  • How do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen

    how do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen ?

    Only by hiding the camera via Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. That hides the camera when unlocked unless you go to Restrictions  and unset that Restriction. That is not way currently from just preventing camera access only from the lock screen

  • Camera problem from the locked screen

    I am using an iphone 5s and having problems with the camera from the locked screen.
    When i flick up the locked screen to use the camera, i am given a blank screen. When i press the home button the camera quickly appears before returning me to the locked screen.
    If i want to use the camera i have to unlock the phone.

    Try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the camera will now come up with you slide up.

  • Where is the camera icon on the lock screen after downloading ios5

    I completed the download of ios5 and I believe there is supposed to be a small camera icon on the lock screen so I can take a photo without having to unlock the phone.  I did see it right after the download but it has since disappeared.  Anyone know how to get it back?
    Thanks!!

    Your welcome! Hey, I didn't know how to access it at first, also!

  • Not seeing the camera access on the home screen after ios5 update. What's up with that?

    Is anyone else not seeing the access for the camera on their home screen after the update? I thought that was part of ios5.

    Double press the home button on the lock screen. On the Home Screen you still have the camera button!

  • I recently updated my iPhone's 3GS software to iOS 5.1...Is there any way to remove the camera button from the lock screen?

    Heeelp?!...

    I did just that, good idea.
    I stated in my feedback message that I feel it disturbing that someone handling my iPhone, but not having the passcode, can take photos with my phone.  Photos of --<sigh>--Lord knows what.  While the phone's usually in my pocket or otherwise close to my person, that's not always the case. 
    Now, I'll grant that it is nice to have the option to allow someone to take a photo with my phone without also giving them access to everything else.  In fact, that's a very nice little tidbit.  I'd just like to have the flexibility to prevent people from taking pics with my phone, should they happen to have it in hand and feel the urge to add to my camera roll even without my approval.  There's real opportunity for mischief in this.

  • Ios7 music from the lock screen via control centre

    Help!!! whilst i can see how it is quicker to access music from the lock screen via control centre it doesn't appear to work correctly
    when returning to the control centre from the lock screen after a few minutes listening to music it works fine i.e. the track you were listening to appeas there
    my issue is that if you return to the control centre after not listening to music say for a few hours or overnight it does no return to the track you were listening to and decidess for itself that its in shuffle mode. very frustrating
    is this correct or is this in the settings

    You can try the standard fixes:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    - Wait for next iOS update

  • Why I can't go to my camera from the lock screen?

    I just downloaded the iOS5 and i can go to my camera from the lock screen like it is said in the tutorials! What can I do?

    press your home button twice when the lock screen comes up and the camera icon will show up.  I thought it was supposed to show up automatically after the update, but it doesn't on my phone.  I have the iPhone 4.

  • Why are my photos smaller when I access the camera from the lock screen?

    I have an iPhone 4s using IOS 5 and I have noticed that when I access my iPhone camera from the lock screen (by double clicking the home button) that the photos I take are only 640 x 480 pixels, but when I unlock the phone and click the Camera icon the photos 3264 x 2448 pixels.  I would pefer to always shoot the larger sized photos.  Is there a way to change this?

  • I'm experiencing extremely slow response when attempting to open the control center from the lock screen, any suggestions?

    When trying to access the control center from the lock screen, it takes anywhere from 2 to MANY swipes to get a response.  Never opens on the first try.

    I'm not having the same problem, but there is a feature in the OS that attempts to discern from swipes to unlock and swipes to open control center. This is what you may be experiencing.
