  • 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?

    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 its the button far right; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

  • Move screen lock button gone, how do I get it back?

    Its not the one to open the iPad, but when we first had it, the button above the volume control worked as a lock button to stop the angle of the screen moving. I don't know what happened, but now that button mutes the volume. Is there a particular mode it needs to be on to get it back?

    Settings > General > Use Side Switch To - more info here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 . It doesn't mute all sounds i.e. only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound - so for example you can watch a video without getting email notification sounds.
    Not sure why you chose cyan as the colour of the text for post, but it makes it very difficult to read.

  • Lock button doesn't mute sound

    Lock button Works great for lock rotation but not for mute sound.

    Is there any software that can make the switch silence all sounds as a safety percation?  I had my volume all the way down I thought and then all of a sudden sound came on full volume from an app.  I have been waiting for this to happen to me and finally it did.
    It's interesting how different apps tie into the sound, some play music which I guess is registered to system sound and the lock switch will stop it from playing but several (most it seems) that play sounds or iTunes of course doesn't stop the sound which makes me a bit paridoid to have the thing in meetings.  Hardware switches are so much better than software visuals for things like this in IMO.

  • 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.

  • Screen Lock not working with new OS

    After loading the 4.2 OS on the iPad now the Screen Lock button became the mute button!
    Useless to me and lost useful functionality.
    Please advise - is there any chance to get back to the Screen Lock function without re-installing the previous OS?
    Urgent please!

  • Mute button v.s. screen lock

    The screen lock button on the side was changed to mute button after upgrade the system to iOS4.
    But I want to have screen lock button and I found the mute function is useless.
    Who can tell me how to change it back to stop screen spinning?
    thanks.

    You can't change it back, but you can 'stop screen spinning' by using the re-positioned screen orientation lock.
    Double tap the home button, swipe to the right, and there you will see it on the left hand side.

  • Lock button doesn't work since update, any ideas?

    All my lock button does is mute, will not lock the screen orientation. Does anyone have any ideas to fix this?

  • Screen lock problems with Alarm, etc...

    The Alarm notification window goes away too quickly.
    I have the screen lock setting ON (so I have to slide the yellow ball up).  I also have the screen lock time set to one minute.
    When the alarm goes off (IF it goes off, which is another bug) the screen turns on with the slider indicating an alarm is going off, but it quickly goes away.
    It doesn't stay active for the minute I have set. 
    Thus, I have to hit the button, then unlock the screen to snooze the alarm.
    Also I noticed that the screen lock, well, works whenever it wants to.  Sometimes Im asked to slide the ball, other times I am not.  I should be qued to do this every time I tap the power button.
    All these little bugs are making me a little leery of my Pre purchase...
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I was on vacation this weekend and set my Pre alarm to go off both mornings.  The first morning it went off, but the touch screen, volume buttons, unlock, etc. were all frozen.  Nothing had any effect on the Pre whatsoever.  Had to completely shut down the Pre.
    The next morning, it simply didn't go off at all.  Triple-check the settings, and all were correct.  Just deecided to not work.

  • Where is screen lock on iPad Air 2?

    Have the new iPad Air 2. Unlike my old iPad 2 (not air) there is no screen lock button to change from portrait to landscape.
    Where do I find that feature now?

    I found it. From the iPad User Guide for IOS 8.1
    . (On iPad models without a side switch, use Control Center.)”

    Use the side switch then in your case. That is where your screen lock is set to. Read Understanding the Side Switch.

  • My lock button is broken. How long would it take to get that fixed?

    The screen lock button is broken so I can no longer take screen shots or lock my phone. Would I have to send my phone away to get this fixed and how long would it take? Also do I need to go to an apple store or can I take it to the verizon store that I bought the iPhone and AppleCare through?

    You will have to take it to an Apple store genius bar.  Some stores in the US are able to do repairs on the iPhone 5 series while you wait...but you will have to take it in and see if your store can take care of it for you.
    Verizon cannot do repairs so go to the Apple store.
