The lock screen and password can be breached through the camera icon

If you hold down the camera icon on the lock screen, the camera app will launch gaining you access to the phone and it's programs and security. How do you fix this???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It will take a picture but will not let you into the media files or directories, nor into the share menus. I didn't try for a very long time but I couldn't break out of it.

Have you tried restoring to Factory Default (setup as new).

LauraAnn41,
Help is our middle name! So let's jump into troubleshooting right away. Have you tried holding the power button and home key simultaneously for up to 30 seconds as an alternate reset? Please give that a shot and let us know how it goes.

If notifications are set to "view in lock screen," and I can swipe to access the app, does that mean I then can access everything without logging on?

I'm concerned with security, so I wonder if by setting my notifications OFF to "view in lock screen" I can then gain access to all other apps as well. That would seem to trade security for convenience. Or does that permit access ONLY to the one app that sent the notification?

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

The screen on my Ipod touch stopped working. Its stuck on the lock screen and u can't turn it off. what should i do?

I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

Turn the MBP off by holding the power key for 10+ seconds.
Reset the SMC and the NVRAM:

I my ipod isn't letting me swipe in on the lock screen, and for now, i've given up on that, and i just got a new laptop. So what i'd like to do is not worry about getting in my ipod, but to plug it in my computer and get my music off of it.

You don't have to purchase it again, but you do have to download it. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

My iPod 5th generation is stuck on the lock screen and I tried restarting it 4 times and it continues to get stuck on the lock screen. What do I do.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

An unknown picture not on my photo roll has appeared on my lock screen and I can't get rid of it in wallpaper settings.

By chance my ipad ran out of charge, and when I charged it the offending picture had disappeared so it is now ok.
Does anyone have an idea how this happened in the first place as I am concerned how it got on my ipad.

You go to http://me.com/find/ on your computer.
On your iPad, you use the free Find my iPhone app from the AppStore.
