I WANT TO DISABLE THE LOCK SCREEN CAMERA

I know I shall regret asking, but why does keeping the iPhone out of reach of your toddler imply it must also be out of reach of yourself?
I suppose not comepletely out of reach for me, but not out in the open. I would have to put my phone either on top of a high shelf, which I would need to get on a stoll myself to get to, or in a closet or inside a cabinet. The truth is that I spend most of my time at home in the same room as my daughter, which is the layroom, and there aren't really any places there to put my phone out of reach. Putting it our of reach for her would mean missing phonecalls myself.
This is beyond this topic of discussion, really and I'm sorry. My daughter had gotten used to the fact that if she did get a hold of my phone she couldn't do anythig with it. Now she's learned that she can take pictures if she gets a hold of the phone and it's a fight every time she "finds" my phone, because now she wants to be able to take pictures and it's tiring having to take it away from her, deal with the crying and screaming and also have to punish her for the offense. Again, this is getting way off topic.
My opinion on the actual topic of this discussion is that this "feature" shouldn't have been imposed on me, I should've been given a way to disable this feature. It was, in my opinion, not well thought out by apple and I really think we should get a new update that allows us to disable it. (already told apple what I thought, thank you).

My iphone 4s will not stop autofocusing on the lock screen camera?

My new iphone 4s will not stop autofocusing on the lock screen camera, (the regular camera is fine.) It seems to focus on my face and then the green box surrounding my face doesn't go away, and I cannot click anything or exit until my screen locks after 15 seconds. What is wrong?

how did you turn it on?
I ask because I may not own a iphone4s but only a iphone4 and it don't have a LED on the front only on the back

Can one remove the lock screen camera icon and function in iOS 5.1.1

I recently updated my iPod touch to 5.1.1 to see what the later iOS was like, and I really dislike the camera icon on the lock screen. I can't seem to find a way of removing it, and using restrictions as was suggested elsewhere disables the camera all-together. I'm not liking the 5.1.1 experience and am considering going back to 4.1.2.

It cannot be removed as you have discovered. Sorry.

Is there any way to disable the lock screen with out the screen staying on?

I know there is away to disable the pass lock but is there a way to disable the screen from locking every time the screen goes off? cause it's so much easier to just press the answer button than to slide it to unlock. phone versions iPhone 4s and iPhone 5c.

You're confusing a direct answer with a rude one. Wjosten's reply wasn't rude. It was accurate and direct, without any sugercoating. You can't get the device to operate the way that you want (lock the screen, but not really 'lock' the screen). It's not a 'screensaver' like on your computer. It's a lock screen, designed to prevent accidental activation of the device screen, and possibly launching apps, making phone calls, etcetera.
If you want an option added that allows the device to do what you want, tell Apple.

Why cant i (still) immediately share a picture after taking one from the lock screen camera?

i put the question here because the ios section is only for specific apps... sorry.
seems a bit maddening that we are given such quick access to take a picture, but then have to open up either the photo app or whatever app we want to share the photo/video with. makes taking a pic .3 seconds quicker kinda frivilous.

That is a new one. I haven't seen that before. You might have a hardware problem. Also may want to try to restore the phone and see if that fixes the problem. Also have you restarted the phone by holding the home button and the sleep/wake switch ignoring the swipe to power off message and then powering up the phone again?

Lock Screen Camera?

I currently have an iPhone 3GS, I updated to iOS 5 and nothing went wrong, but the main feature I wanted from it was the lock screen camera. (Instead of unlocking and going to the camera app.) Every time I lock my phone and then later un-lock it, that feature is non-existent. Can anybody help me trouble-shoot?
Thanks much.

WOW that was not intuitive...and not well explained on the website..! It shows as automatic.
I wish they provided the same feature for the phone, I hate having to enter a PW just to make a call (While Driving) LOL
Thanks for the help

I want to disable the pointless "slide to unlock"

It is unbelievably stupid that there's no option to disable the "slide to unlock" barrier when I pick up my iPad2. I just want to push the top button and start using it!

djmordigal, thanks for your response, but your logic isn't sound.
>What if somebody got ahold of your iPad, or what if you lost it? If you have a passcode on it
I don't have a passcode, so there's no difference in security between forcing the user to slide the bar and not.
>Also, what if you put it in a bag or something during your travels and something knocked against the button and turned it on?
First, the difference between "bumping the button and going to the lock screen" and "bumping the button and going to the home screen" is about 50 seconds of active-mode power, which is insignificant. Second, the iPad resides in my living room and I never bump the power button.
hannifromeureka, yes, it is a chore. Sometimes I want to push the button for standby mode to chat with someone in the room, and then push it to turn back on--but this is a pain because of the extra lock step. Having to Slide To Power Off is also dumb; if I ever hold the power button for 2 seconds, just turn off! Don't force me to do redundent steps! For a device that's so focused on ease of use, it's very odd they force a totally redundant step just to power on and off.
alanfromnewtownards, that just stops the device from entering standby when sitting idle, which is a bad effect. And still, when you go to standby manually and come back, or do a cold power-on, you're faced with the lock.
It's much more understandable that a phone wouldn't give you the ability to disable the lock screen, since power buttons are easily bumped in your pocket, but it's still a desireable feature. To not have it on the iPad is inexcusible.

How to disable the FULL SCREEN option in the 'Insert Video and Audio' option

Hi,
I've been inserting some MP3's and using an image for pupils to click on to play the sound, the images are 100 pixels by 100 pixels.
The only issue is that I have the grey rectangle 'Full Screen' box over the picture. This is ideal when I put videos on but not necessary when you have just an MP3. Also I've noticed that the 'Styles' option is greyed out and due to that I can't change the
colour of the play button.
I've been inserting MP3's direct from my PC hard drive to the webpage.
Any help'd be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to disable the “Full Screen” button and make other customization when there is an audio file in the page.
By default, when we insert an audio/video file into page via “Insert Video and Audio” button in the ribbon, an OOTB Media Web Part will be added into the page contains
the file you added, the “Full Screen” button is a part of this Media Web Part.
In consideration of you might have other requirements on designing the style, I would suggest you create a custom Media Web Part instead which will enable you customize
the style as you want.
About creating a custom Media Web Part, you can use the <audio> tag:

My 4th gen. iPod Touch is zoomed really zoomed in at the lock screen and will NOT zoom out. What the **** is wrong???, My 4th gen. iPod Touch is zoomed really zoomed in at the lock screen and will NOT zoom out. What the **** is wrong???

Just what it says. I was using my iPod, everything was fine, I locked it, put it down on the table for a few minutes, picked it back up, and when I clicked the lock button the lock screen came up totally zoomed in. ***. I discovered I could move around the screen by touching a direction and it was dragged across. I got to the unlock slider and the little button that you slide across took up the entire width of the screen. Once again, ***. It let me drag it across, but it's impossible to type in my unlock combination as it requires me to click on wrong numbers in order to drag it to the ones I need. I also shut it down completely 3 times. It starts up normal, but the lock screen is frozen for a few seconds, then zooms in way far. ***????? Please someone help me out here, I've never seen any iPod do this...

use 3 fingers and double tap
then turn off zoom at settings>general>accessibility

Lock screen camera "bug" ?

I don't think the lock screen camera feature is working quite right. If you have your phone set to require a passcode on screen lock set to "Immediate" this doesn't appear to be a problem, and the screen lock works properly, but I use a 1 hour timeout for a lockscreen passcode. If I lock the screen, and take a picture using the lockscreen shortcut, I can get past the lockscreen and direct to the springpad.
I *believe* that after taking a picture from the lock screen shortcut, one should be returned to the lock screen instead of springpad.
Just my .02.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. Please try this. Lock Ur phone. Double tap the home button until the camera button shown up. Then take a photo, later click the photo just took. Then press home button. Back to home screen? This even can passthru the pass code being set.

Can you disable the camera from the lock screen? iOS8.0.2

I have a brand new iPhone 6, updated to iOS 8.0.2 and my friends like to steal my phone and take HUNDREDS of photos and that takes up a lot of space. And my question is: can you disable the camera option on the lock screen only. I know you can do it with restrictions but I don't want to loose full camera options. Just from the lock screen. Thanks!

I agree with the don't let them steal your phone part. But these friends aren't the friends that they sound like. Plus, this wasn't very helpful. But thank you for the "response"

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.
