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

  • What can we do if the home button of my ipod is working very slow and if my ipod is still in warranty and by the way i have an ipod touch 4

    what can we do if the home button of my ipod is working very slow and if my ipod is still in warranty and by the way i have an ipod touch 4

    If it is still under warranty take it to an Apple Store, or in any case call AppleCare (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 for list of international phone numbers) to see if they can help you. They may be able to help you with repairs if it is a physical problem with the home button.

  • What can you do if your home button, lock button and assistive touch button no longer work?

    My lock button stopped working so i activated the assisted touch, then all of a sudden my assisted touch stopped working and so did my home button. The screenshot and gestures works on the assisted touch but if i press for it to lock or go back to home it does not work. Also if i hold my home button i can get the voice control up, but it just doesn't go back to my home screen. Is there a way to fix this?

    Even if they don't seem to work, this will probably work:
    hold the HomeButton and the PowerButton pressed at the same time, keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding, when you see the white Apple logo let go and wait until the iPhone has started completely.

  • The home button is not responding

    I have an iphone 4. I have done a restore, I've used the restart method of holding the sleep button and home button and have been able to get it to work again. Now the home button isn't responding at all for a restart. My phone is just over a month past it's warranty. Any ideas?

    Reset Home Button Steps:
    (1) Tap Settings App, when open:
    (2) Hold Power button until "slide to power off" bar appears.
    (3) Don't slide it, release power button.
    (4) Gently, continuously press Home button for few seconds until home screen appears.
    (5) Done.
    If this does not help, further points to Hardware Problem.

  • 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..

  • What should I do if the home button won't work?

    What should I do if the home button won't work?

    You can try this.
    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.
    As a a workaround, you can use Multitasking Gestures if you can't get the home button to work.

    However, you might want to try restoring the iPad to see if that returns the functionality of the home button and/or take it to an Apple Store and let a Genius have a look at it.

  • Can I get Iphone 4 Home Button fixed?

    I dropped it in the toilet today...
    everything works except the home button. some short circuit?
    can i get only the home button fixed without getting a replacement. and about how  much will it be?

    Apple does not fix devices.  They do warranty and out of warranty exchanges.
    Since you dropped the phone in the toilet, this would be an out of warranty exchange as water damage is not covered.
    Out of Warranty exchange in the US is $199.

  • My iphone screen has turned black, phone is still on as screen shots can be taken. When home button and power button are held - no apple icon will appear. Please help

    My iphone screen has turned black, phone is still on as screen shots can be taken. When home button and power button are held - no apple icon will appear. Please help??

    If this iPhone has had the screen replaced previously, possibly LCD Display connector has simply come loose from the Logic Board. Possibly the LCD Display is faulty and the front screen assembly needs to be replaced. If you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple. This is handled by Apple with Replacement iPhone 4S.

  • Can't get response from home button

    Hello, My home button does not respond. I have reset numerous times to no avail. Is this a hardware problem?

    It could be. My first iPhone 4 had this problem. I tried resetting, restoring etc but it turned out that it was a hardware fault.
    Does the button feel a little soft? What I mean is, has it lost the typical 'click' feeling when you press it? That was what lead me to call Apple support for a new phone...
    Apple replaced it for me no worries though.

  • 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.

  • How do I get all the control buttons in one place in 3.6.16, like they used to be in previous versions? Having the refresh and stop buttons between address and search windows, and the home button to the far right is awful.

    In 3.6.16, the buttons are all over the place. In previous versions, the forward, back, refresh, stop and home buttons were all together. In this version, the refresh and stop buttons are between the address and search windows, and the home button to the far right.
    I would love to have them all together as they used to be - much more user friendly that way. I have tried installing alternate themes, but the coding of this version over-rides the themes.

    Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

    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.
