The home key on my iphone

The home key on my iphone  has stopped working. Is there a way to fix this?

A short term solution for you would be to turn on assistive touch in seetings/general/accessibility.  That will give you a little button on the screen that gives you most of the functions of the home button and more

  • My iPhone 4S has crashed 7 times. I hold down the home key and on button to reboot. I tried a restore but has crashed once since. Do I have a faulty phone ?

    My new iPhone 4S has crashed 7 times ie the screen does not come back on when I press the home key. I hold down the home key and on button to reboot and it always comes back. I tried a restore but it has crashed once since. Is this right  ? Do I have a faulty phone ? Any suggestions ?

    Does the screen come back on if you press the sleep/power button?
    Have you tried powering down (hold sleep/power button and swipe red slider) then power back up?  Power cycling sometimes will clear problems.
    If neither works, and you can get to an Apple store, have the genius bar folks try it out...they are very good about replacement if faulty.

    Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Of if easier for you, take receipt and iPhone, box and everything and return to where you bought it.

  • My iPhone 5 screen is completely black.  I can hear it working (you can hear Siri if you push the home key) but I can't see anything.

    My iPhone 5 screen is completely black.  I can hear it working (you can hear Siri if you push the home key) but I can't see anything.  I've tried a hard reset but that hasn't worked.  Any other ideas?  I have a call in to get a replacement but it won't come in until next week so until then I don't have a working phone!

    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts. This usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • How can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear

    how can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear?

    Hi-
    This worked!. After updating to 7.0.6 a few days ago I was unable to delete apps. Called Apple support for help without success. I have NEVER entered a passcode to get in to restrictions so I know I didn't make this change (so I'm assuming that 7.0.6 did it for me). Apple wanted me to restore my iphone but thought I'd do more research first. Your advice solved the problem. THANKS!

  • In accessibility option can the home key be assigned to end a telephone call?

    In accessibiility mode can I assign the home key to end a telephone call on an iphone 3gs?

    Quicksilver, free, reviewed at [http://www.macworld.com/reviews/product/526533/review/quicksilver.html] However the doing a web search for this reveals somewhat uncertain sources. There's a 10.6 version at http://www.blacktree.com/ The site looks pretty broken but the download still works.
    Second edit:
    Seeing that Quicksilver's site appears to be unsupported you might be better with the Spark recommendation. One Spark user even said they had given up on QS for Spark.

  • How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success.  Can you help?  Thanks.

    How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  The app is still grayed out and waiting so it cannot be deleted.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop and tried downloading new appswith no success.  Can you help?  Thanks

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • 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. 

  • How can I prevent a new tab being created every time I hit the Home Key in Firefox 4?

    I recently installed Firefox 4. I have it set to open two tabs, Google and Yahoo, for my homepage. When I open a new site in either of them the tab assumes the name of the new site. At the end of my search I hit the Home Key to return to my two original tabs. My two original tabs appear, but so does an additional tab...a duplicate of one of the original two. Each time I hit the Home Key another tab is created. This is annoying and I would like to know how to prevent it from happening. Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Hiya, I've got a weird problem with my iPhone4. On the 'home page' of my iPhone the mail symbol tells me there's a new mail waiting for me. However, there's no new mail to be found. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

  • Where is The "Home" Key in Logc

    I am new and fairly inorant, but very enthusiastic about logic, so please forgive this simpple question. Can some please tell me where is the "Home" key in logic? I would like to go back to 1 1 1 1 at any given time by utilizing this key. I am aware that double cliking on the play button in the trasport window will go back to the last positon that I desinted, but that does not help when I need to go to the ver begining. Thanks in advance for your help.
    Rockfort

    Try 0 on your extended keyboard.
    I forget now if I saved that as a key command or if Logic ships that way.
    But I am pretty sure Logic ships with 0 as return to song start. If your song starts at 1 1 1 1 then it will return to 1 1 1 1.
    Cheers
