Run Keychain Access.app and, in the keychain menu, top left on your screen, under Preferences, click "Show status in menu bar"
When you do this, a lock will appear as the leftmost item in the menu bar on the right side of your screen.
Now, when you wish to lock the screen, simply click the lock icon and select "Lock Screen"
It's that easy.

  • Help a newbie.....How to lock screen after suspend-to-ram????

    Hello all,
    First of all, Arch is awesome.  I love the speed, stability, and the documentation.  I was actually surprised that I was able to get everything working on my laptop with just reading the wikis and the forums.....well everything but one small issue.
    My laptop suspends perfectlly, but when it resumes it takes me to my desktop without prompting for a password.  I would like for my session to be automatically locked and then prompt for a password before if could be used.  Is this possible?  If so, how do I enable this?
    My previous experience with Linux has been limited to kubuntu.  I was able to change this setting in the power management icon on the system tray.  This option is not availibe on the icon or in the battery/power section in the kcontrol system (at least not that I can find).  Can someone please point me in the right direction to add this option.
    Sorry if this has been discused before.  I searched, but did not find any relevent posts.
    I am using Duke with KDE.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks for the replay pauldonnelly.
    It does work if I manually lock the screen (with either Ctrl-Alt-L or from KMenu), but I was hoping there was a way for the screen to automatically lock when the lid is closed.
    Any of suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • [XFCE4] How to lock screen before going to standby?

    Hello,
    I use the "standby" button in the logout menu of XFCE. However when I come back from standby I'm not getting prompted for a password. I looked at all the configuration menu but don't find the option.
    Is there an easy way to force xlock before going to standby or after coming back from standby?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is no a Group Policy to lock the Screen Resolution, but you may try to )disable the Control Panel/Display component which will disable changing any display options, including the Screen Resolution.
    Open the Group Policy editor and navigate to User Configuration/Administrative templates/Control Panel/Display. Enable the Disable the Display Control panel policy.
    When this component is opened, it will show the "Some items have been disabled by the Administrator".

  • Locked screen music controls doesn't want to work for 'remote', Why?

    When the screen is locked and you double tap on the home button, basic music options display, it's the top dar of the music app. This function works perfectly with the music app but the remote app by apple to control iTunes doesn't seem to be compatible, it seems stupid but possible. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything, and that its not just me and my iPad.
    Thanks

    I know how the remote app works and how the locked screen works .But that's exactly what I said, the remote app will not control anything on the iPad. It only controls the iTunes library on your computer.
    it wouldn't matter if you could get to the remote app with screen locked - even though you cant because it will not control the Music app on the iPad.

  • How do i make iphone keep alerting me when view in lock screen is de-activated?

    Hi, so i set all alerts to not show on the lock screen- (this way when a text comes in people around me cant see who its from).........but the issue with that method is that it only reminds you once so if you miss the notification and you have to keep checking the phone for messages/emails if you happen to miss the initial notification.....i cant seem to figure out how to change it so it keeps alerting me that i have messages while the view in lock screen is DE-activated

    Do you have Alert Style set to Alerts rather than Banners?  (Only Alerts stay on screen until you take action.)

    The "lock screen button" locks the phone. It will not take you back to the home screen. Thus the difference in the nomenclature for the "HOME" button and the "LOCK" button...

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.
    Karen

  • HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

    HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
    When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
    If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
    Help!

    That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

    You don't, unless you disable the Camera app entirely.
    It's such a nuisance...
    Really, how so?
    I don't want people going into my photos or my iphone!!
    If you add a passcode to your iPhone as you should, then there's no way they can see anything in your iPhone.  Of course, if the passcode is set but not enough time has elapsed that's different -- but that has nothing to do with this icon.
