Is there a tap or gesture to get to home without using home button?

Does anyone know if there is a tap or gesture on the screen to get you back to teh main menu without having to click the home button? for example I started some music and then wanted to access the web. once in cover flow there doesnt seem to be a way to escape to the main menu without using the home button? am I mistaken ?

As far as I know, you must press the Home button in the situation you described. A gesture that always takes you home would be a welcomed addition, though. But in actuality, what's the difference between pressing the Home button once as opposed to making a gesture or tap on the screen itself?

Hello kumar kalptaru,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're wondering how to hang up a call besides using the Sleep/Wake button.
Other than this, you can tap the red hang up button on the Phone app. See the iPhone User Guide for more help:
While on a call - iPhone
End a call. Tap or press the Sleep/Wake button.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

If you aren't going to live that long maybe you should give up with computers and start enjoying the few remaining hours.

You can go to Settings>General>Reset, or hold down the power/sleep button on the top edge until the red slider appears, then press the home button (i.e., don't use the slider to power down).

Well, if your Home button is broken, you won't be able to reset your phone, and if the Sleep/Wake button won't turn your phone on, it's a trip to the Apple store.

HT3964 Is there any other way to turn on a macbook air without using power button?

Hi everyone
I think I somehow spilled some water on the keyboard or something and now the power button does not respond. I see that the bettery is fully charged as the LED light indicates green. Now, is there any other way to turn on the computer without using powerbutton?

Nor would you want to try to turn it on under these circumstances. If the logic board is salvagable, and the damage is now only limited to the keyboard, then putting power to the logicboard could cause a catastophic short circuit and render the whole MBA a lost cause..
Immediately take it in to an Authorized Service Center or Apple Store Genius Bar to ascertain the damage and potential for repairability.

I've already paid 5 dollars to buy iMovie on my iPhone, and now I've got my macbook, I've synced my accounts and stuff, and it still wants me to pay 15 dollars to buy the app again? isn't there a way for me to get the app without paying for it again?

Ive already payed for iMovie on my phone, and it wants me to pay again for it on my macbook. Is there a way for me to get it without paying again?

The iOS and Mac versions of iMovie are in effect separate programs (coded completely differently for the two operating systems) and have to be purchased separately.

Any ideas on how to get my home button to work like it should?

I have the third generation iPad and have been having intermittent problems with the home button. The iPad seems to work just fine,
but sometimes the home button doesn't do anything. If I am in Safari and want to change to Mail, for example, the only way to get that done
is to turn the iPad off, let it rest a short time, turn it back on and then go to the screen I want. I can navigate within an app, but can't change apps
without going through the above...a real hassle! I had an appointment with the Genius Bar (Have Apple Care), but then the Home button started
working for a while and at this time of year, I really don't want to go to the Apple Store! Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

How do I get the home button in Firefox 18.0.1 to open the home pages in existing tabs instead of new tabs? I have tried some add on with no luck.

I have tried the following Add on - Tab Utilities and Tab Mix Plus.
Basically on start up of Mozilla, I have five tabs that load. After surfing/working a bit online, I would like to reload the five original tabs back to the original home page/load settings. If I click on the home button, five more tabs load, giving me ten tabs instead of the five original that I desire.
Are there any other add on that would fix this. I tried the two above but either they do not offer it or I don't know what settings to choose.

The best way to keep your home page in the tab is to open other links in a new tab with a middle-click.<br />
Clicking the home page always open a new set, so you would have to close the current tabs first to prevent getting multiple home page sets.<br />
I don't know if there is still an extension that can open the home pages and replace the current set.

How can I get my home button to start working again?

I got the Ipod 4 when it first came out. Shortly after i had gotten it the button had stopped working on it, so I had set up the home button that you have on the screen. Is there any way that I can fix it?

Try:
- 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.

Is there a way to put a pdf on newsstand without using iBook?

I have some travel pdfs that i'd like to access on my iPhone 4. Is there a way to put them directly onto newsstand, without having to download iBooks (and use up valuable space)?
Thanks!

Get a free online storage account (box.net, dropbox, sugarsync, google drive or whichever of the dozens of free offerings you like - I use box.net most of the time and it works well). Then, put your PDF files up on the cloud storage account and only download the one or ones you need at any given time. You can limit your transfers to only when you have a free wifi hotspot available. That will minimize how much space you need to use for PDF document storage.
As others mentioned, you have to load a PDF into an app to even see it - iBook if you like, or any of the dozens of PDF reader and editing apps available in the app store (Adobe Reader is available there, and is free).

With apple insurance, how much does it cost to get the home button fixed?

My home button is not working reliably; I would like to know how much it would cost to get it fixed if I have the apple insurance.

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

Getting current date without using client's clock

Is there a way to get the current date without using client's clock?
The java application we developed has many windows on which the Current Date is an important display field. As it's used 24x7, we need to make sure the date is current.
Right now, we make a CORBA service call to get the date from the server everytime the user Resets any of these windows. This is causing a peformance issue due to the slow service call.
Is it possible to get the Date once from the server and then start a timer to derive the date thereafter. Will a change in the client's clock affect this logic ? Can we implement this without using client's system time.
Or is there another better way ?
Thanks for your help.

If I can summarize your current requirements:
1. You need to know the time.
2. You don't trust the client's clock so you want to get the time from another computer.
3. You want this access to be "not too slow".
I find requirement number 2 to be peculiar, I've never seen an application that doesn't accept the time on the client system as valid. However, there it is. Maybe it's a system for checking employees in and out, and the smarter ones have been faking out the system by changing the clock. If your CORBA connection is too slow, and NTP is too slow (it takes the little program I got from USNO about 3 seconds to synchronize my clock), why not write your own time server? A simple web server that returns only the time to any request would work. If that's not fast enough then I'd suggest you're out of luck.
