After updating 8.0, my screen won't rotate sometimes

I updated my OS last week but today I was trying to type up an email and my screen wouldn't rotate out of landscape view.  It happened while I was texting too.  Even closing the apps it wouldn't rotate to vertical view.  It happens randomly.
Never had the issue before the update.

Have you tried a reboot?  Hold you home and power buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any data or settings.

  • I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
    And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?

    Hi ..
    Might be corrupted preferences.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.screensaver.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac then reset your screen saver.

  • TS3274 My iPad screen won't rotate

    Please help, I have an iPad 2. My screen won't rotate, I have checked the settings & also the lock on the bottom bar but it's still not working????

    Check a number of other topics related to this question - causes include hardware lock (with the rotation / mute switch), software lock (music controls) or possibly an app issue - see this discussion https://discussions.apple.com/message/19636641#19636641 in particular for details on different possible causes as well as links for further information (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 in particular). If the usual solutions don't work, it may be worth looking into newly installed / updated apps that may hijack the rotation lock as I've just come to experience myself.

  • HT4085 Screen won't rotate despite trying all recommendations in help ?

    Screen won't rotate despite trying all recommendations in help ?

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then 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
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Ipod 3rd Gen Touch screen won't rotate to landscape

    My Ipod Touch 3rd Gen froze in middle of the screen rotating to landscape mode one day. After having to restart it the screen won't rotate all the time now, just whenever it chooses to. I checked and the screen lock is off.  I've restored it and it worked once then went right back to the problem, same as if I reset or turn it off. I'm starting to think something got corrupted after it froze and then I reset it.

    I think the highest I've dropped it from is maybe 3 feet but it still worked fine. When it froze I had it in landscape then flipped it to normal,put it on a JVC dock the went to flip it into landscape again to play a video at which point it just froze. Then I restarted it and it's been deciding when it wants to rotate. As if right now I have he newest OS and it's curretly working. It may be fixed or it may be a trap. I'll keep an eye on it for today then see of it still ends up don the smas thing.

  • My iPad mini screen won't rotate

    Why my ipad min screen won't rotate.

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, swipe up from the bottom to get to the control center. Look for the lock icon in the row of icons at the top. It will be the last one on the right. Check that to see if the screen is locked.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

    Howdy syafiqahmad,
    If your iMessage and FaceTime still hasn't activated by now, I would recommend you use this specific section of the following article as long as you verify you've done all the other troubleshooting from it for this issue:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime 
    If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • My iPad video screen won't rotate orientation?

    iPad screen won't rotate when watching apple movies, still works for other apps etc???

    Close the videos app in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPad screen won't rotate.the locks are not on

    iPad screen won't rotate. I checked to make sure it wasn't lock. Can anyone help please

    Hi,
    There are three things you can do.
    1) Check the function of the side switch - in the Settings app, under General.
    2) Try a reset by holding the on/off and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
    3) If this fails, take it to an Apple Store.
    Hope this helps and Happy Holidays!

  • After updating to latest version, Firefox won't open

    I am running Windows 7. After updating to the latest version, Firefox won't open. I get a notice when I try to open Firefox saying "Couldn't load XPCOM. Is there a way I can undo the update so I can get Firefox to open. It's my favorite browser...I'm having to use another browser to ask my question.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 23: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
