IPhone screen lock

Can I lock iPhone screen myself? I find I have used my phone, put it back in my pocket and I have dialled someone unintentionally. Minimum screen time lock is 1 minute

Push the button on the top of the phone.

  • My iphone screen locked i forget my password how to open my iphone 4s

    my iphone screen is locked i am forgot password how to open my phone please help me

    Hello BobyJacob,
    It sounds like the passcode is forgotten and you cannot get into your iPad. You can use the following article to help reset that passcode:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    If you have not synced your device to iTunes there is a section in the article for that as well.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • IPhone screen lock turns off app audio

    Why does my This American Life app stop playing when I lock my iPhone screen? And how can I make it keep playing? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change? It's annoying to have to keep touching the screen so it will keep playing!

    Wait, I just realized this only happens when I'm streaming audio -- I'm trying it now at home, with a WiFi connection, and it keeps playing after the screen locks.

  • Hey guys, my iphone screen locks and sometimes it even prompts to be turned off.  It's as if the buttons are stuck, but it doesn't feel like they are.  Anyone got any clues on how to fix it?

    Hey guys, i am having a little problem with my iphone 5 running on ios 7.1.1. My screen keeps locking and unlocking by itself and sometimes even prompts to power off. It makes it look like the power button is stuck but its not, this started after the phone hitting the floor some days ago. Kindly help me resolve this problem

    Probably a hardware problem due to the fall. To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:

  • IPhone screen locks on wake

    So I have this seemingly random problem on my phone where the screen illuminates after I push the wake or home button but the screen doesn't sense any touch what so ever. I have to push the sleep/wake button 2 times to reset the screen. Usually it takes only one rewake but it seems I do it all the time. What could be causing this to happen? I have a first gen Iphone with the updated firmware.

    How often do you power your iPhone off and on?
    It is a good idea to power any GSM phone off and on every few days or so, but a good idea to do this on a daily basis with a phone in the smart phone category.
    Baring that your iPhone's storage capacity if full or very close to it, the standard troubleshooting steps in order are; power the iPhone off and on, Reset, Restore.

  • IPhone app suspended on screen lock

    If this is the wrong forum for such a question, please let me know!
    I've developed an iPhone app with Flash CS5 that polls certain things every few seconds. It's working as expected, except when the iPhone screen locks (by itself due to inactivity, not when a user presses the lock hardware button on the top of the phone).
    Other applications I've seen are able to continue their polling or activity after the screen is locked, but mine appears to stop completely until the screen is unlocked. It resumes correctly after the screen is unlocked.
    What do I need to do (either in the Actionscript or perhaps a publish setting?) to allow the app to keep polling when the screen is locked?

    And so what happens when you actually connect your phone to your computer via USB like the logo indicates?

  • When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

    When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

    I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

  • IPhone is locked on Connect To iTunes screen.

    Extremly frustrating, I was just simply updating my phone to the new OS, and suddenly comes up with an error message, and me in my all infinite wisdom, ignore it and continued. And boom, iPhone 4 locked curretly on the Connect To iTunes. I don't know if the iPhone is being sarcastic and trolling me, since it's not even reconsied on the computer at all, not even as a connected device, Comes up with the USB sound..but nothing is showing. Yes, I've reset it, held down the power button, held down the home button, connected it on and off, switched USB cables, powered it up, reset iTunes, checked if the Apple Mobile was current, reset that, tried to update that, reset computer once again, tried to reset it again, held down the home button while connected for another 30 minutes..and nothing!! Fuming so hard now. I doubt i'd get a new one, and I booked a callback which will cost me a mint most likely and probably wont even fix it.
    Sigh
    Any tips guys? Sorry for the rant. It's just really upsetting.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    I have no idea why it stopped working.  But why it failed does not matter.
    Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and have it assessed and see what it would take to get it working.

    my iphone screen is broken and i need to access it through itunes but my phone is locked. it cannot be unlocked on the screen but is there any way i can do it on itunes so i can access it?

    Depends, if you've synced with this iTunes, while that passcode was enabled, you won't be prompted to enter the passcode when connecting your phone. If you have not synced, while that passcode was enabled, you will. So, if you fall in the later, there is no way to do what you want.

  • HT4623 My iPhone is locked with the connect to iTunes logo on screen. I have connected and trying to restore but it is not working. I have turned it on and off but to no avail.

    This has happened doing the latest software update. I think I accidentally deleted iTunes before doing the latest update in trying to make room on the phone when it came up with limited space.

    This usually indicates a Hardware issue.
    Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
    Also try a differnt USB Cable and / or Port.
    Try to Restore a couple of more times... If no joy... looks like a trip to the Apple Store to have the iDevice evaluated.
