HT4236 I'm trying to recover my lock screen picture file.

I'm trying to recover my lock screen picture file. It is a very important picture to me and I cannot find it in the backup (not that it might not be there, I just can't find it). What do I need to do to recover this file?
If it where the wallpaper I would just screen shot it, but unfortunetly it has all the extra stuff on it.

Try deleting your iPod Photo Cache folder. See:

Custom "Lock Screen Picture" not functional?

Hi, the Remote Desktop manual method of changing the lock screen picture still doesn't work for me.
Am I doing something wrong?
Method from Apple Remote Desktop Manual:
1 Create a picture using a graphics program, such as AppleWorks.
2 Save the picture in PICT, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, or any other QuickTime-compatible static image
format.
QuickTime-compatible movies or QuickTime VR objects cannot be used.
3 Name the picture “Lock Screen Picture”.
4 Copy the “Lock Screen Picture” file to /Library/Preferences/ on the client computer.
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The method listed in the manual has never worked and still doesn't, as far as know, with 3.1, though I haven't tested it with 3.1 myself yet. The only working solution I have found is to swap out the Lock.jpg file located in
"/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/Su pport/LockScreen.app/Contents/Resources".

TS1967 When trying to recover a lost iTunes library file, the programme moved all the normal contents of iTunes folder to the desktop. Now what must I do?

When trying to recover a lost iTunes library file, the programme moved all the normal contents of iTunes folder to the desktop. Now what must I do? There is no iTunes Library.itl file. On the desktop it is labelled iTunes Library.xml. Several others files have appeared there too including iTunes Music Library.xml
Before I can use the programme is it necessary to take another step?
Thanks for advice.

Don't worry. I'm all for caution. I guess I should have asked a little more about what steps you took while trying to recover your lost library?
The permissions thing may be a red herring, but if there is a problem with file access rights to the designated media folder iTunes has been known to place files on the desktop instead since it can access this location. The most common cause for such problems is working with a folder on an NTFS drive via a differnt account or on a different computer. In the normal course of events folders created inside user profiles have limited rights for other users.
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
Normally the iTunes folder will be created at <User's Music>\iTunes with the media folder inside it. The library files should all appear in the same place so your comment about there not being an iTunes Library.itl file is confusing. Is it just the case that the .itl extension is hidden? The two .xml files makes sense from the above and indicates that the active library is not in <User's Music>\iTunes, but you have a recovered file from when it was.
If, in fact, the situation is that your desktop is acting as the main iTunes folder, and contains the library file, Album Artwork, iTunes Media and (optionally) Previous iTunes Libraries folders, with all other content being inside the iTunes Media folder, then it should be relativly easy to rearrange your into the correct shape and move them to the correct location.
If things are more complex, with something other than a library folder containing a media folder, then reestablishing the normal order is more complicated. The iTunes consolidate function is used to bring copies of files stored outside of the media folder into the media folder. It may sometimes be needed as part of the process of tidying up, however it leaves behind originals. There are circumstances where there isn't room for two complete sets of the media files on the same drive which is why I suggested the script might be useful as it produces the same results for the library without leaving the originals for manual clear up.
I think before you do anything however, we should get a clearer picture of exactly what is where. Could you perhaps take a screenshot of the desktop and post it here? Take a look at this post on making a split library portable. The same techniques I outline there can be used to lick your library into shape, it is just a question of working out which to use in which order for the best effect.

Opening Smart Cover and lock screen picture

I Would like to the see the beautiful lock screen picture when opening the Smart Cover (not Apple branded) and then swipe and see the input numbers option or just press Apple's Touch ID. Is it possible? Thanks ;-)

Nope. Closing the Smart Cover puts the iPad to sleep and opening it wakes the iPad again. If you have a passcode set to lock at some specific interval and that interval ends while the iPad is sleeping it will, upon opening the Smart Cover present the number pad to unlock the iPad.

ARD 3 : Custom "Lock Screen Picture" not functional?

It seems as though things have changed with the way that the Lock Screen Picture feature is handled from ARD 2, whereas now the only working solution I have found is to swap out the Lock.jpg file located in "/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/S upport/LockScreen.app/Contents/Resources".
Obviously this is not an elegant solution, but at the present it seems to be the only approach I have found that works.
Has anyone been able to get the documented approach to work? Is there a different way that is easier to deploy?

As per the subject of this post, that technique does not seem to work now.
I've attempted the following:
- a custom "Lock Screen Picture" w/ and w/o an extension in /Library/Preferences
- w/ Quicktime & Preview as the associated applications
- a copy of the original Lock.jpg from the package as the file
None of these things work, whereas the approach I mention earlier does.
I guess I should have reiterated in the body of my message that the solution you point out is not working (at least for me).

FYI - it is still page 139 in the final manual, but now part of Chapter 8.

My lock screen picture is zoomed in. When I try to change it, I can't scale it, or try to zoom out to a position I like. It is permanently stuck in one position. I asked a friend that had ios7 and he can't relate, and has never seen it before

To back to the normal scale you have to disable the parallax.
Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion (turn off)
You won't be able to put the wallpepr out of frame as ios 6 (earlier), but it stop to putting the annoying zoom.

I lost my Lumia920 Lock screen picture

I don´t have a lockscreen picture anymore, it disappeared after I installed my work e-mail (deleting it didn´t help). All settings are ok, and I even tried soft reset. Actually I Can see the locksreen picture when I hold down the power button, then it appears. (pull down to shut down the phone-mode)
I´d really like to have the picture back into the lock screen, it looks so bold with only calendar and clock in it.
Has anyone solved this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hope someone can help me here. After using Skype my screen is locked. I can get to parts of the functionality of my phone through the volume buttons, the camera button and the power button. The screen seems to be locked but I never did. Tried to soft and hard reset holding first the volume down and power and then all 3 buttons. I'm lost.
Any ideas on what to do here?

Using Apple Configurator 1.7.1 and lock screen picture

Apple Configurator 1.7.1 will no longer allow us to update or change the picture that will be push to the device for the lock screen within the application. Has anyone else seen this issue?

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. Whether doing the prepare or refresh process the problem happened to several, but not all iPads in the Bretford cart. Most recently with Yosemite and Configurator 1.7 I was a refresh to update to iOS 8.1. Many of them were successful. Some stalled and only completed updating if I exited Configurator and re-opened it. The last group failed and went into Recovery Mode, requiring me to restore each one in iTunes. Each restored iPad was then put back in the cart and refreshed, which installed the iOS all over again even though iTunes had just installed it during the recovery. At least it didn't stall the second time around with the recovered iPads but it was a very time-consuming process to get all 30 iPads updated.

Lock screen picture blurred , ios 7.0.3

I have updated software iOS 7.0.3 , picture on lock screen and pass code screen are blurred . I have turned off phone , waited, turned back on , pressed home and start button together , still the same problem .

I am getting the same after running the iOS 7.0.4 update. I was fine on 7.0.3. here are the details below.
After running the 7.0.4 update on my original iPad Mini, now the device crashes / reboots randomly when I use it.

Is there a way to retrieve lock screen picture?

I recently upgradedto ios 5 but in the process I deleted all of my pictures. I have faced the fact that my pictures are gone however, one of my favorite is still set to the lock screen. I was wondering if there was any way to retrieve this picture and store it in my album?

Even my apps are set up like the ipad mini instead of my regular iPad. is there a way to reverse this?

Supervised iPad Lock Screen Picture

We have Supervised about 1000 iPads. They come with a green lock screen. The students have now put their own lock screen on the iPads, but when we connect the iPads back to the supervision computer (for updates, to add to apps, etc) the Lock Screen reverts to the Green one that was first added when the iPads were supervised.
Is there anyway of preventing the Lock Screen from reverting? We want the kids to put their picture with their name as the Lock Screen.

Similar problem here -- after a refresh the iPad wallpaper is crisp and centered, but then after rebooting the iPad the wallpaper is no longer centered and quite pixellated.

Lock screen pictures

Hi,
I recently downloading the new IOS7 Software on my Iphone 4S and now i cannot fit pictures onto my home /lock screen, they zoom in too far to fit the screen is there a way i make them fit?
Thanks

To verify, the personalize option is hidden or is it greyed out and unclickable? Are you able to make it to the screen where you can select the desired backgrounds?
It sounds similar to the issue in the following thread.
