Why doesn't my home button work?

I just recently exchanged my iphone for a brand new one, because the "home" button didn't work, unless I pressed a thousand times. So the Apple store exchanged it for me, took it home, updated it, and its doing the same thing!!! Can ANYONE help me on this? Im about to throw this thing of the Zakim Bridge!!!!

I have been having the same issue with my home button for the last few weeks, and it's only getting worse. When you went to the Apple store, did they say what was causing it? I don't have the extemded warrenty on mine, I never bought one. Not sure if they'll be able to help me with mine or not. But I came on here and was going to complain about the same issue, then I saw yours. I googled it and it seems like it's becoming a common issue, but everyone seems to have a different opinion of why and how to fix it. ANNOYING.

Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.
Thank you

Why won't the home button work

I just dropped my iphone for the first time. It didn't have an otter box, just a thin plastic cover. It landed on it's screen but shows no screen damage whatsoever. Now I can't use the home button. I can listen to my music and play games just fine, but when it comes to getting back to the home screen with the home button it doesn't work. It makes the usual clicking sound, but nothing else. I got it to the home screen a couple of times by pushing the button with alot of force but I'm affraid that will damage it more. What should I do? Is it fixable? Do I have to take it to be repaired or can I fix it at home?

Sounds like you broke your phone. Bringt it and $149 to the Apple store for an out of warranty replacement.

Why doesn't my bottom button work sometimes

Sometimes it acts like its locked up and the bottom button won't work....

I'm not exactly sure what could be causing this to occur, but this "fix" seems to have helped other users with a similar home button issue.
From the home screen, double tap the home button to bring up the task bar with the recent apps in it. Tap and hold down on one of the app icons until they all begin to wiggle. Tap the minus signs in the corner of all of the apps to close them. Then tap the screen above the task bar. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears, then slide to shut down. Press and hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears, to start up.
You can also try an old standby -reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if that helps.

Why doesn't the home button on my iphone 4 work all the time?

Often, despite pressing repeatedly, it just won't take me out of the programme I'm currently in.

How old is your phone? It is my understanding that they do wear out; some sooner, some later.

Why doesn't the 'Reanalyze' button work?

After accidentally syncing both the Upright Mode and the Upright Transforms (instead of just the mode) from 1 photo to approximately 200 other photos, I noticed something quite strange.
When selecting the 'Auto' upright mode on any of the other pictures, the transformation was done using data from the original photo.
When realising that I'd synced that transformation data across to a load of photos that it didn't apply to, I tried pressing the 'Reanalyze' button. This seems to have no effect - the images are still incorrectly transformed.
The only solution was to manually reset every synced photo to its imported state (although I suppose I could have undone the sync operation, but I only realised this after doing other changes). After doing this, the transformations work correctly.
Perhaps I have misunderstood what the button does, but if I have, then I can't see how you are meant to resolve this problem

Why doesn't my "SubmitFeedback" button work?

Well for starters, I don't find a Feedback button at the top of the page as was shown. I got to it thru the menu. I get to the page where I can type in my suggestion but the "Submit" button seems dead. Nothing happens when I click it.

I believe there's a Feedback link on the Help menu. Try using that one.

Why are so many home buttons not working like mine? See web comments

Why are so many home buttons on ipad 2 reported as faulty on the web? Mine is being replaced because of this requiring tedious journeys to Apple Bristol

Webchats, forums, and news reporters basically talk about what doesn't work, not what does. This site is for people who are having trouble so you don't see many people logging in saying: "I have a perfect iPad!" Consumer non-News would be: "Im John Materese and today no-one returned an iPad to the local Apple Store."
Sorry you had a bad experience but with millions and millions made and sold, some one is bound to get a defective device. To put it another way, if Apple's defective rate were an industry unheard of 1%, with 15 million iPads sold, that would be 150,000 iPads that had a defect. 1% is a very small number, 150,000 isn't

Why is my iPhone home button not working?

Recent;y my iPhone 4 home button has intermittently stopped going "home" and just stay on the last page selected. I spoke with an apple customer service person and the said that if the horizontal tray at the bottom of the display could be too full ad that would cause a delay in the home button working. Any suggestions?

If this has anything to do with software, a back up and restore is always the best option to do! First you will want to create a back up via this link:

After the back up has been created, if you really want to save your information to the computer than here is a whole list of ways to save your info to a computer:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
After you are comfortable that you saved all of your information, do a system restore back to factory settings! the reason is because if you can prove to apple, that in factory settings that the phone is not operating as expected, so long as your in warranty they will service the product. If you are outside, you should only have to pay either $169 (Canada) $149 (USA) for an iphone 4. It may be a little more expensive for the 4S as it is the newest product. Those same prices apply to a iphone 3G and 3GS

Why are only my sleep and home buttons working but the screen doesnt recognise my touch

Why Doesn't the XIRR function work?

In Excel if you have 5 records from a1:b5 then XIRR looks like this:
XIRR(A1:A5, B1:B5) you get a nice neat answer like .35
Here is a version that works in Crystal that would require manual entry of any new quarters numbers and dates-- and if you plug this into Crystal it works:
(XIRR([1000000,-100000,-100000,-100000,-100000,10277.49,-100000], [DateValue(1999,2,1),DateValue(1999,3,1),DateValue(1999,6,1), DateValue(1999,12,1),DateValue(2000,3,1),DateValue(2000,6,1),DateValue(2000,9,1)]))*.100
You do get a nice answer of something like .035. But this is all done manually and I need it to function automatically when the report is refreshed.
So you have a range for the currency and a range for the date fields. I need to simulate this in crystal. Crystal has an XIRR function, and with the arrays, I should be able to fill in the range, but am having difficulty getting it to work.
After building the arrays, I made another formula to combine the arrays in the XIRR formula.
I am down to this error now after getting this formula this far --
"Numerical method did not converge; try another value for guess."
Here's where I am with the formula, although they don't want to use the guess part of the XIRR function - they just want to use the XIRR(number/currency, date). Maybe you could pass this on too?:
/{@Reset} for the group header (NOT using a repeated group header):
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x := 0;
datevar array y := date(0,0,0);
numbervar i := 0;
numbervar j := 0;
//{@accum} for the detail section:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
numbervar i := i + 1;
numbervar j := count({table.groupfield},{table.groupfield});
if i <= j then (
redim preserve x[j];
redim preserve y[j];
x := tonumber({table.currency});
y := datevalue({table.datetime})
//{@xirr calc} to be placed in the group footer:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
xirr(x,y)
The array works correctly. So why do I get that error and why doesn't the XIRR formula work like they say it should? Has anyone used this successfully in Crystal--maybe you could shed some light?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am receiving that same error when the last item in the array is 0, otherwise all works perfectly.
When I run the same group of numbers and dates in Excel it returns without issue.
-265500.00,-690000.00,-570000.00,16814.25,-855000.00,-619500.00,55293.46,30411.40,15183.76, 0.00
01-25-2007,03-06-2007,05-02-2007,06-29-2007,08-01-2007,08-24-2007,09-17-2007,03-14-2008,05-28-2008,03-31-2010
=XIRR(A2:J2,A1:J1,-0.1)
Is there a known bug in Crystal's XIRR function when the last value is 0?
Or a hot-fix that will repair this?
Thanks in advance,
Gary
PS. I am using Crystal XI Product Version: 11.0.0.2495

Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

Hey MarieF-D,
Thanks for the question. The following article provides basic troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108
Troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
Note: When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
Thanks,
Matt M.
