What does this symbol (in the top right corner of the screen) mean: a lock icon with an arrow encircling it?
so there's this little icon at the top right corner of my iTouch 32GB (next to the battery icon) that's driving me crazy.
can anyone tell me what it means, and how to get rid of it?
much appreciated

It is the Orientation lock. To disable it or turn it off, double click your Home button and swipe your finger to the right on the Multitasking Bar. Here you'll see the Orientation lock. Tap it once to turn it off.

Q - My images have a
? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?
A - The
? symbol is used to identify a file that Lightroom can no longer access; probably because it has been moved using OS drag/drop or Move command rather than Lightroom.
Click the
? symbol will cause a small dialog will appear. This dialog will provide information as to where the file was originally located along with an option to find (Locate) it again.
As you'll quickly realise, clicking the
? symbol is fine for finding individual files that may have been relocated, but not for large numbers. There must be a better way
Look at the Folder panel (left side of Library module) and you should find that the folder/subfolder containing the files that Lightroom can no longer find are shown in Red text. It is the red text that Lightroom uses to help you identify a folder/subfolder that contains files that it has lost track off.
On the Mac you should
Ctrl-click (right-click when using two button mouse) the folder/subfolder, a pop-up menu will appear. From the pop-up menu choose the command
Locate Missing Folder, a dialog should appear. The dialog gives you access to every hard disk connected to your computer or CD/DVDs if they're in the tray. Use this dialog to navigate to the location where the folder is now located, then select this folder (not the files). Finally, press the
Choose button and allow Lightroom to do its stuff.
The method described above also applies to the PC version although the dialog is called
Browse for Folder and the
Choose button is replaced by
OK.
You can avoid getting into a situation were Lightroom looses track of your folders/subfolders by using a variation of above.

Images have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail
Lightroom 2 crashed and now the RAW images I was processing have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?
The FAQ relating to this problem by Ian Lyons is dated - 03:39am Jun 9, 2007 Pacific refers to Lightroom and when I click on the ? no file or folder appears in red text.
I am on a PC with XP Pro (Update pack #3)
Any help in locating my files is greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
HersulI've had these problems on my mac and pc.
The ? mark appeared in the LR 2.0 Beta on some photos, and was still there in the latest Lr 2.0(bugga rather than beta). However LR found the photos and I was able to use the develop module to edit the photos.
I am going to be really un helpful and say just ignore it and they WILL go away - to quote JL "its all fine in my system."
The question marks have now gone. I tried the reboot, the delete plists and all the previews, I've rebooted, I compacted and relaunched the catalogs then went away for a couple of days leaving the mac on and LR running.
into PC land.
I frequently have missing thumbnails on my pc as well, this is usually after I have imported a chip full of photos and the pc has finished importing. Unlike my mac, the pc laptop does not tell me its finding / creating the previews.
If I start to do other things straight after import, ie goto develop or scroll thru photos, I get the missing thumbnails and then LR2 hangs.
It always looks good for clients when you say, hang on just gotta CTRL - ALT - DELETE and restart my expensive new program.
I have found, as several people have commented, that being patient with lightroom does work. Allowing LR to background process the thumbnails, the previews and the like does seem to make things more smooth - ie all the ?'s gone in macland and no more blank thumbnails in pcland. Maybe Lightroom is just a sulky 4yr old that we have to feed, and wait for it to digest, then it is happy. It does seem like the database needs to process to work properly, Hey adobe, if this is the case, can we have a progress meter for this please.
It seems that LR just needs to think about our photos... for a few days... i've only got 44,000 on my server so importing catalogs of the days work from the pc or chips does mean the "dreaded whirly umbrella of impatience" that spins when I select 3 photos or press Develop or bakc to Grid or Export or Stack or .... and it often spins for a long while.
So the ? on thumbnails and the photos actually being found and able to be edited is just an annoyance, another annoyance, especially after spending more than the US citizens on an upgrade and there being more bugs than the beta.
The blank thumbnails on a pc is just as frustrating, at least the database seems to be robust enough to allow CTRL- ALT - DELETE several times an hour.
Still, i like LR, though bibble 5.0 pro looks interesting, bloody messy interface though....
Maybe this version of lightroom is the bugga, the previous was the beta and we will get a LR2.23 which will be LR 2.23 brilliant. -
The menulets in the top right corner of my screen have disappeared. What should I do?
My brother was using my iMac today, and logged out of my account. When he did, every menulet in the top right corner of the screen disappeared besides Spotlight and the printer one. I tried to go to System Preferences and bring the menu buttons back up, but when I clicked on them, the check mark would appear but the icon wouldn't go back to the bar. Command+Drag also is not working. I am running OS X Leopard, if that makes any difference. Thanks for helping!
Yes, that's a manufacturing fault. Take it back for a replacement. Don't even try to fix it.

errors (-50) occured when i was using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in my iTunes application on my computer.
what is it?Quoted from the link I provided you with, in your other post.
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict. -
Settings is always showing a 1 at the top right corner on the icon.
My "Settings" is always showing a red 1 at the top right corner of the icon. There is no update at all, and this is annoying me. I restore my phone, make sure everything is up to date, and the number 1 is still showing. Anyone with this issue?
Keep trying. The 1 is telling you to do something.

If all your creditcard details are correct, you should be able to login and make purchases.

Shift icon in the top right corner of screen? Help please
Hey everybody, I have a question here. I've been getting a random problem on my curve 9310, and was wondering if anyone else had the problem or knows how to fix it. In the top right corner of my screen there's an icon, and it looks like its the shift/caps key icon, just aA^ (up arrow). The touchpad works, and I can scroll around, but the touchpad button or the enter button to open an application does not work, nor do any of the other keys. If I pull the battery and restart the phone, its still been doing that, and if I don't touch it and the screen fades to black, when I touch the buttons, its like the phone is off. I had this problem earlier in the week and it fixed itself, but its been doing it again. Any ideas on whats causing this, or how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi chris644 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
This icon in the top right corner you are seeing indicates that the caps lock has been enabled. If you press the shift button again, this should remove the icon from the top of the screen.
Thanks.

Does a sports camera positioned beside the top right corner of iPhone4 cause interference to GPS?
I rarely experience inaccurate tracking on Sports Tracker app though I did experience it the other day.
Since buying my HRM2 (for iPhone 4) I no longer run the myriad other GPS tracking apps on my iPhone. However, while out on a ride I discovered ST was not tracking well, so decided to simultaneously run a couple of apps. Another also experienced tracking problems.
I decided to remove the iPhone from the ST bike mount and put it in my back pack. The tracking issue resolved itself.
I was operating a sports camera on my bike at the time. It was located right beside the top right corner of the iPhone. On another bike, the sports camera is positioned differently (forward and lower of the top left corner) and I have experienced no problems with tracking. Could it have been causing interference on this ride due to its position?My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

I don't know why but somehow my imovie has dissapraed off my desktop when I want to be working on it. When I click new project at the top of the screen the file then reappears from the top right corner of my creen but does not fill my whole desktop. I then click on a name for a new project and then the app just disspears again inot the top right corner of my screen and I do not know how to get it back? This is is the first time this has happened.
Your's may look more like this...
...if you're running Mountain Lion. I'm in clamshell mode right now, so I don't have any mirroring options. AFAIK, there's no more "Show displays in menu bar" in Mountain Lion.

Perform an action on close from the close button in the top right corner
Hello.
I am working on an application that consists of a main fraim and multiple internal frames. Some of the menu items must not be enabled unless an internal frame is opened and if that internal frame closes the menu items must be disabled again. Now before opening the internal frame i do have the items setEnable(fase), and when i open the internal frame i setEnable(true). The problem is that i dont know how to perform an operation when i close the internal frame by the little box with the x in it, located in the top right corner of the internal frame, so i can setEnable(false) them again.
Any help will be appreciated!Use the InternalFrameAdapter. that has listeners for internal frame events..
use the particular method that you might be interested in ,
void internalFrameClosed(InternalFrameEvent e)
Invoked when an internal frame has been closed.
void internalFrameClosing(InternalFrameEvent e)
Invoked when an internal frame is in the process of being closed.
void internalFrameDeactivated(InternalFrameEvent e)
Invoked when an internal frame is de-activated. -

You have activated rotation lock. Check the little switch near the volume control.

In Numbers, I can see my documents but they have the top right corner turned over with a down arrow, what does that mean? I touch it and nothing happens.
I have recently done a full restore because my iPad and iPhone were mis-behaving and wouldn't work they way I expected with Windows XP and Outlook 2003 and now when I check iCloud.com, all my documents are gone, yet my iPad hints that they may still be somewhere but where are they?That is the orientation lock symbol, you can not go to landscape orientation. Tap the home button twice, swipe the task bar to the right, tap on the 'circle' icon at the left to unlock the orientation. You will then be able to view items in portrait and landscape mode.
