My ipod screen and home button no longer work . the ipod doesnt even have a scratch on it. but it does turn on .what can i do?
first my ipods home button stopped working so i just used accessibility now the screen wont work , has no scratches . it turns on and everything else works except the keyboard and other spots of the screen
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
For PC

or

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- 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 and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Power and Home Button No Longer Work On Iphone 5, Fixable?
My power and home button are no longer functioning. Volume works. I'm currently using the phone by plugging it in and out to access the unlock screen. Once in I use the accessibility option that adds a home button to the touchscreen. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the issue could be. Holding power and home does not work.
Would replacing the home button ribbon help? I don't see it since they both quit working at the same time. What binds the two together? Do they share a connector? Could it be a software issue? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.There are many videos and guides about that, you can do it by yourself, its simple if your pattient, you can buy the replacement on ebay or in ifixit.com
this is the guide, hope it can help you.

Iphone 5 lock screen and power button no longer works?
With my iPhone 5 that I have had for around 10 months the lock/power button hardly ever works. I have to press the button many times and for multiple seconds for my phone to power on or off. What can I do? Will Apple replace it, and will they give me another 16 like I have now? I really want to know before my warranty runs out because I truly do love my phone and want it to work properly.
If it is determined that your problem is due to user abuse or damage, your warranty will be void; but you will be eligible for an out of warranty replacement for $269.

Help me!
You can add a virtual button that you can use - heres how:
First make sure you are on version 5
the go to SETTING>GENERAL>ACCESSIBILITY>ASSISTIVE TOUCH
You will then have a button on the bottom right hand corner screen that is always there (you can move it around if its in the way). Pressing it will allow you to go to the home screen.
Good luck - it happened to me too and this was a life saver - I booked it into be seen at the Genius bar but by the time my appointment came through (it took a few days) the home button started working again - literally just as I waas in the shop! Think it might have just got a bit sticky as my 2 year old was playing with it. -
I do not have apple care nor insurance for my iPod so i'm wondering how much it will cost? or will they just replace it with a refurbrished one?
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. If only battery is bad the exchange price is $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and do the exchange there

my ipod touch will not stop crashing, its pretty much un usable now, is it worth resetting to default settings and clearing everything. Its about two years old and the screens been smashed twice and replaced, the home button no longer works, and now its slow and basically nothing even opens or updates. is it the end of my ipods life now ahah.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. You can't do it
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

In updating for FFX 6 and 7, the next and prev buttons no longer work in slideshows on Yahoo news and similar sites. Sometimes the status bar shows the links as javascript: void or :null. Sometimes longer links. All javaconsole add-ins are shown as incompatible with these version of FFX.
i woudnt suggest it, but if your warranty is up it could just be a bad connection from the wheel...what generation do you have? my 4th generation 20 gig ceased to function and it was because somehow one of the cables had a bad connection. i took it to the apple store and they gave me an estimate for something i wasnt willing to pay on a 2 year old ipod so i just winged dissasembleing it and after taking apart the whole thing and reassembling it worked fine.

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. -
my home button just stopped working, the white mark isn't red so it isn't water damaged. i did get it wet but i put it in rice as soon as i could and dryed it off as much as i could but it still hasn't turned red and the button still isnt working. could i replace the phone for free? i just got this phone a week ago
No water damage will show up to Apple you have voided any warranty you may have
