Really innocuous question about the home button.

Was just wondering if the home button having a tiny amout of "play," sort of side to side, is normal.
Thanks for humoring me.

Yes it does. When you press the Home button, it usually produces a slight clicking sound.

Really simple Mac Mail question about the Delete button

When at a message, the Edit menu shows Command+Delete as being the proper keystroke for deleting a message.
Just pressing Delete also removes it from the Inbox.
What is different between that and Command+Delete?
Thanks,
doug

Hi,
I don't have a very good answer to you other than the fact that the Macbook does not have a proper DELETE-button. You delete by pressing cmd/backspace.
If you want to delete something through Finder you have to press cmd/backspace. In orher programs, like Mail, you can delete by pressing only backspace. In iPhoto you can delete pictures by presing backspace and conform with return.
The reason for these different solutins are not known to me...

I have a resize problem and a question about the reset button.

What I am trying to do is clear the list, I can clear the name but I want the list to have no selections instead of going back to default. Also I wanted to know if there is anyway to resize the list windows because one of my list windows is off on my maac computer but not on a regular pc.

The home button on my iPad has became faulty, it works sometimes although you have to press it really hard. Can Apple fix this for me?

The home button on my iPad has became faulty, it works sometimes although you have to press it really hard. Can Apple fix this for me?

They might be able to. If it's an iPad 2 then it is still within the warranty period, so as long as it's due to accidental damage it might be fixed/replaced free of charge. Have you tried contacting Apple ? I don't know what country you are in, and whether you are near an Apple store, but you could try looking on this page for your service options.
Before you do that you could try a reset and see if it that helps : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons (assuming that it works) for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

4 questions about the the top boxes - SD box and Home media DVR

Hello. I am going to be getting Fios soon and I have some questions about the boxes. I will be getting the Home Media DVR and 4 SD boxes.
1) Do these boxes have timers on them to set so the box can turn off at a certain time?
2) Do these boxes have parental control and if so is it good enough to block things that I do not want my child to see?
3) How many people can access the home media dvr at the same time to watch already recorded programs
4) If the Home Media DVR is in the family room can a record be started from the bedroom over the SD set top box (even an hd show)?
Thanks for any help.

I have been using two Standard Set Top Boxes for about a year. I have Parental Controls on and all channels locked. When I want to watch a channel, I tune to that channel, note the LOCKED message, which tells me to press the OK button to enter ther Parental Controls PIN and unlock the channel for viewing.
This has worked flawlessliy for the last year -- ON THE Standard STB's.
I just ordered the Home Media DVR STB to replace one of my Standardt STB..
On the Home Media DVR:
I can set the Parentals Control PIN and lock the channels, in the exact same way I did o nthe Standard STB's. However, when tuen to ANY channel, I still ge the LOCKED message and instructions to press OK to unlock the channel -- BUT no matter how I press the OK button, the Enter your Parental Conlrols PIN dialog box willl NOT open. Nothing happens -- you CAN NOT view any channel.
Again, it is the EXACT setup as for the Standard STB, but the OK button will NOT unlock any of the channels.
If you unlock all channels and LOCK the Ratings, the same problem recurs: OK buitton will never open the "enter your PIN" dialog box.
I have received two replacement boxes and have spent hours on the phone with some very capable and helpful Techs -- no luck.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Here's how to test your Home Media DVR:
1. Menu-Settings-Parental Controls.
2. You will be prompted to CREATE youre Parental Controls PIN
3. Enter you PIN twice.
4. Use the > button to scroll to Enable On/Off and set it on.
5. scroll down to Control Channels
6. Press > button to See Locked Channels
7. Scroll down to Add/Remove Channels
8. Scroll right to choose LOCK ALL
9. Press OK and then scroll to YES to lock all channels
10. Press EXIT to get out of settings.
11. All channels are now locked.
12. Go to any channel
13. A black screen will appear with a lock silhouette with the word LOCKED below, followed by instructions to Press OK to enter PIN and unlock this channel. (plus how to change locks...).
14.Press the OK button and, if it is working, you will see a dialog box at the bottom of the screen that is titled: UNLOCK, with the channel listed and the instructions to "Enter your PIN using your numeric pad on remote to naje this channel availabe for all users." THere's a PIN box, which shows asterisks for each number entered, with "Press Exit to Cancel" below.
15. On the Standard STB, it works exactly as described in steps 1 thru 14. On the Media Center DVR, it works up to step `13, but in 14, no matter how you press the OK button, the UNLOCK dialog box never pops us. The Remote STB light flashes on the remove and the REMOTE yellow light flashes on the DVR, but nothng happens.
If you have a Home Media DVR, can you please try this and see if it works?
Thanks,
John

My iphone was stolen and we actually recovered it! Is there a way I can tell what the thief might have looked at in the interim? I know about hitting the home button twice to see recently used apps, but what if they then swiped to close them? TIA

There is no way to tell what activity went on on your device when it was out of your hands.

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

I have an ipod touch 5th generation and it won't cut on. I've had it about a year and the home button doesn't work, How do I fix it?

How do I fix my ipod?

It is an ipod touch 5th generation. I've had it about a year and the home button doesn't work. Right now it doesn't want to turn on.

TS1702 When we double tap the home button, only about half of the icons appear at the bottom. How do we get them all to appear?

WHen we double tap the home button, only about half of the apps appear. How do we get them all o appear?

If an app freezes on you - you can try force quitting the app.
Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. 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.

Hi my friend gave me his old Iphone 1 today and its stuck in the apple boot logo. Sometimes it automatically shuts off but about a second later it comes back on. The home button and the power button seem to not be responsive. Im hoping to restore it.. Thx

You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.

Mine is not a question but I received the solution to the iphone 4s not discovering bluetooth, you hold the top button and the home button until the apple logo comes up and then let it reboot, put your bluetooth in pairing mode, and then turn on bluetooth

My new iphone 4s would not discover bluetooth. I called apple, and the guy was great!!! He told me to hold the top button and the home button together and do not let go until the apple logo came up, this would do a hard reset. Then when it reboots, you turn on your bluetooth in paring mode, and then turn on the bluetooth on your iphone 4s and it will find your bluetooth device. Simple, yet it works!!! Hope this helps those of you having the same problem I was having trying to connect your bluetooth.

Does using the home button in 4s would result to being damage in the long run? I really don't like the assistive.

I do prefer using the home button. Will it somehow be 'damaged' in the long run? I just need assurance. *TIA.

Any mechanical component is subject to failure. If it does fail, if your device is in hardware warranty, it would likely be replaced. If you are still within the first year, purchase AppleCare to extend the warranty for an additional year.

Ok so when I try pressing the home button on the iPod it doesn't work.. and I have to press really hard on the home button to make the iPod go back to the homescreen. Is this a defect in the iPod because I have never dropped my iPod on the floor or anythi

Wat should I do?
Send it to apple?

Try each of the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPOd from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPOd.
If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store would be in order. If the iPod is within warranty you can call AppleCare.
