Why does my iPhone show a padlock with an arrow around it?

could any one tell me what this is and how to turn it off

It means that the iPhone screen is locked in portrait orientation. You can remove it by unlocking the orientation (Double-click the Home button, flick the bottom of the screen from left to right, then tap).
If you havn't already got a copy then the iPhone manual can be downloaded from this page http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone

Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts? In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced. I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro. Incidently I am not using Icloud. Is that the problem?

Why does my iPhone shows "restricted" on other people's phone when I call them?

Why does my iPhone shows "restricted" on other people's phone when I call them?

Lena the only previous e-mail message was on Tuesday Dec 30 which stated…..
Lets get your Caller ID to work as it should! I will send you a private message so that we can better assist.
This e-mail states that another ‘private message’ presumably via e-mail would be sent/received but I haven’t received anything else from an e-mail perspective. Presumably it is just a matter of navigating through a low number of settings to get to the caller-id option.
Thank you,

HT5527 why does my iphone show I have CLOUD but my laptop and mac only show MOBILEME?

How come my iphone shows under settings ICLOUD but my laptop and Imac only have Mobileme and nothing under preferences that indicate ICLOUD?

According to your signature your Macs are running Leopard and Snow Leopard: neither is capable of accessing iCloud (other than setting the Mail application up manually). Lion 10.7.2 is the minimum requirement to make use of iCloud's other facilities.

TS3274 If I am standing in the same place with my ipad and my iphone why does my iphone show me more wifi bars then my iPad?

Why do both apple devices have different amount of wifi bars in the same location?

If the mail carrier use the mail type called pop3 then when mails are downloaed to a device they are removed from the server unless one set in the settings they are not to be so
If your carrier support the newer types of mail called imap or exchange this will not be the case check if they do
Or look in the settings for a leave on server

Why does my iphone have duplicate songs with an icon?

Recently I've noticed something on my iPhone. Maybe it's been there all along, who knows. But here's the deal: if I buy an album on iTunes for Mac, and sync my iPhone, the album on he phone looks bizarre:
As you can see, there's a duplicate of each track, with a circle icon. If I try and play this circle icon, it tells me I need to be connected to WiFi or something.
Points of note:
1. Under "Store" in the iPhone settings, I've turned off automatic downloads of everything. I found that if this was enabled, my iPhone would download new music and would get a second copy sync'd by iTunes. Fail for iTunes/iPhone recognising the same album I guess..?
2. Every so often, my iPhone is now asking me for my Apple ID password - no special reason I can see,it just pops up and asks me. This might be related.
3. I haven't purchased/turned on iTunes Match anywhere (iCloud).
I'm wondering if it's got spectacularly confused somewhere, if it thinks maybe it should be streaming this album from my Mac, or downloading it from the Store, even if it's already got a copy.
How can I make it stop? It's annoying in the extreme. Sure, it's not as bad as not having food on the table, pretty much a first world problem,but not what I'd expect from the thing. I'm happy to blow the device away and restart it as a fresh iPhone, not quite sure how to do that, but I'm open to all suggestions that might show how to fix the problem.
Thanks

i wondered the same thing.
You have to go to the "Restrictions" page of your device's Settings and make sure "iTunes" is turned on.
This is why it only happened on my children's iPods and not on mine.
The reason a full restore works is that it resets all your passwords and allows everything automatically until you reset the restrictions again.

Why does my iPhone show some photos full size and some scaled?

Hi,
I have got a collection of DVDs and syncronized a folder with all cover pictures to my iPhone 5.
When looking at them with the "photo" app, some covers are shown full-size, some are
shown scaled. The scaled ones are shown at maximum height, so that I don't see the
whole cover on the 16:9 screen.
All covers are JPG having a similar size (760x1080px), with no EXIF/IPTC tags and
different dpi (tried different settings but saw no change).
Does anyone know, how the iPhone decides to show pictures scaled or not?
Thanks for a hint, regards
Christian
"full" vs. "scaled"

Why does my iPhone 4s randomly disconnect with airplay?

I have tried using two different wireless routers but no luck. I have my Apple TV hardwired in to my router and when using an iPhone 4s on AirPlay it will randomly stall/disconnect. When this happens the airplay option usually goes away for a bit and then comes back. I have used it over a Motorola wifi with wireless g speeds, then I plugged it in to a wireless n Dlink network, and same issue. I've also tried more than one iPhone, relocated the modem so there is nothing but about 10 feet of air between the modem and the phone, and still have the issue. Interestingly enough, the iPad 2 does fine. Any ideas?

The multi task bar as you call it does not show apps that are running but rather shows recent apps that you have used. These apps do not use bandwidth because they are not running. Check your notifications to see which apps might be sending information because they might be using data. The native apps that came with the phone periodically use data and there is nothing that you can do about that

Why does my iPhone 4 get slower with every update? (iPod app special)

When i tab ipod and then movies i almost have to wait longer than with my old iPhone 3G. And it get worst with every update. ***? I am thinking about downdating to 3.something then my iPhone 4 was really quick.

Here is my update on this issue. This isn't normal. I spoke to several tech support people, sr tech support people, etc and we found out that somehow my battery was damaged during the update. They found this out by sending me a diagnostic file via sms. I was sent into the apple store to replace my phone. I had it a little under a year, with 40 days left on my warranty. When I went to the store I was able to show the rep at the store the issue described in this thread. He just scratched his head. It was a quick swap. I spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue. I tried everything. Removing itunes_control files, several restores, starting from scratch. I could duplicate the issue every time. It's a bug and I'm sure it will be addressed. If you are still under warranty, I would recommend getting it checked by an apple tech to see if it messed up your battery and perhaps get it replaced. Battery issues on these devices cause lots of problems.

Why does my iphone 6 have problems with wifi no matter what network I am on?

It doesnt matter what network I am connected to. I will have connection issues or dropped signal strength. My phones wifi strength will go from 433 Mb/s ac to 72 Mb/s n. Yet on my ipad Air 2, iphone 5s, apple TV and mac mini there are no problems. I have had this phone for less then 4 days and I had to return 2 other phones with the same problem. I have reset it many times as told in some of the apple communities with the same problem. Is it the phones iOS or what? How do I fix this?

Try going to Settings> General > reset> Reset Network Settings
then reconnect to your wifi then see if the issue persists, if it does, make sure you are testing this on other wifi networks, if the issue persists, call into applecare and set up repair.

Why does my iPhone 5c only charge with certain chargers ?

My phone 5c only charges with certain iPhone 5 chargers. My charger broke and I bought a new original apple charger but it didn't work. The charger functioned fine with my friends iPhone but not with mine, I plugged my phone to her charger and it charged fine ? This is happening with my cousins iPod as well. What's the problem ?

Probably dirt or pocket lint in the Lightning connector on the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a wood or plastic toothpick.

Why does my iPhone 6 pop up with this message?

Hey so I got my new iPhone 6 in the mail yesturday and i'm having trouble actually getting the phone started. Whenever I try signing in to activate my phone it comes up with this message after i enter my billing zip code and my SSN. Verizon Wireless was unable to verify your identity using the information you entered. I do everything right but it won't let me activate my iPhone. I am using the same phone number as my previous phone. I've called apple and they hooked me up with a senior advisor then they hooked me up to verizon and they didn't help me at all. The SIM card is in the iPhone and my phone on verizon is already linked I just need to get the iPhone activated. Did anyone else have this similar problem?

Why does two iPhones show the same text

MY sons iPhone and husbands iPhones are sharing the same texts and syncing with one another how to do I stop this

Use a different Apple ID for iMessage on both phones. (You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes.)
One of you needs to go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a differert ID. If you are sharing the same ID for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls.
