The Home Button on my iPod Touch 5 isn't working. How do I fix it?

Hi!  The Home Button on my iPod 5 isn't working.  I just got it like maybe two months ago.  I'm really mad about it to because it's brand new!  I'm not to the point where I'm going to totally rip my iPod apart and fix it.  And I know about the Assistive Touch or Acsessive Touch whatever it's called.  I'm using it right now but it's just not the same!  Please help!

I would take it to an apple retail store and have them look at it. It should definitely be under warranty

  • The Home Button on My iPod Touch Isn't Working

    A few weeks ago, my home button on my 4th Generation iPod Touch stopped working. I soon found that I had to press it at a certain part of the button for it to work (by part I mean the left right top and bottom corners). Then for a little while it was fine, but yesterday I had the same problem, and now it's not working at all, and closing all my apps didn't help. What can help my problem?
    (if it helps, I do have a habit of pressing the button three times whenever I open it or leave an app, so I may have worn it out somehow)

    - Try here:
    fix for Home button
    - Try using the Assistive Touch accessibilty feature instead. See chapter 30 of the Users Guide
    iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and hear what they have to say.

    My home button does not work at all anymore. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Has the iPad been dropped?
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • The home button on my ipod touch doesnt really work

    when you push it nothing happens you have to push it quite hard a couple of times before anything happens.

    Have it looked at at an Apple Store.

  • The home button on my iPod Touch is unresponsive

    The home button on my iPod Touch is not working.  Any app that I'm in, I can't get out of because when I press the home button, nothing happens.  Is there a way to fix this?

    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.  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."

  • The home button on my ipod touch 4th genereation is jammed and i cant press it. What should i do?

    The home button on my ipod touch 4th generation, that i have had for a year now, is jammed. When i go to click it to go to the home screen it doesnt push in. I am not sure how it happened because one moment i pressed it and it was fine and the next it somehow got jammed. I dont know whether i should just buy a new one or if i should send it in for repairs. The thing is that i dont want to send it in for repair and get it back to have the same thing keep happening to me. It has been starting to get slow and close out of apps randomly also. What should i do?

    The Front camera of my iPod Touch isn't working,I have done everything possible...restart it, up date it...etc. NOTHING WORKS, is there a program or something I can download??

    Your iPod is probably covered by the warranty.  Check here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    However, it does not cover misuse such as caused by dropping the iPod.
    - Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovery will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    Since you are running iOS 5 you can always turn on Assistive Touch as well, which adds a Home button to the iPod's actual touch screen.  Head to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Assistive Touch to turn it on.

  • The Home button on my iPod Touch is stuck in!

    Hi,
    Dropped my iPod this morning. The home button is stuck in. It was bought for me as a Christmas Present. Is it still covered with warranty? Hope it is, if it's not how much roughly? Or is it just a simple DIY 10 min job? Thanks in advance, Freely2

  • HT2188 How can I fix the home button on my iPod touch?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch that is about almost 2 years old. I've never dropped it on a hard surface like concrete or hardwood floors, just a few times on my carpet. It's never been scratched, never had water damage or anything like that. It's in pretty good condition, and runs pretty smoothly, except my home button doesn't work!
    I know several people with the same iPod who have similar problems - their home button doesn't work. When I'm in an app, like the Music app, and I hit the home button to get back to my home screen, it doesn't work.
    I've looked it up on the internet - I've seen several videos on YouTube (like turning the iPod off, entering an original app like Weather or Notes and then holding the lock button down until the "slide to power off" button came up, and then holding the home button down until it went away to 'calibrate' the home button, and locking my iPod and then clicking the lock screen and home button at the same time - which worked for me a few times, but after like a day or two, the button stopped working) and I've also Googled it and heard that rubbing alcohol on a q-tip would clean any gunk out from underneath the home button. I've never tried the alcohol one out of fear that I'd really ruin the button.
    I've also read that there might be dust under there or gunk that should be cleaned by a professional...
    But my dad says that it's too tight of an area around the button for anything to get lodged under there. I am currently updating the iPod to iO5 or whatever the new update is to see if it makes any difference.
    I'm just trying this forum as a last result to see if there is anyone out there with a similar problem that has fixed it themselves to quell the problem permanently. If not, then I suppose I'll be forced to take it to the Apple Store and see if they can fix it.
    I did have the 1 year warranty, but alas, I did not start having these problems until recently.
