When your iPod Touch back button isn't working, a few simple steps can help correct the problem.
If you own an Apple device such as the iPhone or iPod Touch, you may be aware that taking it apart will void your warranty, which could be a costly mistake. However, like any device, the iPod Touch is susceptible to bugs and other issues. The home button below your touch screen is important, as it is used to navigate back from applications into the main menu. If your back button isn't working, Apple has a few tips on how you can repair it.
Instructions
1. Open an application and navigate back to the main menu by pressing the home button, noting how long it takes for the button to respond. Do this with several applications. If some apps are fine while others are sluggish, delete those apps and reinstall them.
2. Press down the back button and the sleep button at the top of the Touch until you see the Apple logo appear. This will reset your device.
3. Connect the Touch to your computer and open iTunes. Click on your iPod Touch under "Devices" and then click "Restore." If the button is still having problems after you restore the Touch, call an Apple store to set up an appointment.
