Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!
Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!
TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.

After upgrading ipad to iOS 7.1 I can no longer close open apps by double clicking home button. Any ideas
Double-tap on the Home button. You will see a preview of the app above the actual icon. Slide the preview up to kill it.

Just down loaded iOS 5.1 now the home button on the side of I pad is not working
Down load new iOS 5.1 now the home button on the front of iPad is not working.
Pam, I don't think I was rude and, in particular, I did not intend to be. The Home button is the Home button regardless of whether you hold the device in portrait, landscape or even in an upside down position! In fact, I wondered if you meant the side switch (above the volume buttons) and my phraseology was meant to nudge you in that direction had you wrongly described it. Regardless, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and went on to make two suggestions which shows that I wanted to help.
If nobody else comes up with a suggestion you might wish to go down the route suggested in this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
As an aside, but still on the help theme, there are a remarkable number of people who come on to this forum seeking help, get it, and never take the trouble to report if they get the problem sorted out!
Varjak paw. Thank you for your discernment. -
I opened my iPod Touch up to fix my home button. When i closed it back up it had a white screen. I tried pressing lock and home button for 10 seconds and it worked but while i'm using it it goes white with lines on the screen. Help please. This has been happening for a while and i've tried everything but it doesn't work.

I used my iPod yesterday, and it was charged. I put it on the floor, and took it into my room before I went to bed. I wanted to check what I missed while I wasn't using it, but it was "off". I put it on the charger, and it should've been charged up by morning. It still didn't turn on. I tried plugging it into my iMac, but nothing happens when I plugo in my iPod, but works with my iPad. My home button is also jammed, and I've tried to get it To work again, but I've had no luck.
Is there something I can do to turn my iPod on again?Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

- 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.

My home button on my iPad2 isn't working anymore.....I use four fingers to swipe back to homepage...what should I do??
It seems bizarre to suggest either of these fixes because they both require the use of the home button. However, I haven seen reports that both of these "fixes" have worked for other users in the past. They may not work for you, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If still no luck, take your iPad to an Apple Store and let a genius take a look at it. You have the iPad 2 and it still has to be under the one year warranty. -
My app store is not working. I followed instructions to hold wake/sleep home button....did not work, I went into settings, general, reset network settings....didn't work...now what?
Did you try to go to Settings > Store, tap on Apple ID, Log out and Login again.
What message do you get when you open the App Store? -

Out of the blue my iPhone 4S home button and notification centre has stopped working.
Out of the blue my iPhone 4S home button and notification centre has stopped working. I used the phone and switched it off. The next time I turned it on they weren’t working. The phone wasn’t dropped on banged around. – Any Ideas, Anyone??
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Have ALL of these steps been tried?
If you've been through ALL these steps and still have problems, you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation. -
No camera shortcut button on lockscreen after double tapping home button
Even after double tapping home button on lock screen I get no camera shortcut, just Itunes controls. I have closed all applications and restarted Ipad and still wont show up. Pleeeeease Help very frustrating
You need to double click the home button. Have you tried that? The camera button does not appear by default. It pops up after the double click.
Hope this helps. -
Hi.. My Iphone acts as if it is dead. Tried a lot with Sleep +home buttons as well, but did not worked. When it is plugged in, keeps on charging with a regular beep. Please advise.
Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button. (Nowhere near the LCD/digitizer flex cables, connections, or logic board components) then a few months later my phone had died, I plugged it in, it showed it was charging, then Apple logo disappeared and screen didn't work. AFTER contacting Apple about the issue and them telling me that it "is a result of the very minimal crack to the sheet of glass that has no relation to the LCD or Digitizer and that the warranty does not cover it I had taken it upon myself to change the LCD/digitizer to no avail, as well as backlight ic and backlight coil to no avail. But how do I go about letting Apple know that it is in fact NOT due to the cracked screen nor is it due to the flex cable connections? I can't. So the lady that works the call center phones trying to "convince" me that she knows what she is talking about and "convince" me that it is from the cracked screen I have to take her word because I can't show Apple that its not because of that without paying them $199 to fix the screen in which case they will just send me a new phone rather than fix the faulty hardware under warranty.

The home button of my iPod is not working and it got 1 year of warranty and going to Apple store, my iPod is silver color. if they give me a new one can I pick another color ?
No, they will give you a refurbished (but basically a brand-new) iPod touch in the same color. I have the Silver as well...sort of kicking myself for not waiting for the Blue one to come back in stock.

My home button is stuck so it cant work and when i am in the safari or app stire i dont know how to go back does anybody know how to get it un stuck?
a temporary fix is to hold down the power button until you see a bar that says "slide to power off". slide the bar and wait about 2 minutes+then holding the power button when screen goes blank for around a minute? your device should now turn back on. you will be at the home menu.
now to know how to fix the problem instead of avoiding it i am not sure. hope this temporarily fixed your problem
is your device still in a 1 year warranty?
