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.

IPod touch home button jammed?!

Hello, this morning I came to my ipod touch, only to find that the home button was jammed!! By jammed, i mean it is stuck a little too far into the home button socket, and takes an enormous amount of pressure for the iPod to register that it has been pushed. I am currently out of warranty, so should I try to find a "do-it-yourself-guide?" or should I take it in to Apple Store or Best Buy? Thanks so much and ill be looking foward to what you have to say!

IPod Touch Home Button Doesn't Work

Hi all! My (Fourth Generation) iPod Touch's home button isn't working as well as it once upon a time did when it was new 2 years ago. I keep having to press it 3-6 time for it to bring me back to the home page. If I hold it down for a few seconds and then press the home button, it most of the time works. There are many questions similar to this but I wanted to start my own. More opportunities to get points right!
So, Any Ideas?

- You can turn on Assistive Touch: Settings > General > Accesibility
- You can repair for:
iPod 4G - 8 GB - 99$
iPod 4G - 32 GB - 149$
iPod 4G - 64 GB - 199$

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 -

IPod Touch Home Button Issue

Yes, I have an iPod Touch which I just upgraded to the latest 2.2.1 software a few weeks ago. Now my "Home Button" will not take me back to the main screen anymore. I have to completely turn it off and restart it to switch screens and applications.
Do you know how I can fix this? It is becoming a pain to work with.
Thank you in advance.

I am not sure if this helps, but one of my mom's friends said to place a drop of alcohol (rubbing) just on the button and it will work, or at least it did for hers. So I tried that and it works (for a little while), which has got me to wondering, if it is stuck?

IPod touch home button single tap = double tap

Sometimes when I tap the home button on my iPod touch 4th gen (iOS 5.1.1), it acts as if I double-tapped. I have already replaced it under warranty. Is this a common issue? Should I ask apple for another swap or will it not make a difference?

That happens to me, but only when I hold the button slightly longer than usual but still acts as though I double clicked it.

Ipod touch home button stuck and the power will not turn on

Can someone help me? My daughter's ipod touch 4th generation has a stuck home button. We have changed the settings so that the alternate home button is on the screen; however, while she was using it earlier, the ipod shut off and will not turn back on. We have tried to plug it in, hold the power button, etc. Since the home button doesn't work, we can't hold the power and home buttons simultaneously as recommended. Any other ideas?

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:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
or

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot

RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

- 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.

I doubt it is worth the cost of getting an old 1G iPod fixed. Since there are very few apps that can be purchased now for the 1G

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.
