Stuck at "Edit Home Screen"

Just bought a new 3G iphone, once I got done setting it up in itunes it came up with a screen that says "Edit Home Screen" and I can't get it to go away. Any ideas?

Did you ever figure out how to solve this problem? I am now having the same problem. My iPhone is completely unusable as whenever I start up it goes to this screen, with a "dismiss" button that doesn't do anything. I have tried all of the troubleshooting tips, but nothing works.

Edit Home Screen ..... Dismiss button is stuck on my screen

I just upgraded my 3G phone to 2.1.
Since I have upgraded, I have not been able to use my phone at all. I have a window displayed on my phone.
Edit Home Screen
To rearrange icons, touch and hold any icon until it starts to wiggle, then drag icons to desired locations. Drag an incon to the far right to create additional Home screens. Press the Home button when done.
Dismiss
I can not press the Dismiss button to close the window. Nothing happens when I press the Dismiss button. It doesn't look like it recognizes that I am touching the screen at all. I can't do anything with the phone until I get rid of this missage

Try a reset - press and hold the sleep/wake and home buttons for ~10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt).

My ipod wont connect/charge and is stuck on the home screen while trying to update it

i tried to update it not realizing i needed to connect to itunes so it was on the screen to connect to itunes all day during school til i got home and it wouldn't update so i restored it 5 times and then it wont charge/ connect or restore at all

If there is no passcode on the device, then try making a backup to iTunes. Once you have the backup (or if it's passcode locked and you can't make a backup), then use iTunes to restore the device to factory settings. You may have to use Recovery Mode to do so if there's a passcode on the device (alternatively if you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use icloud.com to remote wipe the device).
Once it's erased, see if you can set it up as new, and test the touch display. If the touch display is still non-responsive after it's been set up as new, then your device has a hardware failure and needs to be serviced or replaced. If you are still within warranty with Apple, it should be a free replacement. If not, then expect to pay $199 USD + tax for a replacement.

Macbook pro is stuck on my home screen and will not respond to commands

Hi,
I just upgraded to Lion this week and came home and opened my Macbook pro. It immediately came on, but took a minute or so for the cursor for the mouse to appear. At the top of the screen "Finder" is highlighted. Problem is, no matter what program I click on, the computer will not acknowledge anything. Help!

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

Iphone 6 stuck on home screen. can't get to swipe bar to swipe

New iphone 6 is stuck on the home screen. Unable to get to the swipe bar to swipe it. I have restarted it and it always come back to en extra large home screen picture. Phone rings, but unable to answer phone.

Hello hammergator,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is unresponsive but you are able to restart it, then I'd like you to try resetting it next.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Take care,

A number is stuck on my password home screen

I recently downloaded the new IOS 7.0x but I had it for a good solid day.........all of a sudden I'm trying to enter in my password on my home screen to access my phone and there is a number that is STUCK on my home screen. It's highlighted and I can't enter my password because that darn number is stuck!
I've shut down and turned on several times but it's still stuck! This is driving me nuts!
Thoughts???

Did you also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
