The padlock with the circled arrow around it means the orientation lock is on & the screen will not change from portrait or landscape mode when you rotate your device.

  • I have noticed a new icon at the right upper corner on my iPad. It looks like a lock with a circular arrow around it.

    I have noticed a new icon at the right upper corner on my iPad. It looks like a lock with a circular arrow around it. What does it mean?

    This is simply he rotation lock icon showing up. It means that your iPad 2 running iOS 5.5.1 is "locked" in either portrait or landscape mode. This restricts the screen from rotating when you tilt it. This feature can be very useful in certain cases. To disable this feature, simply double tap on the home button to access the multitasking menu. From there, swipe to the right and tap the icon that looks like a lock with a circle around it. Depending on the settings on your iPad, you may have to turn off rotation lock by flipping the switch directly above the volume switch into the opposite position as it is in now.  Hope this helped! Reply back if you have any further questions! It was my pleasure to help you today.

    My macbook pro displays a folder with a question mark and won't open. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

    it means your HD and the software can't find each other, the following article tells how to troubleshoot this issue:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
    hopefully you have backup of your data since sometimes this means the HD is crashing.
    if the article doesn't resolve the issue i would take the mac to apple store or service provider and have it looked at, the following link tells how to find one close to you:

  • When trying to connect to my Internet indoors my iPad and iPod says authentication required, what does this mean

    Can someone help my iPad and iPod keep saying authentication required, what do I do can to connect to Internet indoors

    That means the wifi node you are trying to connect to is password protected for an encrypted wifi connection.  You need to know the network password to log on to those wifi networks.
    If this is your own wifi network, then it is the same password you use to connect every other wifi device in the same home.  If you did not set up the network, you need to ask whomever did for the connection password.

  • My sons ipod touch has a lock with a arrow circle around it (next to the battery life) what does this mean

    my sons ipod toucj has a lock with a circle arrow around it (next to the battery life) what does this mean?

    that would be the rotation lock
    it can be activated and deactivated by double clicking the home button (round button at the base of the ipod)
    and if you swipe along the bottom from left to right 
    you should see the same symbol on the left.

  • TS4006 when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"

    when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"
    DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • My iPad displays "iPad" in the top left corner. What does this mean?

    My ipad display at the top left is ""ipad" vs ATT. What does this mean?

    ok.. I've had the ipad 3 years and it has always displayed "zero to 5 bars ATT" or "no service" and recently "no sim"

  • I want a song i purchased on ipad with my apple id transferred to our family computer which is registered to my husbands apple id. But a message comes up saying 90days before can download? What does this mean i just want to play my song through the mac

    I want a song purchased on my ipad with my apple id downloaded onto our home mac mini. So i can listen to it via that computer. However the mac is registered to my husbands apple id and it comes up with a message about 90days wait needed or something. What does this mean? And how do I get one measly song downloaded?!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It sounds like you are trying to change your login in the Tunes store through iTunes on your computer, which you can only do once in 90 days, which you don't need to do for this.
    What does your iPad usually sync with.

  • Latest IOS displays fault code 1671, what does this mean?

    latest IOS displays fault code 1671, what does this mean?

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    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 the on-screen 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 (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • HT4060 Suddenly my iPad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What does this mean. Why has it suddenly appeared?

    Suddenly my I pad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What accessory? What does this mean? Why has it suddenly happened? What do I do?

    Hi Eileen,
    With iOS 7, the devices have become more sensitive to the type of cable that is being used to charge the device. I have found that with my iPhone 4, once I upgraded to iOS 7, it became a little more sensitive to even my iPad charger. It doesn't always recognize it if I just plug it in, but if I slide it in slowly until I hear the charging tone, then I can push it the rest of the way in, and everything works as it should.
    Any chance the cable is bent or frayed? How long have you had the device and cable? If it is under a year old, take it into the Apple Store (device and cable) so you can show them what is happening. They should replace your cable.
    Cheers,
