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.

    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 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.

  • HT2188 home button no longer working after upgrade to io6 on my iphone4...any ideas to fix this problem

    home button no longer working after upgrade to ios6 software on my iphone4..anything i can do to frix this or apple send me a new device.  phone no good without a home button

    The button's broken.  S**t happens.  Apple will replace your phone.  If in waranty it will be free of charge.  If not, you will pay $149. 
    You can elect to have it repaired at a 3rd party shop near you if you choose, but this will void all warranty if there's any left.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation keeps lagging, all the apps crash, nothing will update and my home button no longer works?

    my ipod touch will not stop crashing, its pretty much un usable now, is it worth resetting to default settings and clearing everything. Its about two years old and the screens been smashed twice and replaced, the home button no longer works, and now its slow and basically nothing even opens or updates. is it the end of my ipods life now ahah.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. You can't do it
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • What can you do if your ipod touch screen is broke.

    First off i would have hoped you said yes to the person who you bought the ipod touch from to get your 2 year insurance. This would cost around $20 - $35.  I also hope you added the one year insurance too. The 2 year insurance is for your ipod if any gadgets goes wrong. The one year insurance is a totaly different insurance but would help you out with your wallet. This insurance covers your ipod if you drop it any way and crack or break the screen. If you have this insurance you will b covered for a new ipod touch for no cost at all. All you would have to do is send it in with everything it had came with, your reciept, and other numbers to prove you had purchased it. They will re-imburse you with the ammount you had paid for it. Not including the insurance money, just the ipod touch. You then can go take that money and purchase a new ipod touch. But the one thing that is a downer is that not only your 1 year insurance is worthless your 2 year insurance is worthelss. When and if you do purchase another ipod you will have to re-buy the insurance if youd like to.

  • My iPhone 4 home button no longer works, the phone works perfectly otherwise but the home button does nothing. How can I fix this?

    Help me!

    You can add a virtual button that you can use - heres how:
    First make sure you are on version 5
    the go to SETTING>GENERAL>ACCESSIBILITY>ASSISTIVE TOUCH
    You will then have a button on the bottom right hand corner screen that is always there (you can move it around if its in the way). Pressing it will allow you to go to the home screen.
    Good luck - it happened to me too and this was a life saver  - I booked it into be seen at the Genius bar but by the time my appointment came through  (it took a few days) the home button started working again - literally just as I waas in the shop!  Think it might have just got a bit sticky as my 2 year old was playing with it.
