My iPod (5th Gen) won't turn on and my home button isn't working?

Hello! For the past two weeks my home button hasn't been working and since I'm too lazy to go to an apple store I just started using assistive touch instead. But ever since yesterday my iPod won't turn on which I know is a normal problem with as easy fix, to restart the device, but that requires a working home button, which is something I don't have. I've tried using rubbing alcohol to fix the home button but it won't work, if anyone has any other solutions I will be forever grateful!

IPod Touch 5th Generation won't turn on and the home button is broken, followed the steps from another thread but it's still not working

I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation with iOS 8.1, my home button is broken and I've been using AssistiveTouch for months now. Today I just locked my iPod and it wouldn't unlock again, it doesn't respond at all, it won't turn on. It was almost fully charged, so it's not the battery. I followed the steps from this thread, but I'm still getting the "USBMuxListenerCreate: No Error" message in CMD Prompt. I bought my iPod abroad and even though I do have the warranty, I've been told at the iStore that it's not valid here, so going to the store isn't really an option. Any ideas how to solve this?

Sorry, but without a working home button it is not possible to reset or restore your device. You should visit an Authorized Appel Service Provider or Apple Store to get it serviced. The warranty for an iPod is not limited to the country where it has been bought, check here: one-year limited warranty
Jailbraking the device will void the warranty.
You can check the warranty status by inserting the serial number on this page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
A list of Authorized Apple Service Providers can be found here: iPod touch - Contact Us - Apple Support

IPod touch 4g won't turn on and my home button is broken

My iPod touch that I just got last March won't turn on after putting it to "sleep" while I was in class today. My Home Button does not respond that well so I used SBSettings as an alternative. I've encountered this situation before but my Home Button was 100% working back then. I resolved it by holding the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time. Now that my Home Button is broken, I can't fix it anymore. Does anyone know any alternatives on how to fix this?

My Ipod 5th generation won't turn on and the home button is broken. what do i do?

My iPod was working fine all day and then I locked it and when I came back to it, it would not turn on and it had almost a full battery. I have tried to plug it into it's charger but it still wouldn't turn on so I plugged it into the computer and that didn't seem to work either. I would try the method of holding down the home button and lock button down at the same time but my home button is broken (which I also do not know why it has broken). PLEASE HELP

IPod won't turn on, and connecting to iTunes doesn't help.

So yeah, basically my today when I picked up my Ipod, it wouldn't start, I thought that maybe it was just run out of power and plugged it into itunes.
At first itunes didn't even recognize that the iPod was plugged in, and when it did, it told that I would have to restore the iPod from backup, I pressed ok, and proceeded to press the restore button. Now, this is the weird part, because when I pressed the restore button, iTunes told me that I couldn't restore my iPod, and that I had to update iTunes, problem is, my iTunes is up to date .
Also I'm not able to start the Ipod in DFU mode, and it was NOT JAILBROKEN

The first message i get, when i connect the iPod is "iTunes har oppdaget en Iphone i gjennopprettingsmodus. Du må gjenopprette denne iPod-enheten før den kan brukes sammen med iTunes" This roughly translates to "iTunes has detected an iPhone in restorationmode (?). You have to restore this iPod-unit before it can be used with iTunes"
Then when i prees ok (it's the only option), and press the restore button i get this error message "Programmvare for denne iPhone-modellen er ikke tilgjengelig nå. Forsikre deg om at du har den nyeste versjon av iTunes, og prøv igjen." This translates to "The hardware for this iPhone-model is not available right now. Make sure you have the newest version of iTunes and try again."
I'm running iTunes 10.5.3 on a windows 7, 64bit

Im not sure what to do if my ipod won turn on after it shut off randomly and my home button doesnt work.help?

You can use the Power button to wake the iPod so yu cn then unlock the iPod.
Next try connecting the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes.
You can also use theis program to place the iPod in recovery mode without using switches.

If yuo have iOS 5 you can, when the iPod is working, use Assistive Touch accessibility feature to do most functions without the Home button. (Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch).
