Virus try to brute-force my unlock screen pin on iPad immediately after FaceTime call redirect

Hi all!
I guess there could be exploit in FaceTime/call redirection proto. It's the 3rd time when I see my iPad is flashing with digits brute-forcing pin code to unlock screen and does not react on any touch or buttons.
The scenario is as following:
1. I receive a call on iPhone
2. Call is redirected to iPad via FaceTime
3. After call is answered from iPhone, iPad do not fall into sleep
4. iPad does slide to unlock!
5. iPad start flashing with digits (it looks the same when you tapping and after any touch digit flashes). The sequence is traditional: 1111,1211,1221,etc,etc...
6. Finally iOS blocks pin entering with timeout and iPad back to normal operations, reacts on buttons and touches.
I talk about iPad2/iPhone4S running latest iOS 8.3.
If anybody get the same problem, please write here.

What you describe sounds more like a problem with your iPad's touchscreen than a hack. There's no known method for brute-forcing the lockscreen code in that manner.
Note that the sequence you describe isn't really "traditional"... the only digits you describe as being used are 1 and 2, which are right next to each other... a problem with the touchscreen in that region could easily explain that. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the screen. If that doesn't help, contact Apple for diagnosis and service.

How to force the unlock screen Keyboard layout as default?

Hello BB Experts, is there a way to force the unlock screen keyboard layout as the default keyboard layout for everything in my Z30 (except the dial pad). I really love the unlock screen keyboard layout with the top numeric row. Thanks!

Hi RWD2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Why is the unlock-screen of my iPad mini showing black or blue lines?

3 days ago, i bought an iPad mini at the apple store. Everything is working perfectly, but ever since I first started it, I'm noticing some black or blue lines at the bottom of the screeen on the unlock screen. They disappear after one second.
I already updated to the latest version, and I did a hard-reset, but this didn't help.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

HI i have the same issue with my ipad mini retina. it appeared too out of nowhere after more than a month of using it. my device wasn't dropped or exposed to any liquid substance. At first only a single line appeared and then it grew to this. How did you fix yours? did you return it?

Screen flickers on ipad 2 after unlocking

Sometimes, when I unlock my ipad 2 (running latest os) the screen gives a little flicker and then all runs just fine. Is this something I should worry about?

A reboot won't do any good. You need to restore using recovery mode.

Screen not coming back on after phone call??!!

this is a brand new 3g phone. And I have had a 1st Gen iPhone from the original release date.
However, when I make a call and put the phone to my ear, the screen goes black as it should. But upon the conclusion of the call the screen does not come back on until I have locked it and unlocked it again!!
Has this happened to anyone else?

Same thing here!! I was calling my wife and it happened 3 times in a row in a matter of minutes. I rebooted the phone and it went away. Hasn't crept up on me again, yet (knock on wood).
I don't know whether it makes a difference and whether they are technically the same, but I upgraded the firmware that was released 07/10/2008 that is from Apple's Servers from version 5A345 to 5A347 just to see if this fixed any last minute glitches.
I hope this problem never surfaces again. We all paid a lot for these and spent a lot of time waiting for activation.

How do I unlock screen rotation?

How do I unlock screen rotation on iPad 1?

Depending upon what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation either by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

When I try to open I Movie the screen appears with the message creating thumbnails and all my projects have disappeared. Then everything freezes and I have to force close my Macbook Pro

When I try to open I Movie thes screen appears with the message "creating thumbnails" and then freezes. None of my events or projects appear in the libraries. I cannot close I Movie or my computer and have to force shut down my Macbook. This is a sudden occurence.

You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and it strews stuff all over your hard drive in places the migration assistant is not programmed to look. Now you will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
after which you can go around and manually remove all the bits from Applications, the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help with this; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files.
Then you can reinstall from scratch. Let us know if you need help finding the library folders.

7 day view of Calendar Events on the Slide to Unlock Screen???

Does anyone agree that an option to view Calendar of Events on the Slide to Unlock Screen would be a quick and easy way to review your next events and appointments?

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 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.

I can no longer view my photos through th photo icon. There is not an icon on my "slide to unlock" screen that when touched starts a slide show of my photos. How do I turn that off so I can access my photos as before?

Oroilore-
I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon. I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off. The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted. If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Have you synced this phone, with iTunes, while the passcode was enabled? If so, plug it in, iTunes running, & hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane. This will also erase the phone.
However, if you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will not be able to do this without first enereting the passcode. If that's the case, try recovery mode:
