Screen lock button muting the Ipad

The screen lock rotation button on my Ipad instead of locking the screen is muting the sound, anybody know what can I do about that?

Rotation lock is now a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the button now mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc.
Rotation lock : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and it's the button far left; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

  • Where is the new screen lock button on the iOS 7?

    Prior to the update. My iPod had the screen lock to prevent my screen from changing directions. Now, with the update, when you double click on the home button, it's gone. Where is it now?

    drag up from the bottom of the screen, and control center will appear. You will see a circle icon for it.

  • Why is there a horizontal line a quarter inch above the Home button on the iPad main screen all of a sudden?

    Why is there a horizontal line a quarter inch above the Home button on the iPad main screen all of a sudden? Does that mean the screen itself is problematic?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help I suspect there is a hardware problem with the iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Is there any way programmatically to disable the screen shot capture using Home   power button in the iPad device?

    Hi Team,
    Is there any way programmatically to disable the screen shot capture using Home + power button in the iPad device.We need to avoid the screen capture option due to security reason.
    thanks ,
    Bala

    Hi Peace, Clyde,
      Thanks for information. Using the API  UIApplicationUserDidTakeScreenhotNotification (iOS7)  send the notification after the screenshot taken.  Using this api is it possible to block the screen shot caputure option.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Screen Lock button

    Ever since I updated my iPad to the latest version of its operating software, the iOS4.2, the screen-lock button has been re-programmed (or something) to muting the volume. I can't lock the screen as whenever I use the button it gets mute instead of locking the screen. Its pretty annoying as whenever I lay on my side to read, it changes its orientation and I'm forced to lay straight. How can I change it back to locking the screen?

  • ITunes is locked up on the IPad-how do I unlock

    ITunes is locked up on the IPad-everything else is fine.  How to unlock ITunes.

    Quit iTunes and restart your iPad,
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work - reset your iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I can not get my iPad to mirror with Apple TV. When I toggle to mirror the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. The iPad iso is up to date

    I can not get my iPad to mirror on Apple TV. When I toggle the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. Have updated the iOS to latest settings and also updated the settings on the Apple TV

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

    How can I control an iPad from a touch screen which is mirroring the iPad screen.
    This is a very important application for disability students who wish to use iPad apps but do not have sufficient fine motor skills to use the small screen of an iPad but could use a large format display touch screen.
    There must be a way.?????????? Help!!

  • Has anyone else had a screen separation problem with the ipad?

    Has anyone else had a screen separation problem with the ipad?

    Does it really matter whether anyone else has? If you have, that's a problem for you whether or not anyone else has experienced the same issue. Call Apple tech support or take the iPad to an Apple Store, if there's one in your area, and they'll replace the iPad unless it's determined that the problem was caused by some sort of accident rather than a factory defect.
    Regards.

    Have you tried restarting or rebooting the iPad and then see if the volume control will work again?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Hello, I have an otter box for my iPhone 4s and recently the rubber schell has become loose and a little flappy. A lot of my friends have told me that the otter box breaks the lock button on the iPhone and sure enough it has happened to me. It's as if the lock button is frozen in place and won't click down. Can I return this phone for a new one? my biggest fear is that I'll have to go a couple of weeks with out a phone while I wait for my new one.. And with regards to otter boxes, should I stay away from them to prevent future issues like this from happening again?
    Thank you for your help!

    "Can I return this phone for a new one? "
    Do you mean "can I get a new iPhone for free?"  Nope.
    Do you mean "since Applecare does not cover accidental damage, can I get a replacment iPhone, for around $250?"  Yes.

  • My ipod is rejecting the correct screen lock to unlock the ipod.  I have restored it but it is still asking for a passcode. How can I enter my ipod?

    My ipod is rejecting the correct screen lock to unlock the ipod.  I have restored it but it is still asking for a passcode. How can I enter my ipod? Is there a way to restore it so i can start over?

    Place your device into recovery mode and then restore.
    See here:

    Also set your iPod up as a new device, rather that restoring from a previous backup.
    Note: All user content on the device will be erased.
