What does the icon mean?

Kai so it's been on ipod for a month or so and I have no clue what it is. Its placed next to the battery icon. It looks like a lock with an arrow circling it. Any ideas ? I don't have any other icons up there (exluding the battery one of coarse).
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kathleen.

Screen orientation lock. Allows you to have the device ignore gravity. Press the home button twice to bring up the running/recent apps section at the bottom of the screen, then swipe to the right to display the iPod quick access controls. The lock button is at the left of this group of controls.

  • What does the icon with the red circle with a square inside (much like a power button) mean?

    I've copied much of my home CD collection to iTunes but some of the albums will not play.  They are shown in my libraries but when opened each song in the album has a redcircle with a square inside icon displayed.  When I go to play an album with the red icons listed next to each song the app quickly scans through the list of songs - no audio and that's it.
    What does this icon mean?  And how can I correct the problem?

  • What does the icon next to the location icon mean? It has a lock with an arrow circling it.

    What does the icon next to the left of thelocation icon mean and to the right of the time? It has a lock with an arrow circling it. Thanks

    It's the portrait orientation lock.  When on, and that icon showing, the screen won't rotate to landscape view when you rotate the phone. 
    To turn it off - double click the home button to show the recently opened apps bar, slide it to the right showing the iPod controls and the Portrait Orientation Lock on the left.

  • IMac with Lion. I have an icon on the dock for Fluenz software but it has a white circle around it with a white slash through it (like the international "no" sign).  What does the circle mean?

    I have an iMac using Lion. I have an icon on the dock for Fluenz software but it has a white circle around it with a white slash through it (like the international "no" sign).  What does the circle mean?  The Fluenz software seems to work ok.

    Checkout the software vendor's website for updates:

    Your only other option is to boot from an OS X 10.6 system.

  • HT1535 what does the cloud mean for my movies

    For my ipad, I have a few movies I want on it.  Most of my movies have a cloud in the corner and I do not want them on my ipad.  What does the cloud mean?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store>Show All>Videos>Off. The movies with the cloud icon are movies in the cloud and they should disappear when you do what I posted.

  • What does this icon mean and what does it do?

    Hi all!
    I wonder what does the icon in the bottom middle do: http://bildr.no/view/738173
    If it is some sort of an archive function where does the e-mails go then? I can not find them anywhere...
    Message was edited by: AlexSasha

    Some e-mail servers (like Google if you're using IMAP, which is the default iPhone setup for Google) don't allow you to delete messages via the iPhone Mail app. It basically moves the message from the inbox to Archive (or at least to the All Mail Folder).
    For POP3 e-mail, the iPhone does allow you to delete the messages.

  • What does the "S" mean in reference to lenses? EF-S vs EF lens?

    I have both a digital camera, the 60D, and recently acquired an EOS 1N 35mm film camera.  I have bought lenses for my 60D but not the 1N film camera....was told that my 18-55mm lens for my 60D would not be interchangeable with the 1N?  So, EF-S vs EF lens, what is the S and what does it indicate?   What does the "S" mean in reference to lenses?  EF-S vs EF lens? 
    Thanks.....I am just getting started in photography and do not know all the different terms....
    James

    In the simlpest of terms think of the S as standing for SMALL sensor. The sensor in crop bodies is much smaller in physical size than the area your film camera needs covering with when the shutter opens. An EF S lens won't allow light to cover the full area in the film or FF body. This allows smaller & cheaper lenses but at the expense of limiting their use.

  • What does the ~ symbol mean next to an event?  I have never seen this before but today when I edited a few events this appeared next to the event.

    What does the ~ symbol mean next to an event?  I have never seen this before but today when I edited a few events this appeared next to the event.

    Greetings,
    Hm. I've never seen that in iCal.  In some other Applications the tilde "~" indicates a restore point or a before / after for a file.  My guess is there is a broken cache file in iCal.
    Try:
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region. Region should be set to the country of your choice. Do not have it set to "Custom" as this can have unexpected results in the iCal window.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue:
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    --- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
    4. Launch iCal and test.
    If the issue persists:
    1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    --- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

  • What does the message mean time capsule already in use when it refueses to backup?

    What does the message mean time capsule already in use when it refueses to backup?

    Just the network is cranky..
    Simple first step.. restart the TC.. ie unplug the power cord.. count to 10.. plug it back in.
    Second step if that fails.. restart the network.. off everything.. restart in order.. modem.. TC.. clients 2min gap.
    Finally if you are prepared to fight you can load 5.6 utility onto Mountain Lion and do a disconnect all users.. or a few other ways.. turn off file sharing and turn it back on.
    The issue being TM did not dismount the sparsebundle correctly.
