What does the icon on the top of the screen of the ipod touch that looks like a lock with a circle around it mean?, What does the icon on the top of the screen of the ipod touch that looks like a lock with a circle around it mean?
So at the top of my screen like where the time is... there is this symbol that looks like a lock with a circle around it. It is next to the battery icon. What does this mean?
It's the screen orientation lock. It prevents the screen from switching between portrait and landscape views when you turn the iPod.
To engage or disengage this feature, double click the home button. This will bring up the multitasking tray. Swipe all the way to the left until you see the iPod controls, then tap the gray icon with the lock on it. This will toggle the feature on and off.

iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?
Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened? Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

When I open "mail" all that opens is the gray ribbon on the top.I have to go to "Mailboxes/inbox" to get it to aspen. What happened? How do I get the full screen to open when I click my "mail" icon like it used to?
Move your cursor way over to the right side of the window. There should be a thin bar. when you hover over the left side of the thin bar, the cursor will change to a vertical bar with an arrow sticking out the left. Click and drag to the left.

Yeah, tried that. There's no symbol in that row of apps. I'm stuck on no rotation land. Running iOS 8.1.
Ralph's post was for iOS 6 almost 2 years ago.
Swipe up on the bottom on the screen to open Control Center.

my 3gs has a icon at the top right next to the battery life that looks like a lock with an arrow around it and i dont know what it mean or what i did to get it there any help?
Screen orientation lock. Double click the home button to bring up the recent app bar. Then finger swipe left-to-right to bring up the iPod controls. The icon on the far left (circle with lock in it) is the orientation lock button - press it, and the lock will go away.

I am experiencing a recurring, very annoying problem with my ipad. When i touch an icon ap and start using it, i am often kicked off it and returned to the icon screen. What is going on and does anyone have the same experience and any solutions? Thanks.
If it's happening on all apps that you've downloaded, but not on the Apple built-in apps, then try downloading any free app as that appears to reset something - you can then re-try your apps, and you can delete the free app.
If it's only happening on one or two apps then try closing them completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with any of the affected apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the apps to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
The icon appeared when I "grabbed" the top of my iPhoto window to move it across the desktop. I don't want to delete important files, and wonder what I should do about the icon.
I am using Time Machine.Thanks LarryHN,
I have iPhoto version 9.4.3, and the "Rebuilt Library" icon is on the desktop.
Interestingly, when I closed iPhoto in order to perform the option startup, I got the spinning beachball and had to force quit—when I reopened, using the option key, a window did ask which library to use—I chose the rebuilt library.
I moved the "Rebuilt Library" icon to the iPhoto Library folder.
Thanks again!

I need help, my phone wont turn on all it shows is the charger symbol and itunes on the top. i need help ASAP
You need to connect the phone to a computer & use iTunes to restore.
Any data you have not backed up has been lost.

I have problems with attechments of mails when it is a short movie (mostley humor). They come in my mailbox wot quicktime and i tru to open them but my ipad loads them but keeps showing "loading" but nothing happens. After a while my ipad goes in sleepingtime. So it doesn't give a faillure or some other choises. This is a problem because now i can only see those mails on my labtop (sorry not from apple) Is there any solution for this problem.
Miranda jansenInstall the Flex:Player App; http://itunes.apple.com/app/flex-player/id451024857?alreadyRedirected=1&mt=8
Then you can open the movies, keep tapping on them and choose Open in Flex:Player. -
An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?
For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions. -

The the remaining items of the following, you may have to let the battery fully drain.

- Also try DFU mode after try 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.
