Tip: Change Background Image on iPod Touch Lock Screen

3 01 2008

When you first turn on your iPod Touch or after it becomes locked, you are greeted with a screen where you must slide a slider to unlock the iPod Touch. Well, on that screen there is a fancy picture. By default, my iPod Touch had a picture of the Earth on the lock screen. You do have the ability to change that image. Here’s how.

  1. From the home screen, tap the settings Application
  2. Then, tap the General option in the menu
  3. On the next menu, tap the Wallpaper option
  4. Finally, tap the image you wish to display

This will not change the background on your Home screen. It will only change the image that displays when your iPod Touch becomes locked. Now, just simply turn your iPod Touch off and then back on again, or let it automatically lock, and see your newly set background image.

terri,
What exactly did you do that it didn’t work? Keep in mind that this will not change the black background that is behind your application icons. This ONLY changes the picture on the lock screen.
