  • Everyone that is call this fail stfu. Yes it does take the pic of the screen but it also fixes the button, I have a 4 th gen iPod and I would have to press the home button several times to exit an app or open the iPod. After I tried this, it instantly became new again. Thanks

  • that just takes a pic of the screen!!

  • @casper1394 , nothing works :( , thanks for the help though I appreciated (:

  • It worked! :D

  • just took a screen shot. check your photos and you will see what i mean.the button sticking is a mechanical problem

  • Thanks man it worked

  • Awesome, this actually worked. I have to admit I was skeptical at first, as I thought it was a physical problem with the iPod not a software issue. Thank You!

  • thanks i did what you said but only time will tell if it fixed it cause mine worked most of the time but not all of the time

  • Do any one know how to unstick the home button cause mine is completely stuck

  • this doesnt work so why say 100%

  • @kynhaha Same that's what happened to my first gen!

  • Ok.. My home button, is STUCK! its literally, STUCK! Its like its sticking. Idk. I cant press it.

  • Is this for software issues only, not mechanical

  • Thankkk Youuuu !

  • Thankk Youuuuu !

  • yo man thanx yo, my home button works now

  • Try holding down the power button in an 'apple' app like photos,safari etc and when the 'slide to power off' pops up, hold the homebutton untill the slide to power off fades away.

  • mine doesnt work still even after i tried this!

  • Well i dont care what anyone else said but it work for me thanks dude

  • Everyone that believed this gay video is really retarded. All he did was take a screen shot. Worst how to video ever!

  • Dipshit, you took a screenshot. So much fail right here.

  • I fucking love you

  • wow nice vid it helped me alot

  • my home button won't work and i can't figure out what to do next. My email is dymond65@yahoo.com

  • THAX SOO FUCKIN MUCH MY BUTTON WAS BROKEN FO WEEKS!!! LOVE U MAN

  • Thank you so much for your video. My home button was giving me problems and wouldn't work. Out of all the other people's videos I watched on YouTube yours was the only one that worked so thank you :)

  • This fix DOES work, I had trouble at first but when you push the power button hold it down and THEN press the home button. I never thought this would work and after a couple tries figured I was right but then I held the power done and...poof...problem fixed!!! Greaat work for a first time video rabydmoose! Thank you!

  • Awesome. It worked.

  • When I push my home butten It doesn't work or it says I doble pushed it but now it work

  • I thought it wasn't going to work but it actually worked lol thanks

  • This worked for me but hopefully it will keep working! Thanks man!

  • The flash is a screen capture. You will find the captured image in your photos.

  • This helped me so much! I have the newest iPod touch, and before you type in the passcode, just hold the home and power button until there's a flash, it DOES work! Great video and thank you

  • I like you

    

  • this does not work if the button is completely jammed , u cant just expect to be fixed

    after pressing it again !!

  • On the itouch 4 this process merely shuts off the device. Does not affect the non-working home button.There is no white flash.

  • i tried it, it didnt work:/

  • The cause of this is the ram getting to cluttered it's a bitch if you tethered jail broken on 4.3.5 cause everything you reboot it doubles over your ram so restore and upgrade to 5.0.1 and do the untethered. Also you get more cool shit from cydia like Siri on iPods

  • didn't work

  • @DLD511

    I have had the same problem with my iPod 4 and I believe that it is the hardware slowly losing its touch maybe. No pun intended

  • Damm nice bro!

  • It worked! Thank you!

  • What if ur home button don't work ?!?!?

  • My home button is stuck so even if I press it & the top button it doesn't work ... What can i do ?

  • @LAXdeLUX Yep

  • Lol I had my doubts but it WORKED! Lol I love you right now! THANKS

  • I was digging through the methods of getting the "home" button to work. I found this video - In my case, this option didn't work. :-( Since my screen was already lifted as I was installing a new one. I powered off the iPod touch. I lightly sprayed the home button internals with some Caig's De-Oxit. I let it dry for 15 mins. I then put some of the 3M tape under the home ribbon cable as it lifts up slightly from the metal back. This is the method that fixed my home button issue.

  • nvm it worked

  • it deosnt 4 me cuzz I can't press the home button 4 the flash

  • Works like a charm!!

  • Another thing!!! Does anyone notice how when u first buy an iPod touch 4g, the home button gradually stops working reliably. Why would do that? And why would doing this "reverse the problem." Does anyone wonder about that???

    Sorry for the wordy comment.

  • wtf!!!!! This one of those things u say bull to. That is wat I though when I was watching this.

    How can u make a passcode and take screen picture and then works???

    Well to my surprise it does work. WHICH US STRAIGHT UP WIERD.

    please explain to me what gave u this idea that this would work. I mean it does but how does this even fix anything (it does fix the home with weird "apple magic").

    Please explain.

  • Oh but ya it worked. Just wanted to say it was the home button. Thnx. :p jks bout the idiot part

  • LOL that flash is the ipod taking a snapshot of the screen. Idiot!

  • Holy shit, it actually works!

    And it worked on my 4th gen iPod touch, jussayin.

  • oh yh nice one.... all that does is take a screen shot... how can i take a screen shot if my home button dont work.....

  • How the fuck can I take a pic if my home button doesn't work?!

  • this is f.cking working lol, and for al those who things that it dont works on 4g, shut up, i tried it on a ipod touch 4g and it worked, thanks man

  • WTF how does this help

  • My friend did it and it still doesn't work

    She has a 4th fen help us plz

  • Why does this work? I have no f~ing idea but all I have to say is thank u a million times!

  • IT DOES WORK

  • it doesnt work on the ipod touch 4g

    

  • This didn't help me at all -______-

  • The only reason this has worked for some of you is simple. Its cause the repeated fucking around with the button has freed the what ever the hell stuck under the button. This is also damaging cause it grinds what ever the hell it is against the pad and board.

  • Since people have been messaging me thanking me I will once again tell you ALL that this does not work. Blowing in the data port does. You could also remove the screen and use some compressed air. This is only happening because something is getting caught under the button. Could be a spec of dust or lint from it being in your pocket. In fact since I see this has been an issue I have offered to repair a few iPods and I seen some with tobacco stuck under the damn button.

  • all that did was make me take a screenshot :(

  • stop talking just show me how

    -.-

  • How can u do that if ur home buttons broken?-___- wow that's just screen shotting. What really works is go to ur setting then general then there's a assesiblites touch and turn it on then it's a extre for home button

  • Comment removed

  • Ugh why do people do this dumb crap all its doing is taking a screen shot look in your photos there it is you also just hold the sleep and press home not change real quick. Read the guide in ur bookmarks befor you act like you discovered something new. Noob

  • You took a picture

  • When I tried that, all it did is turn-off. My iPod truly is screwed

  • Thanks man it worked

  • Thanks a lot for your warm comments. Am sorry that i don't know how to reply to your comments from my iPod. You are most welcome and keep spreading this info till we bring a smile to the people having a faulty home button:)

  • all u did is take a pic

  • This will work guys, if your confused when he does the flash thing he's just taking a screen shot. If for some reason this doesn't work try going to settings, scroll down to general, and then all the way down to accessibility and once your in that scroll down to assistive touch and turn it on. A little white circle icon should appear somewhere on the screen. Its just a substitute home button. Hope that helped :)

  • Holy shit it worked. Thank you my brotha!!!

  • How Am I Suppose To Click The Main Screen Button Am The Top Button If It Dnt Work ? FAIL

  • Thank you so much .. It worked for me even though I have the iPod touch 4g. 8gb !

  • Comment removed

  • So i figured out why my home button stopped working. I have a screen protector, but the home button is uncovered. So i realized that it stopped working because it was dirty. So what i did was i cleaned it and i took off the screen protector and flipped it upside down so that the home button hole was at the top. Low and behold... It worked! So i figured that you just need to keep the home button clean and make sure that nothing slipps under it. I have a 4th generation so it has a front-facing ca

  • Nope, doesn't work for me. :/

  • @RebuildHotel dosent work for me

  • My device is 4g touch iOS 5 an it still worked , I used to have to press my home button like 100 times before it worked so yeah thanks man!

  • If you running an apple device under ios 5 and your hime button barely working or not being responsive, go to setting-general-accessibility-­assistive touch and activate it. You will get an onscreen HOME BUTTON and it will solve all your problem. It changed my life!! :)Dhyana Chetty.

  • I think this would have worked if I had tried it first, but I tried the other guy's idea first and I think I smoked my Home button in the process of doing his fast button pushing thing. So I went from having a firmware issue to having a hardware issue. I've been using my 1G Touch for over three years with absolutely no issues, now, thanks to the "other" guys advice I've gotta open up my iPod case and try and fix it that way. CRAP!
