    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

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

    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.

  • 4th gen iPod home button doesn't work

    well here's the story:
    since i've had my ipod (the christmas of '12), it has been pretty much fine, seemed uncrackable etc.
    so early this week, out of the blue, i go to take my ipod out from bag and it was (on and) cracked. shocked, i didn't know what to think. but to prevent little pieces of glass from falling out from the cracks, i decided to cover it up with tape (the normal clear tape). this seemed to be doing a good job to hold me off until i have enough to replace the screen.
    my ipod was working perfectly fine for the day, when suddenly, next thing i know, my home button doesn't work, it's stuck. i have the alternative home button right now ( the whatever-button), but honestly, it bothers me a whole lot and i can't stand it.
    does anyone have an idea how i can fix my home button? and if the cracks have anything to do with the now nonworking button? the cracks are all around the button, so i've been lead to believe this might be the case?
    so please, help!!!!

    Could be that what ever caused the screen to break also resulted in the button problem. You can try:

  • *** 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.

  • Ipod power button won't work

    As of late, my power button is acting weird.  Either when you press the power button it won't turn on.. or it will.. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't..
    To get it to turn off if the power button won't work, I'll just drain the battery.  Anybody know anything to help?

    That's a hardware problem.  Apple doesn't repair it.  If there is no sign of abuse (don't try to fix it yourself), they replace it with a refurbished unit.  The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

  • Home button doesn't work ....HELP!

    My home button barely ever works anymore, not sure what to do to fix it.

    A hardware problem requires a hardware repair.
    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby to confirm there is a hardware problem.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/
    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

  • IPod's buttons won't work

    I was trying to listen to my iPod but it won't let me scroll or use the center button for anything. I've tried resetting/restarting and it didn't work. Any advice?

  • My ipod ouch 4th gen wont turn on o charge and the home button doesn't work could someone please help me

    my ipod's home button wont work anymore and just last night my ipod shut off and wont yurn back on can someone tell me what to do please thank you

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Where it says place the iPod in rcovery mode use this program
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into 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 on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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.
