Why is there a lock sign on top of my iPad.

Why is there a lock sing on my iPad.

If Allan's suggestion does not work, go to Settings, General, Use side switch to...
This is documented extremely poorly in the User Manual that Kappy referenced.  If the side switch is configured for Mute, then the Rotation Lock is a software switch in the Recents Tray.  Hit the home button twice rapidly to open the Recents Tray.  Slide the tray to the right to display the Rotation Lock switch at the left end of the tray.
If the side switch iws configured for Rotation Lock, Allan's suggestion will work and the Mute switch is in the Recents Tray as described above.
Confused?

    Don't know.  Ask Apple when you send the computer back to them! 
    You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.

    Do any of those possbilities seem likelly?
    If the clips were renamed, you should change the name back to what they were before. If the Event clips were moved out of the Movies/iMovie Events folder, move them back.
    If the external drive was not attached, attach it and restart iMovie.

  • Why is there a line across the top of iCAL 5.0?

    why is there a line across the date on the iCal page after I installed Lion?

    I got rid of the line by shrinking the calendar on the secodary monitor. The line doesn't appear in the full screen view nor on the primary display (MacBook). so if I don't want the line, I live with a view samller than the monitor screen :-)

    Weird.
    Let me know if there is a fix to this, ;)

    Have you tried changing your background image ? It looks to me like your current background includes the time on it (it looks like it might have been a screenshot from somewhere taken at 11:45), so what you are seeing is the actual time overlaid onto the time that is part of your image - the top part of the first image in your post includes :

  • Why are there scan lines at the top of my iMovie project when I play it in iMovie?

    I am currently running OS X 10.9.4 on my 2012 MacBook Pro. I have used one of the templates in Hollywood Trailers in iMovie and when I edited it the template with my videos and text and then I play it, I see little white lines or "scan lines" sporadically at the top of the screen when it is playing. I just wanted to know is this normal before it gets published or saved or do I need to do something else to fix the problem?

    There are so many instances of what Andy describes and so many responses like yours - "Take what comes!" What sort of an approach is that?
    The point is that you are wrong to say that if you are on Manual, you should just put up with it.  The previous version placed the new Event in perfect (end) position - so clearly this is an Apple oversight during revision.  It doesn't even place the newcomer at the very top - always second from left.
    I have already placed feedback, as have countless others, but surely this site is for talking it over with one's peers?
    I just didn't want Andy to get the door shut in his face by your response.
    I will now get on my white horse and ride into the sunset knowing that my job is done here .......

  • Why are there white bars across the top of my iPhone 5 screen?

    I have a brand new iphone 5 (not 5S) which has white bars across the top of the screen. The bars are quite faint at first, if the screen has been locked for a while but they get brighter while you use the phone. The bars overlap and obscure the time and battery symbols but you can still see through them with effort.  I have tried turning it off and on again but this has not helped. It may have happened after the phone was updated to the latest version (iOS 7.1.2).  this was required so I could transfer my old phone's information from a backup. Has anyone  experienced this issue or know the cause of it?

    Hi Ererer, I am sorry to hear that you are having that problem with characters showing up at the top of your screen. I had a similar problem so I understand how frustrating it can be. This problem has been linked to some antivirus software. Could you tell me what kind you use? I have also found an easy solution to this. When they appear simply drag the window from its maximized state down. It will no longer take up the full screen and the characters will be gone and everything will be back to normal. If you want it maximized again simply drag it back. I hope this helps.

  • Why is there a downward facing arrow on iWork for iPad

    I tried syncing my iPad, iPhone4 and iMac to iCloud, and now i can't open my iWork documents on any iOS5.1 device, even my iPad where i made the documents it says i need an internet connection. It has all my uni work on so i'm gutted.

    Kind of unfair. I get the cheapest ones on my Nook and all my friends that have Iphones and Ipads are free.
    Thankyou for answering me though

  • WHY IS THERE NO ESAY WAY TO DELETE EMAILS ON IHONE AND IPAD?

    Why is there no esay way to delete emails on ipad and iphone?  Why is there no junk mail setting for ipad and iphone? If there is let me know, if not can I make a suggest that it be developed as an APP.   Can't believe this opportunity [problem] has not been address before now.  Love to hear comments... or is it just me...

    To delete emails you just wipe from right to left on a particular email and you will see the delete button.  Or you can you the trash icon on the bottom of the emails to delete it.
    Two very easy options.  Not sure what problem your having.

  • My ipad2 has a lock sign on desk top why

    My ipad2 has a lock sign on desktop why?

    Where abouts ? If it's at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator then you have rotation lock 'no'. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • How you can remove the lock sign from the top right status bar in IOS 7

    I recently noticed a lock sign on the top right next to my battery , I use to turn it off in IOS 6 but since upgraded to IOS 7 i can't find the option to close it .
    Can you please help !!
    Thanks

    The sign means you have Rotation lock on.
    Open control center and look for the same icon there on the right side edge.  To open control center swipe up from close to the bottom of the screen.
