My iPod Touch 5G home button is stuck?

I don't know what happened. It was working perfectly fine for the 3 months I've had it and all of a sudden, just right now, the button doesn't want to move. It's jammed in.
This is really upsetting as I wasted $320 on this thing and its what I use for everything. I'm using that thing that you can tap and brings you back to home but I want my button fixed.
It's still under warranty. Will apple replace it for me cost free or are they going to be an *** about it? Because I want to go tomorrow. I can't do this. My parents don't even know. I was going to tell my dad. If they do replace it, how long will it take or will they give it to me right then and there?

Yes, backup evertthing
Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
No, you will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data and songs. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod and does not offer any data transfer service.
iPod touch customers: Before obtaining service, you can back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Following service, your replacement iPod touch may have a newer version of the operating system (iOS) and you will need to restore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). You may also need to update your App Store apps for compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an app purchased from the App Store, check iTunes to see if an update is available or contact the app developer directly.

Is there a size difference between iPod Touch 1G home button and other versions of iPod Touch?

I have an old iPod Touch 1G home button that got stuck. So I bought a new home button to replace it and I'm having trouble fitting it in the hole that I'm replacing. I'm not sure the new button I have is for iPod Touch 1G or for other iTouch versions.
Does anyone know where I find a video how to replace iPod Touch home button and where can buy the home button if the button I have is not for 1G?

How to fix ipod touch 4g home button(jammed)

How to fix ipod touch 4g home button(jammed)?

Hey! So I found out this free way to be able to use the home button with no cost! It won't unjam it, but using this method you will have a touchscreen homebutton.
Directions:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to General
3. Scroll down and go to Accessibility
4. Scroll down and go to Assistive Touch
5. Then turn assistive touch on.
What you will see is a little white circle on the screen. When you tap this circle you have the Home button option(which functions all the ways of your jammed home button). As well as a few other options; Device, Favorites and Gestures. You can move that circle about the screen for your convenience. This is just a way to have a home button without paying to restore.

Yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4. Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through. It would get very hot as well. Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable. I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone. If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.

Is there a way to fix an iPod touch 4G home button that isn't stuck but just doesn't work?

A couple weeks ago my home button got stuck. To fix it I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfhCmq9VkA&list=WL429346A18D0B1E65 to help me out. The second option of using the charger ended up working, thus making the button work again. It was working fine after doing that but then it got stuck down again and I had to put the charger in and do that again. However, all of a sudden the home button just doesn't work anymore. It's not even stuck all the way down. I can press it repeatedly but still nothing.
I've had the iPod for about 6 months now and got it off of amazon refurbished so warranty is out of the question i'm sure. If it really is broken with no way to fix it then that's fine as i've been using assitive touch for weeks now and am used to it since i've been using it egulary since there's no other way. I just wanted to ask and make sure first before anything else though.

IPod Touch 4G Home Button is Jammed

Guys, where's the best place to bring an iPod Touch 4G for repair? It's no longer under warranty. I know I should bring to the authorized service center, but kinda hesitant to bring it to the apple service centers. word is, they don't repair stuff. they just replace the unit if it's under warranty. Is this true?
It seems to be a hardware problem. the home button is stuck. it's not just unresponsive, but it can't be pressed anymore. kinda like jammed. no clcking sound, can't be pressed, nor pop out,just lays flat. I tried the quick fixes on the net and apple forums like blowing in the ports to free up the dust, etc. nothing worked.
** still not using iOS 5, so Assistive Touch option is not available

My iPod Touch 5 home button has lost all sensitivity. What should I do?

I own a blue iPod Touch 5Gen running iOS 7.0.2. I am experiencing sensitivity problems with its home button. Really taking its toll on my thumb. Will Apple India replace the iPod or the home button for me? It is still under warranty but I have bought it in California. I would hate to make an unnecessary trip to an Apple store. Fast answers will be appreciated!

IPod Touch 4G Home button doesn't work

I bought my iPod Touch 4G in January of 2011, so I've had it for a little over a year now.
Recently, the home button has been finicky (I had to press it repeatedly for it to respond sometimes) and today it stopped working all together. I restored it, hoping that it was the iPod itself, but it still doesn't work. It's not stuck or anything, because I'm able to press it all the way down.
If I were to take it into the Apple store, would I have to pay to have it fixed (I never bought a warranty)? I've never dropped it or anything either.

Apple does not repair your iPod. They will exchange yours for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

My iPod Touch 2G home button is sometimes unresponsive?

I've had my iPod touch 2g for three years and it's been working pretty great. I get one to 2 days on one battery charge and everything is still running pretty smooth. Last night though my iPod's home button started to get weird. Sometimes I'll press it and it won't turn on, and then I have to press it a few more times or a bit harder for it to work. Other times the home button works no problem? What's wrong with it? I know it's old but it's works fine, and like I said it's not the battery because it still is strong. Is my iPod freaking out because it's getting old? I can't afford a new iPod right now (I'm 17 and dealing with school and stuff) what can I do? Is this just a temporary problem? Did I maybe accidently get something stuck in the home button? My iPod also has a screen protector and case so it's also been protected, and I always take off the case when I charge to avoid overheating. I haven't dropped it recently or anything eithier, I take good care of it. Please help!

My iPod touch's power button got stuck and then the screen went white.

My iPod touch 4G was a great device, until I stopped using it when iOS 7 came out back in 2013. Then eventually I got back to using it and then one day the power button started acting a little bit funny and then the entire button got stuck in the device. Eventually I tried to fix it so I opened up the screen and tried pushing the button back up. Then the worst happened, I touched something behind the screen and then the screen froze. Then the screen went white. I could do nothing as the power button was stuck in the device. Then it just sat there, white, until it died a few hours later. So heres my question,
What do I do?

See my reply in this discussion:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

Can somebody confirm this for me: The iPod Touch's home button is smaller

than the iPhone's home button.
I don't know if it's just my imagination or what. But I swear it is. I also notice it's much more "clicky" whereas the iPhone's is more "soft" when you push it.

I'm sure that the "clicky" or "soft" varies from unit to unit.
Why is this important to you?
We have bought an iPod Touch 3rd Gen and an iPhone 3GS.
The iPod has a much louder "clickier" button. Very annoying compared to the "soft" iPhone button.
Does anybody else has this issue with iPod Touch?
My iPod button clicks. I like it; that way I know I've clicked it. It's not annoyingly loud but it does click.
