My home button stopped working, any ideas on how to fix it?, my home button stopped working, any ideas on how to fix it?
i need help!!!!
Here are some things my research turned up:
1 depress home button on one side, place a thin bristled tooth brush underneath if possible and move it around
2 put a tiny drop of alcohol on the edge of the button. Using a rubber push the button and work the alcohol underneath. . Then press home button repeatedly. I wouldnt recommend doing that but if u r desperate...

My home button stopped working ....any ideas on how to fix??
I've had my Ipad 2 for less than a week and all of a sudden the home button stopped working. Any ideas on what I can do to fix it or should I try to bring back for a replacement?
See if you can do any of these - but you need the home button to try the first one - or you must have multitasking gestures enabled on the iPad in order to try the second one.
Reboot 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 the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button. 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 you have multitasking gestures turned on - you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen with four fingers to get to the recents tray. -

Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these. -
Any ideas on how to get my home button to work like it should?
I have the third generation iPad and have been having intermittent problems with the home button. The iPad seems to work just fine,
but sometimes the home button doesn't do anything. If I am in Safari and want to change to Mail, for example, the only way to get that done
is to turn the iPad off, let it rest a short time, turn it back on and then go to the screen I want. I can navigate within an app, but can't change apps
without going through the above...a real hassle! I had an appointment with the Genius Bar (Have Apple Care), but then the Home button started
working for a while and at this time of year, I really don't want to go to the Apple Store! Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Did you actually restore the iPad? Or just restore settings?

My iPad3 has suddenly stopped working, it won't charge up and the screen is blank I have tried to reboot the device by holding the top and home buttons but I don't even get the Apple logo. any advice?
Plug it into the charger/wall socket and let it charge for at least an hour. It just might start charging. If you have already tried charging it for a fair amount of time and it didn't work, try restoring the device with iTunes.

my ipad with retina eye updated to IOs 7 not able to boot ....the normal way of pressing the sleep/wake button and the home button does'nt work....any ideas i think that IOs 7 is a crap cos form the time i loaded it it was shaky...now my ipad is dead
If it is one year old minus one day it is still under warranty. If it is more than a year since you purchased it then yes, the warranty has expired.
Millions of iPads have been sold. Most continue to function long after their warranty has expired. Check the many requests about updating the iOS on the original iPad on these forums and you'll see that there are many iPads still working after three years. My iPad 2, which I had for over two years is still working well for my son in law who took it over from me when I bought a new one.
Given that there will always be a few iPads that fail early. Most of those will be covered under warranty. But some will fail after the warranty has expired and before the owner expected it to. I'm sorry to hear that you are in this category. Take your iPad to an Apple store and have it looked at. They will provide you with alternatives, one of which is to purchase a like model to the one that failed at a discount. You can then know your options and make the best choice for you. -
my ipod touch is not working , i tried to rest it holding the power button and home for a while but that does not help..
any idea ?Connect the iPod to its syncing computer. Let it charge for 1/2 hour . If iTunes sees the iPod restore it via iTunes
Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

home button no longer working after upgrade to ios6 software on my iphone4..anything i can do to frix this or apple send me a new device. phone no good without a home button
The button's broken. S**t happens. Apple will replace your phone. If in waranty it will be free of charge. If not, you will pay $149.
You can elect to have it repaired at a 3rd party shop near you if you choose, but this will void all warranty if there's any left. -
When I double click Home button to change apps quickly, only the four apps that reside on the task bar show. All of my apps would show prior to my reset of the iPad last night (to fix the Home button). Any ideas on how to fix?
My undertanding is that when you double-click the home button, the apps that are shown are those that are currently active. The reason you are not seeing all of them is that not all of them are active. Before you can access an app in the multitask bar, it has to be turned on first. As a test, try accessing the Notes application. Return to the home screen by clicking the Home button ONCE. Once the home screen appears, double click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar. The Notes app should be on the far left.
