IPhone wont switch to landscape mode

My iPhone wont switch to landscape mode when I rotate the phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

You likely have the rotation lock on.
This is covered in the manual:

    my iPhone no longer switches to landscape mode, any suggestions

    Make sure it's not in Portrait mode. Double-click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar, go to the left, the leftmost icon should be an empty square. Click it to turn on or off Portrait mode.

    Alas, this did not help me. I don't have an Orientation Button or any Icon that would help in this endeavor. At the bottom of my Iphone 4s, there are 3 icons: Phone, Mail and Safari. That's it. I can't get those icons to move.
    What is it you're trying to do?  If you're looking for orientation lock in iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of your phone to access control center.  Orientation lock is the top right icon.

  • IPhone 5s won't switch to landscape mode

    I have the iPhone 5s (32GB) and the software currently being used is up to date (IOS 7.1.1).
    My problem is that my phone won't switch to landscape mode. When I take pictures, it won't turn over, and all other apps, even when I play games like Temple Run, it won't allow the character to move side to side.
    I have checked to see if my phone's orientation lock is on, which it is not. I have done a hard reset which did not fix it. I also did a restore where I restored it completely and set it up as a new phone, and restored it and set it up with a backup. Nothing has helped it!!
    I don't know what to do, and would much rather figure it out than go to the Apple Store and get it looked at. If you have any knowledge or anything that can potentially help resolve this issue, i'd be very much appreciated!!
    Thanks

    How to enter DFU mode:
    Plug your device into your computer
    Turn off the device by holding the Sleep/Wake or Power button and swiping it off
    Hold the power button for 3 seconds
    Begin holding the Home button without releasing the Sleep/Power button for 10 seconds

  • IPhone 6 Plus doesn't switch to landscape mode on the home screen

    my new iPhone 6+ will not switch to landscape mode when turned horizontally in the homepage. Any thoughts about why this is? It will inindividual apps, but just not on the home page. And no, my screen orientation is not locked in portrait mode.  Is anyone else having similar problems or have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    +1
    My iPhone 6+ doesn't:
     rotate to landscape mode on the home screen
     display dual-paned email
     display the extended keyboard in landscape mode.
    Curious if anyone else is experiencing all three symptoms on their 6+ too?
    (It ***** because I bought the horsey 6+ for these features.)
    I'm suspicious that it was my restore that did it. Did anyone else experiencing the "no rotate" bug restore from an iTunes backup? I did, and I think that it went afoul. I restored from an iTunes backup (via USB), from an iPhone 5s running the iOS 8 GM Seed.
    Does this ring a bell?
    I'd rather not wipe it and set it up as a new device as this takes HOURS that I don't have right now, but I suspect that the restore (possibly the iOS 8 GM) is the culprit.
    Thanks!

  • IPhone 6 will not switch to landscape mode for pictures,videos or tv

    My iPhone 6 stopped switching to landscape mode for movies,pictures,tv or vedio.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    TThe first thing to do is check, as Dilbert41 mentioned, whether the Rotation Lock is on. if you see the circular arrow around a small padlock at the top right of your screen turn it off using the Control Center. If the Roation Lock is off try a reset of your iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • Apps won't switch to landscape mode

    Many of my apps won't switch to landscape mode (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Yelp).  I know that landscape works on my phone because Photos, Messages, Calculator, etc. will switch to landscape mode.  Also, I don't have the portrait lock on.  The apps used to switch to landscape - what's up?  Could it be because of the new update?

    Then the next steps in user troubleshooting are restore from backup, and if necessary restore as new. I would also ask, have you checked to make sure that the Orientation Lock is not on? Check in the status bar to see if you see a small padlock with a circular arrow around it next to the battery status. If so, you turn this off from the Control Center. Swipe upwards from off the bottom of the screen, then Orientation Lock is on the top row all the way to the right. White is on, black is off. I have also read that there is a screen zoom setting, either in Display & Brightness or Wallpaper. I don't have an iPhone 6, so I cannot compare. Supposedly in the zoom setting, it can prevent some things from happening, and I believe landscape orientation was one of them.

    My I phone will not switch to landscape mode. How can I reset?
    Thanks!

    If I'm following correctly, double tap the home button. Then slide the bar on the bottom of your screen to your right where you'll see the ipod icons and and a black icon on the left. If you see an image of a lock on the black icon, it means that you are locked in portrait orientation. Simply tap the icon to unlock it and that should free up landscape mode.

  • How to switch to Landscape mode

    Hi,
    I'm starting to programm with the PDA module for Pocket PC and I have a Windows Mobile 2003 SE device.
    Is it possible to programmaly switch to landscape mode ?
    Many thanks in advance
    Gerry

    As far as I know this isn't available.
    If you know of a windows function which can do this, you can try creating a DLL which will call it (using eVC++) and call that DLL from LV.

    I am having the same problem with a new phone. Is yours new? I was planning to take this one back to the store where I purchased it. I updated itunes and phone software, didn't help, so I'm thinking it's a hardware problem.

  • I have been experiencing periodic loss of touch screen response with my iPhone 6 when in landscape mode. Flipping to portrait then back to landscape usually corrects it, but at times I need to close and reenter the app.

    Hi McGannahanSkjellyfetti,
    If you are experiencing difficulties with touchscreen response on your iPhone I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IPhone 4 stuck in landscape mode

    For the last couple of days my iPhone has been stuck in landscape mode.  No matter what I do it will not switch out of landscape.  I've tried shutting it off, closing apps and even restored my phone but whenever I go into an app it automatically switches to landscape.
    Anyone else have this problem????
    Thanks

    Double click the home button scroll over to the audio controlls there is a button on the left that looks like a reload button that locks the orientation

  • When my iPhone 4 is in landscape mode is it possible to navigate the Music from song to song?

    I like to listen to music on my iPhone in "shuffle" mode during the day at work.  I like the look of it in landscape mode but I can't fast forward through songs if I want to.

    I couldn't believe I was searching so long for such an app but I eventually found two: CarMusic and GestureMusic (I use the CarMusic app more often).  Both of these apps have the position scrubber in landscape view.  In addition, with these apps you control the music with "gestures", so to skip a song, you swipe your finger across the screen (can be done for both forward skip or backward skip, just swipe the other way).  And to pause the song you simply tap the screen anywhere (tap again to resume).  This definitely makes driving and listening more safe.
    In the small chance that Apple actually reads these for customer feedback, I'd recommend their own Music app have such functionality.  If that's too much to ask for, then at least display a regular player in landscape view.  Right now the default iPhone Music app shows "Cover Flow" in landscape view which is neat and all, but there should be an option to switch it to view a regular player as well so we can skip forward or back, etc.  I've read forums as far back as 6 years ago about people requesting the same thing, but nothing done about it yet.
