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.

  • My mac is showing a white page upon start up with a globe and an exclamation mark in the globe. What does this mean?

    My computer would show a white page with a flashing folder that has a question mark on it at first. Then I tried restarting it while holding the option key, and it took me to a white page with a globe that asked me to do an internet recovery. I clicked it, but then it took me to a white page with a globe and explanation mark on it, that says apple.com/support -1005F. How do I fix this problem? please help.

    Ok so this is what happened, trying to get to the recovery partition.
    after boorting the screen was on a complete blank white page but it was making a "click....click....click...etc'" noise until it eventually stopped clicking and the screen with a rotating globe popped up, and it asked me to choose a network. I did, but its still on that same rotating globe, with my network name under it. but its not showing me any progress or notes or anything....
    :/ What now?

  • I have an all white screen with picture of a file with ? on it that is flashing on the screen. What does this mean? I can't get computer off this screen.

    Can someone please tell me what this means and how do I get my computer working again. It is stuck on this screen.  Thanks!

    First try: Shut down Mac forcefully. Press the button to start & hold down OPTION ke once youo see white screen. Boot disk selection window will appear. From here select your drive to boot into Mac.

  • What does the icon next to the location icon mean? It has a lock with an arrow circling it.

    What does the icon next to the left of thelocation icon mean and to the right of the time? It has a lock with an arrow circling it. Thanks

    It's the portrait orientation lock.  When on, and that icon showing, the screen won't rotate to landscape view when you rotate the phone. 
    To turn it off - double click the home button to show the recently opened apps bar, slide it to the right showing the iPod controls and the Portrait Orientation Lock on the left.

  • I am getting an Narration error that I can't record because one of the record-enabled tracks is locked in the timeline. What does this mean and how do I get out of it??

    I am getting an Narration error that I can't record because one of the record-enabled tracks is locked in the timeline. What does this mean and how do I get out of it??

    Thanks for the update.
    There are several Adobe Premiere Elements Forum threads about situation such as the one that you have encountered. Typically they are the results of some heavy activity in the narration track.  Some have found success in maneuvers between the Expert and Quick workspaces in versions 11 and 12 or Timeline and Sceneline workspaces in versions earlier than 11. That is why I mentioned that type of factor in a prior post in your thread.
    If that is not working, then we are forced into the new project where the problems in the current project are not presenting.
    I will do a search for the threads that I am recalling about your type of issue. But, right now all roads seem to head to the new project. But I would ask "Can you salvage this project by creating your narration clips in Audacity or a new Premiere Elements project and import them into this project, putting the clips on one of the numbered audio tracks?"
    If the problem should reappear in the new project, please let us know including the details of what was going on immediate before the problem surfaced.
    Thanks.

  • A file folder with a ? Appears on my screen when turning on.  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    A file folder with a question mark Appears on my screen when turning on.  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.

    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:

    good luck!!

  • On phone next to battery symbol there is a "closed lock with an arrowed circle around it"  does anyone know what this is and how to correct it.

    on my I phone next to battery symbol there is a "locked lock surrounded by aa circled arrow"  does any one know what this is for?

    drsoif, this is the Portrait Orientaion Lock, which means you locked your phone in a way for it not to have landscaping mode. To correct this you will need to: double tap your home button and swipe to the right, first icon will be the icon with the ''arrow'' going in a circle, tap on it once and the lock will disappear:)

  • I reset my ipod and it took an unsualy long time to turn on. I checked it the next morning and there was a picture of the charger with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol. what does this mean?

    I tried plugging it into my laptop and it wasnt syncing. so im not sure what to do now.

    - Try a reset and then connect to computer and restore if you can.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If the screen still shows something, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restoe again.

  • When I turn on my macbook pro, the white screen displays a file with a question mark in the middle. What does this mean?

    Suddenly, my macbook pro has experienced problems. When I turn on my computer, the white screen displays a flashing file folder icon with a quesrion mark in the middle. Has my hard drive burnt out? Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions..

    It means your computer is search for a start up volume.  You need to reboot into recovery mode and attempt to repair your disk.  To do this restart the computer and hold the keys:
    <command> + r
    Then open Disk utility.
