The brightness symbol appears on the desktop when the screen is locked on a periodic basis

No, the Bluetooth symbol is different. Here is a simple trick that solves many minor glitches...
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
This is equivalent to restarting your computer. No data is lost. Keep it in your bag of tricks for when these things come up.

Strange symbols appear on my desktop, producing even stranger results!

Strange symbols appear on my desktop, producing even stranger results!

These symbols are for short cuts. could be a command to move text insertion point to beginning of document or if you have been in system preferences keyboard and clicked on the modifier key and set one of the options it would be for setting cap lock. Don't know why you are showing a screen shot of it. Have you clicked on it. Have you been doing any work with documents. You could go to disk utilities and repair permissions or do an pram reset. Command/Option?P/R while holding down the power button for three chimes and release.

You must restore it with iTunes.
Try placing the iPod Touch into recovery mode.

This sometimes happens if you have a case or screen protector on the phone. IF you have one of these remove it and see if it makes any difference

Hello Wexxwoxx,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that after you updated to iOS 8.2, while typing a message your iPhone seems to be locking itself. In this situation, there are a couple of different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend.
First, I would suggest closing the Messages application completely by using the instructions in the attached article below.
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
After the Messages app is closed, I would recommend resetting your iPhone using the instructions in the next attached article. After the reset, open Messages fresh and attempt to use as you normally would.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart. No content will be affected.

Reset. Hold down Power and Home button until Apple logo appears. Ignore "Slide to Power off" message.
Then go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Backup now.

How can I get the screen to lock on my iPhone 4, so I don't press buttons while talking?

I just upgraded to the iPhone 4. When I am talking on the phone, the screen doesn't lock, so I am constantly pressing buttons or hanging up on the person I'm talking to. How can I get the screen to lock while I'm talking? It's driving me NUTS.

The otterbox is one of the culprits. Take the phone out of the case and see if it still happens. If so it is not the case. If the problem goes away, then you may need to make the hole slightly larger. My family has three iPhone 4's in otterboxes and none have this problem. Other users on this forum have reported success with the above methods.

how can I unlock my ipod touch? The screen is locked and has various languages on the sliding bar. the screen is grey and the normal screen saver is gone.

As a first attempt, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons untl the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

Have you tried resetting your iPhone?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

Ok, well I had the network support guy down, when I mentioned an "OD Server" he went into Directory Access and put some details in that seem to have fixed the problem! So thanks for that...
Unfortunately, it looks like some of the other machines in the room might need binding, but at least the network team is aware of it.
Whereabouts would I look for ARD crash logs on the affected iMac? I tried locking/unlocking the screen again after the other issue was fixed and had the same problem. Its almost instant - as soon as you hit "lock" the status immediately switches to "ARD Not Active".

Downloaded the recent software update and now the screen is locked up with the apple icon

downloaded the recent software update and now the screen is locked up with an apple icon

Well I am having the same issue and I had not had to worry about getting a "licensed charger." The poster who responded offered not real insite and was rude to boot. I am also looking for the fix on this . My iphone will not even charge now on any charger. What the heck. I am not trying to treaten anyone either when I say I am frustrated with my iphone which in my case I have only had for a few months. I have already sent one in to be replaced and this is my second one. I have had troubles since the update GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR .
