What is the lock and circle on the i phone at the top of the phone.

what is the lock and circle on the top of the iphone 4s?

Orientation Lock.  Swipe up from off the bottom of the screen to access Control Center.  Turn it on/off from there.
See p. 12-13 of the User Guide.
Edit: If you're truly on iOS6, follow ckuan's advice.

  • What is BPMN Lock and Unlock?

    Hi,
    I tried to get some help on BPMN lock and unlock to understand if this can be used for check out and checkin model for version controlling.
    Can any one please clarify?
    regards,

    Hi,
    Implicit version control is not supported in the current release, but it will be supported in Release 11 (upcoming release).
    In 10.1.3.4 the model gets locked while editing (user A). If user B wants to open the same model he can have only read access to it. Therefore different versions of processes have to be maintained in an external source control system (for now). In this context it might be helpful for you to investigate the XML-Import/Export functionality combined with an external CVS.
    Additionally, models and databases can be manually released and versioned in ARIS using the appropriate attributes (as per project conventions). Please have a look to my post at Re: Control Version and see if it helps to get some ideas for your requirements.
    Best regards,
    Danilo.

    What is the lock symbol with the circle around it in the upper right hand side of screen and what does it mean?

    Thank you. 
    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.

    You mean the Control Center.  As was said ...slide up with your thumb from the home button and a gray box should open (i.e. Control Center).  There you can turn the orientation lock Off or On.  You can also use the Flashlight or turn Bluetooth on or off, and other functions.

    It is the orientation lock. To de-activate, double click the home button and scroll to the left until you see the same lock within a circle. Tap it to turn off the lock

  • Bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?

    I bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it by connecting it to my computer and pressing the home and sleep buttons at the same time, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?
    When I try connecting it to my computer itunes opens and says I cannot connect to the ipod because it is disabled, enter passcode on ipod. The ipod is locked and disabled and will not allow me to try and put in a passcode, which I wouldn't be able to do because I have no idea what it might have been.
    I downloaded the newest version of Itunes, restarted computer, connected ipod, nothing, held every button down for what seems like forever, nothing. I think I have been screwed by the pawnshop. Is there anyway of restoring this thing or is now just a $60.00 paperweight?

    torreto44. that does not work with a Disabled iPod. Jim's gave the correct answer for a Disabled iPod

    That is the orientation lock indicator. It means that you phone will not go into landscape mode when tilted on it's side.
    To turn orientation lock off double tap the home button, to access the multitasking menu, then swipe your finger to the right over the multitasking bar at the bottom and touch the big button on the left with the padlock.

  • 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.
