My Home Button is Broken :( How can they help??
Hi, I have a Ipod touch 4th Gen 8gb and my home button doesn't work, It stopped working awhile agoso I have been using the Assistive touch, But i would love to get it fixed. What can Apple do??
If you are under warranty you can most likely take it to apple to get it replaced for free. If not you can get an out of warranty repair for $99. another option that you have is iresq they charge $59 dollars to have the ipod home button fixed. iPod Touch Gen 4 Home Button Repair/Replacement Service (BLACK OR WHITE)

my iPod 5th generation won't turn on and my home button broke so how can I turn on my iPod without having to press both buttons. please help!
See this previous discussion:
Turn on without Home/Power Button -
I've tried buying new chargers and plugging them into different outlets around the house but the iPod will not respond to anything. The home button is broken so I can't reset the iPod by holding both the home and lock screen buttons down, and it won't even connect to iTunes when plugged into my computer. How can I fix this issue? The iPod never overheated or anything, and it still had charge left before it quit responding.
Unfortunately for you, the home button is necessary for reset and also to put the device into recovery mode or DFU mode. Since that is not working, and the device is not recognized in iTunes, check the charging port area. There could be dust, lint, etc, that is blocking the connection for charging, and connecting to iTunes. If nothing seems wrong there, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider, depending on your location. There is no other option.

My ipod is locked & i have forgotton th passcode. My home button is broken. Is there a way for me to unlock my ipod.
Place the iOS device in recovery mode using one of these programs and thenrestore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
my ipod 5th generation won't turn on or charge and i can't hold in both the button to charge it because the hoe button is broken, what can i do to fix it?
You are going to have to take it to the Apple Store to see if they can do anything for you. The Home button is critical for using your device. You need to get it fixed.

i cant restore my ipod because its desabled and it says connect to itunes. also itunes is asking me to put in a pasword but i cant and my home button does not work
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Next use the method discussed in the following for placing the iPod in Recovery mode without buttons

My home button stopped working, how can i fix it myself?
i have an iphone 5, and the first one i had the lock button stopped working so i had to get a new one, i just dropped this one and now the home button doesnt work.... is that something i can fix? and if so, how?
IFixIt.com gurus rate i5 repairs as "moderate to difficult" at best. An experienced jockey who's done a few dozen may be able to open the thing without breaking the screen, a first-timer, very doubtful. And it should still be within its one-year warranty, so let Apple deal with the issue.
But if you insist and are fond of electronic corpses, have fun: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPhone_5 -

My iphone 5 locking button broken so i want to make it fixed . And i bought it thailand in 10.12.2012 and i am living in turkey so do ı have to send it thai or somewhere near turkey
You have to bring it to Thailand or send it to a friend/relative there to
take in for you. Apple Thailand will not accept international shipments
for repair/replacement nor will it ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
iPhone warranty is valid only in country of original purchase (EU is considered
one country for this purpose). -

IPod touch 4g won't turn on and my home button is broken
My iPod touch that I just got last March won't turn on after putting it to "sleep" while I was in class today. My Home Button does not respond that well so I used SBSettings as an alternative. I've encountered this situation before but my Home Button was 100% working back then. I resolved it by holding the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time. Now that my Home Button is broken, I can't fix it anymore. Does anyone know any alternatives on how to fix this?

I just bought my iPod Touch (4th Generation 8GB) from my friend and the home button doesn't work. Then, my parents took it away for about 6 months and I just got it back and I forgot my password. Then, I tried to get in too many times and now it says "iPod Disabled Connect to iTunes". Then, when I connect it to iTunes, it says for my to put in my password so it can connect. I've been trying to get back in but haven't found a way to restore it. HELP!!!!!
P.S. It's jailbroken, but the damage isn't due to Cydia. Also, I can't put it into DFU mode since the home button is broken.Actually, I can give it to someone who fixes jailbroken iPod touch home buttons, but I don't want to pay anything. Also, if you just have something to say to me that will kill me, don't say it at all dude.
