IPhone won't get past lock screen. Restart won't work.

My phone was charging and I took it off the charger, my friend played around and did the color invert thing (where you press the home button 3 times). Now it won't get past the lock screen. When I try to put in my pass code it just puts boxes around the numbers but won't actually press it. I tried restarting it, it's currently plugged into my computer and nothing. It was really warm when I first noticed this. Help!

It sounds like your friend also turned on VoiceOver, which speaks items on the screen as you touch them (and sounds like the Siri voice). You will need to go to Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver and turn it off. However, with VoiceOver on the way you use the iPhone screen changes. First, to scroll you will need to flick the screen with three fingers. Next, to activate something on the screen you will need to first tap it once to select it, then double-tap it to activate it. Example: to open Settings, tap Settings once (the voice will say "settings"), then double-tap it again and it will open. The specific steps are:
Enter you lock code by tapping the first number once to select it, then double-tap it to enter it. Repeat for the other numbers.
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
To fix the inverted colors, go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn White on Black to Off.

HELP MY IPHONE 4 IS SHOWING THE LOCK SCREEN AND THEN SHOWING THE APPLE LOGO CONTINUOUSLY

PLEASE HELP ON MY IPHONE I SEE THE LOCK SCREEN THEN THE APPLE LOGO, I CANT TURN IT OFF AND IT JUST KEEPS DOING IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, I CANT DO ANYTHING. PLEASE HELP.

See this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Please turm off your caps lock when posting here. It's considered to be shouting and rude.

Iphone 4 stuck on the locked screen.

My Iphone is stuck forever. It started slowly. First it started getting stuck while using, then it happened more frequently, and within two day it's been totally stuck on the locked screen. I tried everything including resetting, It didn't work. What should I do?

Did you reset like this?... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
In your case, it may take more than 15 secs of button holding, maybe as long as a minute.

On the iPad Air, how can I get the lock screen to stay on longer like it was with an iPad 2?

Since getting an iPad Air the lock screen does not stay on but for a few seconds after startup, how can I adjust the time of it? It used to stay on with my iPad2.Thanks

I guess I never noticed that the swipe to open doesn't stay on very long. But, I've not found this to be an issue as I usally swipe the moment I have the option to swipe. It's been so long since I had a 2nd generation iPad that I honestly can't remember if it stayed on longer. It's still not a problem for me. There is no setting which will let you keep the swipe to open on longer, so it would reasonable for Apple to say there is nothing wrong with your iPad

When i open the cover of my ipad Air i get the home screen Im sure i used to get the lock screen

I have my iPad Air kept in a third party cover which operates the sleeep/wake function
I have just become aware that when i now open the cover, i get a home screen and not the lock screen
is this something that has changed with the intro of ios 8.1.3
I miss the time and date when i now open the cover

Just had some second thoughts on this
1/ My wife says her iPad2 does the same
2/ I think that if there are any notifications then the Lock screen will appear - will have to try this
3/ If i operate the sleep/wake button manually ( the button at the top RH it works ok
No big problem but something has changed

My iPhone is frozen at the lock screen and will not unlock

For the past few months my iPhone 4S has been not acting good since I updated it to iOS 7. At random times it will go to a black screen and not respond for certain amount for time. Well today my iPhone went to that black screen and would not respond. Once I had someone call my phone the black screen went away and started acting normal as usual. Then once I tried to slide and unlock my phone it would not respond, When I tried to connect it to iTunes it connects and backs up but it will not restore. It had be stuck on the lock screen for almost 3 hours. battery life shows 100%. It shows the time as 8:38 because that is the time it stopped responding. The slide to unlock is still glowing but I can not slide to unlock my phone.
I have no clue on what is going or how to fix the problem. Could someone please help.

Hello GrayLady6,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like your phone is not responding and is stuck at the Apple logo. I would next reset the device with this process:
Reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If this does not resolve your issue, I would next attenot putting the device into recovery mode and then restoring it with iTunes:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

My IPhone is frozen on the lock screen, and will not restart or respond to ITunes. What do I do?

I really need help. It's not functioning at all. It's frozen on the home screen, will not respond to Itunes, or its charger, it wont turn off, no matter how many times you hold down the Lock button. What do I do?

Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

My iphone is stuck on the lock screen because of switch control

i turned switch control on for my iphone and now i cant even unlock it because when i touch the screen the red bar just movues to the left and keeps going from left to right it doesnt give me any options when i touch the screen. i already tried turning it off and on.

I had the same situation with my iPod touch 5th gen. You can manually reboot it thru pressing sleep/wake button and holding it up to 10 secs - no data will be lost.. This didn't work in mine, but to some it did..
If it won't work, you could do what I did which is I reset all settings in the Reset part. It won't lose any data, just the settings (if you have just less settings did to the device, which I had). So just configure or tweak things again in the settings when it reset again.
Hope this somehow helps!

How can I get the lock screen to stop lighting up when I get a text message?

I just got the s5 and my screen keeps lighting up every time I get a text. I really just want it to vibrate or make a noise. Is there anyway to stop this feature?

Hi iluvtomd1,
Congrats on your new, awesome phone! You're asking a great question here. Turning on/off the Screen Lighting option is currently not an option that is available in the phone settings. Here's a great link with more information about your phone settings and options: http://vz.to/1i9BRT1. Let us know if you have any further questions.

My iPhone can't get passed lock screen.

I currently have ios 5 beta 4. everything was working fine but now the phone freezes and won't let me slide to unlock. Any solutions? I've tried resoring to 5.0 again but it won't let me. Also to 4.3 but still no luck.
Any ideas, thanks in advanced.

If you paid you were either taken or a fool (or both). There is no legitimate way to get iOS 5 except to register as a developer. The instructions that come with iOS 5 say that it cannot be downgraded once installed. You cannot get help for this problem in an Apple forum; an Internet search might (or might not) help.
