Switch control settings - prevented from using touch screen

I have turned on switch control and now managed to lock myself out of usdiong the screen all together.
Heres what i set: Settings > general > accessibility > switch control > switches > add new switch > full screen > scanner select item.
with switch control turned on i cannot use the screen at all.
i have tried asking sir to turn it off but he keeps saying "which setting" and triple clicking the home button brings up the switch contol header up but i am still unable to use the screen.
i have read that i can turn on voice control by asking siri, but that brings up a screen where i need to again use the screen.
occasionally i see a blue box travel oer the screen but i dont know how to use this or how to bring it up again.
has anybody got any ideas???

Found it.
For anyone who has this problem::
check this video http://youtu.be/2W3Z0kSiL7o
If you somehow turn on "Screen" select item, it renders any touch useless.
Here's what you can do, even if you have your phone password protected.
Use Siri to turn on Assistive Touch.
1. Hold down home button and ask siri: Turn on Assistive Touch
2. May have to send a second command: on.
Now your screen should be accessible.

How can I control an iPad from a touch screen which is mirroring the iPad screen

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!!

Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons. Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt. This has been a request from Apple users for many years. it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page. They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red. Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2. Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!
Help!

...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button. I think that is what you are referring to? Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device. It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
In any event...
I currently have two email accounts setup. My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
Mailboxes
Inboxes
All Inboxes
Gmail
[email protected]
Accounts
Gmail
[email protected]
I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts. Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums. I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too! One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away" Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device. I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions. There is ALWAYS a solution...
I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil. That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.

Capture a physical signature from a touch screen?

Is there a way to capture a physical signature from a touch screen PC, tablet, or phone and imbed that directly into an Acrobat fillable form without utilizing other devices or programs?
Thank you!

Hi Chandrika,
Please provide the details of the BADI you are using. In general you have to go to the methods in BADI and see which are all the fields associated with that method. In your case you have to search the field which captures the value entered by the user.
You can also check this by putting break point in GET_INSTANCE method of CL_EXITHANDLER class (Through SE24) and check in which field value entered by the user being captured and also you can find out the BADI involved.
Then you can go to SE19 and in the BADI you can find the relevant method.
Then you need to code in the relevant method and use the field which is capturing the value whereever you need.

Many warnings : prevented from using mac address because it is pinned to port

Hi
I am seeing my system log flooded (several per second) with event 28 warnings such as :
Port 'SWITCHPORT-SM-DB9DCFC7-E98D-438C-8998-CC0D9C14ED2B-1-1' was prevented from using MAC address '00-15-5D-00-B2-05' because it is pinned to port 'A0724966-695B-4552-B'.
Source : VMSMP
The environment is 2 X hyper-v 2008 r2 hosts. both have 4 NICs, 3 nics are connected to virtual switches and management OS is not allowed to share the network adapter, and then 1 NIC is obviously used by the host/mgmt OS and no virtual switch connected to
it. I am seeing the warnings on both hosts.
No load balancing or NIC teaming.
All VM's have their MAC addresses assigned dynamically and I cannot see any conflicting MAC addresses.
The warnings are logged for all or most of the MAC addresses and alternate between different "SWITCHPORT-SM-etc,etc" names.
Performance doesn't seem to be degraded, I've run continuous pings for more than an hour with no packet loss, just a single packet spike every now and then. Network access seems fine, Backup Exec 2012 jobs are succeeding, albeit somewhat slower than what
it was.
I don't know when it started, since these warnings have flooded out all else.
At first I thought it had something to do with a VM that I moved from one host to the other, where I copied the VHD accross and then created a new VM and assigned the original IP address to the new virtual NIC in the new VM. I then uninstalled the old hidden
NIC and restarted the VM in question, but that didn't stop the warnings.
Any ideas what could be causing this, or any tips on where I should start looking to isolate the cause ?

Got it fixed by creating new virtual switches, moving all VMs over to them, and afterwards deleting all the old virtual switches.
Still no idea what the cause could have been. How bizarre...

Is there a way to disable switching off the iPhone from the lock screen?

The reason i ask this is , if you are able to switch a phone off from a locked screen , it defeats the purpose of using the I cloud to track your stolen phone. Atleast if switching off is passcode protected, then you have time to track the phone, erase content etc till the battery runs out.

No sorry

Grey color cover the screen and can't use touch screen when trying to open the internet.

Pleas help, yesterday when I tried to open an website on my I pad 2 and there was a grey color cover the screen and I can't use touch screen, i still can see the internet is working in the back ground of the screen and the webpage was opend but I just can't make the grey color screen disappear. Thanks million.

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. 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 the 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.
Last thing to try is quit the app and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit Safari 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 the Safari 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.

5800 - V40 - Cannot answer call using touch screen

Hi,
Just upgraded to V40 on my 5800. Now when the phone rings I get 2 options on the touch screen:
1. Answer
2. Unlock
Neither work. I know I can use the buttons, but why have the other options on the screen if they don't work. What about the other options like silence or reject, or send message. All gone.
The new version is **bleep**.
Also, when I set an alarm, I can't silence it, or stop it using the touch screen.
This all seems to happen when the phone is locked, but if the phone is unlocked, I get the older options.
I don't know how I'm expected to unlock my phone just before someone rings me to enable me to have all the existing options, or wake up before my alarm in order to unlock the phone, so I can snooze or stop it.
Can something be done, or can I revert back to V31??
Thanks,
DOS.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

they aren't buttons , they are ARROWS. don't tap to answer or silence the alarm , just swipe your finger in the same direction of movements to answer or snooze or .... etc

Thanks

One question, does the touchscreen works on everything else?

Best wired solution to control an iMac from 2 other screens/KB/mice

Hi, I've got an iMac model 12,2 installed upstairs in my house and I want to be able to control it (use the OS and the data) from downstairs and from the attic, using a keyboard, a mouse a screen and speakers.
Both "consoles" will be used to avoid having to change floors to get something from the computer or to keep contact with who I'm chatting with. The downstairs' console will used to watch TV (via streaming or a USB TV tuner), watch movies (from the computer's files), and play video games (from the computer or from a standalone game console).
I'm not fond of wireless solutions such as WiFi because they are harmful. It also cannot rely on internet because it needs to work even when internet is down.
The dificulty is that 9 meters of cables and audio are required but the iMac's miniDisplayPort only outputs DVI or VGA (which don't support audio, Thunderbolt being out of question).
The way it looks now I would have to use (for each console) a DVI cable, an USB cable, a jack/optic cable and an amplifier in front of each of these.
In your experience what would be a good cheap solution ?
P.S. I will choose the screens depending on the type of cables that must be used.

"In your experience what would be a good cheap solution ?"
In my experience good solution is not cheap most of the times.
You will need professional installation to works the whole thing right with all these amplifiers and cables.
You have to be careful with electro-magnetic interference and Video-Audio sync.
DVI is better than VGA but you will find it only in computer monitors. TV Set has VGA and HDMI mostly.
I'm not sure about optical audio length limits.
Jack must be "ok" (not high expectations) for 10 meters if you use a good quality cable.
Version 2:
Thing about an iPad or even iPhone app (if you have an iPad/iPhone) to use as a mouse and keyboard via Wi-Fi. .
Video and audio still needs cables unless you can stream from iMac to Apple TV.
You will need 2 Apple TV devices so it is not cheap either and maybe not to fast for games.

Want to use touch screen in photoshop. Heard this is supported for new surface 3, is there any way to use it on any touchscreen laptop running windows 8.1?

Hi, I have the lenvo yoga 2 touch. I run windows 8.1, want to use touh facilities in photoshop. Can I do this yet? Heard surface 3 can due to special deal with adobe, will this be availble to all cc users or will there be extra charge etc. Any info appreciated. Sorry for bad english, late nights with little one!

Touch is available for all Windows 8 devices that support direct (on-screen) touch. Note: touch is only enabled of you are using open-gl, so the restriction is that your computer must be able to support open-gl/hardware accelerated drawing. You can download the trial version of Photoshop and try it out.

Vista Parental Control Settings to allow use of a networked iTunes library?

I just installed iTunes on a new Vista machine, and under a user account with no parental controls, I can access my main library on my XP machine on a local area network. However, as soon as I put on Parental Controls in Vista, iTunes running on the Vista will not allow me to access my main library on my XP machine. I get an error saying that I need to modify my Firewall (Defender) to allow access to the shared (networked) library.
Does anyone know if there are some basic settings in the Vista Parental Controls that I can change that will allow access to the shared iTunes library?
Thanks,
Paul

OK, I seem to have found a solution to this issue after looking around the web.
I did some experimentation with the allowed web site listing within Vista, and found that when I put the following allowed web sites/domains into my son's listing, I can keep parental controls running and allow him to access the iTunes store.
http://phobos.apple.com
http://phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
Actually, the second site is the one that is the one that enables the access, but the web posting that i found listed them both.
Good luck to all in providing a safe computing environment for their kids!

After i0s 7 update, can't use touch screen to close down open apps

Since updating my iPhone 4S yesterday (Sept. 26, 2013), I can no longer just hold my finger on an app to close it. It doesn't "jiggle" nor does the red <-> sign appear. When I lift my finger after waiting a while, it just re-opens that current apps window again.
I am on limited minutes, and now my internet, messages, facetime, etc will not shut down. I've restarted my phone hoping that might help, but all the apps are still open. Any ideas???
Thanks

Thank you for your answer
I did mean after double-tapping the home button, then holding the icon of the app you want to close until the red minus sign appears then touching it to close it. Previous to ios 7, this is how my iPhone closed open apps, now it has changed to the "swiping up" on the app, but I didn't know that till I posted this question and then saw someone else who also had asked this question and received this information, lol.
Thank you for taking the time to write.....
