"Lock" symbol in the top left
OK, i have searched and did not find my problem. I have a lock symbol in the top left of my ipod. Not a screen lock, it is not asking for a password but i get no response from it at all. I can not turn it off, i can not move through the different ipod selections like music, video and the like. It is fully charged. I am manually managing my content, not using itunes but in itunes i can see the ipod and access songs and content. To my knowledge, i did not set anything to "lock". How do i "unlock" the ipod?
Is your hold switch on? The top portion of your ipod. If it is on, you will see the color orange. Slide it over and try again.

T61 lock symbol in the top left corner? No access of anything.
Okay so I had a fan error I took the laptop apart to clean the fan it worked "I think"A lock now appeared in the top left corner With another symbol next to it which looks like a computer but its so small I can't tell so is there anyway to get around this otherwise if there isn't my job is at stake and with this economy I think I just might jump off a bridge after talking with my psychiatrist of course I changed my mine... Any ideas send me ASAP!!! I have no time to watse. so let me tell you what i have tried i have tried holding the esc key after boot up for different boot up choices and and i have tried F8 also i even tried F12... idk why and i have tried the 'Fn" key with the lock symbol on my keybooard to see what that would do i don't know what else to do with only another harddrive, 2 (2gb;1Gb) more ram, and the tools to take apart the laptop. I would be so happy to know i won't have to spend money on this machine cuz i am in the negetives here just barely living... help me or im outta the picture for good as to be honest this laptop is my life and it has everything i need on it to succeed in the near future along with many expensive programs that could make or break me. jeez im hopeless right now this is it i've googled to the point i was gonna pick up this desktop at this library and smash it and walk out like nothing even happened.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Remove keyboard
block fan-propeller with a match or toothpick
blow compressed air through the fan ribs from outside into the notebook.
finally clean the fan gently with a vacuum cleaner while the fan still is blocked with the match/toothpick
If the fan error still comes up, you'll need a new fan/heat sink.

How can i get ipod nano to get the lock icon off the top left corner?
Hey, my moms ipod nano won`t sync to her computer. Now it has a lock icon in the top left corner and i can`t get it to go away. Can anyone help me?
I assume you have made sure the hold switch along the top of the Nano is set to Off?
If none of the 5 R's are able to resolve the issue, it's likely a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service.

im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. All of my notifications are there but i cant reply to any of them. My screen is completly unresponsive. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this?
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
Could not lock and unlock my bb on the top left. PLEASE HELP ME
Hi everybody. I really need your help. My bb is 9780 and suddenly my button lock and unlock on the top left doesn't seems like working. And now when i hold the alphabet 'A' my bb can be lock but when i want to unlock it ,i cant just seems to unlock it. The only way to unlock it and use my bb is to turn off (remove d battery) my phone and restart it again.
This is very troublesome. Please someone assist me in this and help me out.
Really thank you all in advance.Just wait it out. Given how many people are having this issue, it seems to be on Apple's end, so all you can do is wait for them to fix it.

On my IPhone 5s, there is a symbol at the top of the screen and it looks like a circle with a lock inside. What does it mean and how do I remove it?
You mean the Control Center. As was said ...slide up with your thumb from the home button and a gray box should open (i.e. Control Center). There you can turn the orientation lock Off or On. You can also use the Flashlight or turn Bluetooth on or off, and other functions.

I just upgraded by iPhone 5s to ios 8. Now I see my wife's IPhone 6 and our Ipad Air, which I also upgraded to IOS 8. Why does it do that. Also, when my phone is on the lock screen, and someone access safari on the ipad, I see a symbol at the bottom left corner of my phone screen. What is that for?
I am searching for answers to this as well. My daughter and I just started seeing what looks like a message bubble or a safari tab in the left corner Of the lock screen. We can also see something in the multitasking area. If I am on safari, she sees the icon and can touch it. It takes her to the safari page I am looking at! Also, I was typing in a group message, she touched the icon and it created a group message to those same people on her Phone. can just anyone invade my privacy like this? Or is it just because we are linked somehow? Can I turn this off?

TS3274 Small lock appearing on the top bar and display not rotating.
My apple ipad ii showing a small lock symbol on right top bar and the display is not rotating. This happened after kids were playing games. Any wrong key pressed or why?
The orientation lock is activated. To unlock, double click the home button to bring up the multitask bar, swipe from left to right until you see the orientation lock icon next to the media play controls. Tap on it to disable it, click the home button to return to the home screen.
Also described here, in case the side switch is set to lock your screen rotation:

Apparently we have forgotten how to scroll up to find the search field, donate button, etc. and website "designers" now include a locked banner at the top of your screen that you cannot close but remains in place as you scroll through what remains of the visible field to view half pictures, partial paragraphs, etc. Some of these are enormous, most of a middle size and some are thinner. None are necessary but fit neatly under the heading, "Just because you can does not mean you should." which programmers seem to disregard at will. Is there some way for me to maintain (re-establish) my possession of my desktop when visiting sites? These stupid and obstructive are unneeded and Mozilla ought to be ashamed that I am looking at "Mozilla support" at the upper left of my desktop, yes, I know I am in Mozilla support and haven't forgotten it since I got here, and "ÏNBOX" "Search Mozilla Support" at the upper right of my desktop. I haven't forgotten how to scroll up if I needed to search support, either...
We are simultaneously getting bigger and bigger monitors and smaller and smaller handhelds, so it's a challenge to serve the right page for your display. But I digress...
Those fixed bars are created using the style rule <code>position:fixed</code>. In some cases, the rule is added dynamically when you scroll the page, while in other cases, it is fixed full-time. Because you may actually want some elements to be fixed, it is difficult to create a fix-all solution that will work well for all sites.
For ad hoc page hacking, you could try this extension that allows removal of items using the right-click context menu:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/
Sometimes it might take two clicks to find the outermost element (otherwise, you might leave a blank area instead of getting rid of the whole thing.
Some users use the Adblock Plus extension to hide page elements they don't want to see; I don't have any experience with that.
If there are particular sites you need help with, we might be able to create a custom style rule for you to override the way the page behaves. The best approach depends on exactly how it works. -
Q - My images have a
? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?
A - The
? symbol is used to identify a file that Lightroom can no longer access; probably because it has been moved using OS drag/drop or Move command rather than Lightroom.
Click the
? symbol will cause a small dialog will appear. This dialog will provide information as to where the file was originally located along with an option to find (Locate) it again.
As you'll quickly realise, clicking the
? symbol is fine for finding individual files that may have been relocated, but not for large numbers. There must be a better way
Look at the Folder panel (left side of Library module) and you should find that the folder/subfolder containing the files that Lightroom can no longer find are shown in Red text. It is the red text that Lightroom uses to help you identify a folder/subfolder that contains files that it has lost track off.
On the Mac you should
Ctrl-click (right-click when using two button mouse) the folder/subfolder, a pop-up menu will appear. From the pop-up menu choose the command
Locate Missing Folder, a dialog should appear. The dialog gives you access to every hard disk connected to your computer or CD/DVDs if they're in the tray. Use this dialog to navigate to the location where the folder is now located, then select this folder (not the files). Finally, press the
Choose button and allow Lightroom to do its stuff.
The method described above also applies to the PC version although the dialog is called
Browse for Folder and the
Choose button is replaced by
OK.
You can avoid getting into a situation were Lightroom looses track of your folders/subfolders by using a variation of above.
A tutorial demonstrating above can be found

Yesterday morning, my phone decided to kick me of my network and not let me back in. In the top left corner, it just says 'Searching...'. I have tried restarting my phone, resetting all settings and resetting network settings and nothing has decided to work for me. I then went to reset my phone but it will not let me log out of 'Find my Phone'. Therefore it did not allow me to reset my phone.
Please can somebody help.
Thanks.You'll have to unlock the phone in icloud.com/find to be able to get pass the activation lock.

I've lost the orange firefox tab with the arrow, that was in the top left corner: how do I get it back?
In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the Bookmarks menu
*<br>*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
