Screen lock means SCREEN LOCK!!!

Please please can apple change the software to allow screen lock to work!!! I am a tradesman and need my phone on me at all times, I keep it in my pocket and the really really dumb feature called voice control keeps dialling random people... Apparently this cannot be disabled!!! If this is not changed In the next software upgrade I am switching to Samsung like so many of my colleagues... Apple has gone downhill since the iphone 5, and in my eyes is not keeping up with consumers needs!

Settings > General > Siri = "Off"
Incorrect: Disabling Siri enables Voice Control (the original internal voice command feature of iOS).  With Siri disabled, there is no way to disable voice dialing from the lock screen by pressing the home button.   You have the choice of Siri or Voice Control, but there is no way to completely disable voice commands in the iOS.  Try it.

  • Green bars and a locked up screen

    I have a MacBook Pro that I bought less than a year ago. It has happened to me twice where these green striped bars pop up across the whole screen and the screen starts to shake and locks up. The first time this happened I manually shut it down and restarted it and it was fine. The second time this happened I did the same thing, but when I restarted it I applied a little pressure to the bottom, front left corner and a few of the bars popped up again and the computer froze in the middle of its starting up. What does this mean?

    Waste no time getting it fixed before the warranty expires.

  • Photos on my locked home screen.

    How do I remove the photos from my locked home screen? 

    I don't understand the question. What exactly do you mean?
    I'm just taking a wild guess here ...If you are running a slide show (picture frame) from the locked screen, just tap one of the photos and then slide to unlock. The slide show will end and you will bring up the home screen.

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen unit is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows.  Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs.  Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help

    ipod nano 3rd gen unit windows xp.   Nano is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows.  Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs.  Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help please.

    Sounds like the hold switch is broken, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • My Mac Pro "mid2010" locks the screen/ screen blacks out every some seconds.

    This started last week with the installation of Mavericks. What can I do? Settings in Screensaver etc. are "normal", i.e. I did not change anything. The screen goes black totally randomly every 5 to 10 seconds. I usually have "require password to unlock screen". So it asks me to enter the password every time. That means it locks the screen ? I unchecked this option to be able to at least get some work done. I can wake the machine up by hitting any keys. There are several people working on this machine. Some of us use the Remote Desktop (RD) environment "vnc://..." but stopped using it, to make sure the problem is not related to the use of RD. The problem is still there. Does anyone have an idea. I cannot find any useful hints on this, nor was I able to find a similar problem.
    Cheers,

    How to make your own bootable OS X 10.9 Mavericks USB install drive
    Apple has changed things in 10.9, but making a recovery drive is still possible.
    by Andrew Cunningham - Oct 23 2013, 8:19am CDT
    OS X  Flickr user Prime Number   
    When Apple released OS X 10.7 two years ago, it stopped selling operating system DVDs in its stores, stopped shipping recovery disks with new Macs, and switched to downloadable installers for OS X upgrades.
    These download-only installers have actually worked pretty well—I’ve never had an issue downloading the software from the Mac App Store or restoring a Mac using the Internet Recovery feature when something went south.
    That said, it’s still nice to have an install disk handy for those cases when you don’t have a connection, when your connection is slow, or when you just have a whole bunch of Macs and don’t want to have to download the installer on each and every one of them.
    The good news is, as with Lion and Mountain Lion, it’s possible to create a local USB installer for Mavericks. The bad news is that it wasn’t as simple as it was before—Apple has changed the way the installer works, and making an install disk manually is more difficult than it used to be. Before we get started, here’s what you’ll need:
    An 8GB or larger USB flash drive, or an 8GB or larger partition on some other kind of external drive
    The OS X 10.9 Mavericks installer from the Mac App Store in your Applications folder. The installer will delete itself when you install the operating system, but it can be re-downloaded if necessary.
    The latest beta of the Lion Diskmaker app, available here (as of this writing, version 3 beta 3 is the most recent). This app is free to download, but the creator accepts donations if you want to support his efforts.
    An administrator account on the Mac you're using to create the disk.
    The easy way
    Enlarge / Lion Diskmaker remains the easiest, most user-friendly way to get this done.
    Andrew Cunningham
    Once you've obtained all of the necessary materials, unzip the Lion Diskmaker app and run it. The app can currently make installers for OS X 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9, but we're only interested in Mavericks today.
    Lion Diskmaker has actually been around since the days of OS X 10.7 (which explains the name), but it's more important now because Apple has made alterations to the installer that prevent the old Disk Utility method from working.
    It's still possible to create a disk manually using a Terminal command (which we'll go into momentarily), but Lion Diskmaker presents an easy GUI-based way to do it that is less intimidating to most people.
    One note of caution: Lion Diskmaker no longer supports creating OS X install DVDs. This isn't going to be a problem for any Mac that can actually install Mavericks, but if you'd rather use a disc than a USB drive you're apparently out of luck.
    Anyway, select OS X 10.9 in Lion Diskmaker and the app should automatically find the copy you've downloaded to your Applications folder, but clicking "Use another copy" will let you browse the drive if you happen to have moved it.
    It will then ask you where you want to copy the files—click "An 8GB USB thumb drive" if you have a single drive to use, or "Another kind of disk" to use a partition on a larger drive or some other kind of external drive.
    Choose your disk (or partition) from the list that appears, verify that you'd like to have the disk (or partition) erased, and then wait for the files to copy over. The process is outlined in screenshots below.
    The only-slightly-less-easy way
    If you don't want to use Lion Diskmaker for some reason, poster tywebb13 on the MacRumors forums has your hookup. Assuming that you have the OS X Mavericks installer in your Applications folder and you have a Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)-formatted volume named "Untitled" mounted on the system, you can create a Mavericks install drive by typing the following command into the Terminal.
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    The command will erase the disk and copy the install files over. Give it some time, and your volume will soon be loaded up with not just the OS X installer, but also an external recovery partition that may come in handy if your hard drive dies and you're away from an Internet connection.
    Whichever method you use, you should be able to boot from your new USB drive either by changing the default Startup Disk in System Preferences or by holding down the Option key at boot and selecting the drive. Once booted, you'll be able to install or upgrade Mavericks as you normally would.

  • How do you lock the screen on iphone 4?

    How do you lock the screen on iphone 4 while on a call? I mute calls, activate face time and I have even called someone by accident during a call. I know there has to be a way to fix this. Please HELP!

    It locks automatically when you hold it to your head.
    If it fails to do this, then remove the case and see if it solves it.
    If it does not, then do the basics - restart, reset, restore.
    If that does not solve it, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • How can you lock the screen on iPhone in iOS 7 while talking on the phone?

    I am struggling to figure out how to lock the screen of my iPhone 5 during a phone call. In iOS 6, I was able to push the top "on/off" button to lock the screen. In iOS 7, I am able to do this ONLY while using the speakerphone. If I push this button while talking on the phone regularly or using a headphone, it ends the call rather than locking the screen.
    I have found that I am muting calls and disconnecting calls accidentially with my "face" while holding the phone b/c the screen is so sensitive. Does anyone know a way around this?

    I dont know of a way round this, but im having the same issue of puttig people on hold when putting the phone up to my ear.
    This was an issue with the iphone 4 years ago and apple had to do an update to cure it

  • Can you lock touch screen when watching videos!??

    Can you lock the screen so it doesn't become a touch screen when watching videos!??
    Just got new ipod (7th gen) and this driving me crazy that I think I'm going to continue to use my older one unless there is a solution out there. I watch tv shows while commuting and while walking here or there I have to 'palm' the ipod or walk with it at my side, and the problem is that since the touch screen is sooooo sensitive I keep fwding/rewinding/swiping the screen to something else, and then to get back to that part in the video is a pain because unlike the older ipod you can just fwd a few secs, this one jumps minutes because it's so sensitive. PLEASE tell me there's a way to lock it from accidently touching it!

    No - there is no such switch on the iPad - the switches control volume, muting, screen rotation, and the home button itself.
    You could place it behind a screen of some sort so touching the outer screen won't affect the iPad screen - I've seen ads for 'presentation kiosk' type devices for the iPad that allow this, although I'm not sure how practical they would be in the backseat of a car.

  • Looking for an App to Lock the Screen while Playing a Movie

    I've been looking for either an app to lock the screen (not turn the screen off like the button on top of the phone) while playing a movie or a media player that will prohibit you from pressing buttons while a movie is playing. The reason I'm looking for this is my son likes to watch movies on my iPhone while we're in the grocery store, but I spend more time restarting the movie or navigating back to the iPod app and restarting the movie than he spends watching it! He likes to press the "done" button or home button which ends the movie. So an app that would prohibit that would be GREAT, but I haven't been able to find one so far. Any suggestions?

    An app will not be able to do this.
    Sorry.

    A. Only if the device is online.
    B. Only if you set up Find My Phone before the theft.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • Problems after upgrading to 4.2. Not able to lock the screen.

    I updated the software of my IPad to 4.2 yesterday and I can now not lock the screen, so it does not turn when moving the ipad. The button that I used to lock the screen now turns the audio off/on.
    Has anyone experience this problem and does anyone know how to solve it?
    Many thanks,
    Myra

    4.2.1 is designed to operate that way.
    The hardware switch does not turn the audio off/on. Rather, it turns the alerts (from email, etc.) on/off so that you can listen to music or movie sound without the annoying alerts.
    If you need to lock the orientation, tap the Home button twice. When the "Recent" tray appears slide it to the right. A software switch is at the extreme left.

  • The top button on my iphone 5 stopped working recently.. Well it works but barely at all if every. Most of the time it only locks the screen if I click on the left side of the button. Also my Camera causes a blue pixelated spot on pictures I take.

    The top button on my phone recently stopped working. Well sometimes. Majority of the time if I click it hard enough on the left side of the button it will lock the screen... Otherwise it doesnt work at all anymore. Also the camera appears to be placing a blue pixel on pictures I take. Its annoying. What should I do?

    It's completely situational. Without being able to directly compare the "scratch" on the original poster's iPhone with your iPhone, what gaamcc had happen could not be extrapolated to guess what Apple may do in your situation. It will depend entirely on what the Apple technician diagnoses after examining your iPhone. He/she may decide that any damage is strictly cosmetic and didn't have any connection with the problem you're taking your iPhone in for, or he/she may diagnose the problem as stemming from user damage. You'll just have to see when you go to the Apple Store.
    Regards.

  • Some how I have locked my Screen and it will not rotate.  I tried to unlock it double taping Home but it didn't unlock it.  I'm sure this an easy fix but I'm a new iPad 2 user.

    Some how I have locked the screen on my iPad 2 and can't get it to rotate.  I tried double tapping the Home key but it didn't make a difference.

    Double tapping the home button won't unlock your screens orientation.  Double tapp the home button and swipe the bottom row of apps that appear and swipe them to the right all the way until an icon appears on the left side.  It should be either a mute icon, or orientation icon.  Hopefully, since your screen is not rotating, it will be the screen lock.  Touch the icon and that should solve your problem.
