My power button is pushed in so I have to wait till it goes to sleep and I can't turn it on with out pressing on the home button. I might need it fixed but I really don't want to have too much on my parents but I was wondering if I could do anything else?

My power button doesn't work and I don't know what I can do without havin my parents spend a lot of money for the power button but I want to. No if their is any other way for me to fix it without damaging it and doing it carefully and I have an iPod touch 4th generation but I really want it to work again without having my iPod wait to go to sleep and its the white one and my brother says the white one isn't that good so ya... But I just want to know if theirs any other solution to this problem cause I'm getting really annoyed by it. Please help me! Thank you! :)

  • I need a rescue email but I really don't want to have to call Apple. Is there any other way of creating a rescue email? Or another way of contacting Apple, like an online chat?

    So I didn't set up a rescue email for my Apple account because I forgot all my security questions and I can't create a new one, the only option is says is to call Apple but I don't talk a lot on the phone and I hate general phone conversations. Is there another quick way I can contact Apple about making a rescue email? Or a way that I can make a rescue email? I have £40 balance on my account and I can't buy anything without resetting these questions by making a rescue email.

    You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset - contact is normally by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    You can try contacting Support via this form, but they are likely to require phone contact : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then use steps 1 to 7 half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • Is there a way to answer the 5c without swiping? It really is a pain and hard to do at times one handed. Maybe allow favorites to be answered with a click of the home button or possibly all calls with a home button push

First smart phone I have owned and the old flip phone was much easier to answer.....just press one button.

  • HT4061 My screen will not turn on at all. But i can still hear sounds from when i would hit the home button. How could i get my iPhone to turn on?

    The screen to my phone will not turn on at all. I could hear the sound it makes when I do press on the home button. But the screen is not and will not respond and turn on. I plugged it in the charger to see if it'll do anything, but that didnt do anything. So I plugged it in the charger to my computer and even that didnt help with the situation. So how can I get my screen to turn on?

    See Here for  >  Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
    Try this First...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    Would you rather upgrade to windows 8, BlackBerry or Android phones? Do you honestly think those don't have problems?
    You waited a lot and chose to buy an early production model. Mistakes happen all the time a factory retools and workers relearn new skills necessary to keep US happy.
    Exercise your rights.... Send it back for a new one. 
    In any case, I feel your frustration. Btw, I love Apple but use a Blackberry

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

    Take it back to the Apple Store for repair since it's still in warranty.

  • How else can I activate Siri, without having to hold-down the Home button for 1 full second?  You see, I can't hold down the Home button for any length of time at all, not even one second. It's because I'm handicapped with a muscle weakness disease.

    The only way I can use the home button is by giving it a firm tap, which my thumb just kind of bounces off the home button. I just don't have enough muscle strength to hold the button, I can only tap it. So I need a different way to turn on Siri, that doesn't require me to hold down any buttons. Cause if I can't even activate Siri, what's the point in me even keeping my iPhone 4S. Please Help.

    I did a quick search, knowing that "Assistive Touch" can help with some features, but the only result I fouond from somebody who's tried it is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3461618?start=0&tstart=0
    basically you use a lightweight touch on the screen to access the Home button. Holding it down to access Siri might work but might not, according to the post.
    Good luck!

  • My new iPhone 6 plus just went to a black screen and will not turn back on. If you hit the home button for siri to come on it still works, and if you plug it into the wall it makes the vibrate noise. The screen just won't turn on.

    I was looking up a song on the internet, and my internet was being slow, so i was going to the settings to turn internet/wifi off so i could use data. When i did that the screen just went completely black. I didnt know what happened so i plugged it into a circuit into the wall to see if it needed charging. It made the buzz noise when i plugged it into the charger, and siri still works if you hold the home button down. I don't know what to do to get it to turn back on... If anyone knows what to do please help. thanks !

    Hey there Maggie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 6 Plus.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Cheers,
    -Jason

  • When pressing on the home button the applications do not always close.

    Sometimes...not every time, when I try to close an application the home button does not work. I need to press it several times and other times it responds immediately. Any ideas what is wrong?

    This is not how you close an app. this is the method that you employ to return to the home screen.
    Try this for a home button that is misbehaving. Close all apps and restart.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    That is how you close apps.
    If the home button still misbehaves, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • How can I make Firefox remember my preferred location for the "home" button?

    Since the 5.0 update, I can go into 'options,' click 'toolbar layouts,' and then drag the "home" button icon to my preferred location (back on the left beside the URL line). However, when I close the browser window open a new one, the "home" icon is back in its original and undesirable location. I have tried editing the prefs.js / user.js folders within my profile directory, but I cannot seem to find anything that relates (to my knowledge) to this issue. I am using a theme add-on which is fully compatible with 5.0. I am able to save other preferences such as the location of my tabs (on bottom), so I'm not having an issue with every setting. It's a drag to have to move the mouse way over to the right to go home... other than this, all appears well. Please help! Thank you for your time.

    Some sites (like and others) like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use ''autocomplete="off"'' to prevent Firefox from saving the name and the password.
    If a site uses ''autocomplete="off"'' then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute.
