can anyone help please. how do i get the home button to appear on the touch screen my home button has stopped working?

I have same problem.
However, I am unable to turn on Assistive Touch.
At one time I was able to activate it, but it went away and now I cant reactivate.
What is the solution?

My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
* Enable AssistiveTouch
Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
*Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device *if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning*. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

The home button has stopped working on my iphone 5c. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode.

Have an iphone 5c 8g. The home button has stopped working. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode and no evidence of damage.

If you are playing in hockey arenas a lot or if you are bringing it into bathroom same time as shower it may not seem like much but overtime the steam can acquire and build up in the phones usb dock flex cable swell as the home button flex cable. Bring again into apple store and should be covered under warranty again. could also be a delay in a 8gb 5c software may just be very lag.

My iphone home button has stopped working

My iphone's home button has been acting up and sometimes it didnt work but now my home button just doesnt work at all. Also last night I used the Keep it clean wipes to clean out the home button and now it just wont work but when I try to re calibrate the home button like when I go to photos or stocks and I hold down the power button until it say '' slide to power off '' then I press and hold the home button and it still force quits back to the home screen when I do that but when I press the home button to go back to the home screen or to use the multitasking or when the voice control it doesnt work anymore I dont know what to do. Ive got an appointment tomorrow at the genius bar and my 1 year warranty just expired a few weeks ago (25 june)
Also I dont want to get the phone replaced as everything on the phone works except for the home button now
Also If I take in the phone will they just fix the home button or replace the extire home button ? and if so how much will it cost ?
Also and after I used the wipes the home button did still work but it just stopped working today when I was in the car and I wiped the phone with my shirt to clean the dust and it just completely stopped working
Any help appreciated as Im feeling extremely sad now because I love this phone and its useless now without the home button
Thanks

I am running windows 7. My itunes keep shutting down on me. I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working What can I do?

I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working. A problem has caused itunes to stop working correctly. What can be the cause?

Hello Main Event,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article while researching iTunes quitting unexpectedly on Windows 7 and feel it will help to resolve the issue here.
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
It starts with troubleshooting 3rd party plug ins, then moves on to account troubleshooting if needed.
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any inference with plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you see the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the Create a New User Account section below. If you do not experience the same issue, consult iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-insfor steps on how to remove third-party plug-ins.
Take care,
Sterling

My iPhones home button has stopped working.

My home button for my iphone 4 has stopped working, i didnt break it but i have been inside the phone, though I havent changed anything.
Will Apple repair my iphone for free, or give me a new one for free?

If you've opened your phone, your warranty is void. Apple won't touch your phone. Only option now is to find a 3rd party repair shop.

My mic has stopped working, what can i do?

I don't know if it loose or broken from being dropped but i suddenly stopped working, I can't hear anyone from incoming or outcoming calls and they can't hear me, when i ring someone i can't even hear the dial tone or it calling, but when i put my headset in and mess about with it and push against it, it started to work slightly but not much, but i can hear my music through the headset.
