IPod touch 3rd gen spinning wheel plus home button doesn't work. How to fix?

I have an iPod touch 3rd gen that is stuck on the Apple logo and also has that spinning of wheel death thing. I am trying to enter into DFU mode but won't work due to the home button not working. Is there any other way I can fix this and make it boot back up regularly?

Try here:

See if  using thies program will get the iPod in recovery mode so you can restore the iPod
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If not let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least for an hour try again.
If you can update to iOS 5 and the Home button sill does not work yu can turn on the Assistive Touch Accessibility feature. See chapter 30 of the Users Guide.

  • I recently reset my iPod touch 4th gen. (holding power and home buttons at the same time.)  now it won't let me change my wallpaper, in the photo section or the settings. Any ideas, please? Thanks.

    Apple will only exchange the iPod for a refurbished one for:

  • I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years and the apps have worked fine in the past. Suddenly the apps will not launch, they appear to start then just exit. Is there a reason why it is doing this?

     I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.

    - First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try downloading/installing a new app
    - Restore from backup
    - Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod.  this is last result since you will lose app data.

  • IPod touch won't turn on and home button isn't working

    So two days ago I was using my iPod and I put it town for a few minutes, and when I came back it would not turn on. It was fully charged so it is not a battery issue. It's a iPod touch 5th gen. Usually when this happens I do the home and power button press but now my home button doesn't work. I don't know what happened to that either because it suddenly stopped working. I tried to use TinyUmbrella and Macboot (or whatever it's called) but they didn't work because they didn't recognize my device. Is there any other way to fix this? Or any way to get the home button un stuck?

  • Mi boton home no funciona, como hago para arreglarlo? My home button doesn't work, how can I fix it?

    Mi boton de home no funciona, desde hace rato, pero no se como arreglarlo? la garantia de un año ya expiro, asi que no se que hacer! alguien sabe? gracias!
    My home button doesn't work, since for some time, but I don't know how to fix it? the one year warranty already expired, so don't know what to do! does anyone know? Thank you!

    Hola PaulaVila,
    Has probado a calibrarlo por si acaso? Para hacerlo tienes que abrir una de las aplicaciones preinstaladas (Contactos es la que suelo usar yo). Una vez abierta, pulsa el botón de encendido del dispositivo hasta que aparezca el cuadro de dialogo de apagado. Luego pulsa el botón de inicio (el que no te funciona) hasta que salgas de la aplicación (el cuadro de dialogo de apagado también desaparecerá).
    Si así no lo consigues te sugiero que te acerques a un Apple Store o a un servicio técnico autorizado.
    Un saludo,

  • I have the ipod touch 5 ios 7. i reset my passcode but i dont remeber what it is. i dont have itunes on my computer and my home button doesn't work. how do i reset my passcode or ipod?

    i habe the ipod touch 5 ios 7. i reset my passcode but i dont remeber what it is. i dont have itunes on my computer and my home button doesnt work. how do i reset my passcode or ipod?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com if your home button isn't working (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0ef36f).

  • My home button doesn't work, how do i fix it?

    One day i noticed my home button wasn't working. I tried a lot to try and fix it, like restoring it on itunes. That did not help whatsoever. It has been like this for about1 month. Whenever I need to get out of something I need to turn my phone off and turn it back on which gets really annoying. Is there an easy way to fix it? Please help!

    You may be having a physical hardware issue so take it to the Apple store if you are in warrantee. You can use a digital home button if you go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch>On. Also make sure you quit your apps (double click home button and hold and hit the minus sign. No available resources will cause the home button to not respond.

  • My ipod won't turn on and my home button doesn't work.

    I have a 4th gen 32GB ipod touch. I was sitting on my couch and right after I sent a messege it just shut off and wouldn't turn back on! So on top of my home button being broken iTunes doesn't read it and the ipod won't charge....WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode,
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    If necessary:

    - 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 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.
