery mode to allow the restore.

  • IPod touch home button takes a bit longer to work

    My iPod 3G's home button responds a bit longer.I realised this when I clicked the home buttons of my sister's 3G touch and mine at the same time.It takes like a second to respond on mine wile on my sister's it takes less than a second. I kind of noticed this even before i updated to iOS 4.

    iOS 4 does tend to run slower on an older iPod. About the only thing to try, is a reboot and/or restore and make sure you don't have app(s) running in the background using CPU power. I bought an app called System that works like an Activity Monitor on a Mac. It gives you a lot of information on what is going on under the hood.

    If you forgot your screen-lock passcode then:
    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTuns purchases by:

  • My Ipod 4th generation is unresponsive to my touch, and will not allow lockscreen access, and also is stuck on the "Not enough Storage" button. When I try to get rid of it, it does nothing.

    My Ipod 4th generation is almost unresponsive to my touch, and will not allow lockscreen access, and also is stuck on the "Not enough Storage" button. When I try to get rid of it, it does nothing. My ipod's power button, volume buttons, and home screen button all work, and I can still use my start/stop headphones to listen to music.How do I fix this?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Same thing happened to me today. I wasn't even using the phone for the past 6 hours and suddenly I can't connect to the internet, none of my internet apps would work - nothing. I tried to call AT&T from the iphone and it locked up - couldn't turn it off, change to the home screen - nada - brick.
    Did the Home/Power button thing and that worked but this I've only had this phone for about 4 weeks and it's locked up more times than my 3GS did the whole two years I had it! Ridiculous

    Apple might be able to restore it, but most likely not. You can pay apple $150 to replace it, but make shure to not mention that you found it.
