Hello all
I have a 6 month old iPad and the home button has started not responding, obviously not always but it's happening more and more frequently. Could anyone please suggest a possible cause / solution??
Many thanks

If it does not work, you should contact Apple. Your iPad should still be under warrantee.
...and in a pinch...you can use the virtual home button by going to...settings/general/Accessibility...and check "assistive touch."
A virtual home button will show up, which you can drag to a different spot on your screen.
Thanks again Twerppoet, you truly merit your legend status! Thanks so much, it really seems to have worked, I wasn't looking forward to taking it back to Apple and having to possibly reprogramme a new one!
thanks ski monkey, I'll keep that "on file"!
Glad it worked. I didn't have high hopes for it, but thought it was worth trying before going to Apple.Quote:

Just one of those articles I saved in case I need it some day.
what do you think may have caused it? I thought it may be because I use the iPad constantly in preference to the laptop and wondered if perhaps it was only supposed to be for more occasional use?
No idea. It's a computer. They glitch. Restarting at least once a week is a good idea.
