Ipod Touch home button is not responding! iOS 4.3.3....

I got my Ipod touch 4g used with an iOS of 4.3.3  on December 25th, 2011. It was February 7th, 2013 when the home button stopped working. Everytime I try to press the home button...it won't budge!
I have already restored it, got my data back on and deleted the other person's stuff, but I still can't update my iOSo the newest version so I will have the assistive hime button. Also, Ive already tried alchol but that won't work either. I don't have the money to go to apple or afford a new one. What should i do to fix this quickly without screwing my Ipod Touch up? I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen home button does not respond

    I have tried restarting my ipod several times but my problem still trmains.
    The home button does not respond. I can get to the screen with all my apps, but once I get into an app, I cannot exit it. What can I do?

    You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
    Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

  • I attempted to update to the latest IOS version.  Then it seemed to "Lock UP".  Now all i get on display is a graphic of the power cord with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon.  Home button is not responding.

    I attempted to update to latest version of IOS.  Now all I get on the display is a graphic of the power cord with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon.  Ipad does not seem to power down or power up correctly.  Home button is not responding.

    I am new to this, could you provide me with a little more detail on how to do this?  Thanks so much!

  • My iPod touch 5th gen does not respond properly when charging?

    Having real issues with my iPod touch 5th gen touchscreen not responding when it's on charge. Parts of the screen go dead or need several taps etc. Tried removing case etc. made sure I'm using included charger and directly to the mains not on an extension. Is it faulty?

    Some other users have reported same problem. I have not heard of a resolution. You can try:
    - Using another cable
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My IPod touch froze and its not responding at all what can i do to fix it?

    my IPod touch froze and its not responding at all what can i do to fix it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Iphone 5 home button does not respond, brightness reduces by itself, wont charge and its one week since i got it!

    one week since i got the iphone 5: screen blacks out, when i finally get it to light up the light brightness turns low.
    problems charging phone, just doesnt want to charge unless i reset the phone.
    the main home button does not respond at times, approx 3-5 times a day this occurs
    phones touch screen does not respond at times...whole touch screen, no response!
    signal always drops out, this could be a network issue though i doubt it.
    speaking to quite a few peopl i know, they are havng the same issues with there 5 but not as often as myself.
    if i knew the 5 had so many issues i would not have chosen it, the 4s was fine!

    Then take it back!  If you've only had it for a week, you still have 51 weeks of warranty.  If you are in the USA, you are also within your 14 day unconditional return for full refund period.  If it has that many problems, just return it and get another one, or get your money back and buy something else.  There is no reason to live with a faulty device after just one week.

  • Ipod touch home button is faulty

    I am having problems with getting my ipod touch home button to work properly. Is this a new issue or is it simply because I have used it so much? I don't remember it happening after a software update.

    - Try another USB port.
    - Try on another computer
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
