The home button is not working, does anyone know how to fix it?

how can I make the home button work?

I do not know with a iP4. But with iPhone 3G and 3GS, the Home Button circuitry that is used for a typical press to return to Home Screen is different than used to Reset, Enter Recovery, or DFU. So a Reset could still help. Anyway along the lines of your thinking, it would still be better to Restart the iPhone, here you would just be using the Power button. The Restart could even get the Home button to respond again. So the best advice maybe for any iPhone problem would be as often stated on this Forum.....
Restart, Reset, Restore and then last resort before throwing iPhone in trash, DFU Restore.

    See if http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 helps.  Often this also means the Apple Mobile Service needs to be reinstalled.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings If yu can see the screen enough to do it)
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem.

    My wishlist is not working in the app store on my ipad it is woking fine in itunes store so i can add films and music but the icon "add to wish list" is not available on the app store so does anyone know how to fix this 

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

    If anyone can help.
    anyway...thanks!

    Cute site! I like it!
    Regarding your links at the top of the page. Things to try:
    1. In the Inspector Page tab, try adjusting the header height value to 0.
    2. Move your links/buttons down the page slightly.
    3. Instead of making the text hyperlinks, maybe overlay a 1% transparent rectangular shape over the whole button to make your button a "hotspot" hyperlink.
    I think the problem right now is that there is a reserved area at the top of the template pages where the navigation menu usually lives. For some reason links placed here sometimes to not work even if the navigation menu is turned off. Seems to be an iWeb bug.
    Give the above suggestions a try. Any one of them could help. Let me know what happens! Good luck.

  • I am having problems syncing my iTunes music to iTunes Match. ITunes shuts down after the 2nd step every time. Does anyone know how to fix?

    Every time iTunes Match starts up, it gets to Step 2, almost makes it to Step 3, and then crashes and shuts down iTunes. I've restarted the computer, and reinstalled iTunes for Windows. Anyone have any idea what I should do next? There are songs that I can't sync to my iPhone 5S because of this.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to AD!
    I have a regular post for the top 3 or 4 fixes for that 9808 error. Obviously you are going to skip #1, since you've already tried it. Let me know how you get on with the next 2.
    The top 3 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
    1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
    2) The culprit was Norton. The users are set up as Admin and Standard. I have Parental Controls turned on in both Vista as well as Norton. Admin users had no problems connecting to iTunes. Standard users would get the error. I had to go to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.) in order for the standard users to be able to connect.
    3) close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. For Mac users, there is only one file you must delete or move a to a new location and is located at User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.itunes.plist. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those two (or one) files with the default settings. Feel free to set your preferences back to what they were and then connect to the iTunes store and enjoy!
    And #4, see if you can get into the iTS from a different windows admin account on the same PC.

  • My contact app on iPad 2 doesn't launch, does anyone know how to fix it?

    Hey guys,
    I can't launch the contacs app niether can open the mail, contact, calender on settings.
    does anyone know how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Don't mention it,
    I have a few solutions for you,
    First, is to do a reset. Ou can do this by going to Settings > General > scroll all the way down and select Reset. From there you can select either to reset just the settings, or erase everything and reset the settings as well. I recommend you to erase everything and reset the settings if it doesn't bother you too much.
    Second, is to check to see if your restrictions aren't messed up.
    Third and last solution is to plug your iPad to the computer and restore the firmware.
    Hope it helps!

  • The home button is not working on my iphone 5 - is there a way to troubleshoot that issue?

    the home button is not working on my iphone 5, its does click and acts normal but doe not do what it is supposed to do

    You have identified the problem. If you have Warranty or AppleCare coverage, make Genius reservation and take or send to Apple for resolution. Troubleshoot. When iPhone 5 is open, the home button contacts are present right there. With volt meter placed on home flex you can see if pressing home button completes the circuit. You can bridge the dock home button contacts and see if it actually causes response in the iPhone. If not dock or its contacts are faulty or logic board is faulty.

  • My ipod has just black screen and the home button is not working. what will i do? help please!

    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.
