An unknown picture has appeared on my ipad2 lock screen and I can't remove it in wallpaper settings

An unknown picture not on my photo roll has appeared on my lock screen and I can't get rid of it in wallpaper settings.

By chance my ipad ran out of charge, and when I charged it the offending picture had disappeared so it is now ok.
Does anyone have an idea how this happened in the first place as I am concerned how it got on my ipad.

  • I seem to have locked a picture from a previous email on my screen and now can't see other emails what to do?

    I have a picture locked in my screen. How can I get this picture unlocked?

    Does tapping on it not give you a Done option at the top left of it ? If not then try closing the Mail app completely andsee if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app '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 Mail app 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 also do 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.

  • My Messages app on my Mac has two of the same Apple ID, and I can't remove one of them without disabling iCloud?

         Hello everyone. As my title states, I am having trouble with my Messages application on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012).
         When I go to Messages and click Messages and then Preferences at the top, it shows I have to Yahoo! email accounts associated with my Mac (note that these are the same email addresses). For the first one, the description is my actual email adress ([email protected]). For the sedond one, the descrption is 'Yahoo!'. I can't disable one without disabling the other, and I don't know which one to use with Yahoo! Messenger.
         Thanks for reading, any help is appreciated.

    Obvious question, but have you got 'Find My iPhone' set on both devices?  Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone.

  • The smaller picture in face time bounced around the screen and has disappeared. How can I get it back.

    The smaller picture in face time bounced around the screen and has disappeared. How can I get it back.?

    I take it this was during a call? Close the app and open it again.
    Failing that, and when the call is over, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

  • My sons ipad2 has just frozen on the lock screen.

    Please help! My sons ipad2 has kind of frozen on the lock screen. If I press the slide to unlock a white box appears around it and a voice says unlock but nothing happens. Also if I press the time it will say the time and show the white box but again nothing happens. I have tried to reset it multiple time with no joy.
    I have also connected it to iTunes to restore it but it say that I have to turn off the find my ipad app, which of course I can't as I can't get past the lock screen and I have also tried to update it, however as my son has only a limited amount of space it won't let me do that either. I hope someone can help and thank you in advance for trying.

    Hi Scarecrow1400, thank you for trying to help this evening. I eventually came across an article about ipad recovery mode and on the second attempt was able to restore the ipad to factory settings which obviously bypasses the 'where my ipad' feature. So, for now it's fixed :-) thanks again and I hope you have a great new year.

    urgh... just noticed my previous post said i have mountain lion... i meant that i have snow leopard.  no idea why i messed that up!
    anyway, i just tried reinstalling snow leopard from the usb key that came with the computer. Then, I installed software updates until it told me there were no more updates. After that, I tried the app store again, and it still is giving me the unknown error. really irked by that. may have to take it back to the apple store yet again, to see if i can figure out why the app store won't work.

    Im sorry to hear that. You need to restore like brad said.
    But you can restore from a latest backup from itunes after restore. I hope you had a recent backup made.

    Batteries can and have expanded when they are old and their useful life is over.  More often than not, there will be a warning generated in the battery display in the menu bar or in System Information>Power.  You may use a #00 Phillips driver and take off the bottom of the MBP and take out the battery.

  • Iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.

    iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.
    After installing latest version of Itunes, I connected my Iphone via USB and selcted yes to upgrade my Iphone, towards the end of the upgrade a notification popped up indicating that the upgrade had failed. Since then my Iphone just isn't responding, I've tried reinstalling Itunes, turning off Norton Security.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you Carolyn,
    I've been through all those and apart from anything else, itunes is not seeing my phone, I therefore cannot restore the phone.
    Have tried deleting and reinstalling itunes in case something was missing there, though the fact the problem is on both my mac and my windows machine seems to me to suggest a phone problem..
    Is it possible that the latest IOS update which I did a week or so ago was not completed correctly? If so could this cause the problem? And how can I correct it?
    Many thanks

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

  • Firefox has taken over almost all of my desktop and I can't remove it....

    Firefox has taken over three quarters of my desktop and I can't remove it. This is irritating and I will remove firefox if this continues,
    I have pictures of my daughter as my desktop and do not appreciate this.

    On any windows machine use "Alt+SpaceBar" to help you move or resize the window.
    Windows 7 (only) users can use WinKey+leftarrow (cursor keys) to reposition window to the left half of the screen and then you can resize or move from there with the normal methods. Works nicely if you for instance lost your window on another monitor or want to switch the window to a different monitor in use. (something to look forward to in the future as you are on Vista)
    Please refer to the following article for many more tips, more complete information on how to fix, and if possibly an extension is involved in the problem.
    * '''http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window'''
    It is still possible to resize and move windows with JavaScript for those who lost the ability with Firefox 8.0 and above, but it involves a couple of extra steps covered in the above article.

  • IOS7 has some bugs, Swipe changing lock screen! iphonehassomebugs

    Hi everyone,
    Iphone has some bugs(Part 1)
    Check this video for my very first bug experience,
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK_nIq4b82s&feature=youtu.be
    Steps to reproduce the issue:
    1. Keep the lock screen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper different,
    2. Swipe right to unlock and swipe to the left immediately after you reach the right-end. Watch video for more reference.
    Other bugs on the way! .
    Regards,
    Sathish.

    Hmm, I have different wallpapers (one of my photo's for my lock screen and and just plain black for my home screen) and mine still does not do that.
    Try setting them both to something different, but simple - say different colors of one of the default screens.  Or just try one any pair of the default screens instead of your own custom pictures.  Does it still do it?  I cannot seem to get my iPhone to duplicate that no matter what I try with it.
    You can submit the info to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html  but try and give them as much details as you can, of anything you have tried that either does not change the abnormal behaviour or that does fix it.

  • My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

    Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
