Screen Lock on ipad

iTunes down loaded game centre onto my iPad and it has disabled my screen lock. How can it be fixed.

Well, read the article for sure. You really should at least skim through your User's Guide, also. iTunes didn't just download the Games Center app onto your iPad, and neither that app nor iTunes disabled anything.

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.)”

I have an iPad 2 and all of a sudden I have no sound in game apps. I have usual volume in videos and YouTube, I do get volume for games if I plug in headphones. I have switched to screen lock off and on again and I have also done a reset twice.....help :)

I have an ipad2 and all of a sudden I have stopped getting sound in my game apps. I get normal sound on YouTube and I player and downloaded DVDs. If I plug headphones in then I can get sounds for the games. I have switched the lock screen button off and on again and done a reset twice, can anyone help me with this?

Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings

HT4085 How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and side button on screen don't work? My cats do these things and the game disappears.

How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and the side button on the screen do not work? When my cats play a game on my ipad, they regularly swipe the screen and push the side button and the game disappears.

The button on the top that you use to lock and unlock or put to sleep is the power button. The button lower center of the screen is the home button...can be used to also wake from sleep and switch to the base home screen.
Good to hear you are now able to lock rotation, even if you are not sure how you did it
If you go to the iBook icon, tap Store in the uppper left side of the screen, you can search for the iPad User Guide...a free download that will place the guide in your iBooks library as a great source of background information.

Can anyone help me round this please. I have accidentally locked my ipad and despite having pass codes, and apple id's etc, it will not let me into any screen. It just opens up to "slide to open" and then does nothing. Help!

I have locked my ipad, don't know exactly how, but it was NOT from a wrong passcode. I think I accidentally touched the lock button in the little rollup screen at the bottom of the ipad. The ipad will not syn with the PC, I cannot get past the on button. It will not let me enter my passcode, nothing. Does anyone know how I can fix this please?

thank you so much. I have been fretting for hours and in one very quick response you have fixed it for me. Eternally grateful.

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.

The lock screen on my IPad zoomed in on itself. It is zoomed in so far that I can't unlock it, and I can't see the 'slide to power off' option. I've tried to reset it numerous times. Any suggestions?

Try double tapping the screen with three fingers to return to normal size. If it works go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

I can't lock my ipad screen.

I do not think that my lock screen button is spoiled but it does not lock my ipad screen. Has anyone encountered this problem before? i need some help.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Found a solution: Go to settings > general > accessibility. Turn on assistive touch. A white dote will appear in the corner of your iPad screen. Tap the white button > device > lock screen.

IPad screen locks itself and goes black when nudged? very frustrating

Hi, my IPad is driving me nuts! Can anyone help please?
I can be in the middle of anything ( games, apps, typing, banking, etc. etc.) and with the slightest movement or nudge - the screen locks itself and goes black??
I then have to press the home button, slide to unlock it - and it opens back up to exactly where I was.
This happens constantly, and is so frustrating!

Is there a case or screen protector that is possibly interfering with the proximity sensor (detects if the phone is near your face, allows the keypad/screen to be visible when the phone is away from your face)

Screen lock after updating to 8.2 (12D508) on iPad 2

Hi,
I have just updated my iPad 2 with 8.2 (12D508) and the screen is now locked in the portrait position. I have tried some work arounds e.g holding down both the on/off button and the Home button, toggling the screen lock on and off but to no avail. I have not had this problem with previous updates.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Recent iOS update has made my iPad 2 unusable. The screen locks up. It's very laggy and web pages do not load correctly. Is there a fix for this or are they even working on a fix.

Recent iOS update has made my iPad 2 unusable. The screen locks up. It's very laggy and web pages do not load correctly. Is there a fix for this or are they even working on a fix.

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Hello - can anyone tell me why my iPad (4th Gen) screen will no longer rotate. I don't have a screen lock symbol next to the battery icon. I have the rotate icon on my desktop but still can't get the screen to rotate.

Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right. Check the Rotation Lock on the far left of Task Bar.

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.

Ios7 added a screen lock password on my ipad??

My brother recently updated his ipad to ios7 and never had a screen lock password. But all of a sudden its asking for a password **** he has tried the usual 0000 etc but it disables itself for an hour or so..
has anyone had this problem & can help at all??

I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, there is no way to save your iPads files. You have to restore your iPad. Connect your iPad to your PC or MAC. Open iTunes (if you don't already have iTunes, then you can download it for free on the apple website. When you see your device in the top right hand corner, select it. Then select restore device. This will delete all files and settings and revert it back to factory mode.
