Can I lock the screen rotation of my itouch?

It's 2 years old so maybe 2nd gen? What a pain the auto rotation is. I just got an iPad and finally some logical sense! No more screen spinning around -- so is there a way to do this with my itouch?

3G and 4G iPods have what is known as known orientation lock, but this feature is not available for the 2G iPod touch.
See this article to help you determine what generation your iPod Touch is.

  • Can't lock the screen anymore with a password

    I can't lock the screen anymore since I installed Mavericks. I have assigned a password to the screensaver in the system preferences, but when I activate the screensaver on my iMac 8,1 it does not ask for the password when I wake it up from sleep. I have checked the option in the security preferences that the Mac should ask for a password immediately.
    Any idea how the enable the password?

    Okay, the problem is solved. I don't really know how - I just restarted the mac several times and now it works.

  • Can I lock the screen on my iPod nano

    Can I lock the screen on my iPod nano

    if it is a 7th gen (newest one) you can press the lock button on top left of pod to turn the screen blank... sadly there is no password lock function. However on settings, if you are used to an iPod touch swipe lock screen, you can set a clock as a lock screen, which can be useful. hope this helps

  • HT4528 how do i stop my iphone 4 from doing random commands while talking on calls via the touch screen? Can i lock the screen while talking?

    how do i stop my iphone 4 from doing random commands while talking on calls via the touch screen? Can i lock the screen while talking?

    The iPhone has a proximity sensor located on the top of the phone near the earphone speaker that is supposed to automatically turn off the screen when it is close to your face while on a call, to prevent that very thing from happening.  If your phone isn't doing that, try cleaning your screen.  Also, if you put a screen protector on your phone made for a different model it may lack the cut-out that is supposed to keep it from blocking the sensor.  Try removing your screen protector to see if that helps.  If it does, get another screen protector.

  • How can I lock the screen on ipod nano 7th gen?

    How can I lock the ipod nano 7th gen? Just pressing the top button doesnt cut it as it still starts to play music or pauses or change volume with the slightest knock im in 2 minds to take it back if you cant lock it as ive only had it 4 days and already found this a huge problem!

    Hi! I really couldn't find no way to lock the screen, except pressing the top button (what only cancel any touch you do in the screen).
    That's an old discussion about (failure vs feature), but I wonder about if you are running, you can let the screen locked and still change or pause the song by pressing the buttons on the side of the iPod)
    hope I could help you

  • How can you lock the screen on iPhone in iOS 7 while talking on the phone?

    I am struggling to figure out how to lock the screen of my iPhone 5 during a phone call. In iOS 6, I was able to push the top "on/off" button to lock the screen. In iOS 7, I am able to do this ONLY while using the speakerphone. If I push this button while talking on the phone regularly or using a headphone, it ends the call rather than locking the screen.
    I have found that I am muting calls and disconnecting calls accidentially with my "face" while holding the phone b/c the screen is so sensitive. Does anyone know a way around this?

    I dont know of a way round this, but im having the same issue of puttig people on hold when putting the phone up to my ear.
    This was an issue with the iphone 4 years ago and apple had to do an update to cure it

  • How can I lock the screen on RMBP allowing applications to work.

    I'm using my RMBP at work, when I go off to get lunch or any other time I'm out of my office for several minutes I want to be able to lock my screen.  I want downloads in the background, or renderings to keep working while it's locked, but the only thing I've been able to find is to shut the lid, which puts it to sleep...
    Control, Shift, Power turns the screen off, but any press of a key wakes it back up.  I'm assuming I'd have to pass code lock the computer (I don't want to have to key in the pass code every time I open the lid, but I understand if I did)... how can I make it go to a password protected lock screen with out going to sleep.
    In windows its very easy, window key + L, lock screen.  Can I duplicate this functionality on a Mac?

    Open system preferences and go to "Desktop & Screen Saver"
    Select the "Screen Saver" tab, select a screen saver and then select the "Hot Corners..." button.  You will be able to set hot corners that will start the saver when you move the mouse cursor to that location.
    After you have setup the screen saver, got back to the system preferences top menu and select "Security & Privacy".  You can change the setting to require your password to unlock the screen after the screen saver starts.

  • Hi, I was recently on facebook and chatting with a friend. My iphone decided to freeze and now my iphone won't turn off or return home. I can still lock the screen, but when i turn it back on it just goes to the frozen faceboko app.

    As I said, It's now frozen and I cannot use my iphone basically. WHen I turn it back on, it goes to the facebook screen. It doesnt go the the lock screen first. I've tried to shut it off but thats kinda hard because my lock button is broken. Please Help!

    You need to reset the phone, but that requires a functioning on/off (lock) button.  Time to visit Apple.

  • Can you lock touch screen when watching videos!??

    Can you lock the screen so it doesn't become a touch screen when watching videos!??
    Just got new ipod (7th gen) and this driving me crazy that I think I'm going to continue to use my older one unless there is a solution out there. I watch tv shows while commuting and while walking here or there I have to 'palm' the ipod or walk with it at my side, and the problem is that since the touch screen is sooooo sensitive I keep fwding/rewinding/swiping the screen to something else, and then to get back to that part in the video is a pain because unlike the older ipod you can just fwd a few secs, this one jumps minutes because it's so sensitive. PLEASE tell me there's a way to lock it from accidently touching it!

    No - there is no such switch on the iPad - the switches control volume, muting, screen rotation, and the home button itself.
    You could place it behind a screen of some sort so touching the outer screen won't affect the iPad screen - I've seen ads for 'presentation kiosk' type devices for the iPad that allow this, although I'm not sure how practical they would be in the backseat of a car.

    So does this mean that I cannot have rotation lock off and the mute function off at the same time? In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?

    In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?
    Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.
    Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: choose what you like the Side Switch to function as.

  • The screen rotation is locked... not sure how to get that unlocked?!

    Hello, the screen rotation is locked on my ipod touch. I have no idea how it got that way and can not find how to turn it off.  Please help!

    Double click on the home button to open the multitask bar, swipe to the right until you see the play controls for music, right next to it is the Orientaion lock icon. Tap on it to disable it, close the multitask bar again by clicking the home button.

  • Why can't I lock the screen in landscape?

    When watching a movie I can't get the screen to lock in landscape position. Why not?

    Use the screen rotation lock (the switch next to the volume control). See the iPad manual at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf for details.
