My iphone is stuck on the lock screen because of switch control

i turned switch control on for my iphone and now i cant even unlock it because when i touch the screen the red bar just movues to the left and keeps going from left to right it doesnt give me any options when i touch the screen. i already tried turning it off and on.

I had the same situation with my iPod touch 5th gen. You can manually reboot it thru pressing sleep/wake button and holding it up to 10 secs - no data will be lost.. This didn't work in mine, but to some it did..
If it won't work, you could do what I did which is I reset all settings in the Reset part. It won't lose any data, just the settings (if you have just less settings did to the device, which I had). So just configure or tweak things again in the settings when it reset again.
Hope this somehow helps!

  • Iphone 4 stuck on the locked screen.

    My Iphone is stuck forever. It started slowly. First it started getting stuck while using, then it happened more frequently, and within two day it's been totally stuck on the locked screen. I tried everything including resetting, It didn't work. What should I do?

    Did you reset like this?... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    In your case, it may take more than 15 secs of button holding, maybe as long as a minute.

    Hello GrayLady6,
    Thank you for your question. It sounds like your phone is not responding and is stuck at the Apple logo. I would next reset the device with this process:
    Reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘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.

  • My iPhone is frozen at the lock screen and will not unlock

         For the past few months my iPhone 4S has been not acting good since I updated it to iOS 7. At random times it will go to a black screen and not respond for certain amount for time. Well today my iPhone went to that black screen and would not respond. Once I had someone call my phone the black screen went away and started acting normal as usual. Then once I tried to slide and unlock my phone it would not respond, When I tried to connect it to iTunes it connects and backs up but it will not restore. It had be stuck on the lock screen for almost 3 hours. battery life shows 100%. It shows the time as 8:38 because that is the time it stopped responding. The slide to unlock is still glowing but I can not slide to unlock my phone.
         I have no clue on what is going or how to fix the problem. Could someone  please help.

  • HT201407 Per the "Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock" instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate.

    Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.

    Anybody can help? My Carrier is o2 Germany.

    Try resetting by holding the home button and sleep/wake button until it turns off ignoring the slide to power down. You probably won't see that if yours is stuck.

  • HT1320 my ipod nano is stuck in the lock position, my  hold switch will not turn off even when I move it, I have restored it and it came back on in the hold position

    My ipod naaIno is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it.  I have tried restoring it and resetting it and it still comes back on in the hold/locked postion.  It will only play when placed on a docking station and then I cant scroll to pick songs, I can only go to next song using buttons on docking station.

    You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

  • Can I connect a wired keyboard to my iPhone 5S while stuck on the lock screen? (Need answers ASAP)

    My iPhone's screen is unusable/broken on the right side of it so I can't enter the passcode on it and I can't access the Notification Center or the Control Center. Touch ID and Siri is disabled until I can enter the passcode and iTunes won't let me back it up until I enter the passcode. I have a replacement iPhone 5S here, but I want to restore it with the backup so I don't lose all of my stuff.
    I was wondering if anyone knows if I can connect a wired keyboard to my iPhone while on the lock screen before I go and spend the money on one?
    I was looking at something like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Belkin-B2B115-Wired-Keyboard-for-Apple-iPad-with-Light ning-Connector/35255242
    Unless anyone knows anything else I can try?

    Are you serious... only bluetooth keyboards? Even if the keyboard has the lightning connector? This supposedly works on the iPhone: http://store.griffintechnology.com/wired-keyboard-for-ios-devices
