New symbol upper right corner of iPhone 4

their's a icon that looks like a circular arrow with a lock in the middle in the upper right hand corner of the display (next to the battery icon). Any idea what it's for & how to get rid of it?
the display no longer shifts between potrait & landscape view - might be related to that.
iPhone is running OS 4.2.1
Thanks

  • 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.

  • What a symbol of a lock with an arrow around it in upper right corner means?

    I have a symbol in the upper right corner of my iphone 4s screen.  The symbol is a lock with a circular arrow around it.  Never seen it before and was wondering what it might be.  Thanks.

  • HT1386 It says to click the device button in the upper right corner....there isn't one.  Itunes doesn't even recognize my devices since I did the most current update.  I have two iPhones, thru different carriers, and neither one works now!

    I did the latest iTunes update...I have 2 iPhones--each thru a different provider.  Now, I can't sync to download any music from iTunes.  iTunes doesn't recognize either device now.  I went thru diagnostics, didn't work.  I tried the suggestions from Apple...it says to click the device button in upper right corner....there isn't one.  When I connected each for the first time after update, it "installed device drivers".  I have checked for further updates on iTunes--nothing.  I made sure there were no updates listed for iPhones...all up to date.  I get an error code and from what I have looked through in forums etc, it seems like a lot of people are getting it...0ex000084 I believe it was.  Windows opens to download photos but that's it.  Devices are not listed at all.  I have tried all 3 USB ports in computer too.  I have never had any problems before this update!!  HELP!  I just bought $15 worth of music I can't download to phones now!

    On the left hand side of iTunes do you have the sidebar up left hand side?
    If this is not up then try this, with iTunes open press "Control" and "s" together and it should bring it up. From the sidebar it should show an option devices with the iPhones underneath it.

    The warranty of an iPhone is only valid in the country where it has been bought. You'll have to bring it back to the USA to get it serviced, Apple does not accept international shipments. Any Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store outside the USA will not service your phone, sorry.

  • Edit does not appear in upper right corner of the main screen in camera roll of my iPhone 4S.

    Edit does not appear in upper right corner of the main screen in camera roll of my iPhone 4S. My software is the latest ver. 6.1.3 and I know it is supposed to be there because we have other iPhone 4S phones and it is there on them.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When I open a new tab the Amazon Search Page appears and the reset grid is not in upper right corner

    When I click on the open new tab "+" what I open to is the Amazon search page.
    The URL Of the page is;
    www.amazon.com/websearch/ref=bit_bds-p23_serp_ff_us_display?ie=UTF8&tagbase=bds-p23&tbrId=v1_abb-channel-23_f7847e52c2fb4b3381f5107c4adc5722_39_1006_20140323_US_ff_nt_dcomnew-util-728
    The grid that should be in the upper right corner to reset the page is not on the page with the above URL. How do I reset to normal Firefox?.

    There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • IPhone 5 upper right corner of screen is popping out

    So I have had this iPhone 5 for over a year, all my warrantees have expired. I have taken very good care of this phone. It has always been in a case. I recently noticed that the upper right corner of the screen is raised up a bit higher than the rest of the screen. I began to investigate it a little bit more and saw that when I pressed down on the raised portion of the screen, it does in fact go down to its ideal position. At first I sucked it up and moved on because it wasn't presenting a problem for me, but now it seems to be getting worse. I will being using my phone and when I use the upper right portion of my screen I can hear clicking as the screen seems to be popping in and out. I am worried that this will continue to escalade and eventually become very problematic. Is there a way I can get this fixed or replaced for free? This seems to be a problem with the phone's design rather than something I have done to it. I have heard of several cases of people experiencing similar problems.

    You have activated rotation lock. Check the little switch near the volume control.
