What is that lock icon

OK - what does that padlock icon on the bottom of the itunes screen mean and how do I get rid of it. I have tried to download some songs on my ipod, but when I am in my ipod on itunes, that padlock comes on and the songs will not play, either on my itunes or the ipod. What the heck is going on!

All it means, is you iPod is set for automatic updating.
If you change it to manual, the lock will go away.

  • The old status bar showed a lock icon when on a secure site - where is that lock icon in vers 4?

    The status bar was along the bottom of the window. At the right end of that bar, a lock icon would appear when you are on a secure site, like banking or bill pay. With the status bar now gone, where do I see that lock icon?

    The padlock is no longer a part of Firefox; it can give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site. Familiarize yourself with the '''''Site Identity Button''''' in Firefox:

  • Dumbest newbie question ever! What's that menu icon called?

    Hi,
    Sorry for being so lame, but I can't figure out the name of the image on the menu so I can read how to work with it.
    For example, if I take a clip and drop it into the Basic graphical view as a new item, it defaults to the first frame of video as the image on the main menu. What's that image called and how do you change it to another image in the clip?
    Some applications call that image the poster frame or the clip icon.
    Thanks so much for your patience!

    Sounds like you are referring to a drop zone (you may have dragged it in and made a button or someething ellse from the dialog?)
    Anyway highllight the button or drop zone and then use the inspector to set the in point.
    One the drop zone you can drag to start frame (there are no tabs), in the button it is under style tab
    If you press F3 key you will see this setup

  • What does the lock icon on the iPod Touch in the upper right corner mean?

    Wbat does the lock icon in the upper right corner of the iPod Touch mean?
    How is it used?

    That means your iPod is locked, or will not rotate the screen when you rotate your iDevice. To turn it off, you double-tap the home button, swipe to the right and you'll see the same icon, but bigger. Tap that.
    That's all! Simple as 123!

  • What is that monochrome icon again?

    Folks,
    I know this is trivial but there's a somewhat new monochrome GNOME icon that many third-party icon sets seem to miss - it's for a USB device that is larger than 8.0 Gib so it does not get a pendrive monochrome icon in Nautilus but not big enough to get a external HD one.
    What is the name of this particular icon so we can tweak our icon themes to make Nautilus show the correct monochrome icon?
    I'm attaching two Nautilus screenshots - one with the default gnome theme and another with gnome-colors. The device in particular is called "NIPPONIC" and I circled the 'out-of-place' icon.

    All it means, is you iPod is set for automatic updating.
    If you change it to manual, the lock will go away.

    This little thing is called Favicon and is an 16x16px .ico file that you can easily generate here, for example: http://www.favicon.cc/
    Afterwards just upload it to your root directory on the remote server. Simple as that

  • What happened to the lock icon when using SSL? Cannot easily determine SSL use without using sniffer.

    The SSL lock icon does not appear in new Firefox 4 during use of SSL. Why was it removed? Only method of determining successful SSL use is through the use of a sniffer and netstat. There is no obvious lock anywhere in the browser while using SSL
    ALSO.... STOP CHANGING THE ORDER OF THE OPEN NEW TAB/OPEN NEW WINDOW UNDER THE FILE->list.

    The "Site Identity button", which provides a lot more pertinent information about a web site, was introduced in Firefox 3, and was used along with the "Security Lock icon"; that "Lock icon" was finally removed from Firefox 4 versions. <br />

  • Lock icon on music

    What does the lock icon on my songs mean? It seems that every time I try to use on of the 'locked' songs, it completely messes up my slideshow. Can I get rid of the locks?

    Don't know if the circumstances are the same but...
    I found this happened to my "purchased" music when I had ITunes and iPhoto on different drives.
    The first slide is timed to last for ages, then all the other slides progress very quickly to catch up.
    I took the cheats way out and simply cycled my slideshow music to a CD and re imported it into iTunes from that CD.
    It then no longer showed as "purchased" and worked fine with my slide shows.
    I presumed it was something upseting the rights management as I was working with an external drive.
    Cheers,
    David.

  • Lost the Lock Icon on my Network

    My network keeps losing the lock icon that displays with the network name. I think this is happening with power shortages or outages.  I have checked the settings online and it says WPA Preshared Key.  Is the network still secure????  I have a WRT54G wireless router.

    Well in this case it should not happen but if it is happening try to change the Security mode of the Router i.e open the Router setup page.. Goto wireless tab,click on wireless security sub tab and change the security mode....
    Then Save the settings... After doing these settings observe that lock icon shows up or not...
    Secondly if you see it is showing WPA Preshared Key then yes it is well secured network..

  • What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book?

    What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book? And how do I get out of it?

    The Finder is just assigning the wrong kind and icon to what I presume are plist files. Often rebuilding the Launch Services will cure this, but sometimes Finder gets a strange bee in its bonnet about some particular combination of characteristics and what they mean, and it can't be dissuaded. Unless you are opening plist files, and get really annoyed when you double click one and Address Book launches and announces "wrong type of file" you can just ignore it. In my own ~/Library/Prefences folder plists are generally labeled correctly, probably because I have them assigned to open with Apple's own Property List Editor. But there are some other preferences that Finder has decided are something altogether different than what they are: WingNuts Prefs and Saved Games are both believed to be Eudora preferences; a whole batch of other prefs from a dozen differenct programs are described as TextWrangler preferences, and there's a another group thought to be Unix Executables. As long as the program they belong to isn't having a problem finding and writing to them, don't worry about it.

  • What has happened to the 'little lock icon' that tells me site safe?

    There used to be a 'little yellow lock' icon at the bottom of the browser page when I did my banking or when I logged in on ebay etc.. This icon let me know it was safe to use the page/site. When I updated to Firefox 6.0.2. for Windows English the yellow lock icon no longer appears. What has happened to it? Is it there and I need to retrieve some how or have you done away with it...and why?

    In Firefox 4 and later you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
    The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
    So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br />
    The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.
