Why the home button sometimes work but?
My friend's iPhone 4 dropped and cracked a little bit on the front but now the home button is not responsible but sometimes it works. What is damaged?
Probably the spring on the home button. It is all one unit to replace it.

This is getting incredibly annoying. I've had this thing for 3 months and I can't use it for more than 5 mins at a time because the touchscreen stops responding!!! I tried restoring it to its factory defaults and it still keeps messing up.
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.

My Iphone4 Home button sometimes work nicely and sometimes it stop working. India Apple care says they cant give me even paid support because i bought phone from Australia. i don't know what to do. i m disappointed with the product and service support
When you buy an iPhone in the U.S. it's locked to that country with the carrier you bought it for.
If you bought the device unlocked in the U.S. it's unlocked, you can use it on any carrier. Even one's outside the country.
If you want to do a repair on a device you bought in the U.S. and your using it in another country, you must send it back to the U.S. Why? That's where you bought it from.
AppleCare Protection Plans and AppleCare Limited Warranties are registered to your hardware.
Your hardware is your iPhone.
Wherever hardware that was bought then that's the country it was designed to be used in and that's where it was manufactured.
Apple is very localized - if you call U.S. tech support, you'll speak to somone in your country.
So, what does all this mean?
In order to do a repair, you need to send it back to the country you got it from.
And we're all customers like you. We understand that you're upset, but Apple isn't gonna bend the rules to one individual.

iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?
Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

daughter forgot passcode on iphone 4s try restore itunes but when plugged in the home button wnt work
I find it hard to believe that so many people can forget a FOUR digit password that they use every day on their phone! For goodness sakes write it down somewhere!!
Contact Apple Support in your country and see what they can do to help.

Myi iphone4 microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat
Myi iphone4 microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat
Did you try another restore and this time not to restore from a backup and see if that makes a difference? This is what Apple would tell you to do next based on my iphone 5 fiasco.
Make sure all your data is available on your computer for manual syncing later.
Since you did the hard reset I assume that means your home button isn't broken only that it got frozen before. Were you able to get the Apple logo after the reset? Did it boot?
And you are using iTunes 10.7?
I'm just trying to help get you going. -
I bought this iPod mid-March, I've only had it for a little less than 5 months. I bought it at Best Buy, I don't know if that matters or anything- I have a geek squad and apple warranty. I'm only nineteen years old and this was my first real big purchase and I'm very disappointed. I've had other iPods before and never had any issues with them, my last one lasted from 2008 - 2013. I take very good care of my iPod Touch, never dropped it or anything of the sort and I keep it in a thick case. This iPod worked fine up until recently. First the home button became unresponsive, I had to activate the assistive touch because I use this iPod for school work. I was about to take my iPod into Best Buy so they could take a look at it and see if there was anything they could do before I contacted apple, but now my iPod is completely dead. It won't respond at all. I had to disconnect the charger because the iPod screen was getting hot and it wasn't charging. It's been disconnected for a few hours and the screen still feels hot. I'm really concerned, especially with recent news reports of handheld devices overheating and burning people or even exploding. Will the apple warranty cover this so I can get a new iPod? What are my options?
If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why is the home button not working correctly?
I have reset the button by holding sleep key & home button down, i have also tried to reset the home button by holding this down itself, it is still none responsive most if the time. I have done this many times.
It is also very difficult to get it to open the 'open apps bar', so i can close these down!!
My ipad is only 4 days old and i feel frustrated to be having problems so soon!!!Calibrate Home Button

3. As soon as you see it, press the Home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is forced quit to the Home menu -

The home button non working, how to solve this problem?
the home button of my iphone 4 is not responding? any reason ? how to solve it?
Ah, yeah water could be the problem. It depends on where the water went into the phone. Try this, turn the phone off and place in a bag of uncooked rice for a couple of days. The rice will asborb the water. This may or may not work.
Take a look at this article to determine if the water tripped the damage indicator - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3302 -

My ipod has a white screen and the home button doesnt work
my ipod has a white screen and my home button doesnt work so how can i fix it?
Try as best you can:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
