My iPhone shows a padlock in the upper right corner and photos won't switch to a sideways view.

Recently my iPhone has displayed a padlock with an arrow surrounding it in the upper right corner and it seems that I can't view photos or text messages sideways.  When you turn the phone sideways it does not change to view it in that setting.  Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.

Lock the screen in portrait orientation: Double-click the Home button , flick the bottom of the
screen from left to right, then tap
The portrait orientation lock icon
appears in the status bar when the screen orientation is locked.

  • My iCloud on my mac has a screen with a little padlock in the upper right corner and won't let me do anything, i can't even shut down my computer. how do i fix this?

    I went into system preferences to sync icloud to my iphone, and i guess i left it up and now everytime i click system preferences the icloud part comes up. That part has a white screen over it with a little padlock in the upper right hand corner, and because of this i can't even restart my computer. Can somone please help me, thank you!

    Hey,
    I'm having the same problem as well, but on the battery drain however, you can drain it faster by using voice control. If you have music on your device, you can use the voice control to play the music. Still takes a lot of time, but at least it goes faster. By the way, I tried running down the battery for over 10 times now, but it still does nothing. If this is in your case as well, it could be a loose lcd cable and you need to get it repaired or try yourself. There should be some good tutorials on the web.
    Hope this helps...

  • HT1245 Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s.

    Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.

    I am also having this issue.
    I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
    I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
    I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
    If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience!

  • My iphone 5 rattles when i tap it on the upper right corner and lower left corner.  also when it vibrates or when i shake it

    what should i do?

    I went to the store last night and they switched it for me... i tried one phone but it had the same rattle so they gave me another one. now i am home with the 2nd-replacement and there is still a slight rattle, but nothing as obvious as my original phone i recevied in the mail.  I am very upset because other people i know who also got the 5 do not have this issue at all. 
    i also asked to make sure that i received a NEW phone to replace my 5 day old iphone 5 and he told me they are all new replacements since its a brand new model, so they dont have refurbished ones yet. however it was in a small white box at the apple store. does anyone agree with this? i believed his answer.....but does anyone think i shouldn't?

  • My HTML prefers the upper right corner - why?

    I have written a multi-page website. Each has the right side cut off. The whole page seems to float up to the upper-right corner and then gets lost in the scroll bars.
    Even when I do  a "wrapper" div for the whole page with:
     width: 100%;
     min-width: 740px;
     max-width: 1500px;
     margin: 0 auto;
     padding-left:2%;
     padding-right:2%;
    and "body-main" with css max-width 94%, the left side gets a wider margin and the right side still gets cut-off.

    Hi,
    add a valid document type to your pages.
    http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html
    f12>Emulation tab to determine what emulation mode your (naked) web page renders as in your IE version. Possibly you are looking at a localhost domain that may be in Compatibility View (Tools>Compatibility View Settings>Display intranet sites in
    compatibility view)
    W3C - why validate?
    use validator.w3.org for older document types (html4 or lower)... Tip: ignore the Tidy validator recomendations... they are incorrect. (see the valid dtd list above).
    or
    use validator.w3.org/nu for html5 documents.
    Post questions about html, css and scripting for web site development to stackoverflow.com. If possible include with your questions a link to your website or a mashup page that shows the issue.

  • ICal icon on my Mac Book Air displays a circled number at the upper right corner as does Mail for new emails - how do I find out what item(s) that number is referring to? And why does it show up on the Mac Book Air and not my 4S iPhone?

    A circled number appears in the upper right corner of the iCal icon on my Mac Book Air. What does it mean? How do I resolve it? Why doesn't it appear on my 4S iPhone via the iCloud?

    Glenn,
    That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification. Since OS X 10.7.2 is required for iCloud integration, I am not surprised that there are anomalies between the iPhone and the MacBook Pro.

  • How to show the login user Id in the upper right corner of each page?

    Hi,
    I was wondering how to show the login user Id in the upper right corner of each page?
    thanks so much!
    cchu

    Cchu,
    The easy question first: applying a style to the welcome message. If you look at the page source, you'll see that #WELCOME_USER# is expanded to <div class="app-user">Welcome: DEMO</div> So to change the style of the message, you need to tweak the style of the app-user div in your CSS, or override it in a style block in your HTML header.
    Now, the tougher question: why the text is wrapping for you. And, really, without seeing your entire page, I can't give a full answer. But I'd suggest that what's most likely happening is that the table column you're putting it in is too narrow, so it's wrapping; try replacing the td tag with <td nowrap="nowrap"> This will force the column to be wide enough to display the full message, but might result in weird formatting elsewhere on the page (depending on what all is in your table).

  • Think the app will ever show the red number icon in the upper right corner?  Be nice to quickly see if a new podcast is available.

    Think this new app will ever show the red (new) number icon in the upper right corner?  Be nice to know when a new version of a podcast is available...

    Agreed. I do not want to keep opening the app to see if there is new episodes to listen to.

    I'm having this problem. It started yesterday. I have 2 updates, but when I open the App Store, they won't appear.
    Do you have apps purchased with a differnt AppleID?
    For example, mine shows 12 updates but only 2 show up as being available.
    The others are on my daughters account.
    I log out of my iTunes account and log in with hers and those updates show up.
