My home button won't work

My husband's I-pad has been playing up! His home button won't work, and this keeps happening.

Try a reset ...
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Beyond that, restore the iPad > iTunes: Restoring iOS software

My ipod home button won't work or its jammed help

My ipod home button won't work or its jammed or something help.

What should I do if the home button won't work?

You can 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.
As a a workaround, you can use Multitasking Gestures if you can't get the home button to work.

However, you might want to try restoring the iPad to see if that returns the functionality of the home button and/or take it to an Apple Store and let a Genius have a look at it.

Help, my home button won't work at all!!!

Hi,
my home button won't work at all, and when I tried to restart the phone, the message appears that this action won't work unless the phone is on the airplane mode. Can't really read the whole message cause it disappears after a second or so.
I put the phone on the charger and the USB connection also failed.
What happened?

It sounds like it's broken. Assuming you haven't jailbreaked or otherwise hacked it you should try a Restore or a Recovery. If you put it in the cradle and you can't restore it see: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797 for Recovery mode.
If this doesn't work call Apple or take it to an Apple store; it probably needs to be replaced.
If it HAS been hacked go to the source of your hacking tools for help; we aren't allowed to discuss it here.

*** HOME button won't work all of a sudden - help!

I have a weird problem. My phone hasn't been dropped on the ground or in water but all of a sudden, the home button doesn't work anymore. Nothing feels broken on the phone (i.e. the button doesn't feel like it won't press down) but whenever I'm in an app and need to exist, pressing the home button does nothing! If I'm in my email and want to surf Safari, I have to reboot my phone - which is obviously very annoying.
I tried restoring my iPhone as both a new phone and from my latest backup but it still doesn't work - bummer. Is my phone broken or does anyone have any tips and tricks that could get it up and running again?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Possibly a hardware problem. Mine developed that issue, although at first a really hard press worked. Apple replaced my phone.

If my iPod Touch 4G is under warranty, can Apple repair or replace it if the home button won't work?

I've had my iPod Touch 4G for about 10 months now so the warranty is still in affect. The home button appears to be stuck or won't work anymore. I can press down on it and I hear a click but it's inresponsive. I've already looked up and tried numerous things to fix it, but nothing works. I have assistive touch but ever since I started using it, apps close or freeze within minutes of opening it.
If I bring it to an apple store or send it in, can they fix the home button or replace my itouch?
Thanks

If the ipod is defective then they will replace it.
Make an appointment at the genius bar.

My home button won't work correctly after I plug the charger in

My iPhone 5s's home button doesn't respond correctly after i plug in the charger. I'm not sure what's wrong.
At first, it wouldn't charge so i had to find a different charger that i had ordered from amazon (not from apple) and it only worked when i plugged it in with one side. the other chargers that i have from apple do not work. the home button sometimes works correctly, but im sure that it starts to not respond correctly after i plug the charger in. i have tried almost everything i could find on the internet. im not sure if its a hardware or software problem. please help. thank you

Sorry but I'm not clear. Do you have more than one charger from Amazon? Did this problem start after you used the charger(s) you got from Amazon and now using the Apple brand chargers it doesn't work either? I'm wondering if the Amazon charger damaged the phone.

Ipad home button won't work

My iPad 2 'Home' button ceased working - this means that any application stayed on the screen, and I hadto power the device off to access another app.
Later, I follwed some of the advice online, - powering it off while holding the 'home' button. It didn't appear to work - but eventually it did! What did I do right? Is this a sign of bad things to come?
It's 18 months old.

is it brand new cuz i remember hearing how ppl were sold the fake display versions of ipads and ipods so it might be that if not then send a report in to apple for a fixing or replacement if within warranty it will be free

My home button won't work. What do I do to fix it?

I tried powering off and restarting but nothing is doing the trick. Phone was fine last night and then this morning it would not go home.

Or it could be that the home button is uncalibrated or something. If it were stuck you could just replace it yourself, but I'd have an Apple Genius look at this one.

HT201412 My home button won't work? How do I fix it?

I have re-started a few times and the home button will not work

You can't fix hardware failures with software.
Take it to an Apple store for service.

What do I do with my iPod Touch 4g when the home button does not work and when I plug it in to charge it always says that charging is not avaible with this accesory?

iPod Touch 4g home button won't work plus will not charge properly

Take it to a reputable third-party repair shop. Apple will not touch it after you have opened it up and tinkered with the works.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and see/her what they say. The may have a quick fix. Otherwise they will exchange it for a refurbished one for this price.

HT1476 i-phone3 wont recharge; initially home button wouldn't work. Applied the 'auto-touch button thing' via settings. This worked until I ran out of battery life. Now it won't recharge either via laptop (usually does) or wall switch. Just a blk screen.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.
