The home button on my iPad 2 seems to not operate correctly. Any ideas !

Try this:
Calibrate Home Button
1. Open a stock application like Calendar, Weather or Youtube
2. Hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" control appears
3. As soon as you see it, press the Home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is forced quit to the Home menu

  • Upgrading to ios 7 my ipad is stuck joining a network, I can't do anything with it, if I press the home button it says ipad not set up.

    If I press the home button it says ipad not set up then gives me the option to continue I press that and am back to a screen which says joining other network, can't press anything on that. It's been like it for about half an hour now. help.

    Hello Netski1961,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I have 2 recommendations here. First from article iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430:
    Restarting your iOS device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If you are unable to continue, try resetting the phone with this from the same article:
    Resetting your device
    If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • 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.

    The home button on my iPad is no longer working.  To get to a new screen or App I have to turn the iPad off and then restart it.

    Try calibrating the home button and see if that works. If it doesn't, you could also try restoring with iTunes. Try this first.
    Calibrate the home button
    1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
    2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
    3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the home button. Hold until the red slider disappears.

  • The home button on my iphone 5 is not working.

    The home button on my iphone 5 is not working, so I'm using assistive touch.  How do I close open apps without double tapping the home button?

    The other possible things you can try would include...
    Inserting the lightning connector and applying a little bit of pressure up under the Home button.
    Some folks have cleaned the Home button with a few drops of isopropic alochol caring to not get it on your screen.  This is only going to get things working again if it has been gummed up through normal use
    If you are still within the one-year warranty or extended it with Apple Care don't try any of these steps just take it to Apple. 

  • The home button on my iPad 2 isn't working, what should I do?

    I recently got an iPad 2 for Christmas a couple of months ago, I've had 10 iPhones from iPhone 1 through to 4s and I know how much pressure to apply to the home button and not to press it too hard. And on my iPad it doesn't seem to be consistent it works around 20% of the time but I have to use the pinching 4 fingers thing the other 80% of the time and to be honest this isn't what I expect. What should I do?

    Francescaalucy,
        It sounds like there is a problem with the iPad 2 that turning it on and off wouldn't fix, as you have said. So you may want to schedule and appointment with the Genius Bar and see what they say because that sounds like a manufacturing issue.

  • Double-clicking the home button causes my iPad 2 to crash

    I am runing iOS 5.1  When I double-click the home button the interface crashes, and it takes me back to the "slide to unlock" screen, with the end result being that I cannot close any open applications.  Has anyone else seen this issue?  I have rebooted my iPad, and this does not make the issue go away.
    iPad 2, 32GB, WiFi only running iOS 5.1.
    Cheers,
    Cole.
    EDIT: So, for testing purposes, I turned on the multi-touch gestures and tried swiping up to bring up the task list.  As soon as I swipe up, it crashes as well, so the problem is not with the home button, but with the task list.
    Cole.

    Don't double-click it! 
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • The home button of my IPAD did not work well.

    From awhile the home button doesn't work properly.  I have already upgraded the system to 4.3.3, and It doesnt get fixed.  Suddenly you have to press 10 times to make it works.  Some times it work fine but some times it doesn't.  Can someone help me?

    Sounds like it might be a hardware problem.  I'd take it back to Apple store, or place of purchase to check.

  • HT1349 The home button on my iPhone 4 is not working.  Does anybody know how I can restore it?

    The home button in my iPhone does not work.  Does anybody know how to restore it?

    If the basics from the User Guide have all been tried (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) and you still have problems, then you've done all the troubleshooting you can do.  You'll need to bring your phone into Apple or an authorized service provider in your area.

  • I talked to a advisor and she said to back up and restore my ipod because the home button on my ipod touch is not responding so i did and it still does the same thing i would have to press it repeatedly just to close an app

    My ipod home button just doesnt respond properly anymore and my head phone jack is still messed up even when i restored everything and went to factory settings so im guessing its a hardware issue and i wanted to know how to send it back for repairs please thank thank you =^.^=

    Don't listen to any of them...
    Just recalibrate it! I have a similar issue where I kept pressing my home button and nothing worked.
    Here are some websites the tell you how to fix it!

    And if both suggestions don't work, go to settings, General, Acessability, and turn on assistive touch so that a little circle appears in the corner, tap it and tap home to work as your home button!

  • My home screen icons get misaligned when i switch apps by double tapping the home button. Using iPad Air, My home screen icons get misaligned when i switch apps by double tapping the home button. Using iPad Air

    My home screen icon get misligned when I switch between apps. also subway surfer behave strangley as in there is a graphical glitch

    I have no idea what Subway Surfer should look like so I wouldn't know if there was a graphical glitch in your screenshot or not, but I assume that the brown figure on the left side should, have real definition in the features and details in the clothing rather than just look like a smeary brown blob. That's just a guess on my part.
    I understand that you paid good money for the device and that it should not be doing what you are experiencing. I would start with the basic troubleshooting steps - moving all the way up to a complete restore of the iOS - and if they don't work, then you will have to contact Apple if you want resolution to the problem. They must have an authorized repair facility that you could send the device to if needed.
    Restart, reset, restore.

  • The home button on my iphone 3G is not working.

    . It used to be that i only had to press a little harder than usual but now it completely stopped working. I never dropped it or got it wet. What do i do? Thos is driving me insane.

    Hi, I had the same thing with my iphone 4 not so long ago. It had a problem and i sent it to the apple store (it had lesss than a year so i didn't pay). If you send it and you have apple care then they would send you a new one for free.
