If you're not feeling any clicking action when you push on it, I would get the button/switch replaced.

Ipods automatically have a one year warrany unless you have violated the terms. But you can pay to extend the warranty. It depends, they may fix it for free or they may charge a bit. Im not entirely sure. But id say theres a good chance that they may fix it for free. With battery replacements, ive heard that they give you an entirely new ipod with a charge of $80. So i think it depends

My home button stop working. what to do?

Hello,
i have an ipad2. Suddenly, the home button stop working. Someone could help me please?

This requires the use of the home button, but try it anyway.
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.
If that doesn't work, try this. Calibrate the home button
1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the home button. Hold until the red slider disappears.

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.

IPhone 5S home button stopped working after iOS 8.3 update

My home button stopped working after I updated it to the iOS 8.3. My finger print can still unlock the phone but the home button won't work.

What you are describing sounds more like a hardware issue than a software issue. Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local apple retail store and have the device evaluated.

My home button stopped working and now iPad mini will not turn.

My home button stopped working a few weeks ago, and now my iPad mini will not turn on. I can't restart the iPad, and it will not pop up in iTunes. What can I do?

Make an appointment with the nearest apple store and they will be able to replace it or give you directions otherwise. Hope this helps

I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

No.

Home button stops working occasionally

iPhone 4 with 4.3 firmware though this problem has been happening for a couple of months now even with older firmware. I don't have a cover or screen protector on the phone.
Occasionally, the home button does not respond. Sometimes, it finally responds after many clicks. At other times, I eventually give up. This may be just my imagination, but the problems may be happening more often when the battery is low. When I plug the phone into my computer and come back a while later, the home button usually starts working flawlessly again.
What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Reza

Thanks for the advice. The home button stopped responding again Thursday night. Friday morning, I must have pressed it 100 times, and it finally started to respond. Went to the Apple store in the afternoon. It wasn't displaying the problem, so they couldn't replace the phone. But they made a note of my visit in their records, and asked that I go back if it does this again. I think that's fair.
One interesting thing the tech did was point out to me that all my apps were still loaded even though I had rebooted the phone many times, and had only used a few of them recently. The phone remembers which apps were loaded before a reboot or a sync, and loads them again in the background. He suggested I close the unneeded ones (double click the home button to display the 4 most recent apps on the bottom; touch an app icon and hold it for the red "-" sign to appear; press the "-" to close the app; scroll over the apps) and see if that makes a difference. We'll see.
Thanks,
Reza

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
