What does the icon of a padlock serounded by a 3/4 circle ending in an arrow mean ?

Iphone 4 now has an icon next to battery. Is a lock surrounded by a 3/4 circle with an arrow on one end, what does this icon mean ?

Portrait lock. Double click the home button to bring up the multi-tasking tray, swipe to the right and you will see the same thing there. Click it once to turn it off, it toggles between off /on.

  • 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.

  • What does the icon on my battery mean?

    Hi NicolasMansour,
    What's your phone's model? If this is for a Windows phone, can you verify if this  is the icon that you're seeing? If yes, that means the battery power or state of the battery isn't known at the current time. See: What do the icons on my phone mean? If you're referring to a different phone or a different icon, would you mind telling us its model and sending us a screenshot so we can further check?
    We look forward to your reply. BTW, congratulations on your first post.

  • 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 of a folder with a question mark inside mean?

    After an overnight power outage I tried to turn on my iMac this morning, but all I got was clicking sounds and a gray full screen with the icon of a folder with a question mark inside it, blinking. (There's no tool bar that appears anywhere). What does that mean?
    I've tried unplugging the system and waiting a while before attempting another boot. Same screen.
    I recently (a month ago) upgraded to Snow Leopard from my original OS X software. Never had this sort of a problem before.The iMac was purchased around 2005 or 2006. Intel Dual Core processor.
    Thanks for any help on this.

    Thanks, Paul, for the prompt reply.Obviously, your answer isn't what I wanted to hear, but feared. When I get home tonight I'll try finding the install disk and booting from that. Fortunately, I still have a MacBook Pro that is running fine.  Incidentally, I have a Western Digital external Hard Drive that has very little, if anything on it. But since I can't open anything on the iMac, I guess I'll have to see if the install disk works before I try to figure out IF I can use that WD-External drive temporarily rather than replace the HD on the iMac. Any clues on what a replacement drive and labor runs for that sort of iMac repair?

  • What does the icon in the right hand corner of some movie clips mean.

    I have my movie almost done but now I find many of the clips have a small screen looking icon in the right hand top corner of the clip.  I can't delete those.  What does it mean and where do I get rid of it?

    Can you post a screen-cap, showing that icon in question? This ARTICLE will give you one workflow for screen-caps.
    Good luck,

  • What does the icon on the top of the screen of the ipod touch that looks like a lock with a circle around it mean?, What does the icon on the top of the screen of the ipod touch that looks like a lock with a circle around it mean?

    So at the top of my screen like where the time is... there is this symbol that looks like a lock with a circle around it. It is next to the battery icon. What does this mean?

    It's the screen orientation lock. It prevents the screen from switching between portrait and landscape views when you turn the iPod.
    To engage or disengage this feature, double click the home button. This will bring up the multitasking tray. Swipe all the way to the left until you see the iPod controls, then tap the gray icon with the lock on it. This will toggle the feature on and off.

  • 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 Box with a Down Arrow do?

    When I open certain messages, at the bottom toolbar instead of a trash can icon I get an icon that looks like a moving box with a arrow pointing down. When I have accidentally pressed it the message disappears. I cant find it in any folder or location? Any ideas what happens to the emails?

    I noticed this new icon appeared after the latest iPhone IOS4 update. From my experience, clicking on that icon throws the email into the "filters" I've created in Gmail on my desktop computer. I'm not sure how it would respond if I didn't have a filter for a particular email. I think another forum user mentioned it gets dumped in the "all mail" folder. Not sure how that would be helpful. If someone from Apple could give us the textbook definition of this new icon and it's use, I'd appreciate it.

  • What does the icon beside the project name indicate

    There is an icon beside the project beside some of the project names.  No amount of hovering over it, seems to reveal any kind of tooltip or explanation as to what it indicates.  Any ideas?

    Additionally, related to that, if you highlight that Project, go to the Inspector, and look in the Shared section, it'll show you a list of all the Exported (Shared) files you've made from that project.  The same icon there indicates that exported file has been moved or deleted.  You can click on the magnifying glass icon to open a Finder window showing the location of that export (only if it's still in tact).

    If I block a number . What response does that party get if they call or text my number?

    The call/message simply won't go through. If iMessage, it will show as delivered, but it actually won't be delivered.
    Here's what it sounds like on their end, for calls:
