The home button on my 4th generation iPod touch is stuck.
The home button on my 4th generation iPod touch is stuck. How can I fix it at home and get it unstuck? Or were can I take it to get it fixed where it is free or where I do not have to pay a lot of money. With my stuck home button I have to wait for an app to close out for me to open a new one or I have to turn off my iPod completley ad turn it back on to go to a new app.

My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck. Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad? Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

Can I remove the battery?
No the battery is non removable.
Try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
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... -
My screen is cracked and my home button is stuck down. Where can I get this fixed?
On my iPod touch 4th G my screen broke in the bottom right corner and there are spider cracks all the way up to the top of my iPod screen. Also, now my home button is stuck down; a shard of glass probably is preventing the button from popping back up. Where can I get this fixed?
Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending up the capacity.

???? How do I power up my iPad? My iPad won't power up. It just stays a black screen. Tried the start up button, the home button, pressing them down and holding.
Could be the battery is completely drained. Use the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Let it charge for at least an hour. Then, while it is still plugged in reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If the device restarts let it remain on the charger until the battery indicates 100%. If it still will not turn on Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. -

Double-pressing the home button doesn't bring up iPod controls
I recently got a new iPhone, and for the past year or so, I've been using my iPod Touch. I was very grateful that I could control my music from any app my merely double-tapping the home button.
Now, however, it gives me a myriad of options for what double-tapping the home button does, including going to the phone or camera, but none of these are iPod controls. There is a tab that allows me to access the iPod controls while I'm listening to music, but if I pause it for even five seconds, when I double-tap the home button, it takes me out of whatever I'm doing. This is incredibly infuriating if I'm in the middle of playing a game, or writing an email.
Is there any way to make the iPhone always go to music controls when I double-tap the home button, whether the music is playing or not?
I'm not sure if the option to change the settings is new to 3.0, or if that's how the iPhone has always worked, but either way, it's very annoying.
Can anyone help?oh I get what you're saying now.
unfortunately, you're not missing anything. that is how they have it set up in 3.0

My lock button is stuck inside my iPod touch.
Whats wrong with it and How much will it be to get it fixed?
I have an iPod touch, 4th generation.
I got my iPod about a year and a half ago, but I've only used it for a year. About a month ago, after dance I had grabbed my iPod and tryed to unlock it but it wouldn't unlock. Before I pressed it to unlock it, it was very loose. After I pressed it, it got stuck inside and its still a little loose but it wouldn't come out. So I pressed the home button to unlock it and I've been doing that ever since. I have to let my iPod automatically lock, because of the button not being able to work. I'm just tired of waiting and not being able to lock my iPod. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how much it will cost to get this problem fixed without the warranty (I never got to set it up)
Please if you know how much, let me know. Thank you.I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple stoe. Maybe they can free the button. If not, Apple will only exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

Home button does not wake up iPod Touch
Hey all,
After the iPod screen turns off automatically after the preset idle time, pressing the "Home" button does not wake the device up from the first press; on some occasions it has to be pressed twice before the "Slide to unlock" screen appears.
This is intermittent and I can't pin down how to accurately reproduce the issue, but it seems to happen randomly. I have never experienced an issue where the "Home" button didn't work when pressed during normal operation, so I don't think it is a hardware issue with the button itself. Note that I had this issue before updating the device to 3.1.2 as well.
I have auto-lock set to 3 minutes, with Passcode Lock on.
The device is the 32GB model MC008C, updated with the latest 3.1.2 (7D11) OS.
Cheerssorry to reply and intrude here but i cannot for the love of god find he new thread button. (maybe a mod will move me please)
I recently restored my iPod touch and i didn't really watch the restore. I know the loading bar on ipod was nearly at end. Anyways, 10-15mins later i go to use my ipod and clicking the home button nothing displays.
I then try to turn on, yet nothing. So googling, i left the battery to completely drain if there is any.
I plug my ipod into my computer and nopthing happens, it does not wake up(turn on) or even charge. I have tried an Iphone wall charger, yet no response from my ipod touch as well.
So i kept googling and i found out about some DFU mode, there was lots of different combinations on the web, i tried them all, yet my ipod does not respon. No noises, notifications or anything in itunes(if itunes closed, does not open up!)
It has now been a good few days since it stopped working, and i cannot think is there anymore to do. It is still in warranty for a few months.
Only problem is, i do not think i;m entitled to phone support, and the nearest genius for me is hours away.
PS: my iPod touch was restored to version 3.2 (latest version if thats wrong <!-- )
I have itunes 9.1
Running windows 7 rc
I have tried my ipod also on the following:
My dual boot vista, another computer with vista and a Mac Pro.
Can anyone suggest anything or help me please?
Thanks in advance,

How can I fix a home button that is stuck in the 'down' position?!?
I was looking for a solution outside of regular business hours, not some f**k with 2500 points to give me a stupid answer.
The nearest apple store is around 2 hours driving away.
Fortunately, the people on the tech support phone line are helpful.....and it's still covered. New phone on the way. -
I have and IPad 2. I realized (while travelling by air) that my power button was stuck in the down position. I cannot power off my IPad. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue and what you may have done to rectify? I think Apple may be aware of this problem. I stopped into an Apple store and they were not supprised, but I could not make an appt because I was traveling and did not live in the area. Thanks for any ideas.
Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!
