Acceleromiter out of whack. Screen, camera flip upside down for no reason.

Title says it all. Suddenly any app that can, will flip upside down as soon as it loads, and turning it over again doesn't change it. The camera app does it too. It's like no matter what, it's going to be oriented upside down. When I lock the screen orientation, it's fine except for apps that ignore that, like the camera app. Is there any way to recalibrate the accelerometer or something like that?
Thanks a bunch!
Marcus.

Hey,
Do you have rotation lock on; that would explain why the phone sticks to one view. If it is on rotation lock, you'll see a symbol like this on the top of your phone, near the time: http://media.photobucket.com/image/rotation%20lock/mike614007/Riddeam/th_Rotatio nLockButton2xiphone.png
If the lock is on, it can be turned off in the multi-tasking menu, next to the volume/music controls.

My screen keeps fliping upside down , even though I have not turned the i pad

My screen keeps "flipping" upside down even though I have not turned the I pad

bmwdr -
I have reported this problem from the beginning of the MBP release back in February.
They have not solved it during any of my repairs.
I have found the following helps, but does not solve:
1. Disconnecting and reconnecting the magsafe power adapter
2. Resetting your PMU
3. Locking your Energy settings by clicking the lock in the lower left hand corner
It seems to be a software bug that is somehow potentially related to the screen saver. When you shut your screen saver off... it sometimes disappears.

My screen flipped upside down

My computer screen flipped upside down on its own and even rebootting does not help. Anyone have a similiar problem?

Clicking on kudos didn't work, but I wanted to thank you nonetheless. I knew that approach but was so disoriented by the vertical 180 and by HP tech support's response that I forgot to try it. I bought a 2 year extension to the warranty and I'm still in the 1st year of the 3 (total). THEY HAD THE UNMITIGATED M 'n F 'n NERVE TO TELL ME I HAD TO PAY FOR 'PREMIUM TECH SUPPORT'. Those idiots are the new "Doolin Daltons" of the tech monsterscape. They're nothing more than hired guns who'll lie, cheat, and steal your $. I got a ditto from Lexmark for my Platinum Pro 905. Both HP and Lexmark are taking their lead from Microsoft. I think that we should have all seen it coming the moment 'Wild Bill & co. came up with their corporate name - do you really want to project the image of a "tool" that is both microscopic and flaccid? It was their last moment of unguarded (uncoached) honest talk. Thanks again for your help. David Lyle

My iMovie flips upside down !

I'm running 10.8.5 software and OS6 on my phone. When I import a movie into my mac, then up load into iMovie the video is right side up. However when I import it into a project it flips upside down. Any suggestions ? Thanks

How?

At times when dragging the vertical scroll bar my computer screen oscillates up and down for some time before going blank or not responding to any clicks requiring a forced system restart. What is wrong?

Hi,
Suddenly while working with Firefox if I happen to drag the vertical scroll bar, a very abnormal behavior occurs. My screen dances up and down for a short time before either going black or getting restored but with no clicks working. The only way to resume is to force a restart of the system.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Deepak

That didn't work. On trying to install a new driver I got the error the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. Is there anything else that can be done to at least prevent the hanging of the computer even if it means less features from Firefox being available?

My volume is greyed out when I turn on the Mac, but for some reason it works again when I turn on bluetooth. Nothing in system prefs changes this???

My volume is greyed out when I turn on the Mac, but for some reason it works again when I turn on bluetooth. Nothing in system prefs changes this??? Its all very random and sometimes I do not have this problem at all or it is fixed again when I restart the Mac.

please let me know if you figure out how to do correct it because mine has exacly the same problem.

When I import a video from my PC into Itunes, it flips upside down, how do i fix that?

I created a video on my PC using Power Director 12, and it plays correctly. So, i imported the video into the iTunes app on the same PC, and in the viewing window, the video is upside down, when i copy it to the iPad it is upside down. I see posts concerning videos that were filmed upside down with the ipad, but that is not the case, this video played perfectly fine until it was imported into the itunes application, never leaving my PC. the file type is Mp4. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who knew how to prevent this from happening? or just why it is happening?
thanks everyone for any help.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

Flipping (upside-down) the image on the iMac display

My imac G5 20" (no iSight) sits way too high on my desk.
I want to turn it upside down so the screen is lower.
Is there a way to inverse the screen display? 3rd party software, etc...?
Thanks

The foot is removable on the iMac G5 computers prior to the iSight version.
They did this so that you could install a wall-mount adapter.
But, if you do this, consider that you do need air-space under the iMac G5 for ventilation.
Probably your best bet would be to buy a wall-mount adapter from Apple, and then a Wall-Mount bracket from most electronics and home stores. Then you can set the height anywhere you want it.

My iPad mini screen keeps turning upside down and I cannot fix it, please help!

When my iPad mini is in the upright position, the screen turns upside down and I have not touched the rotation switch, it just does this on its own and I cannot get it to go back into the right position. Also, it will not let me view it in the longside "landscape" mode. Can someone please help me fix this and tell me what is going on, why is it doing this? I have only had it for a few months and it is very upsetting to see it doing strange things like this without my prompting. Please help! Thank you so much!

Settings > General > Lock Rotation..
Or...
Double-press the home button...
Swipe to the right until you get to the Portrait Orientation Button...

Turn everything upside down for April Fool's?

Hi everyone.
I work at a project with a continuous build system, so anything I check in will be built and seen by project leaders and such within an hour. I'm trying to think of a good April Fool's joke.
I think the ripest ground might be the Swing rendering of the program. I don't imagine there's an easy way to turn everything upside down, is there? Maybe I could over ride the paint() method of the JFrame everything is in and flip the co-ordinate system? I'm thinking even if that were possible it probably won't trickle down to the other components...
Any thoughts of some big, obvious, silly change, that wouldn't require too much time-wasting?
Thanks!
Sam

Ok, I did it, and appear not to have lost my job. Thanks everyone!
The only problem was that no one saw it... except the CEO! Yes, the CEO occasionally work with head versions of our code... He figured he was infected with the conficker worm... The programmer he was IMing with hadn't seen it (update your code!), so the CEO made a short movie: http://www.concord.org/~cdorsey/Upside-down-OTrunk.mov. At that point people started to work it out.
As you can see, the panel didn't paint all the way -- that launch does some extra resizing that I hadn't considered and appears to mess things up a little. Oh well. sigh
Thanks again! Below is the code I used:
// We have a class that extends JFrame, but this could easily have been added to any generic JFrame
public class MyMainFrame extends JFrame{
public void init(){
       long currTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
         if (currTime > 1238598000000l && currTime < 1238610600000l){ // April fool's!
             JPanel glassPane = new JPanel();
              glassPane.setOpaque(false);
              UpsidedownPanel upsideDown = new UpsidedownPanel(new BorderLayout());
              upsideDown.add( getContentPane() );
              setContentPane( upsideDown );
              setGlassPane( glassPane );
              glassPane.setVisible( true );
              glassPane.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
                   public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
                     MyMainFrame.this.getGlassPane().setVisible(false);
                     ((UpsidedownPanel)MyMainFrame.this.getContentPane()).upsidedown(false);
class UpsidedownPanel extends JPanel{
         public UpsidedownPanel(LayoutManager manager){
              super(manager);
         private boolean upsidedown = true;
         public void upsidedown(boolean upsidedown){
              this.upsidedown = upsidedown;
              repaint();
         public void paintChildren(Graphics g)
              if (upsidedown){
                   int cWidth = getSize().width / 2;
                   int cHeight = getSize().height / 2;
                   Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
                   g2d.translate(cWidth, cHeight);
                   g2d.rotate( Math.toRadians( 180 ) );
                   g2d.translate(-cWidth, -cHeight);
                   super.paintChildren(g2d);
              } else {
                   super.paintChildren(g);
    }

Weird problem: video that flips upside down after editing

I have just edited a story for an emagazine. The strange thing is after I have gotten all the transitions completed and the whole thing rendered the video will play back and flip the video after the transitions on parts of the story. For example, I have a fade in at the start of the story. The video fades in fine then flips. The video then flips back to the proper angle when my title drops into the package. Then when the title disappears the video flips once again until the first soundbyte. The soundbyte stays the proper angle as well. I'm not sure what the problem is. If you know the solution I would really appreciate the suggestion. Thanks in advance for any and all help, too!

The original material is video shot on my iPhone 4. I've edited it in Final Cut Pro in the past and had no problem. I'm sure it might be something I missed. But I can't figure out what the setting would be since there is no difference in what I edited shot on the iPhone 4 and what I shot now.
Thanks again for your help, too!

100% width accordion panel flipped upside down

i would like to use an accordion panel flipped 180 at 100% width for a pop up footer. it doesn't seem like this is supported at this time, just would like confirmation or some direction on how to make it happen. would love to see this supported, as it would really add some awesome possibilities. thanks in advance.

You can try rotated accordion and place that in footer with contents in container, there us no direct widget for such a 180 degree footer but you can try the rotated setting of accordion.
Thanks,
Sanjit
