What is the keyboard shortcut to the lock screen?

Hi,
I am a macbook user and I want to know what is the shortcut to the lock screen on mac OS X?
please help!
thank you

YousefTa3lab,
there isn’t a default keyboard shortcut to the lock screen; perhaps a third-party app can provide one. Without a third-party app, you could open the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab, and check the “Require password after sleep or screen saver begins” checkbox. You can then open the Desktop & Screen Saver pane of System Preferences, select the Screen Saver tab, choose a screen saver, then press the Hot Corners… button, and set one or more active screen corners to Start Screen Saver — that will allow you to move your cursor into one of those corners to lock your screen.

My colleague recently synched his phone and now has a full keyboard on the lock screen. My lock screen keypad is set up like phone keys (alphanumeric). He's wondering why his is different, and he also now cannot unlock it. Anyone have this happen?

My colleague recently synched his phone and now has a full keyboard on the lock screen. My lock screen keypad is set up like phone keys (alphanumeric). He's wondering why his is different, and he also now cannot unlock it. Anyone have this happen? He came to me yesterday and I noticed that his iPhone 4 still had old software (version in the 4's), so I advised him that he needed to synch it up to get the iOS 5.1.1 version. He synched and now can't get back in. He was entering his passcode on the lock screen (which wasn't taking) and I noted to him that his screen didn't look like mine. Anyone know how to fix this issue, or does he have to do a full restore?

He has set up a complex password instead of a simple passcode for his phone. If he doesn't know what it is, he'll have to restore. There is no way around a forgotten passcode.

My apps and my phone freeze up during use and go back to the locked screen. What can I do?

Hi theora,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPhone help the issue?

If not, we may want to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes.

I just bought a new iPod and I have it set up the same as my other iPod but I can't get notification to show on the lock screen like my old one does. What can I do to fix this?

Hi.
What is the exact notification you are waiting? This could be possible that the device has already been opened once. Don't you think?

How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

You don't.
If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

I my ipod isn't letting me swipe in on the lock screen, and for now, i've given up on that, and i just got a new laptop. So what i'd like to do is not worry about getting in my ipod, but to plug it in my computer and get my music off of it.

You don't have to purchase it again, but you do have to download it. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

My 4th gen. iPod Touch is zoomed really zoomed in at the lock screen and will NOT zoom out. What the **** is wrong???, My 4th gen. iPod Touch is zoomed really zoomed in at the lock screen and will NOT zoom out. What the **** is wrong???

Just what it says. I was using my iPod, everything was fine, I locked it, put it down on the table for a few minutes, picked it back up, and when I clicked the lock button the lock screen came up totally zoomed in. ***. I discovered I could move around the screen by touching a direction and it was dragged across. I got to the unlock slider and the little button that you slide across took up the entire width of the screen. Once again, ***. It let me drag it across, but it's impossible to type in my unlock combination as it requires me to click on wrong numbers in order to drag it to the ones I need. I also shut it down completely 3 times. It starts up normal, but the lock screen is frozen for a few seconds, then zooms in way far. ***????? Please someone help me out here, I've never seen any iPod do this...

use 3 fingers and double tap
then turn off zoom at settings>general>accessibility

Would there be any particular reason why my iPad will not join my wireless internet at home but my iPhone and Macbook are joined? I thought that sign was hindering the connect but that is completely unrelated.

What are the lock modes in Lock object

What are the lock modes in Lock object ?
what are the divfferences between
Exclusive , cumulative
Shared
Exclusive , not cumulative
Could any body explain what happens in each table lock ?
How the lock consists ?

HI
Lock objects are used to synchronize access to the same data by more than one program.
The lock mode controls whether several users can access data records at the same time. The lock mode can be assigned separately for each table in the lock object. When the lock is set, the corresponding lock entry is stored in the lock table of the system for each table.
There are three types of lock modes
1.Exclusive
2.Shared
3.Exclusive not cummulative
Exclusive lock: The locked data can only be displayed or edited by a single user. A request for another exclusive lock or for a shared lock is rejected.
Shared lock: More than one user can access the locked data at the same time in display mode. A request for another shared lock is accepted, even if it comes from another user. An exclusive lock is rejected.
Exclusive but not cumulative: Exclusive locks can be requested several times from the same transaction and are processed successively. In contrast, exclusive but not cumulative locks can be called only once from the same transaction. All other lock requests are rejected.

Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to display your Control Panel. You will see the Orientation Lock icon in the top right. Tap on this to toggle Orientation Lock on or off.

Can I connect a wired keyboard to my iPhone 5S while stuck on the lock screen? (Need answers ASAP)

My iPhone's screen is unusable/broken on the right side of it so I can't enter the passcode on it and I can't access the Notification Center or the Control Center. Touch ID and Siri is disabled until I can enter the passcode and iTunes won't let me back it up until I enter the passcode. I have a replacement iPhone 5S here, but I want to restore it with the backup so I don't lose all of my stuff.
I was wondering if anyone knows if I can connect a wired keyboard to my iPhone while on the lock screen before I go and spend the money on one?
I was looking at something like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Belkin-B2B115-Wired-Keyboard-for-Apple-iPad-with-Light ning-Connector/35255242
Unless anyone knows anything else I can try?

Are you serious... only bluetooth keyboards? Even if the keyboard has the lightning connector? This supposedly works on the iPhone: http://store.griffintechnology.com/wired-keyboard-for-ios-devices
