Cannot lock screen even with AssistiveTouch

After restoring my iPhone 5s from backup
1. Pressing power button to lock screen no longer works (nothing happens), but holding it down to Power Off still works.
2. Tried enabling AssistiveTouch, but pressing Device->Lock Screen does nothing (all other AssistiveTouch functions fully work), which rules out hardware issue.
3. Phone no longer auto-locks (screen will not turn off until battery dies).
Currently the only solution I can think of is to Restore to factory defaults, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
IOS 8.2

Have you tried restarting your device? Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time until the Apple appears. Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays see if the issue is resolved.
Cheers,

No camera icon on lock screen even with double click

I have upgraded to ios5 and although there were a few glitches (deleted all my apps) it all seems to work, EXCEPT there is no camera icon on the lock screen. Yes I've tried double tapping the home button. It only opens up the Music controls. I tried resetting the iPad but that didn't work. I could try to re-install ios5 but I don't know how to do that...back to iTunes and do a restore? Will I lose all my apps again?

Interesting. I wondered if this was the case and couldn't find any documentation to that effect. I also saw from some iPad owners who claimed they had that icon, although maybe I'm wondering if they were confusing the Picture Frame icon. iPod users are also saying they have it on their screen. Where are you finding this documentation that it's not available?
There is never any list of everything that is NOT avaiable. However, the documentation about the camera improvements for the iOS5 update tells what IS available:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1456 states, in part:
Double click the home button when device is asleep to bring up a camera shortcut on iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (4th generation)
iPad is absent from the list, so Apple is not promising the camera shortcut on iPad.

Cannot Adjust Screen Brightness with Fn Keys on New L540 (8.1 x64)

Hello everyone. I just purchased a new L540 with Windows 8.1 x64 on it and have run into a problem I'm seeing is apparently common. While my other Fn keys work as intended, I cannot adjust screen brightness with them. Pressing the buttons just does nothing and the laptop is running at full brightness at all times, even when on the battery. I have installed the latest Power Management Driver and from what I can tell, there is no version of the Power Management Software for anything newer than Windows 7. I also have installed the latest Hotkey driver (in fact, I've installed all the latest drivers for this machine.) I read in another thread that this can be caused by the latest HD Graphics driver from Intel but I actually can't even install that driver (says my system is not supported) so I am still using the latest Lenovo provided driver.
Can anyone please assist with this? I want to be able to quickly adjust screen brightness when on battery but I can't do that at present. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the same problem with my L540. It started with the update of the BIOS to version 1.65. Because I didn't find a solution, I went back to BIOS version 1.64, where all the brightness options are there and work properly.
You can download older versions. When on the page with the new drivers (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS037285) go to BIOS Driver 1.65, then choose "learn more". At the end of the following page you'll see all the older versions.
That you can install version 1.64, you have to change the "Secure RollBack Prevention" Option in the BIOS: Restart the Computer. When you see the option "To interrupt normal startup, press Enter", press Enter. Press once again Enter. Press F1 to enter the BIOS Setup Utility. Choose "Security" -> then "UEFI Bios Update Option" -> then "Secure RollBack Prevention". Change this option to "Disabled". Then press F10 to save configuration changes and exit.
After restarting Windows you can install BIOS 1.64.
Another possibility is to wait for the next BIOS version ....

Why does siri starts in the locked screen even if i don't allow it in the restrictions??

Why does siri starts in the locked screen even if i don't allow it in the restrictions? if a thief got my phone he can hold 3 sec the home button and with siri he can call and do what every he wants..

Thanks, you're my hero! :-)
The problem wasn't about the Restricitions because they are really irrelevant. The Problem was that i didn't had this Option to turn Siri off in the Touch ID & Passcode-Menu because i had to activate Siri first.
Here ist the way to deactivate Siri in the locked Screen:
[1] Settings > General > Siri > turn Siri on
[2] Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > ALLOW ACCESS WHEN LOCKED > turn Siri off

I wanted to keep my locked screen display with the time and date from turning off is that possible

So I enjoy my locked screen display with my chosen picture because it has the time displayed nice and big and its a cool nightlight but the locked screen display/wallpaper/time with date always goes black after 13ish seconds of locking it is there no way to let the locked screen stay on while charging? because it is awesome if it could stay on as a nightlight also so i dont have to press the lock button to see what time because the normal display is ugly am I just being super picky or am I not the only one who agrees or maybe it does exist im just stupid please respond when you can also thanks for reading much appreciated.

Again, there is NO WAY to do what you asked: display the time constantly.
I have a clock app that displays the time constantly on my iPad. I use it as a bedside clock. Many clock apps have the ability to disable autolock just within that app. Whether there is one that lets you pick your own background, I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if there were, based on the number of clock apps out there. While what I'm suggestion is not precisely what the OP asked (display the system lock screen), it seems it might be a possible workaround.

Help! Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week, and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password.

Help! Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week and the shop didn't update it back to Mavricks which I had previously done...and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password entered. It just spins like I'm logging in and then goes back to the user log in screen. I did the process where I restarted and pressed control S and created a new user and password, but once created same issue and can't get passed that screen.
Super frustrated and any help is appreciated!

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Why is location arrow on status bar every time i open lock screen even when nothing running

why is location arrow on status bar every time i open lock screen even when nothing running

Something is using location services...
Go to Settings>Privacy>Location Services. You can see what, if anything, is currently using location services, and what has used it within the last 24 hours.
An open location services arrow means there is a geo-fenced reminder set.

Locked Screen Banner with contact information

Is there a way to add a banner with my contact info to the screen when my phone is locked?
When I lock my phone for security purposes, I would like to add a banner that has my contact information just in case I lose my phone and a good Samaritan wants to contact me to return it.

I use this app, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.appventive.ExecAssist.ad&feature=search_result
It allows for a contact phone number on the lock screen if phone is lost.

Cannot lock screen any more

I have a MBP that is about 3 months old - loaded to the gills (either top dual core CPU or the one below, 4 GB RAM, 17", etc).
I installed the latest firmware that came out about a week ago.
Not sure the issues that already exist (first key not being recognized, issues out of sleep) are any better but now I have a new one. I have the padlock up on my bar on top (not sure what that is called - I am new to the Mac world). I was able to click 'lock screen' when I walked away from the PC and it would lock - screen save and it required a password to come out of. I did not have the screensaver to require password when it came on on its own. This always worked. Now I hit lock screen and it goes to screen saver but it does not require a password to come out
Any suggestions?

The padlock on the menu bar is from Keychain Access, which is found in the Applications -> Utilities folder of your computer. Open this program, and from the Preferences section you can choose to have the padlock in the menu bar or not. I turned it on on my 10.5.2 MBP, and when I chose lock screen, it immediately blacked the screen, and keyboard or mouse required a password. Screensaver did not cause screen to lock, which is the behavior you mentioned before.
You may want to open Keychain Access and check the preferences, and possibly the keychain access for your account. It appears something has become corrupt which might be keeping the screen lock from functioning. As mentioned above, it works fine on my machine running Leopard.

Yosemite cannot boot (Freezes) even with Clean Install

Macbook Pro 15" was normal in the normal, but I updated Samsung Kies and it told me the restart, after that I cannot boot up Yosemite 10.10.2 at all
What I've done:
1. I can access Target Mode with my iMac, copied my files with no problem. I used my imac to verify both MBP HDD and Bootcamp and even try repairing, it showed that there was no fault at MBP in the first place.
2. I can enter Safe Mode, I tried updating the OSX to 10.10.3 and still does not work
3. Bootcamp windows got bluescreen, removed it still doesn't help.
4. I tried install a Clean Install, and still doesn't work, (Installed through SD Card)
5. It seems now I can only do ie., continue my update, continue my new install through safe mode ONLY
I never turned on Filevault in the first place.
At this point I'm not so sure, if I can still access through Target Mode, hopefully it should mean that my hard disk isn't broken.
I am out of ideas... please help
Ps. at normal Start up from the progress bar sometimes the screen stutters and showed me a pixelated screen and then switched back to the progress bar after a minute the loading circle appears and the looping appeared overlapped and thickens

Locking Screen Resolution with KVM

I have a MacBook Pro 15" running 10.4.8. I have a Iogear DVI KVM attached to the DVI port. The monitor attached to the KVM is a Gateway FPD2485W 24" LCD with optimal resolution of 1920x1200. The Mac performs wonderfully at this resolution.
The problem I have is that when I switch away from the Mac with the KVM for more than a moment and then switch back, the Mac reverts to 1024x768 with a "KVM Monitor" profile in the Display Prefs. If I press "Detect Displays" after switching back, it once again properly recognizes my Gateway and then switches to the correct 1920x1200 resolution.
Is there any fix for this? Is there any way to "lock" the DVI port resolution somehow, or maybe to modify the "KVM Monitor" profile so it allows 1920x1200 resolution as well? Any other options to fix this? It is annoying to have to have the Mac detect the monitor and maximize my windows every time I switch back to it.
Any help is appreciated!
T.

I'm sorry, I've been investigating this as well. I use an ioGear KVM with VGA, the one that's shaped like the Mac mini I use it with. It has gotten worse. I find that I simply have to turn off sleep altogether, or else I find I'm switching to a blank screen on the mini. Sometimes I solved the problem by touching the sleep button and then waking it up. It seems to be in a forgetful coma.
Other irritations: if I'm away from the mini for a while, when I go back, there is the Bluetooth "wizard," looking for the USB keyboard and mouse. When I'm running Windows in Parallels, the problem is worse, freezing up Windows.
By turning off sleep, I've ameliorated the problem greatly. But I still will return to, in my case, not a 1280x1024 screen, but 640 x 480. Then it blacks out, and when it returns with my default setting, windows are only half as high: the desktop may be 1280x1024, but Safari looks like 1280x512. Grr.

Help: Cannot startup, not even with system discs

My MacBook (Intel, 10.4.11, no peripherals attached) cannot startup.
If I press the power button (either without pressing any other key, or press and hold 'shift', 'command-v', or 'command-s'):
- there is a regular startup chime
- a blank grey screen shows
- I hear repeating faint clicks from inside the MacBook
- no further progress from there on (waited 10 minutes)
If I press power button and quickly insert the Mac OS X system disc (either without pressing any other key, or press and hold 'c', or 'd'):
- there is a regular startup chime
- the disc spins up
- a grey screen shows a blinking file folder with a question mark
- no further progress from there on (waited 3 minutes)
I have tried the following without success:
- make sure RAM and hard drive are properly seated by taking them out and putting them in again.
- reset SMC
The last thing I was doing before this problem:
- I left the MacBook while it was burning a data DVD using Toast
- When I came back 2 hours later, the bottom part of screen shows a gear wheel spinning. I also saw a progress bar with Toast. I cannot eject the DVD or get any response by pressing any key including force quit keys.
- I pressed the power button to force shut down.
- I pressed the power button to start up. I held the trackpad button and the DVD ejected but did not start up from there on.
- I cannot start up the MacBook since then.

The HD is so messed up that it messes with normal booting.
Your best bet other than Apple Service is to disconnect the HD ribbon cable, insert the Install disk, hold Option key down on startup, select DVD to boot from, after it boots, recoonect the ribbon cable to the HD, then "Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

IPhone 6 dust behind the screen even with protection

Good evening,
Only 10 days after I bought my new iPhone 6 - Gray space - 16 GB, with a tempered glass protection (perfectly set, no bubbles, no dust between the tempered glass protection and the iPhone screen), plus a plastic cover around the phone, I realised, this afternoon that a particle of dust appeared all of a sudden on the middle of the screen, about 5mm long... impossible to remove....
As it can not appear between the tempered protection and the screen after 10 days (in my opinion), I can imagine that it is below the iPhone 6 screen, and it seems like it already happen to other iPhone 6 users...
Any tips to remove this dust ?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the help...
How to properly remove the protection without making any damages to the phone? Cause this is a new protection and the glue must be very sticky to the screen...
How to know the area of warranty ? As I am travelling a lot, it is very difficult for me to return to the store where I bought my iPhone 6... But the phone seller told me that the warranty was by zone (here is south east asia), and it depends on a number behind the phone... Is that true? Will they change the phone directly if the dust is under the screen, or will I have to wait few days before picking up my new phone?
Thank you

6 GB ram and hard-freezes & blue-screen. even with new drive

I'm on Vista 64 SP and have the X-Fi Platinum. Just upgraded to 6 GB ram from being on 2 GB previously, and now I consistently get hard freezes and blue-screens any time I attempt to do anything half-way audio intensive (try play a game or listen to some music in winamp). I'm on the latest march drivers from creative. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the creative drivers all together. Still no luck.
I know that it's the X-Fi causing it too because if I disable the card in the device manager and use my usb headphones instead i get *no* lockups or blue screens whatsoever. As soon as i reenable the card i get lockups again.
Does anyone have any suggestions or is this still a case of poor 64-bit code from creative

i'm pretty sure its not the ram. i ran ram tests, and close to maxed out my physical ram usage by loading large applications, and have spent many hours now using the ram with the x-fi disabled with no problems.
looks like someone else is having the same problem with the new drivers. see my reply to their thread:
