Screen lock image

With Mountain Lion I am trying to place a custom screen lock image. I found a previous post that specified a directory path but even though it said the image transferred successfully It still has that "unfriendly" padlock image. Is there a limit to the pixel dimensions of images that can be used as a screen lock image?

Hi all,
I've experienced the same issue and it disappeared after doing some weird steps.
First about the problem:
I have Surface Pro tablet, updated to Windows 8.1 many months ago. However yesterday this issue happened for the first time (not sure what triggered it) and continued today as well, even after restarting:
- Charms bar > Settings > Personalize. Click on background color or Accent color palette to try to change color: the pane and Start menu behind freezes and doesn't react on anything except for pressing Windows button on tablet, that throws back to
desktop. But when you return to that menu it appears the color has been changed after all (as much as could have been done in one click before it froze).
- Can't change lock screen: I didn't move the image selected there and previous images, they are still located at the same folder. But after selecting an image loading wheel spins and image never updates.
Fix:
After reading here that this replicates with account picture for some people, I wanted to check this on my tablet as well. My account picture shown the current image and 2 previous images to the right. When clicking first of those, nothing changed. When
clicking on the second one it shown the image from the first selected as account picture, and vice versa - when clicking on the first again it shown the second pic selected as account picture. After browsing and selecting other image, it didn't update in account
picture, but after going out from the menu and back again it appeared that the account image updated after all.
After that all started working normal again - can select account picture, change lock screen and personalize without problems. Weird, but it worked.

When upgrading the software my screen locked with image music connector with lights flashing how do I get out of this?

I have a new latest apple tv. I was asked do I want a software upgrade, when I said yes, after 5 minutes the screen locked with an image of a connector cable with music.
I pulled the power, the hdmi and reconnected and it went back to the image on the screen. the white light is flashing fast - does anyone know what to do?

The update was interuppted. You will need to grab a micro usb cable and restore via iTunes

LG Vertex screen lock broken

My phone worked fine until the forced software update a month or so ago.
Since the update the screen lock occasionally stops working. This seems to be happening more frequently and now happens almost daily. I can pick up my phone after a few hours and the screen is not locked. When I check the account setting it looks like the phone should be locking itself.
Sometime when the screen lock fails it happens after I get an email. (I get an email and then suddenly the phone is not locked anymore.)
One thing I noticed right after the software update is that when I push the on button and the phone is locked I get a very brief screen showing what was on the screen before it was locked and then the screen changes to the proper locked screen image. This is very repeatable and is clearly something wrong with the software.
Another related symptom is that after the screen lock fails to kick in I also lose the "home" button. When I push it nothing happens.
It is also disturbing that there is no place to look on your website to see why the software is being changed and what is being affected. When you request more information on the phone all it tells you is that a software update is available and you need to download it before you can do anything else.
This is what I have now: android 2.2.1, baseband version VS660MV6.6038.1001, kernel 2.6.32.9, build FRG83, SW version VS660ZV6.
I only use my phone for phone calls and the internet so I don't have a lot of stuff on the phone and have not added any new apps since before the software update.
Please help me fix this. Thank you

This is happening to my Vortex, also. Seems to happen at the same time each day (late morning) and appears to be correlated to my daily scheduled Backup Assistant timing. Next time I use an app or something, the screen seems to lock as usual. Haven't figured out the problem and can't help with your other questions.
I don't know whether this is related, but since this has been happening, I also notice that I have not been able to power down my phone without first unlocking the screen.

Question/Request in camera locked images

On tight news deadlines I often do my edit in camera by locking/tagging the best pictures that I want to import quickly - often just a dozen or so from hundreds of RAW frames. I do not want to sit and wait while hundreds of RAW files are loaded into Lightroom.
It appears Lightroom 4 still does not recognize locked images on the import screen, unlike Aperture and Photo Mechanic.
I want to be able to import only those locked images that i selected in camera. And/or be able to import every image and select the locked pictures within the Library.
At the moment I get round this by using Photo Mechanic to select the locked pictures (without importing) and dragging them all over into Lightroom where the import box shows my selections, and i just import the few selected files.
Anybody else work this way?

As this forum is focused primarily on the beta version and its new features/bugs, you'd be better to log your request on the official feature request forum here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/ I have a feeling I've already seen a similar request there, so you might want to search for it to add your vote.

Updated software, screen locked

Updated software, screen locked on ITunes Icon and plug in, I understand it's in recovery mode, now what?

Sorry, no. The screen image you see is specifically saying you need to connect it to a computer. You could take it to an Apple retailer for help.

Suppress screen lock when charging? (N8)

Is there a way to suppress the screen lock when the N8 is connected to USB or the charger?

Actually it is possible. The app "lights on" http://store.ovi.com/content/8172 senses whether the phone is charging and keeps the screen on. I used this all the time on my old N95 and did install it when I first got the N8. I decided to uninstall it as there is some concern about AMOLED screen life if displaying a static image for long periods, so haven't tried it since the Anna and Belle updates. It is your choice whether to use it if the risk of screen damage is real and significant - I didn't feel that I knew enough to risk it. If you want a free app that will keep the screen on, but without the automation that the above app offers. I do kept my screen on for fairly short periods using Le countdown, http://store.ovi.com/content/53253 which has a setting to keep the screen active which works even when you put the app in the background. I would again suggest that you make sure that you are happy with the potential risk of screen damage before you decide whether to keep it active for extended periods.

Lost music on itunes;; screen lock

hi all,
i recently had my computer re-imaged, which means that all programs and settings were removed. This caused itunes to be removed. when this happened, i realized that i forgot to disauthorize my account. When i got my computer back and reinstalled itunes, all of my music was gone. I have not synced my ipod, so all of the music from before the re-imaging is still on my ipod. is there any way to get the music from my ipod to itunes? about 200 songs on my ipod are from CD's, so you may be able to see why i do not want to re-upload them to itunes again.
ALSO: i accidently put my ipod on screen lock, and i have forgotten the code to unlock it. i realize that to unlock it, i have to connect it to my computer, but i do not want my ipod to sync when i connect it. is there any way to connect my ipod to my computer to unlock it without syncing my ipod? if my ipod gets synced i will lose all my songs and data- see explination above.
thanks for your time,
megan

is there any way to get the music from my ipod to itunes?
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
is there any way to connect my ipod to my computer to unlock it without syncing my ipod?
Connect the iPod to the computer you normally use it with (the first one that the iPod synced with) and open iTunes. Then disconnect the iPod from the computer and it should no longer be locked.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to restore it.
See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Ipod Touch shows two dates and times on the sleep screen/locked screen

First off i have the new ipod touch and i got it this christmas.since a couple weeks ago on the sleep screen/locked screen(the screen that appears when you hit the button on top of ipod) it shows the current date and time but in the background of that time it also sais 7:12 January 6 2010. It has said that for about two weeks. Also i noticed that when you slide the unlock bar over you can still see the slider in the background at the original position. One last thing has been happening with the volume when listening to music. When i try to turn it up i slide the volume button to the right to make it louder and when i let got it just slides back and does not get louder. What is going on.

I had the same problem with double image of date and time and also the unlock arrow. I found out that the problem was that I had, without knowing it, taken a snapshot of my wallpaper screen and saved it back to my saved photos. When I used that wallpaper image again, there was the dual image of time and date. All I had to do was change wallpaper! Good luck!

This is about iPhoto: I need to print the FULL IMAGE as shown on the screen: the image is SQUARE (equal on four sides). iPhoto keeps cropping it into a rectangle - THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! How do I get what I see on the screen in print form???

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

WiFi issue: Is it possible to change WiFi settings in a way that it does not switch off in the screen-lock mode?

I have iPhone 4 and 4s. WiFi is automatically switching off on both phones when they are inactive (screens are locked). It is connecting back after some seconds I unlocke the phone. But because I have no subscribtion for the Cellular data usage, I am being cuted from Internet all screen-locked period. All that time people are not able to reach me by email, skype, or other programs using Internet. It is quite uncomfortable, especially when waiting for something important! Is there a way to change this setting?

The iPhone does not shut down WiFi completely when asleep. It does use a power conservation mode. You should still receive notifications. There is no setting for this. It should work for you as it does for me if you don't have a network problem.
There are lots of problems reported with D-Link routers and they don't have a great reputation. If there is no help available from D-Link you may want to consider installing the DD-WRT firmware. It's available for the D-Link 615. See here for information: http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index
By the way, you do have Notifications enabled for the Apps you are talking about right? See Settings -> Notifications and Mail, etc.

IPod Nano Screen Lock bug

I think I have discovered a bug in the iPod Nano software. I'm using the latest software available as for today.
I lock the iPod Nano's screen and as expected, the graphical display of a combination lock appears. I insert the iPod Nano on to the Universal Dock and then proceed to control the Nano from the Apple Remote. It works partly. I am able to pause and play music and after a song finishes, it goes to the next one. I am not, however, able to fast forward, rewind, or skip tracks. I am able to play and pause, plus the Nano goes to the next track automatically after it finishes play the current one.
Seems to me a bug! I would imagine that the screen lock is supposed to lock all kinds of control to the iPod except entering password.

connect it to itunes and it will unlock

TS4006 I lost my iPad! I initially set up a screen lock in iCloud but now my iPad is no longer in the list.

I lost my iPad! I initially set up a screen lock in iCloud, only to find out that I would then not be able to find my device. I then removed my device from the list in iCloud. Now, after clicking on "find my iPhone", it does not appear in the list. How do I get it back in my list of devices? The fact that it was originally in the list, does it mean that I did activate "find my iPhone"?

you did activate find my iPhone but because you removed it from the devices list, you cant do anything further. You need the device to add it back to the list.
