Changing lock screen?

I know this can be done because many people have shown their custom lock screens, but how do you do it? I know where to find the images in settings, but how do you get new images in that directory?

Hi MyMac8MyPC,
You can change the wallpaper from Settings>Wallpaper.
If you only see the default Wallpaper options, sync photos to the iPod touch, save photos, or take a screen shot.
The iPod touch User Guide will walk you through syncing photos and saving photos.

    3. I deleted the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData file and folder

    Now, Please tell me what should I do, Thanks.

    Hi,
    First of all, please run the command slmgr.vbs /dlv
    After that, check the License status if it is licensed.
    Is there any error message when you couldn't change lock background or this option just grey out?

  • Cannot change lock screen, start screen and account picture

    I cannot change my lock screen, start screen and account picture on my windows 8 pro. my windows 8 pro is activated please please help me....

    Hi,
    As you said,your system was activated.
    So,I think this problem occurs when a required Registry key is missing in Windows 8. It might be deleted accidentally or intentionally by the user or it might be deleted by a 3rd party software.
    I suggest you refer to the following article to see if the issue was resolved.

  • Change Lock Screen in Nokia X3-02

    Hey there, is it possible to change the locking screen of nokia X3-02? it is really annoying! i heard that by changing to some themes it also changes the locking screen, but i like the default theme i just wanted to change the horrible locking screen!
    Is it possible? at least it should be!

    Check this software : carbide.ui
    http://www.developer.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/i​d/bb173537-4e67-496f-9967-50917d5cfc47/S60_Theme_S​...
    It should help you. By default, the standard theme is loaded. But you just need to change
    one picture (ie the lockscreen), and export the whole thing in nth.file.
    Then, just transfer the file in your cellphone, and it should work. At least, it did for me.
    Here's a better illustration (see attachment)
    If you have any question, you're welcome.

  • 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.

  • Cannot change lock screen pin or to swipe

    Hi,
    I've just installed an app for my company wifi which requires the phone to have a lock screen. I chose a swipe pattern initially. After installation I wanted to change the pattern but the phone keeps asking me to enter the initial swipe pattern repeatedly. It recognizes the correct pattern but keeps asking me for the pattern for some reason.
    I used the Android device manager to change it to a pin number and now Im stuck with a pin number only, ie I cannot change it to swipe. I also cannot disable the screen lock as well.
    Please help. My phone is a Lenovo S90
    Rgds.

    Hi unicorn,
    I think I know what is the issue here. Whenever I setup the MS Exchange on my phone, there is a need to use PIN (6 characters) as a security. Swipe is no longer an option.
    This is the same for all Android phones as this is a security feature setup by your company's Exchange server and in order for your mails to go into your phone there is a need to setup PIN (6 characters min or text).
    Let me know =)

  • Cannot change lock screen wallpaper after 4.4.2 update to Xperia Z1

    So I updated via PCC to 4.4.2 (14.3.A.0.681) and now the lock screen wallpaper is stuck to the "Air" theme wallpaper. Regardless of theme change or attempting to select custom wallapaper, the lock screen wallpaper does not change. I've tried going through the settings menu, the Album app, and the Photos app, but none of them can change the wallpaper. I've tried clearing all data from the lock screen app, force-stopping it, but no luck. Multiple restarts do not help.
    Solved!

  • IOS 7 change lock screen language

    My kid changed her keyboard language to French, set her pass code, and then set it back to English (I have no idea why). Now she can't enter her passcode on the lock screen because she used french special characters in it. Does anyone know how to change the lock screen language in iOS 7 at the lock screen itself? Any and all help is appreciated.

    If you can, back up or copy all your phones photos, files etc. to your computer. Then use iTunes on your computer to Restore the software on your phone. Here's a link to describe that:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If the restore does not solve the problem have a technician examine your phone. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • HP laptop won't let me change lock screen or account picture

    I went to change my pictures for the lock screen and the account and everytime I try to change it, it gives me a message saying "Account/Lock screen picture error. Setting the account/lock screen failed. Please try again." I'll try to put the default pictures just to see if that would work and no matter what I do, it will not change. It's so aggravating. What can I do?

    Hi,
    Thank you for providing the above information.
    To ensure the fault behind the error is not with Windows, I'd recommend doing a system refresh to start. Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
    And just as reference when trying to set the lock/account screen afterwards, here are two Microsoft documents:
        See pictures on the desktop, Start, and the lock screen
        Personalize your PC
    I hope this helps, let me know how it goes.
    Thanks.

  • Change lock screen pattern

    Hi, I have an iPhone 4 and currently I have a lock code set on the device. I'd like to know if it's possible to change the style to something more secure like a combination lock, as seen on some other smart devices, rather than having a typical dial pad?

    There is a way to set a more secure Passcode for the iPhone but it's not what your thinking.
    Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Simple Passcode > Off
    This will allow you to set a Passcode with letters, numbers and symbols
    Hope that helps

  • Changed locked screen and home screen (screensaver)

    I changed the appearance of my home screen on my iPad for kicks and just because the option was there after the IOS 6 update.
    Now, or rather twenty minutes after I changed it,I want to change it back to what it was-but I can not seem to find that option.
    *** and Htf do I fix this?
    Thanks in advance to any and all with the solution.

    You can change the background image via Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper - is that what you mean ?

  • Windows 8.1 lock screen

    Hi there,
    I would like to ask about lock screen. Normally, when I turn the screen off using function key, it will lock the screen and when I press any key, windows will ask for authentication. But after receive some updates, I cannot not do this anymore. The screen
    will turn on and go directly into the screen without asking any passwords so I would like to ask how to lock the screen automatically when I turn the screen off.
    Thank you for your help

    How to set an image to windows lock screen and desktop background for windows store app in c#?
    if changing lock screen is available in windows store C# how about changing the desktop background using Windows store C#?

    Hi icce cage,
    To change the Windows lock screen we can use this API:
    LockScreen class with set image methods.
    To change the desktop background, it is not possible as I know.
