My home button gets stuck

My home button gets stuck and some days it wont work at all what shall i do?

My home button is not repsonsive, I have booked it at the Genuis Bar to be look at as it it still under waranty, but until then there is a way of adding a virtual button that allows you to bypass the home button.  Thought I would share this with you all, as after looking everywhere on the internet I havn't found anyone mention it.
First make sure you are on version 5
got to SETTING>GENERAL>ACCESSIBILITY>ASSISTIVE TOUCH
You will then have a button on the bottom right hand corner screen that is always there (you can move it around if its in the way).  Pressing it will allow you to go to the home screen.

  • Home button getting stuck

    my home button has been getting stuck i have to hold it down for awhile before anything pops up on my screen.  The top button works, and i have done a soft reset it will work for a couple of min then revert back to how it was..

    Sounds like you're developing a hardware failure.  Bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • My screen is cracked and my home button is stuck down. Where can I get this fixed?

    On my iPod touch 4th G my screen broke in the bottom right corner and there are spider cracks all the way up to the top of my iPod screen. Also, now my home button is stuck down; a shard of glass probably is preventing the button from popping back up. Where can I get this fixed?

    Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending up the capacity.

  • My Ipod 4g home button is stuck!

    My ipod home button is stuck and i really dont wanna have to take it to the store i just went there in the spring to replace my first one. i cant get it unstuck ive tried blowing in it and pushing it down really hard and then releasing it fastly but to no avail it rarely responds now and its driving me insane. any suggestions?

    Tried the alcohol for a couple of days and it was only temporary fix.
    To get a home button on your screen, go to Settings--> General-->Assistive Touch, under Settings/General /Accesability...
    That will give you a little button on your screen that acts as a home button.

  • 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

    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?

  • HT1430 My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck.  Pressing down on the sleep/wake button does not give me the red slider to turn the ipad off.  Is there any other way I can reset?

    My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck.  Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad?  Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

    No the battery is non removable.
    Try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • Someone else has a problem with volume button getting stuck?

    My volume button gets stuck when I keep pressing it, it's software or hardware issue?

    Restore as new, if that fixes the problem it is something in your settings or backup that was causing the issue.
    If it does not fix the problem, you have a hardware issue.
