Ipod touch automatically sets off HOME button

hi, I accidentally spilled water and got a little bit on my ipod. Afterwards, I noticed that after I charge it, the ipod would automatically hit the home button.
When I'm playing a game or have an app opened, it would close because it sets off the home button.
when I press the top button, it would sometimes take a picture because it's holding the home button.
When I leave it in lockscreen and screen off, the screen would automatically turn on.
1. Is there anyway to fix this? or to disable the home button when I'm in game.
2. Also, can I send it in for repair? The earbuds jack doesn't show any red from water spillage.
Thx, any insights would be appreciated.

also, when i put it near my static-y shorts, it sets off the home button.

  • My ipod touch automatically presses the home button

    my ipod touch automatically presses the home button causing apps to close, appswitching tray to pull up, and turning to spotlight search. i dont think my home button is broken; i can press and release it no problem. could this be a software problem?
    thanks!

    I would try the standard fixes inorder:
    - Reset the iPod:
    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
    - Restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation's home button and lockscreen work perfectly but the screen is unresponsive and wont work whats the problem?

    My ipod touch 4th generation's home button and lockscreen work perfectly but the screen is unresponsive and wont work whats the problem?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • IPod touch 5th gen. Home button stuck and power button not working! Please help!

    I have an iPod 5th Generation and the home button is jammed down! It felt sticky earlier but now it's stuck down. I used it when the home button wasn't working and had to use my notifications to change from app to app (as I didn't know about assistive touch). I turned it off, but now the power button is no longer responsive! The button isn't stuck, but it doesn't work anymore. It was working fine before, but now it won't respond. Please help!

  • IPod Touch keeps hitting the home button

    Before I begin, I have a 32GB 3rd generation iPod Touch. I bought it off of Amazon directly and it arrived January 27 of this year.
    And until 2 days ago, I loved it and it worked great. However, now it keeps hitting the home button on its own. It does have a case, but even when the case is removed it continues to be a "phantom." My iPod is not jailbroken or anything. No matter what I do on it, it will eventually hit the home button, which closes me out of what I was doing. I Google'd this before and it said to restart it and or restore it. I have done both and it continues to have this problem. If anyone has a solution to this, PLEASE help me or I will have to call Apple and most likely ship it to them.
    Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    I talked to an Apple Expert and just brought it to UPS.
    Thank you David. I had a 1 year warranty.

  • IPod touch 5th gen clicky home button?

    Why is the iPod touch's (especially the 5G's) home button give off such a hard click? The iPhone's home button is very soft and silent. It's kind of irritating, because its so loud and feels like a hard button instead of a small touch piece. I know I'm not explaining very well, but I hope you understand what I'm saying if you have an itouch. Is there any way to fix this? I don't like it and I don't think it's really fair to iPod touch owners.

    There is nothing you can do.

  • How do I access notes on an iPod Touch with a broken home button?

    Hey guy, I have an older iPod Touch, and I am trying to gain access to about 800 quotes I had in the notes. The iPod let me get the first (latest) four, then blacked and exited the notes app. Now, it will no longer work, unless I try to add a  new note.  The home button is no longer working correctly, so I cannot reset it. Is there any way I can get Apple to email the quotes or something? I still have access to the settings, so I know version, model, serial number and all that. Any suggestions?

    - Try connecting the iPod to your computer and restore from backup.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    - Maybe you can extract them from the backup
    iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
    - Restore another iPod, iPad or iPhone from your backup. Maybe Apple can do that at one of their Genius Bar
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Apple does not have them so they can't email them to you

  • What do I do with my iPod Touch 4g when the home button does not work and when I plug it in to charge it always says that charging is not avaible with this accesory?

    Take it to a reputable third-party repair shop. Apple will not touch it after you have opened it up and tinkered with the works.

  • 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black after a while. How can I solve this ?

    My 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off (=stops the music) when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black for power saving mode. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
    I have already tried resetting, connecting to PC/iTunes to check the software version, turning off/on, I don't have any inspiration anymore.
    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Hi VeerleD,
    If your iPod touch unexpectedly powers off, you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting (The steps apply for the iPod touch) -
    Specifically -
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I have a white screen and i tried rebooting the ipod touch by holding the home and sleep button simoltaneously but it still jus tappears white. i also attempted to connect my ipod to itunes but my itunes wont even recognize my ipod touch 4g

    i have a white screen and i tried rebooting the ipod touch by holding the home and sleep button simoltaneously but it still jus tappears white. i also attempted to connect my ipod to itunes but my itunes wont even recognize my ipod touch 4g. What should I do now?

    Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.

  • My daughter got a new ipod touch and set it up using my apple id.  It sync'ed and got my contacts, so she went ahead and deleted them off her ipod.  Unfortunately, my iphone then 'synced to the cloud' and I lost all my contacts.

    My daughter got a new ipod touch and set it up using my apple id.  Once she sync'ed it, she had all my contacts, so she went ahead and deleted the ones she didn't want.  Unfortunately, my iphone then sync'ed to the cloud and all my contacts were wiped out (the ones she deleted).
    So, I wiped my iphone and did an icloud backup/restore.  This restored all my apps, but my contacts are still the ones from when my daughter did her update.  It doesn't appear as though I got back my contacts, even though I chose an icloud backup from before the deletion.  Logging into icloud shows the reduced/deleted contacts, not the full list I had, and I can't see a way to revert back to an old copy.
    Any ideas?  I thought restoring from the cloud would have done it, but the contacts I got were the 'current' copy, not an older/archived copy.
    I'd appreciate any ideas.  None of the articles I found seemed to address retrieving an 'old' copy of your contacts from the cloud.

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.
