The home button is not responding
I have an iphone 4. I have done a restore, I've used the restart method of holding the sleep button and home button and have been able to get it to work again. Now the home button isn't responding at all for a restart. My phone is just over a month past it's warranty. Any ideas?
Reset Home Button Steps:
(1) Tap Settings App, when open:
(2) Hold Power button until "slide to power off" bar appears.
(3) Don't slide it, release power button.
(4) Gently, continuously press Home button for few seconds until home screen appears.
(5) Done.
If this does not help, further points to Hardware Problem.

The home button does not respond. Help
My iPhone 4's home button does not always respond. Sometimes I will have to turn it off and on. I have tried doing a restart. It will be ok for a few hours but then will not respond again.
Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing was lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

The Home button is not responding with my ipad2.
My recently bought ipad2 is having problem with the Home button as it is unresponsive. I had removed all new applications downloaded from apple stores and restored it to the orginal setting. Still the same, even if i press the Home button & Sleep button together nothing happens. Case has been booked with Express Lane and their technical expert is of the opinoin that it seems to be a hardware problem and asked me to bring to US , unfortunately i'm based in Dubai. I had purchased it from here, can any one help?

my iphone 4 home button is not working anymore. I have to turn the phone off and on again to access an app. When turning it on it immediately goes to voice control. I cannot get out of this. I have checked and updated the software and finally reset the phone. All this has left me with the same problem. Any ideas???
Voice Over Fix
Settings > General > Accessibility > Voice Over > Off
Or,
Press the Home Button 3 Times
Now...
Reset your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup... Restore as New...

Ipod touch 2nd gen home button does not respond
I have tried restarting my ipod several times but my problem still trmains.
The home button does not respond. I can get to the screen with all my apps, but once I get into an app, I cannot exit it. What can I do?See:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data. -
I just received a new iPad 3. The home button does not respond. Any ideas?
return it to have it checked for malfunction. Might be a transport defect . ( Although I never heard of such a severe case on brandnew Apple Hardware )

Iphone 4 home button does not respond, resetting fails to resolve issue
the home button does not respond. i tried putting phone to sleep and waking up with home button (which worked, but then the home button does not return the screen to home page), a hard reboot with the home and power buttons, and finally a reset to factory settings and then synching again to my computer. the problem persists.
Bring it in for replacement.

I attempted to update to latest version of IOS. Now all I get on the display is a graphic of the power cord with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. Ipad does not seem to power down or power up correctly. Home button is not responding.
I am new to this, could you provide me with a little more detail on how to do this? Thanks so much!

HT201401 My home button does not respond and the phone will not shut off
Has anyone had a similar problem where the phone will not shut off and the home button does not respond
You should try taking it to the Apple Store and asking for a replacement.
Or you could enable Assistive Touch from Settings>General>Accessibility. -
I purchased Iphone 5 from USA while I am from Egypt. It's unlocked so no issues there, yet when I started first using it the home button wouldn't respond under any circumstances! I am afraid to give it to an Apple retailer in Egypt to fix it coz that might make me lose my warranty in the US.. Sending it back to the US and asking for a replacement might take time and according to the purchasing reciept it says return date Aug 15th! Need some help.. Thanks
Thnx, I already did that when I got the chance. But when I took it over there yesterday they told me we can only fix it and not replace it coz I exceeded my warranty reclaim!! its just not practical to have it and send it back overseas within the warranty limit! I was so furious it's just so not fair..

my ipod has just black screen and the home button is not working. what will i do? help please!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPodin recovery mode use this prgram.
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- 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 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.

one week since i got the iphone 5: screen blacks out, when i finally get it to light up the light brightness turns low.
problems charging phone, just doesnt want to charge unless i reset the phone.
the main home button does not respond at times, approx 3-5 times a day this occurs
phones touch screen does not respond at times...whole touch screen, no response!
signal always drops out, this could be a network issue though i doubt it.
speaking to quite a few peopl i know, they are havng the same issues with there 5 but not as often as myself.
if i knew the 5 had so many issues i would not have chosen it, the 4s was fine!Then take it back! If you've only had it for a week, you still have 51 weeks of warranty. If you are in the USA, you are also within your 14 day unconditional return for full refund period. If it has that many problems, just return it and get another one, or get your money back and buy something else. There is no reason to live with a faulty device after just one week.

Home button is not responding on iPAd even after restoring it
home button is not responding on iPAd even after restoring it?

One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
If the Apple logo never appears, you may have a broken button. If your iPad is less than a year old and still in warranty. Apple should repair or replace it. If it is convenient, show it to an Apple Store Genius. Otherwise, look for a nearby Authorized Apple Repair Center.
