TS3274 home button won't respond

My home button doesn't respond when I press it.

Hello jamills706,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your Home button on your iPhone.  I know how important and necessary this button is.  I recommend the following steps (these steps are for the iPhone but are relevant for the iPad as well):
The Home button isn't working
Put the iPhone to sleep.
Wait a couple of seconds.
Press the Home button.
iPhone should wake up.
If iPhone does not wake up, then iPhone should be serviced.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

  • I attempted to update to the latest IOS version.  Then it seemed to "Lock UP".  Now all i get on display is a graphic of the power cord with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon.  Home button is not responding.

    I attempted to update to latest version of IOS.  Now all I get on the display is a graphic of the power cord with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon.  Ipad does not seem to power down or power up correctly.  Home button is not responding.

    I am new to this, could you provide me with a little more detail on how to do this?  Thanks so much!

  • Hey! I am from Egypt and purchased I phone5 unlocked from USA Atlantic City NJ. When I started to use it the Home button wouldn't respond. I tried everything pushing hard, turning it off and on again it's just hopeless. What can I do? Need help!

    I purchased Iphone 5 from USA while I am from Egypt. It's unlocked so no issues there, yet when I started first using it the home button wouldn't respond under any circumstances! I am afraid to give it to an Apple retailer in Egypt to fix it coz that might make me lose my warranty in the US.. Sending it back to the US and asking for a replacement might take time and according to the purchasing reciept it says return date Aug 15th! Need some help.. Thanks

    Thnx, I already did that when I got the chance. But when I took it over there yesterday they told me we can only fix it and not replace it coz I exceeded my warranty reclaim!! its just not practical to have it and send it back overseas within the warranty limit! I was so furious it's just so not fair..

  • My home button won't work

    My husband's I-pad has been playing up! His home button won't work, and this keeps happening.

    Try a reset ...
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Beyond that, restore the iPad > iTunes: Restoring iOS software

  • My home button won't work correctly after I plug the charger in

    My iPhone 5s's home button doesn't respond correctly after i plug in the charger. I'm not sure what's wrong.
    At first, it wouldn't charge so i had to find a different charger that i had ordered from amazon (not from apple) and it only worked when i plugged it in with one side. the other chargers that i have from apple do not work. the home button sometimes works correctly, but im sure that it starts to not respond correctly after i plug the charger in. i have tried almost everything i could find on the internet. im not sure if its a hardware or software problem. please help. thank you

    Sorry but I'm not clear. Do you have more than one charger from Amazon? Did this problem start after you used the charger(s) you got from Amazon and now using the Apple brand chargers it doesn't work either? I'm wondering if the Amazon charger damaged the phone.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen home button does not respond

    I have tried restarting my ipod several times but my problem still trmains.
    The home button does not respond. I can get to the screen with all my apps, but once I get into an app, I cannot exit it. What can I do?

    See:
    fix for Home button
    Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
    You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
    Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

  • Iphone 5 home button does not respond, brightness reduces by itself, wont charge and its one week since i got it!

    one week since i got the iphone 5: screen blacks out, when i finally get it to light up the light brightness turns low.
    problems charging phone, just doesnt want to charge unless i reset the phone.
    the main home button does not respond at times, approx 3-5 times a day this occurs
    phones touch screen does not respond at times...whole touch screen, no response!
    signal always drops out, this could be a network issue though i doubt it.
    speaking to quite a few peopl i know, they are havng the same issues with there 5 but not as often as myself.
    if i knew the 5 had so many issues i would not have chosen it, the 4s was fine!

    Then take it back!  If you've only had it for a week, you still have 51 weeks of warranty.  If you are in the USA, you are also within your 14 day unconditional return for full refund period.  If it has that many problems, just return it and get another one, or get your money back and buy something else.  There is no reason to live with a faulty device after just one week.

  • HT201412 My home button does not respond on my iPad 3.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    I just received a new iPad 3.  The home button does not respond.  Any ideas?

    return it to have it checked for malfunction. Might be a transport defect . ( Although I never heard of such a severe case on brandnew Apple Hardware )

  • Iphone 4 home button does not respond, resetting fails to resolve issue

    the home button does not respond. i tried putting phone to sleep and waking up with home button (which worked, but then the home button does not return the screen to home page), a hard reboot with the home and power buttons, and finally a reset to factory settings and then synching again to my computer. the problem persists. 

    Bring it in for replacement.

  • What can i do if my home button isn't responding right away

    My home button isn't responding right away , i was told it may be cause dirt gets in but im not sure

    Home and Power Buttons do fail. Visit an Apple Store for a solution.
    Meanwhile can use 'AssitiveTouch' under Settings > General > Accessibility

  • Home button is not responding on iPAd even after restoring it

    home button is not responding on iPAd even after restoring it?

    Fma26-
    One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
    If the Apple logo never appears, you may have a broken button.  If your iPad is less than a year old and still in warranty. Apple should repair or replace it.  If it is convenient, show it to an Apple Store Genius.  Otherwise, look for a nearby Authorized Apple Repair Center.
