Thinkpad R series lock icon on screen

Hi there, when I reboot my laptop, i get two small icons on the top left hand corner, one of a screen or computer symbol, the sscond is a lock icon, then a prompt for a password or pin. Anyone know how to disengage the lock? And perhaps why it pops up after so many years? Just for info, I'm running windows 7 on a Thinkpad R61. All help appreciated.

My guess is that you always had a supervisor password, and the CMOS battery has died, so you are being required to set the date and time

Song titles are greyed out, lock icon on screen in itunes

I'm trying to copy fies to my iPod through iTunes and it seems to be locked. It's successfully connected to iTunes and I see my iPod name/library, however all of the songs are greyed out and theres a lock icon near the bottom of the screen next to the Free 27.13 GB (lock icon next to that).
Is something wrong with my iPod or iTunes? Please help.

That is normal if you are set for auto-syncing the iPod.
If you change it to manual mode, the little lock icon goes away.

Can you lock icons on screen.

My 2year old rearranges my icons for apps is there a way to look the screen?

I replaced my screen and it function properly. After I did a function check I turn my computer off and then turned it back on and it just stop workin. The computer does not turn on at all.Did I mess up my battery or something. Has this happend to anyone before?????

You could have shorten something.
Try to remove the battery and start again. But before remove battery, press power button fpor 40 seconds and try to start the machine without the battery in the machine. If that doesn't work ask Lenovo to help you. Self replacement isn't covered by warranty tho.

"lock" icon on top of view screen

i have a "lock" icon on top of my view screen; the "hold" button is not "on" but i'm not able to turn "on" my ipod; i noticed the "lock" icon when i plugged ipod into my computer; when not plugged into computer, ipod screen is blank and doing the "reset" process does not work;
I can't find any information in the support/training guide that refers to the "lock" icon; it shows other icons and what they mean, but nowhere do i find a pic of the "lock" icon and its definition.
Please help...

The lock on an iPod screen is displayed when the hold switch is on, it sounds like yours is stuck in the on position. Try toggling it back and forward to see if that will release it. If the problem continues contact Apple or your retailer:

Pad - LOCK icon in Upper Right Corner of Screen - How did it get there??

When I start my Mac (G5-10.4.11) for the first time I have an icon of a pad-lock in the upper right hand corner of my screen and appears in the 'closed or locked' position. I don't know how it got there. I think it has something to do with 'Keychain' but not sure. When I open Entourage (2008) to check my email for the first time following a boot sequence, Entourage asks me for a keychain password and after entering the password, the pad-lock icon in the upper right corner now indicates an 'open' or unlocked condition. I don't have to do this again as long as my computer stays on. I've tried changing the access setting in Keychain to 'ignore' Entourage and Keychain but it still asks me for a keychain password following a re-boot. What did I do to get the pad-lock icon there in the first place? And, how can I turn OFF that 'pad-lock' and not appear on my startup screen? I have another hard drive in my computer that I boot from occasionally and the "pad-lock' icon does not appear on my startup screen and I can check Entourage without entering any keychain password. I really don't need password protection on my home computer, it's very annoying every time I check my Entourage email.
Thanks,
Bill

Check "Keep login keychain unlocked" in the "First Aid" tab of Keychain Access (Utilities folder).
In the "General" tab, uncheck "Show Status in Menu Bar".

Have a "lock" icon on my screen

Please help!!!
At first I had forgotten my admin password and made numerous attempts. Then I tried to reboot my macbookpro by pressing " command S" numerous attempts but it failed to reboot as well. Since I had forgotten my master password as well I had attempted to reboot my computer by pressing the " option" key. Now I have a huge lock icon on my screen. What do I do????

Open Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and tap on the highlighted Lock screen icon.

Lock icon at bottom of iTunes screen when iPod connected and selected -grey

I'm a longtime Mac and iPod man trying to get ipod working for friend who has Dell laptop and XP.
Have downloaded and installed latest Windows software for both iPod and laptop.
Problem
iPod is recognised, but I can do very little with it in iTunes. Items get greyed out, iPod screen often returns to internal menus (that is appears as if iPod is disconnected) and strangest of all (for me ) is that a lock icon appears at bottom of iTunes screen in line where iPod capacity is shown. Have reset iPod, restarted computer, iTunes etc. no change.
Here's the thing - same problem when connected to my iMac G5!
Any suggestions welcome.

Got my answer from nice chap with a Windows machine!
It was because iPod was in autosync mode which I have never used myself since I have way too much stuff in iTunes.

What you do mean a lock icon?
On the whole screen or just in the status bar where it shows "iPod" and Time/Battery?
If the icon's there everything's ok. The feature was removed in iOS 6, anyways, the icon should be only in the lock screen.

I resently purchased an ipad and i think i could help. Does it look like a plug and itunes? Thats what came up on mine. Try pluging it into your laptop and go on itunes. They say the new ipad with ios5, you dont need your computer, then i cant help you there. But go to an apple store they are very helpful. They helped me recently and they are very nice. They could help anyone, from old people, to youngsters like myself. I hope i helped you. I tried my best :)......keep in mind, im only 12
P.s. i purchased my ipad before ios 5

Lock icon by battery, safari won't work, covered by grey screen

lock icon by battery. saferi locked. How do I turn lock off?

The lock icon by the battery gauge means that the screen rotation is locked. Read this and the article in the link.
First check the side switch on the side of the iPad above the volume control. Try flipping the switch the other way.
If that switch did not unlock the screen, then do this. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. Swipe all the way to the right in the task bar. Look all the way on the left side and see if there is a lock icon there. If so, tap it and see if the lock icon disappears.
You can set the side switch to either mute system sounds or to lock the screen. Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Lock Rotation or Mute. Whichever function you choose for the side switch, the other function will be available in the task bar.
Read this about the side switch.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
For this issue with Safari try these steps.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. In iOS 4.3 - 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 - quit Safari - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps 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 any app 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.
Finally - if nothing else works - 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.
