Landscape Mode works 1/2 of the time

About 1/2 of the time, when I turn my 3gs on its side, instead of going into landscape mode my screen either goes black and stays that way or the Google "Speak Now" screen comes up. When I turn it back to vertical, the original page returns. Is this a HW problem?
Thanks

Sounds more like a software (OS bug)
Try a hard reset, if that doesn't work you have two other options...
Restore using "Restore from back up" I'd try this first, typically when trying to rid yourself of an OS bug this is not what you want to use, but on the off chance it does work it does avoid you having to back up all your settings and notes and photos etc...
If that doesn't work you are left with a restore using "set up as new iPhone" which does make you loose things like texts, user settings, photos you have not synced from the camera roll... things like contacts and email accounts and such that are checked for sync in iTunes are ok since that dat will sync to an application like Mail or Outlook.. POP3 inbox items are lost also and there is no way around that... This is why I suggest the first option but please keep in mind that the first option's resolve expectancy is low... but it's simpler...

I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

Slider not working around 50% of the time.

Hello,
Slider not working around 50% of the time when I get a call. I hit the sleep button and home button several times and then it works.
I've done the soft reset several times. I've restored settings completely 2 times.
the screen is clean, my hands are clean, the wifi is off, the phone has not been dropped, it only happens when receiving a call and never happens when I'm just turing it on to access the menu. Bluetooth is off as well.
Any ideas?

this happened to me a week or so after buying my iPhone. Fixed it with a reboot... Simul holding home and on/off until apple appears on the screen . Been working for axweek ok now.

Back button only works about 50% of the time. Have to hit it twice, sometimes three times before it works. Problem is intermittent. Firefox 3.6.10 on Mac OS 10.6.4 (same on both MacBook and iMac machines).

The iPhone 5 in landscape mode is a tablet for the Fluid Grid layout

Hi all,
I created a "fluid" layout for a site and realized that the iPhone 5, in landscape mode, is > 480 pixels, so the "tablet" layout is applied.
Have you encountered this issue as well? How to solve it? I thought I might modify the CSS media query and define the tablet as > 536 but maybe some-one has a more elegant solution?
And, in general, when is a phone really a tablet?
Bootstrap from Twitter suggests four types of widths.
/* Large desktop */
@media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }
/* Portrait tablet to landscape and desktop */
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) { ... }
/* Landscape phone to portrait tablet */
@media (max-width: 767px) { ... }
/* Landscape phones and down */
@media (max-width: 480px) { ... }
In this framework (which is very similar to DW's fluid grid: it has a class called "clearfix" which suggests me something), under 768 it's still a phone... Is IT? What do you think?

Smartphones are getting bigger. Tablets are getting smaller. So there's bound to be some overlap between devices. I just don't see this as a problem. Nor should you.

The modem is easy to set up and it works well most of the time. I have trouble with it when I do video chat. I always lose the signal.

Having to same issue but while online gaming. Seems to reset itself. Cisco and Comcast both say everything is working fine and blame the other.

My iPad 3 will not change the orientation to landscape mode. I have checked the orientation switch and turned it off for a reset neither of which fixes the problem.

I recently bought the 27" IMac. I have to force shut it down, the menu shut down doesn't work, and most of the time it will start back up on it's own several hours or even days later. Any ideas?

Note: No iMac PPC is 27". PPC is for the iMacs that were new until the beginning of 2006. They are all Intel now.

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

Energy saver schedule not working, can't set the time!

Hi, I was trying to schedule a shutdown today, only to find that it doesn't work, I can't select the time or input it, it only shows AM and PM, but no time! I can't input numbers in that box! I can delete AM or PM, but that's about it!
Does anyone have a clue on what's going on?

Hmm. Very strange.
Does the date & time appear normally in your menubar, and on Finder windows, etc.?
It doesn't sound like a file system or permissions problem, but you might try Verifying your internal HD, per #6 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Then +*Repair Disk Permissions+* on it, per #5 there.

Power button fails to work about 95% of the time

Hello,
I have a Toshiba P205-S6267 that is having a strange issue.
About 95% of the time the power button fails to work when on battery, and it fails 100% of the time when the AC adapter is plugged in.
I am getting pretty stumped on this one and starting to think I may need to replace the 7-button circuit under the power button. Before I spend the $55 to do that, I wanted to see if anyone had any advice for me.
Here are the things I have tried.
- the standard unplug the power / battery and wait a few minutes then plug it back in.
- tried this only on battery, same issue
- tried only on AC, won't power up at all
- checked AC adapter with multimeter and it was outputting the correct voltage (also it keeps the battery charged still)
- removed the keyboard and speaker cover then reseated the 7-button circuit
- cleaned the ribbon cable contacts and reseated the ribbon cable for the circuit
- removed RAM and tried each stick by itself, no change.
I'm kind of lost here. Again, I am probably at a point where I need to replace hardware but I don't want to drop the cash without some kind of verification that I'm not retarded.
Any assistance or advice is welcome. Thank you.

Ah, I've been playing around with this and it seems I was mistaken about the nature of the problem.
It is deterministic, for one. It seemed nondeterministic because the action that makes the glasspane paint() fail is the act of giving focus to the JInternalFrame that the glasspane belongs to.
Why does giving focus to a JInternalFrame disable that frame's GlassPane? I can take focus away from it, and the repaint() method starts working again.

Can anyone tell me why my various Mice seem to work only part of the time..

Hello All...
I'm having some trouble with my new MacBook(s). I have two different Mice (one wired... one wireless) all via USB and they work only "sometimes"...
When they do work (about 1 in 12 times) they stop after the computer goes to sleep... when I wake everything up... the mice do not respond...
Strange...
Hopefully this is simple to fix/modify...
Thanks...

Welcome to

Which mice are you having trouble with?
Hi Eric... thanks for your reply...
I have a SONY Vaio mouse PCGA-UMS3 and a Logitech Wireless mouse... (sorry no model number here with me at the moment)...
Both of these work perfectly with ALL of my PowerBook G4's... (I have 5 of these in various locations...)...
I'm really baffled by this... They just do not work --- or work for short intervals only... very odd...
I'd love to hear any ideas here...
With humble thanks...

HT204389 Siri only works about 25% of the time after iOS7 upgrade on my iPhone 5. Is it really still "the servers"?

"I am really sorry, I am not avail right now..."
I understood this error after launch due to the servers being down, but I continue to have this issue when attempting to use Siri the majority of the time. Starting to get worried!

I've been getting this problem with iOS7, but not as badly as you mention. 75% of the time Siri is OK, but it's definitely slower than with iOS6. Usually, when there is a problem, I just immediately repeat my request and it works.
Although the delays are small - it may take 5 to 10 seconds to get Siri to respond - the great benefit of Siri is that it's quicker to do things with Siri than by other means: if it becomes slow, then a lot of the value of Siri disappears.
I hope these are just teething performance issues that Apple can fix in the next release.
