An icon with a lock & enclosed a clockwise circle with arrow

The captioned icon is located next to battery icon on the top right bar. Can someone advise me what it is and usage. Thanks!

That, my friend, is the orientation lock. To turn it on or off, go to the multitasking bar, slide all the way to the left and you will see it there, touch to turn on or off. That keeps the iPhone oriented in portrait.

Cirle icon with arrow in iTunes display

Hey there,
I have noticed an icon in the iTunes track display window - to the right of where the track time remaining is there is a small circle with an arrow that looks like it's indicating a "Return" type function. I press it and if I have a song selected that is NOT the one currently playing, it re selects the currently playing song. Does this icon have any other function? Why wouldn't one simply re select the song with the mouse?
Thanks,
Carl

It's another (quick) way to access the "Show Current Song" feature.
You can also use the Menu Bar File > "Show Current Song" or press command and L keys to do the same thing.
Useful if you want more information than that currently displayed in the small window at the top. If you choose this function in Mini Player mode it will also open the full window.

Shortcuts have arrows on them to indicate they are a shortcut, and not the actual file itself. Mine point towards the inside of the icon though.

You enter Target Disk mode by launching the iMac with the "T" key held down or by the method you used. It's used so another Mac connected to it can access the files as if it were another external HD.

What do you mean "with the ends cut off"?
You swipe the screen upwards starting on this icon to open the camera app.

I'd like a basic icon in the lock screen to indicate Text, Email etc. Seems all I can have in lock screen is full alert (with or without detail) or am I missing something?

Lock icon with circle ios7 need to unlock

Lock icon with circle ios7 need to unlock

Slide up the new Control Panel window from bottom of screen. There you should find a similar icon in the upper right, lightly shaded white. Tap on it and it will turn grey, removing the little icon on your screen and unlocking the screen.
Hope this helps - worked for me, though how it got turned on in the first place a mystery...

Has anyone else noticed an issue with the new mail icon on the lock screen?

After updating to iOS 8 there is a new mail icon on the lock screen. When I slide it up I get this message:
"Failed to continue activity- the connection to your other device may have been interrupted- Please try again"
After trying again and again I get the same message and I do not have the "other device" that it mentions. I'm not sure what is going on, does anyone have any ideas?

Nope, have not seen this issue or have this issue myself. Try going into Settings and toggling off that email account, toggle back on and then send a test email to yourself. If it still persists, delete the email account and re-add and try again.

You don't, unless you disable the Camera app entirely.
It's such a nuisance...
Really, how so?
I don't want people going into my photos or my iphone!!
If you add a passcode to your iPhone as you should, then there's no way they can see anything in your iPhone. Of course, if the passcode is set but not enough time has elapsed that's different -- but that has nothing to do with this icon.

Folder icon with an exclamation point

My ipod told me I had a corrupt disk so I restored it. I then tried to sync it with my itunes library but after a while it said "The iPod (my name) cannot be synced. The required file (or disk) cannot be found." And then it says the sync is finished. When I look at my iPod, only a few of my songs appear as opposed to the number that it got to when syncing. I then tried restoring it again but the computer now freezes and doesn't find the ipod and only unfreezes when the ipod is unplugged. Occasionally itunes comes up with a message about my ipod being corrupt and needs to be restored even when the ipod isn't plugged in. Now the folder icon with an exclamation point has come up on my screen, and it will not connect to the computer at all. I have tried putting it into disk mode but it still doesn't work. does this mean that I have no hope and I will have to buy a new one??

I have tried all of those. when i even tried to
restore factory settings, it said ipod manager
internal error. what is that? and one other thing i
noticed, the lock symbol that appears when you slide
the hold button appers at the bottom of the computer
screen when my ipod is attached, I guess suggesting
that it is locked, but when i toggle it on the ipod
itself it appears and disappers as indicated. this
is driving me nuts!
iPod Manager Internal Error deals with the software versions you have on your computer. One of them might be out of date. Make sure you have iTunes 6.0.4 (open iTunes, click on Help, click on About iTunes. The version is the top line of the gray text that scrolls up). Then make sure you have iPod Updater 2006-03-23.
If you need to update iTunes you can get it at
www.apple.com/itunes/download
If you need to update iPod Updater you can get it at
www.apple.com/ipod/download
If you find that your software is all up to date, try just restarting your computer, and then restoring again. (If you have your iPod in disk mode, you should disconnect it before you restart your computer).
If that doesn't work, just uninstall and reinstall iTunes. This should resolve the iPod Manager Internal Error.
As far as the lock icon goes... I'm not sure about that one. It might have something to do with having the iPod in disk mode, or it might just be acting weird because of what's going on with the iPod right now. As long as it isn't blocking you from trying the steps to fix the iPod, I wouldn't worry too much about it for now. Maybe it'll act normally once you resolve the !folder.
Best wishes,
