Can I connect a wired keyboard to my iPhone 5S while stuck on the lock screen? (Need answers ASAP)
My iPhone's screen is unusable/broken on the right side of it so I can't enter the passcode on it and I can't access the Notification Center or the Control Center. Touch ID and Siri is disabled until I can enter the passcode and iTunes won't let me back it up until I enter the passcode. I have a replacement iPhone 5S here, but I want to restore it with the backup so I don't lose all of my stuff.
I was wondering if anyone knows if I can connect a wired keyboard to my iPhone while on the lock screen before I go and spend the money on one?
I was looking at something like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Belkin-B2B115-Wired-Keyboard-for-Apple-iPad-with-Light ning-Connector/35255242
Unless anyone knows anything else I can try?
Are you serious... only bluetooth keyboards? Even if the keyboard has the lightning connector? This supposedly works on the iPhone: http://store.griffintechnology.com/wired-keyboard-for-ios-devices

I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?
If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My MacBook is frozen and I'm stuck on the lock screen so I can't enter my passcode. What do I do?
Turn the MBP off by holding the power key for 10+ seconds.
Reset the SMC and the NVRAM:

Can you have more than one alert at a time show up on the lock screen?
When i recieve a new message, this shows up as an alert on the lock screen when my phone is locked, as its supposed to. However, if a new alert comes through before i open the previous one, only the most recent one will appear on the lock screen. Is there anyway to set it so multiple messages can be displayed on the lock screen at once?
Yes, you may have more than one "single" subscription, with the photography special counting as a single

I just tried to update my iPhone 4 to 7.1 and for some strange reason the phone wouldn't update then wanted me to restore it... (Figures!) But my lock button no longer works so holding the home button and the lock button is a option I have to rule out. I have no way to repair my phone myself. What can I do?
Hello Edward
Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

Please help!
The SMC Reset is for power related issues which you don't have.
The Gray Screen issue occurs if there is a incompatible or outdated third party at boot kernel extension file or if there is a corruption in one of the files of OS X itself.
You can bypass the kext files at boot by holding the Shift Key down while booting the machine, this will hopefully allow you to get in and backup users files off the machine first.
The best method to quickly fix Gray Screen issues is simply to #8 Reinstall Just OS X method, that way it kicks out any and all at boot kext files and gives a new copy of OS X itself, without touching most other programs or your files.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
You will need to Software Update fully until clear afterwards to bring your security and Apple programs up to date, then evaluate which third party programs are no longer working (no at boot kext files) and seeing if there is a update for them that is compatible with your latest OS X verison before reinstalling them. -
Can I connect an external keyboard to my iPhone?
I used it on my Newton whenever I had to write more than some words. It speeded writing up by 20.
I suppose there's no way to connect them by now. Where could we ask for something like this?
PeterYou're right that's not supported, we'll have to wait for 3.0 and see if it brings some changes.

Yes can someone please HELP!!
Try plugging it up to your computer and launching iTunes and either resetting it to factory settings or resetting to last sync. Hopefully it just noticing it's plugged up to iTunes will fix it. This happened to my friend once and all she had to do was plug it into her computer and that fixed it.

Nothing has worked... I tried clicking the home button over and over. Changing the settings on iTunes..
In iTunes, locate the name of your iPhone under DEVICES. This opens a "Summary" tab; scroll down until you see a header called "Options." Click on Configure Universal Access. Then deselect Zoom.

My iPhone 5c is frozen on the lock screen with a text message on it. When I try and swipe the screen it sticks about halfway through the swipe. What do I do?
A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.
