Is there any way to unlock iPhone besides using the slide?

Is there any way to unlock iPhone besides using the slide? My vision impaired Dad is slowly learning to feel his way to the approximate position of the slide and learn how to flick his thumb to unlock the iphone. Is there any other way to unlock an iPhone from sleep?

If you activate "Voiceover", your Dad can use the voiceover gestures to control the phone. These are different from normal gestures. For example, Unlock iPhone: Select the Unlock switch, then double-tap the screen.
To learn about voiceover, see this: http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#accessibility.using-voiceover

  • Is there any way to get accurate framing using the iPhone 5 camera?

    The iPhone 5 has a 16:9 screen, yet the photos are still produced in a 4:3 ratio.  So what you see on the screen while framing the shot with the native camera app is not the same as the photo you end up with on your camera roll.
    Is there any way to fix this?  I want my photos to look exactly like how they appear on the screen before I hit the shutter. 

    I just realized this just now cause there is always some extra frame added when I review my pics on camera roll. This site might illustrate the problem further..
    http://blog.crushapps.com/2012/09/with-the-iphone-5s-camera-app-what-you-see-is- not-what-you-get/
    The only solution Ive found is to use an ap Like Camera Asesome or Kitcam App they do use a 4:3 framing and take pics of exactly what you see on screen..
    However, I feel this is a design flaw by apple, you should be able to take a pic exactly to what you see on screen... I dont care if there is a black bar on top or in bottom(or both) on screen, rather than having an overscan of what your actually are saving on your phone. And its completely ridicoulous cause images appear with black bars when you review them on Camera Roll where the overscan would be nice (estetically wise , and a double click would reframe to what you actually took)
    Hope this answers your question..

  • Is there any way to unlock Iphone 4s in India?

    Hey guys,i m planing to buy Iphone 4s from US..plzzz suggest me i should buy an unlock one or i should unlock in India..i stay in India..plz help me with this issue..

    Remember that as long as the iPhone is 'factory unlocked' its usable anywhere regardless of where you buy it from.
    In case you are wondering how much you'll save buying from US, you can check their prices.
    Additionally I can add - a 16GB factory unlocked iPhone 4S will cost you as much in India as a 64GB factory unlocked iPhone 4S in US. (approx INR 46,000).
    Its upto you in the end -
    1. If you want to keep your iPhone OS updated via online all the time and buy/get free apps synced from itunes Store, best stick with a factory unlocked/carrier specific iPhone.
    2. If you are not into the above and can get the apps and updates from 3rd party sources, you can get a cheap carrier specific iPhone from US and jailbreak it for use in India.
    Apple will love you if you're no 1. and not if you're 2.
    Simple
    Peace!

  • Is there any way to disable Picture Frame on the slide to unlock screen?

    I don't want the photo button on the slide to unlock screens, their doesn't seem to be a way to disable this.

    Yes I'm sure that Apple knows about this.
    You can disable Picture Frame if you use a Passcode on the iPad. Settings>General>Passcode Lock>Picture Frame>Off.
    If you don't use a Passcode, you can select the album of photos that you do not mind sharing in Settings>Picture Frame>Albums.

  • Is there any way to get Mail to use the Inbox as the Sent folder?

    This may sound like a silly question, but I have an IMAP account with over a hundred nested folders. I've tried using rules to sort email that comes in, but honestly? It's more trouble than it's worth. Generally, I leave emails in my Inbox until I've dealt with them, and then I sort them into the appropriate folder.
    Unfortunately, this means that I've then got to go and do the same thing with the message that I've just sent—which I sometimes (often) forget to do. I then end up with hundreds and hundreds of messages in the Sent folder that need to be hooked up with their respective originals. Bleh.
    Does anyone know if there's a way to get both the original message and the response to end up in the same folder automatically? Mail doesn't allow you to use the Inbox as anything but the Inbox—it's the root directory for the mailbox.
    Anyone?
    BTW, I'm posting this here because I have Tiger at work, where this is more of a problem, though I've got Leopard (and soon Snow Leopard) at home.

    Go easy—I've been using Macs since 1984 and have only used Microsoft's bloatware when work obliges me to. (I talked the boss who insisted that we run all of our email and calendars from an Access server into running OS X Server; Entourage went away, and life is much better. Word is still part of my everyday grind because of change tracking, but I have hopes for Pages.) I've used any number of email clients over the years, and Mail is my app of choice for many reasons.
    Nonetheless, a useful feature is a useful feature, even if it comes from Redmond. It's not 1996 any more—Macs aren't the downtrodden Rebel Alliance and Microsoft isn't the Empire.
    It seems to me that—especially with an IMAP account—you're not dealing with something intrinsic in the structure of the emailing system, since the folder structure doesn't even reside on the client computer (except as a mirror).
    I suppose that I could use a rule to shunt all email for that account into a single folder and then use that same folder as the Sent folder. I'd need to create the same rule on my various Macs (and punt on my iPhone)... but I suppose that would work. But I'm still not sure why a more elegant solution isn't possible.

  • Tell me please, is there any way to unlock my iPhone, if the contract is ended and I moved to Ukraine

    Tell me please, is there any way to unlock my iPhone, if the contract is ended and I moved to Ukraine

    1. Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
    In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck

  • Hi, I have purchased an iPhone 4 in South Korea and I want to use it in India. Is there any way to unlock this in South Korea?

    Hi, I have purchased an iPhone 4 in South Korea and I want to use it in India. Is there any way to unlock this in South Korea?

    yes it is very easy...
    first of all your phone have to be all paided off.
    if your phone is all paid off you can call your carrier (have someone who speaks korean to call) tell them that your moving/visiting your country and you would like your phone to be unlocked. somehow they do this over the phone and it takes three - four days for them to do this.
    its real easy.
    if your phone is not paid off you can just tell them that your visiting your country and you would like to use your phone there.

    You may have to do this several times.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
