Otterbox hindering control panel access

Just updated my iPhone 5 to the new ios7. With great excitement in my fingers I start swilling through the new features only to find that I cannot access the new control panel. Anyone else have this issue. It seems to me that my trusty otterbox defender case is the issues. I hope this is just a temporary issue as I cannot see giving up my case. And suggestions or common issues I would like to hear about them.

Oh please. This is a major change in the GUI that will affect a great number of users with cases. Anyone who requires significant protection for there phone is likely not going to be able to use the Control panel. In addition to the popular Otterbox cases, I am also having this issue with the Lunatik case. Note that these cases in no way hindered the use of the phone with iOS6.
I would be nice if Apple would give the option to enable the old method of accessing music and brightness controls (double click the home button and swipe right).
I'm restoring to my pre-upgrade backup and sticking with iOS 6 for as long as I can in the hopes that Apple will address this.

  • Is there a way to protect the iCloud control panel access with a password in Windows 7?

    I have MS Outlook sync'd with my iCloud services in my Windows7 office PC (I'm pushing for Macs, but quite there yet, unfortunately!), and I have it password protected so nobody else can access my files. However, the iCloud app in Control Panel doesn't have any password protection so it can be messed with at any moment. Is there any way to protect it, or are there any plans to include this feature in future updates?

    Same here, I use iCloud on an office PC.
    I would like to password protect the access to the iCloud Control Panel. Is there a way to do that? I can either "Sign in" or "Sign Out."
    if I sign out I can't add iCloud calendar to Outlook. If I stay signed in, IT could easily activate my personal iCloud mail.
    Ideally, there should be a checkbox to just add calendar and leave mail, contacts and task out all together.
    Thanks.

  • Removing access to "PC Settings" Modern UI app (but allow Control Panel access)

    Hi all,
    I have just deployed Windows 8.1 Pro to a  number of machines and am having an issue with the "PC Settings" Modern UI app - this allows users to modify local users (i.e. create new local users, modify existing local users) and play with settings
    that they shouldn't be messing with! This happens even when though the "Show only specified Control Panel items" policy setting has been configured (which works correctly with the classic Control Panel).
    The only way I can get this blocked is by enabling the "Prohibit access to Control Panel and PC Settings" policy setting; however, this also blocks access to Control Panel, which is required for users to access
    keyboard, mouse and printer settings.
    Is there any way to block access to the "PC Settings" Modern UI app? (I have already removed all Modern Apps (and provisioned apps) possible by using the usual PowerShell cmdlets).
    The users need to be able to add/remove printers and modify keyboard settings (nothing else), hence minimal Control Panel functionality is essential. I need to be able to block all settings being accessed from the PC Settings Modern UI app though!
    Has anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Kim

    Hi,
    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, AppLocker is only available in Windows 8.1 Enterprise / Ultimate. We are using Professional.

    Open "Java Preferences" either from spotlight or your utilities folder...it's probably going to say you need to install a java runtime. Then just click install!

  • Cannot uninstall I tunes. In control panel add and remove programs it will not give me the option to remove any of the I tunes. In program files it tells me access denied to remove any of the related items. I have tried using the removal methods from i tu

    My i tunes will not work at all. I have tried all the steps given to remove my I tunes player but in my control panel, add and remove programs it does not give me an option to remove any of the apple/ I tunes. I tried to go to program files and remove all the files but access is denied. This all started about 1 1/2 years ago and with every i tunes update i got more and more errors or problems until it stopped working. At one time i could remove and reinstall i tunes to try to fix it but now i cannot do anything. I believe one of the last  was i could not open i tune because it was being used or was on another network, not 100% sure its been so long and frustrating I quit trying 6 months ago. Hopefully someones got some help !!!
    Thanks I appreciate your time; Philip

  • Cant access lync control panel

    i have troubles opening the lync server control panel, when i login using my administrator i get "navigation to the webpage was canceled".
    to get the obvious out of the way:
    - DNS record for admin already added, pointing at lync FE server
    - The user, used for loggin in is member of CSAdministrator
    - I am able to ping between the Lync FE and and AD
    - IIS https setup, ip:all unassigned port 443,is set to use the lync FE certificate
    if any further information is needed please tell me 

    Hi,
    Did you change the simple URL to access Lync server Control Panel? If yes, please make sure you also change for DNS record and certificate. You can run the Enable-CsComputer on each Front End server to register the change.
    Please also make sure W3SVC work normally.
    You can refer to the link below of “Troubleshooting Lync Server 2013 Control Panel”:

  • Unspecified error when trying to access Control Panel

    I am currently setting up Remote Desktop Services on Server 2012 and I have enabled the policy
    "Prohibit access to Control Panel and PC settings".
    When a user clicks on the Control Panel icon, or anything else that points to Control Panel (Screen Resolution, Personalize) they get the normal error of
    "This operation has been cancelled due to restrcitions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator" which is fine and is expected, but they then get the error,
    "Unspecified error".
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Tom,
    Have you enabled the option to display "Personalization" in Group Policy?
    This is because "Personalization" option is linked to Control Panel, so if you prohibit access to control panel, and right click on the desktop select "Personalize", it results in the "Unspecified Error".

  • Updated Firefox but it disabled Microsoft net framework.. can't even access my Control Panel, now. What do I do?

    It told me after the fact that it was not compatible with Microsoft net framework and that when a fix came up, I'd be able to find it. I cannot access any programs nor anything in the control panel.

    Which Operating System do you have?<br />
    Are you running Firefox in some compatibility mode or did you (or an extension) change the user agent as it shows NT 4 as the OS?

  • Data access disrupters  (DAD's)are not being displayed on control panel

    Hi,
    Data access disrupters are not being displayed on Application server control panel (sid.host.domine > HTTP Server > mod_plsql Services >DAD's ) But users are able to access their applications.
    Not able to see database access details through Application server control panel. Can you please tell me where could be the problem exists..
    Thanks,
    DJ

    I am assuming you mean Discriptors (instead of Disrupters) and I am not sure which release of Application Server you are running. But assuming it is 9i (say 9.0.3 on Windows), if you select the OC4J instance or container the applicatlion was deployed to. You will see a link to Data Sources displayed below Application Defaults.
    The files equivalent will be found in your <ORACLE_APPSHOME>\j2ee\<INSTANCE_NAME>\config\data-sources.xml

  • Can't access control panel

    When I open garage band the control panel with record, rewind, play etc is hidden below the menu. How do I adjust garage band window to access the panel?

    Do you mean it's hidden behind the dock?
    Is dock hiding on or off?
    You should be able to resize garageband by grabbing the lower right conner.
    Make sure you have the correct screen resolution.

  • Windows server 2008 can't access control panel and can't choose "properties" under "my computer"

    Hello everyone!
    Today after a schedule restart on the night I thought everything was normal with my server. But When i go to "start -> control panel" it show me "empty". And if I try to lunch "change/remove software" via search window in
    "start" then nothing happen. 
    I know also that I can't right click on "computer" and choose "properties" in the start-menu. 
    Also another problem. I did install Fbackup to make schedule file backups on the night. The software worked well to launch when I had installed it, but after the night, this morning it just crash on launch.
    I can also tell that I did add from 4 CPU core to 6 CPU cores.

    Hi,
    Have you tried to see if the issue persists when you boot into Safe Mode? Since you it shows blank when accessing Control Panel, please check if the policy setting below has been
    configured.
    Please choose Start – Run - type (gpedit.msc) - click on (Administrative Templates) - (control Panel) -
    Prohibit access to Control Panel and Show only specified Control Panel applets. If they were configured, please disable them to see if it could resolve the issue.
    In addition, the issue may also be caused by the virus, please run a system scan to see if there is any virus. At this time, you can also launch Control Panel apps from the command
    line, and here's a list of .cpl files for your reference that you can print out:

  • I cant access control panel of wap4410n

    just i purchase cisco access point and I tried to access control panel to setup wireless security but the page i issued not display 192.168.1.245, there is any wayes to connet device web base ??

    To help answer your question the device only has the ip address of: 192.168.1.245 if it is unable to get an address DHCP. If you connect your device to a router or switch and power the device on if there is a DHCP server on the network it will assign the wap4410n an IP Address. The easiest way to configure the device is to power the device on connect to nothing. After the device has power on change you laptop or PC to an IP Address on the same subnet so for example 192.168.1.11. and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and you do not need to put a gateway.
    After this is done connect the wap4410 directly to your pc or laptop with an ethernet cable. Next got to Internet explorer or Firefox and pull in the address bar put in the ip address of the wap4410n 192.168.1.245 and hit enter. This will allow you access to the device and you can change it to a static ip address that is on your network. After changing it to an IP address on your network you can now go back and plug the device in to your network and it will stay on the ip address that you set for the device.
    Change your laptop or pc back to dhcp after changing it back plug it back into your network and you will be able to access and setup the wireless and security setting on the wap4410n. Just by going to the ip address that you setup static for the device. The other way if you just plug it directly to your network some router have the option so you are able to see the dhcp client address. If your router has this function you can look there and will be able to see what ip address the wap4410n has if you choose not to connect directly to the device and set a static ip address. Hopefully this has been helpful for you.
    Thanks

  • OffficeJet 6500A. Unable to access control panel in Windows8

    I have a new laptop and have downloaded the full feature HP software. The test print and scan appeared to work correctly. However I cant find how to access the control panel on my desktop. It hasnt created an icon in my windows8 start pages.
    I have a button that says HP Printer Control that allowsme to purchase ink and says my printer is off-line. There are no scanning options.
    How do I access the full print/scan control panel or, better still, link it to the Printer Control button.
    Thanks
    This question was solved.

    Hi SaraLK,
    I can help you find the scanning program. From the Start screen or Tile screen, without clicking on anything, start typing HP. You should see the Officejet 6500a, if not click on Files and it should appear. When you click on the Officejet 6500a the Printer Assistance will open, you could also right click on the icon and pin it to the taskbar so that it is always available right form the desktop.
    Here is another way you can Create Windows 8 Taskbar Shortcuts for Your Favorite Programs. Please take no offense to the referenced site, it helps make everything easier!  I use it all the time.
    Hope this helps.
