When I press the Home button the iPad won't return to the home page. I have to press hard or press down for a long period to get it to change. sometimes I turn it off and on again to be able to access the home page

When  I press the home button my iPad won't go to he home page. It is as though the button isn't working properly?

Try this to calibrate your home button:
Open a stock iOS app (e.g., Clock). Once the app is open, press your iPad’s power button until the ‘slide to power off’ screen appears. From that screen, press and hold your Home button until iOS force quits the stock app you have open. You’re done!

  • When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

    My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.  First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

    You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it.  After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again.  As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

    You dont have any data on your phone yet right?
    If you dont connect your device to the computer and
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    after that click okay when it says itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. Then click restore
    after that try again

    recalibrate the battery, let the device run out of battery to where it shuts off and then fully charge it without using it.

  • My laptop turns on, reaches the desktop and then suddenly fades to black as if it was put to sleep but never comes back to life until I turn it off and on again.

    My laptop turns on, reaches the desktop and then suddenly fades to black as if it was put to sleep but never comes back to life until I turn it off and on again. What do you think is the problem and how can I fix it?

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • 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..
