HT201412 my screen is locked and it wont change

my screen is locked and it wont change or swtich off.

What shows on the screen ?
Depending upon what is on the screen, have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Hey 1966Gt6,
    I found an article that goes over what to do if you've forgotten or can't remember your passcode. Check it out here:

  • My ipods screen is locked and dnt have a code

    screen is locked and have no code

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT5085 my screen is locked,and in voice mode please help me to get it back.

    My screen is locked and in talk over mode ad i can not e into my phone please help me?

    If VoiceOver has been enabled on your device, first try to disable it by triple-clicing the home button. If that doesn't work, you can connect the device to iTunes to remove the accessibility options. Otherwise, tap on an item to select it, and the device will read it out loud. After the item has been highlighted via one tap, double tap on the same item to select it. Once into your phone, navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility to disable VoiceOver.

    my iphone 4 just turned off and the screen is black and it wont turn on . its in perfectly good condtion and ive had it since april , help please?

    I've tried that. It doesn't work. The only thing that happens is the apple comes up. I've tried holding the home as I'm plugging it in and keeping it held for a few minutes, but nothing happens. My iTunes doesn't even read that it's connected.

  • HT201263 the "connect to itunes" screen is displayed and will not change

    The "connect to itunes" screen is displayed and does not change after an update.

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I do not find Airdrop logo on my iphone also the location services are locked and cannot be changed.

    I am using an iPhone 5S 64GB 7.1.2 version installed.
    I do not find Airdrop logo on my iphone also the location services is locked and cannot be changed.

    Have you tried a Reset: Hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
    If that didn't work try a Restore from your backup in iTunes. If that fails Restore it as a new iPhone in iTunes.
    And if all the above fail, you do not have an employer profile on your iPhone, and there are no Restrictions set, get it serviced.

    we have an ipod touch 4th gen and the screen is locked up and it will not back up or restore. I have removed iTunes and reloaded also iCloud the same we are needing help

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart. No content will be affected.
