Home screen locked because of storage popup

I repeatedly receive "not enough icloud storage" popups and simply ignore them (I hit the cancel button on the popup so the popup disappears).
Somehow this popup occurred after the ipad became locked. Now I cannot access the screen below the popup to "slide to unlock" or to "slide to turn power off". I continuously hit the cancel or settings button on the popup but nothing happens. I'm assuming the popup will not work because the screen is locked, but the screen buttons cannnot work because the popup is in the way!
I went online to iCloud and reset my photo stream so I can have available storage but the iPad is still giving me the same problem.
I downloaded iCloud to my PC so I can manage my storage there but when I try to log on, it tells me there was a server error.
What is going on and what can I do? I do not have warranty because the iPad was a gift for me (they bought it used with just one month warranty left which expired).
Thanks!

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

Disable Home Screen Lock

How do I Disable the home screen lock on my Touch 9800? In the Security settings > Password the lock icon is Enabled and can not be disabled! The only options are lock after 1, 2, 5, or 10 minutes. Is there a way to disable the lock feature?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you are on BES, it may be forced by your BES Admins...you'd need to talk to them to see about changing it.
If you have activated Encryption/Content Protection, then the password is required to support that. You'd have to disable that in order to be allowed to also disable the password.
Good luck and let us know!

How do i get my ipod 5 unlock? i cant get past the home screen lock (home screen lock is what i need unlocked) plz help

how do i get my ipod 5 unlocked from the homescreen? plz help

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

IPads home screen locked magnified

My iPad has been working fine for weeks and then about 20 minutes ago I opened it up to do some work and as soon as I typed in my pass code the entire screen became magnified. I am on the home screen right now and the icons are so large that only 4 of them (Youtube, Settings, Photos, and Contacts) can fit on the screen at one time. I have not installed anything today or done any activities out of the ordinary.
I have tried a power button reset and no luck. Tried a Home button + power button reset and that also failed. Any suggestions?

Or... +"If Zoom is on and you want to zoom out or in, double-tap using three fingers."+ From this Apple doc:

IPhone Home Screen Lock Display

Hey guys can someone tell me how can I do this thing on my iphone4? I just saw her lock screen looked like this. When someone texted him the name and message pops up along with the time and the senders picture on the side. Please please please tell me?

I've never seen this before. I don't believe there is a legitimate way to do that on the iPhone.

When i play certain games it shuts out of it and goes to the home screen and because of this problem i cannot play the games that i have purchased. what should i do?

especially for eenies at war and worms armegedon

It's too late now to worry about not having backed up. You have to restore the iPad or .....
A. You can have a device that still has all of the photos on it but you can't get to them because the device doesn't work
or.....
B. You can restore, lose the photos and have a functioning device again.

My Iphone is on, but home and lock buttons are completely unresponsive. I can swipe the screen but i cannot do anything else. help me please :(

I was jus trying to download a few new apps when it said I had no storage left, so i went to delete some things, and after i was done, i tried to press the home button to go home. It didn't work, but yet if I clicked it the 3 times it would invert my colors still. I then tried to lock my phone or turn it off and neither worked.
I can still swipe on the settings screen but nothing else. The AssistiveTouch won't even take me back to my home screen. HELP

Try holding the Home and Power button together for at least 15 seconds or until the Apple logo comes on. Then let go and wait for the phone to reset and restart. This will take a few minutes and you will not lose any data.
If this does not work put your phone in recovery mode and connect it to iTunes. Then restore the phone to factory settings and then restore from backup. This will wipe your settings and data but if you have made a recent backup it should not be a lot.

HT5858 i have an iPhone 4s, when I tried to use control center to skip songs ( or signs) or when my phone is locked, i double press the home screen, i also can't skip songs. what's going on?

I am having the same problem with my Iphone 4. After update the phone will not control audio from the control center (Friend with Iphone 4S is having same issue). Tried to reset phone and it started working "once". Next time I tried to use the control center it didn't work again. Their needs to be some kind of a fix for this?

Is there a Siri command to get to the home screen from the lock screen?

Here is the situation - an elderly friend of mine (94 years old) was in a panic because there were text messages on the lock screen and try as he might he could not "slide to open."
He has no passcode set.
Anyway, I had him try this and it worked:
1. Use Siri to "open calendar."
2. After it opened, press the Home button to get to the home screen.
That way he was able to get in.
Is there a Siri command to go directly to the Home Screen from the lock screen? I tried various things I could think of, but couldn't figure out anything that worked.
What would be best is being able to bypass the lock screen altogether. I have another elderly friend who is blind and it is a source of constant confusion for him.
As for voiceover - he is finding it impossible to figure out. I can see, and I am also finding it impossible to figure out. We tried to use it to get into the TED app and select, play and stop videos and all sorts of weird UI elements starting popping up and it was frustrating him so we turned voiceover off. But that's for another discussion thread.
In the meantime, is there an easy way to get home if somebody is having trouble sliding?
Thanks,
doug

I think the more "assistive" features are turned on the harder it is for both my sighted and blind friend to use.
Yes, that can sometimes be true.
Unless your older but sighted friend has difficulty with fine motor movements, I suspect that the slide to open is a matter of practice. If you can convice your friend that they are capable of learning it and get them to work with it a bit that might help. I've found that older learners can become frustrated very quickly with technology. They either have themselves convinced they can't learn technolgy or that get annoyed because iPhones are supposed to be "intuative". The challenge is getting them to feel okay about being a beginner at something.
You're a good friend to take on this teaching task.
Best of luck.

HT201263 Locked home screen

My 15yr genius son has forgotten his screen lock code. I can not change his find my phone settings and have tried everything even down to a complete software download can someone help please

Try this:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPhone to your computer and then launch iTunes.
3. Turn your iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone).
4. Then, hold down the sleep/wake button and home button together for EXACTLY 10 SECONDS, then release the sleep/wake button.
5. Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected. When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black. Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode.
6. Hit the OK message that should popup to restore your phone. Restore as "New".

Frozen locked screen stating Not Enough Storage

Ipod touch is on a locked screen stating Not Enough Storage. It cannot be shut off and is not acknowledged when I attach to computer

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Lock Screen vs. Home Screen wallpaper (iPad 3 with iOS7)

Please help me understand wallpaper difference for the lock screen and the home screen. While testing the colors and brightness, I changed my personal wallpaper for one of the Apple wallpapers. Then I lost my photo. AppleCare said it was because I had changed the wallpaper on the lock screen! How is that possible when the screen is locked??
TYIA...Angela

Thanks very much Johnathan. I feel like an idiot. It works great.

Iphone lock screen and home screen...

hi apple,
we apple users are worried about the lock and home screen of iphone, people breakjail or try to breakjail their iphone because it lacks some features of high-tech of android phones,please apple dont let us drop apple for android,work on the lock screen and home screen whereby it can look like jailbreaking...thanks.

Android isn't high-tech. Android is nothing but a poor copy of Apple's UI as with Windows being a poor copy of Apple's computer GUI.
As with Windows on a computer, Android is a swiss cheese for security mobile OS not to mention being a fragmented mess that will only get worse when Apple's patents are enforced. Jailbreaking or hacking iOS removes all the built-in security making it as insecure as Android.
