My ipod 3g home and power button wont work!
Last night I woke up to find my ipod touch on. IT was probably on for 4-5 hours. I pressed the sleep button but nothing happened. I pressed it over and over but no luck. So I tried press the home and power button on at the same time but nothing happened. Eventually it went to sleep and restarted and the home button worked but not the sleep. I restarted it again and now both of the buttons dont work. I restarted it at least 4 times. Eventually the home but will work but it lags about 40 seconds. During the night my ipod would shut off, shut on, picture, shutt off shut on, picture etc etc. I dont think the buttons are totally busted and I feel like I can fix it. I haven't tried putting it into itunes yet. Someone please help!

Some of the above also apply to the Power button. Also see the previous discussions on the right side of this page listed under the heading More Like This.
- Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for:

- A third-party place like the following will fix the switch for less.

My iphone is stuck on the settings screen and the home and lock buttons wont work. I can navigate through the settings but canot go home or turn orr or reset my phone. Please help):
I had the same situation with my iPod touch 5th gen. You can manually reboot it thru pressing sleep/wake button and holding it up to 10 secs - no data will be lost.. This didn't work in mine, but to some it did..
If it won't work, you could do what I did which is I reset all settings in the Reset part. It won't lose any data, just the settings (if you have just less settings did to the device, which I had). So just configure or tweak things again in the settings when it reset again.
Hope this somehow helps! -
My screen is frozen and the home and off buttons wont work. what should i do?
What do you do if your iPad screen freezes and it wont do anything? Home and off buttona wont work!
Have you tried both together for a Reset? Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
Failing that see here for unresponsive iPads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 -
Idk what to write here
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem or a botched repair job. Take it back to where you got it fixed. -

My home and power button is not responding after I deleted an app from my settings. Can anyone help?
I went to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7 but needed to create some space. After deleting a couple of apps, my home and power buttons now aren't responding.
Has this happened to anyone else before? I've read that a back up and restore might help.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, ClairePlace the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:

my ipod power button wont work but i feel it pressing the button. its not stuck its just defective. what do i do
Try restoring the iPod to rule out a software problem. First restore from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod.
Then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
I used my house phone to call the iphone to see if it will help and my iphone rang but i couldnt do anything about it. The screen just stayed off and the home and on/off button wont affect it.
Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

I have reached out to this community as my Iphone display gone black and got the solution to keep home and power button pressed. It worked but I would like to know
1. Why it went black and is there a permanent fix for this
2.Will the IOS gets automatically updated as I feel the IOS was 5 when I got the phone in 2012 december
3.Do you suggest 7.1 for Iphone 41. There is no way of knowing. These things happen.
2. The iOS only gets updated when you want it to be.
3. You should always update to the latest iOS your phone will support. Apple do not write the updates to make your experience worse.
