I pad screen keeps locking

my i pad screen keeps locking within seconds despite changing the lock settings.

Try closing all of the apps on the iPad and then reset the device.
If you cannot get far enough along to close all of the apps without the device freezing on you again, simply reset the iPad and then go back and try again.
In order to close apps in iOS 5 or iOS 6, first tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Key and screen keep locking

I have just bought an Asha 300, and am still coming to grips with it. I know you can lock the keys and screen with the key lock button. However, whenever I leave the phone for a few minutes, when I come back, the keypad has locked itself, and I have to unlock it. Is there any way of stopping it from locking automatically?

No this is an auto lock safety feature to stop accidental key presses.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

My iPhone screen keeps locking up but phones appears to still be powered...

Sometimes when I get off a call or close out of an application, the screen on my phone will go black. The phone will still be powered on as this has happened when someone was calling me and it was vibrating due to the ring. I've tried to hold down the power button to power the phone off but instead of giving me the slide option to turn it off, it does nothing. Sometimes it will stay black for a few seconds, other times a few hours. I've tried plugging it into my pc and connecting to iTunes, plugging it into the wall socket as if I'm charging it, and even plugging it into a car charger to see if this would somehow reset the screen and nothing. Any suggestions? I've only had the iPhone for about 8 months and other than this, completely love it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tap tap, is this thing on? Anyone else have any issues similar to this?

My Apple G5 using operating system 10.6.8 keeps locking up. I get no warning or error message. I do get some intermittent screen distortion. Any ideas as to what could be causing this and how i get rid of this problem? Complete system re - install? N

My mac keeps locking up it s Power mac G5 Intel using 10.6.8 OS.X. I get no warning or error messages it just locks up and the only way to get it to work again is to depress power button and restart. Its random intermittent and incredibly frustrating. I do get some screen distortion from time to time and wondered whether it may be a graphics card issue or whether it could be solved with a complete system re-install and OS upgrade?

According to everymac.com, your Mac came with Tiger, 10.4.x and can't go any higher than Lion, 10.7.x.
It would have come with gray, machine specific disks. Since there's no reason to install 10.4.x first, and then Snow Leopard over that, just purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard for $20. What you won't get with the retail version of SL is the iLife suite (Garage Band, iDVD, etc.) that were on the original bundled disks, but you can purchase iLife on Amazon pretty cheap, and get newer versions besides.
When you get Snow Leopard, you can boot to the DVD, erase the drive and install everything clean. Hopefully, you issue is only software, and not hardware related.

Thank you for trying to help. I followed your instructions, it took 6 hours to download, and then said it could not solve the problem (something to do with error 9?). It will have to go back to Apple - its only 3 days since it came out of the package and its very disappointing for him. Looks like I have to hang around in the Apple store in Plymouth all tomorrow until they can fix it, or will change it. Thanks for your help.

bmwdr -
I have reported this problem from the beginning of the MBP release back in February.
They have not solved it during any of my repairs.
I have found the following helps, but does not solve:
1. Disconnecting and reconnecting the magsafe power adapter
2. Resetting your PMU
3. Locking your Energy settings by clicking the lock in the lower left hand corner
It seems to be a software bug that is somehow potentially related to the screen saver. When you shut your screen saver off... it sometimes disappears.

Just got the new iMac. The screen keeps jumping to the launch pad screen randomly when I am working in other applications. Please help.

I have the magic mouse, don't know whether it is something to do with that? Any ideas?

If gumsie's suggestion isn't the answer, try logging into another account, like Guest, and see if you get the same behavior. You may need to clean the windows on the bottom of the mouse.

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me mad having to put my pass code in all the time and the screen keeps going blank :( HELP!

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me crazy as the screen keeps going blank and I have to constantly put in my pass code every few seconds. Can someone help me out please. The pass code lock is set at 10 minutes but it's happening every few seconds :(

I've run into the issue and it seems to be related to an app not fully supporting the iOS you're on, the reboot doesn't usually solve it.
I've solved it in the following manner(s):
1) Backup the device to iCloud, then erase the iPad (Content and Network Settings).
2) Setup the iPad and choose to restore from iTunes/iCloud Backup (wherever you backed it up)
3) Perform any software updates
I have not tried simply performing the software updates (which may fix it, but if it doesn't you won't be able to perform the above steps).
Enjoy.

Satellite P200 keeps locking up with a blank screen

I have P200D-127 which keeps locking up with a blank screen quite regularly - its only 3 weeks old!
Loathed to take it back to staples as its taken so long to get going again after previous laptop died.
Anyone experienced this too?

I also (coincidence?) bought a p200 Toshiba from Staples in October this year, and also have exactly the same problem.
To answer the question above, there is no pattern to when the screen goes blank and lock up - it happens randomly whether I am using the machine or not.
I too am loathe to return it, as I've read that they will just take your machine away and you lose the computer for a long time, when I need it for my work.
I am not a computer expert, so it is difficult to describe the problem much more than this, but of course it is extremely problematic if you are in the middle of important work when the machine locks up.
I've read about updating BIOS, but many forums have said that this didn't solve this problem!
My other thought is that I need to take off VISTA as it seems this is the route of the problem - never had this with any machine before VISTA...grrrr.
Anybody actually know how to solve this? I find it a bit ridiculous to spend a large chunk of money updating my laptop to find it virtually unusable!

Dear users i have a problem that i can not open my i pad the screen is locked as i enterd my pass code wrongly many time so
now it is locked and writting ipad is disabled
how i can open it again
thanks

You will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

3rd Generation Lock Screen keeps flashing on and off.

My 3rd Generation iPod Touch's lock screen keeps blinking crazily on and off. The Turn Off slider also randomly appears when im not even touching the lock button.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My screen on my MacBook Pro blacks out constantly. If I press on the bottom left side of the MacBook, I can keep the screen on. I have been placing a small note pad to keep pressure on the bottom in order to keep the screen lit up.

You should try taking the battery out and putting it back in, but then if that doesn't work, you should take it into your Apple Retail Store and have a genius at the Genius Bar take a look. That seems like a hardware problem to me.
