My home button on 5c keeps rotating

Recently the home button on my iphone 5c has been rotating so the square is always squint. If I apply pressure I can turn it back round again but it always slides back the way. It works alright but it is really annoying and I'm just expecting it to stop working soon with all the twistin

First, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, and to make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test Home Button.
If the phone works as before the update, restore from the latest backup. If the problem comes back, the backup data contained corrupt data, causing your issues.
If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

How do I delete the download button which is next to my home button? I keep clicking it when I want home and it is annoying.

How do I delete the download button which is next to my home button?

You can use the Customize feature to move it to a less irritating location. I suggest the Add-on bar if you keep that displayed.
Start customizing with either of these, then drag the arrow to a new location, or into the dialog to remove from all bars:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Customize
* tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Customize
You will notice that some of the combined controls split apart in the customize view. If you put anything between them, they won't be able to recombine. (For example, if you separate stop and reload, or put something between back/forward and the URL box.)

My ipod keeps taking pictures of the screen when i keep pressing the home button, my ipod keeps taking pictures of the screen when i keep pressing the home button

I broke my ipod a few months ago, but I got it fixed for my birthday. The wake/sleep button was permanently broken though and my ipod still has glithces in which it randomly takes pictures of what is on the screen. These glitches have been small until today when I was using it. When I pressed the home button, it took a picture of the screen and it has been continuously doing that for about and hour now. What can I do to fix it? Please help.

I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1 with this same issue.
When the phone is locked and has been left unattended for a while, sometimes when I first press the home button (to illuminate the screen ready to unlock it) it causes the phone to take screen capture.
My power/lock button is not stuck, as I can use it to lock and unlock the phone as normal. There is however one oddity in that if I power of the phone it cannot be power back on by pressing the power button! To power up the phone it has to be plugged into a charger, which (thankfully) automatically causes the phone to power on.
I'm sure the two issues are related, but I've even after replacing the flex cable that operates the power button, headphone jack, volume buttons and mute switch I've been unable to resolve either the screen capture issue or the powering on issue.
.....it's quite strange

IPad home button cover that keeps button active

Hello folks,
I have 1st Gen iPad that I use sometimes. Recently, DS has been using it but with his dirty/hands, a lot of dirt gets trapped under the button and it becomes unresponsive. I wonder if there is any home button cover that I can use which will let him use the home button but the dirt from his hands won't get under the button.
Many thanks in advance.

I had this problem with an iPad2, purchased in May 2011. It occured at about the 8 month point. After a few weeks of increasingly erratice behavior, the home button failed completely. Apple replaced the iPad, in the store, without question. The problem occured again, in the brand new iPad, after 60 days. It appears to be a known issue. Resets and restores did not solve the problem.
I am currently using the second iPad with its home button working less and less consistently. As a workaround, I use the ACCESSIBILITY setting in Settings / General. I have it turned on. It gives me an on screen option for the home button. Should the physical button fail completely, as it did in my first iPad, this will at least give me an option to use the iPad until I take it back to the store. This is important if you want to remove confidential data before turning the iPad in for repair.
It goes without saying that this is disappointing.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup

Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How do i fix a home button that keeps pressing itself

My home button keeps pressing itself at random times without me even touching or holding the device. When I press the home button itself once in awhile it works, most of the time it doesn't. I've already done all the possible quick fixes suggested online (rotating the home button, pushing upwards with the charger in, resetting to factory settings, etc.) with no success. I've spoken with two apple geniuses and they both told me I'd need to replace the home button and display since they are "connected." A friend insists the apple geniuses are BSing me and that only the home button needs to be replaced. A simple search online shows the home button and display are not connected as one piece. I tried to be very frank with the second genius to get a straightforward real answer and he still insisted both would need to be replaced. Am I missing something? I'm very wary of trying to solve the problem myself since the genius kept reminding me if I were to attempt to fix it myself apple would not be able to help me at all after that if I should fail. I've seen tutorials online but there are many home button problems (not responsive at all, not clicking) that are common yet different from mine. Has anyone every had a similar problem? Am I missing something about the display and home button being connected somehow? Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated and hopefully sooner rather than later; since I'm tired of my voice control being activated and embarrassingly calling random people (especially ones I haven't spoke to in years!). Thanks in advance !

Yes yes I understand the risks of apple not touching my phone after I've handled it myself. Apple is asking for an amount just shy of what I paid for the phone and the warranty is up so.. What I was really trying to ask for is advice from anyone who has opened an iPhone 5 themselves or is knowledgeable in the areas of iphone surgery so they could tell me a bit more about the home button and display being connected. I have no set plans to do this myself or to ask anyone else to as of now, I simply just want to understand the problem more since both geniuses were very vague. Although... I think I may have stepped into the wrong forum for this info as most seem to be valiant guardians of apple inc. Thanks much for what responses there were though.
1. You didn't pay anywhere near $269 or $129 USD + tax for your iPhone 5. If you bought it from a carrier and got a 'discount', that 'discount' was repaid as part of your contract. It's 'deferred' payment, not really a 'discount'. On average, you 'defer' about $450 when you buy an iPhone from a carrier. So, take whatever you actually 'paid', and add $450 to it. That's what the iPhone 5 actually cost you.
2. The Home Button is an integral part of the display. Even at an Apple Store, when the display is replaced so is the Home Button, as part of the 'kit'.
3. Actually, it's more about being guardians for you, not Apple. We're advising you to avoid something that will void your support from Apple.
There are NO user serviceable parts for an iPhone. Anything you've seen online is not official, unless it came from Appel directly.

error 3194
I can't update my phone and I AM using the latest update of Itunes AND have restarted computer and followed everything. I'm to the point of booking an app't with the genius bar because I'm finding apples instructions and this latest update to be a complete waste of time.

HT1688 My iphone keeps blanking out and then when I press then home button it tells me the battery is dead. it has happened to me at 30%, but today it was at 71%, is there a fix for this?

My iphone keeps blanking out and then when I press then home button it tells me the battery is dead. it has happened to me at 30%, but today it was at 71%, is there a fix for this?

This is often due to faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button? This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

Why does my home button keep sticking. I have to press it 4 or 5 times for it to take me from an app back to the home page

My home button keeps sticking. I have to press it about 4 or 5 times to move from an app back to home page. Very frustrating when I want to change apps in a hurry. I have had the phone for just over a year without any problems. This started about three weeks ago. is there anything i can do or must I take the phone back to the supplier?

This is usually caused by gunk building up in and around the button.

HT5642 my ipod touch 5th gen is not recognized since I tried to update ios. It says it is in recovery mode but it just keeps looping back to recovery mode. I tried holging power button for 3 sec. then both home and power for 10 sec then home button for 20

My ipod touch 5th generation went into recovery mode when I tried to update ios. When I try to recover it just keeps looping back to recovery mode. I tried to hold the power button for 3 secs. then simultaneously hold the home button for 10 secs. then hold only power button for 20 secs. I tried this several times to no avail. This is my daughter's ipod. I am computer illiterate and I'm not sure what else to try.

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Touch keeps hitting the home button

Before I begin, I have a 32GB 3rd generation iPod Touch. I bought it off of Amazon directly and it arrived January 27 of this year.
And until 2 days ago, I loved it and it worked great. However, now it keeps hitting the home button on its own. It does have a case, but even when the case is removed it continues to be a "phantom." My iPod is not jailbroken or anything. No matter what I do on it, it will eventually hit the home button, which closes me out of what I was doing. I Google'd this before and it said to restart it and or restore it. I have done both and it continues to have this problem. If anyone has a solution to this, PLEASE help me or I will have to call Apple and most likely ship it to them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I talked to an Apple Expert and just brought it to UPS.
Thank you David. I had a 1 year warranty.

please help

Has nothing to do with the SIM or master reset. This has been done to my phone. The SIM once and the factory reset many times over. You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract. I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong. I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts. The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!
