Locking Screen Issue

I'm using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.10, and have set up system preferences to require a password when deactivating the screen saver. However, I am booted off the internet every time I enter the password to deactivate the screen saver. How can I maintain my internet connection while securing the screen? Please advise...
Thanks,
Craig

Make an appointment at any Apple store. The genius bar can confirm whether your phone has a hardware issue or not. If hardware, Apple does not fix iPhones, they replace them, & the cost for an iPhone 4S, if not covered by warranty, is US $199. A third-party repair shop will be cheaper, but if you go this route, you void all warranty/support, as well as the right to an out of warranty replacement.
Sorry, but I suspect those are your only options, at this point.

[SOLVED] KDE Plasma 5 | Lock Screen Issues

Everytime my computer locks - whether it be manually or automaticly, I get this lock menu with 3 options. The first option has my username and my avatar, which prompts me for my password. Everytime I type in the correct password, the screen turns black and then reloads the lock screen. Which makes it impossible for me to log back into my session leaving me unable to leave my computer on ever. I can create a new Session from the same menu but when ever I do create a new Session after being locked out, not a single app will launch. And I know I am putting in the correct password because when I purposly put in an incorrect password; the screen doesn't turn black, it just gives me a diffrent prompt. Another issue I am facing with KDE at the moment is about 80% of the time when I shut down my computer, I get a crash report from most of the applications running, for expamle kwin. I'm only saying this incase it is relevant, it is annoying but at least it doesn't prevent me from getting work done. Also, I used KDE's suggested SDDM for login.

Oh, that really sucks, I like to use Arch for gaming on Linux so i dont think either of those sound preferable, but I think I will just try to downgrade nvidia then. Gnome atcually has worse issues with the latest nvidia drivers which sucks as well. Thank you for finding this.

Interactive Lock Screen Issues

Using an iPhone 5, just updated to iOS 8. When I get a text and swipe left in the lock screen, it does not give me the option to reply from the lock screen. Anyone else having this issue or fixed this issue?

I have been chatting to Apple on Live chat and they have fixed the issue.

Once phone has rebooted send a test txt to your self and it should work.

Lock screen issues when deleting notifications

I am having a recurring problem where the phone gets stuck when I try to delete a notification from the lock screen. When I swipe and hit Trash, the screen sends me to the password entry screen but every time I hit a button, the screen only bounces to the right then back. I have to double tap the keys quickly just to enter the code. Once this happens and I can unlock to Trash the notification, I then sometimes have the time/date on the lock screen disappear. I have to reboot to get it to work. It's happening on multiple devices, 5s, 5c, and iPad Air, all with iOS 8 (the phones on 8.1.1 and iPad on 8.1). I'm also having TouchID get stuck if it doesn't read after three attempts. Overall, the Lock Screen is pretty unreliable on iOS8.

sometimes seems like the effect may not auto-disappear, as it should. hopefully the "blur with no notifications" is NOT normal.
rebooting the iphone always works to remove the burred effect; and may fix this "glitch", if it IS a "glitch".
but, if your issue is only with notifications blurring the lockscreen, this seems fairly easy to fix, since you can set ALL of your apps to NOT display notifications on the lockscreen. If the iOS doesn't have to display info there, there is no need to blur the background.
you should note that there are things other than notifications that WILL blur the lockscreen; so when you say you're getting "blurring but no notifications"; then this could mean that the iOS is displaying some other info on the lockscreen.
Example: for me the blurred screen has to do with AUDIO PLAYBACK, which causes the iOS to display the "playback control buttons" on the lockscreen. When I PAUSE AUDIO, the blur clears up instantly. So, clearly, Apple designed the screen to work this way.
I will be checking to see if a way to remove the "audio controls" from the lockscreen. given new contol center (which I can access from the lockscreen), there is no longer any need for these controls to display on the lockscreen.
I will be trying to remove everything possible from displaying on the lockscreen, to at least minimize this effect. But think we all need to request that apple add an option to STOP the blur effect on the lockscreen.

FM Radio Lollipop Update Locked Screen Issue

Hi All,
After updating my Z1 Compact to Lollipop I face the following problem. When I listen to FM Radio with Sony's supplied single-button earphones with the screen locked if I press the button once it turns off the radio app and then if I press it again it starts the Walkman instead of resuming playing radio. This was not the case on the android kitkat. It's very important to me as I use FM Radio very often. Any help much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Sorry to hear. It sounds like the same issue that has being discussed at the Z3 board. I suggest that you follow this thread for further info:

Issue with lock screen language

My OS X Lion language is set to Italian, but when I lock the screen on the locked screen the language is English.
No issue once I log in, I get everything into the italian language, but when I get to the lock screen everything is in English.
I have 2 iMac, in one of them the issue does not show at all, into the second one it does. Into the latter, I had installed a iCloud beta and I suspect that could cause the issue: how do I completely remove it?
Otherwise, how do I fix that? Any hint?
Of course, into system preferences everything is set to Italian...
Thank you.

This seems like quite a serious security issue if keystrokes/commands can be entered on a locked system.
yes, it is. it is a known problem in leopard. it's fixed in snow leopard but unlikely to ever be fixed in leopard as leopard development has stopped.

Has anyone else noticed an issue with the new mail icon on the lock screen?

After updating to iOS 8 there is a new mail icon on the lock screen. When I slide it up I get this message:
"Failed to continue activity- the connection to your other device may have been interrupted- Please try again"
After trying again and again I get the same message and I do not have the "other device" that it mentions. I'm not sure what is going on, does anyone have any ideas?

Nope, have not seen this issue or have this issue myself. Try going into Settings and toggling off that email account, toggle back on and then send a test email to yourself. If it still persists, delete the email account and re-add and try again.

Lock Screen Music Player Issues

Here is the deal:
To the best of my knowledge, there is no solution (as of yet). I am hoping someone can guide me in the event there is.
I carry my iPhone in my front pocket like many people. I don't carry anything other than the phone in that pocket other than the headphones. Yet somehow, almost daily, the music player starts while the phone is in my pocket. If I manage to hear it, despite the surrounding noise and whether the headphones are plugged in, I can usually turn it off and save the battery. However, in many instances, I have pulled my phone out to find that the player has run the battery into the ground. After doing some general research, I have found that this significant problem is not limited to me.
Now I understand that generally, to activate the music player you have to press the home button twice and then tap play on the music player. However, day after day the player starts. I am certain that when the phone goes into the pocket, I press the button on top of the phone placing it in Sleep mode. Regardless of what I do - nothing seems to work and it is my understanding that there is no setting from Apple to disable the music player.
Therefore, I believe my options are limited to the following and hopefully someone can confirm my understanding or offer better solutions:
1.     I can remove every song from my IPhone. Without music, there is nothing to play. Granted it defeats one of the key features of my $600 device;
2.     I can jailbreak the iPhone and rely on the thoughtful functions created by third parties outside of Apple who have thought this process through; or
3.     I can buy a competitive device that is not simply a phone built around a media player.
Frankly, at the end of the day, how is this functionality not a safety hazard? If I am stranded somewhere with no phone battery because Apple decide not to give me an option to turn off the "lock screen" music player function - I would go so far as argue that this is Apple's own negligence. A "lock screen" by definition should LOCK THE SCREEN. This should not be a "lock screen" with certain Apple exceptions. At the very least, Apple should give the owner the ability to determine whether this information is accessible from the outside screen.
Even worse, assume that I have confidential business memos stored in the music player (this is where it stores them). What if my phone was found by a competitor who decided to listen to the memo that I have on my phone - based on the current function, there would be nothing to stop them? Or what if a child finds a phone and the music library contains explicit lyrics. Is there nothing to stop the child from accessing these. I cannot believe that the genuses at Apple did not have the foresight to think of these potential issues with the function - therefore, I believe that there must be a solution and I am not seeing it.
Can anyone help?

I do have a passcode - as I mentioned I am using a LOCK SCREEN which is the password protected screen. My point was that audio memos (like voice memos) are stored as audio files in the music player. They are accessible through the standard lock screen music controls on the iPhone. It makes no difference whether you have the screen locked/unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, there is no setting to turn off those controls which would be the ultimate solution to my problem.
I purposefully don't save such memos becuase I know that anyone can access them.
I am more concerned with the player turning itself on, daily.

Lock screen timeout issue after Lollipop upgrade - Galaxy S5

I have the S5, and a couple days before installing the Lollipop update I changed my screen timeout to 30 mins because I didn't want my screen to turn off while looking at pictures for long periods of time. I didn't end up changing the timeout back before the update, so after installing Lollipop, it applied the 30 min timeout to my lock screen and I am unable to change it to a lower setting. I've tried changing the timeout settings under display and all sorts of variations of settings in the phone, and it works when I am actually past the lock screen, but lock screen still doesn't turn off until 30 mins passes.
The main problem with this is when my phone gets notifications in the middle of the night, the phone stays on for the full 30 mins and drains my battery if it isn't plugged in. Is anyone else having this issue? I haven't tried reverting back to Kit Kat to see if I can fix the issue, but I was just curious if there was another way to get around it before going through all of that. It would be really helpful if they would just add a timeout feature specifically for the lock screen so that I could adjust it there...

This has been reported on some other blog sites I recall seeing and the quick fix was to disable your lock screen.

HT4623 Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??

Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7?? Installed ios7 this morning. Tried to use one of my photos from camera roll as background for lock screen and I can't scale the photo to fit the screen. Never had a problem before and now when I pinch the photo to get it to the right size of the screen, it won't stay that way. The photo is enlarged way beyond the screen size so it doesn't look right. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, cliffiapp4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding

Is anyone else having issues getting screensavers and the lock screen to work after installing Mavericks?

I recently installed Mavericks and now my computer refuses to lock after sleep. Instead of a box that asks for a password to access the computer again, it just opens up back to where it was before sleep. In fact, I can't even get my screensaver to work. I have the screensaver set to one minute (to attempt to get it to work) and it wouldn't even come on. The sleep/lock screen is set to ask for password as soon as it's woken. Same goes for when I open my laptop after it's last use. No password, just instantly on. Is anyone else having this issue? If so, how can I fix it? Thanks!

I had the exact same problem.. and thank you for the answer..
It actually makes sense, but I had the 'bouncing camera' problem and never thought of the 'slide'..
Dohhhhh
cheers for the post

Z1 compact lock screen, heating and camera issue

I have 3 issues with my sony xperia z1 compact D5503 , which are as below.
1. I set my auto lock screen time to 5 minutes but don't know how it gets to default 15 seconds after some time. This happens many times in a day. Not sure if its issue with anriod. I have anroid kitkat 4.4 installed on phone.
2. When my phone is charging, it heats up.
3. some times the camera gets stuck or open very slow.
Can anyone please help me on this?

Download the latest android version 4.4.4 via pc companion. These issues are addressed into that. Also don't use your phone while charging. You isse that's why it heats up. Also normal temperature rise is ok anyway.

IPhone 4 flicker issue on lock screen?

recently bought a 32GB iPhone 4 on 4.3.3 installed and there's a flicker on the bottom lock screen. Right before it goes to the lockscreen there is a slight flicker. Has anyone experienced this. Or can anyone look to see if they have this problem. I went to bestbuy and I usually go to the phones section with my cousin anyways to see the latest well there were iPhones out to see and I looked and the bestbut one had the same thing but I want to see if anyone else had this or knows a solution to this. Should I downgrade or what? I had an iPhone in November and It did not have this issue. Please help
Thank you

I am having and have had this issue for quite some time now. My iPhone 4 (4.3.5) touch screen freezes periodically and actually pretty frequently. Theres really no rhyme or reason to when or why it does it and I don't recall ever having this issue before upgrading to the latest iOS update.
Most of the time what I am able to reslove the issue (temporary) is pressing the power button. On occasion I have shut the phone all of the way down and restarted it.
Here are the issues that I am expereincing:
-Call finished and unable to end call on touchscreen
-Incoming call touchscreen will be unresponsive and unable to answer
-During call have another call come in and touchscreen will be unresponsive, cannot ignore, answer other caller...nothing
-Press the home button to wake the phone and the slide to unlock will not slide
-Press app icon (any app) and the icon idicates that I have pressed it however, the phone does not respond and the app does not open.
I took my phone into the apple store and they ran diagnostics on it and could not find any issues other than a few dropped calls. The "Genius" that was assiting me told me that my iOS must be corrupted and that we needed to do a complete restore. So, thats what we did and I left the store. I'm not sure exactly how long it took for it to start happening again but it wasn't long. In fact I'm not sure that restoring it did anything at all.
So...I'm not sure what is causing this and I don't know what to do about the issue now. I pre-purchased my iPhone 4 when they came out and have had it since then (out of 1yr warranty and did not purchase applecare).
I do wonder if I could possibly have a "bad" app installed on my phone that is causing this to happen.
Any ideas or suggestions would be very helpful...I am really frustrated at this point.
