Any key to stop the screen from sliding

any key or application for IPAD, that may help to stop the screen from sliding?

What do you mean by "sliding"? Are you talking about changing orientation from portrait to landscape and vice versa?
If so, then yes. You can lock the screen using either a more permanent solution in Settings > General >Use Slide Switch to "Lock Orientation". This will allow you to flip the switch and lock the screen. if you use the switch as mute lime I do, then you can use the moe ad hoc method...
Double click the Home button to bring up the task bar. Slide it left to see the Audio controls and you will also see an Lock icon. Tap that to lock the screen in the current orientation. You can easily turn it off using the same procedure and still retain the mute functionality of the slide switch.

    how do i stop the screen from rotating on my iphone when i move the phone from horizontal to vertical

    You can lock your screen from rotating. Double-click the home button, then slide your finger to the right until your get to the iPod section. There you click the icon on the left and that will lock your screen. You can unlock it the same way.

  • How to stop the screen from coming on in my pocket on my Samsung GS4

    When I put my Samsung Galaxy S4 in my pocket or my wife puts hers in her purse the display keeps lighting up because the buttons are apparently getting pushed. This is running our batteries down when we aren't even using the phones. Is there a way to stop the screen from lighting?

    Make sure that you don't press the home button or power button when you put the phone away. You can reduce the screen time out time down to 15 seconds thereby reducing the battery usage to that short time period. Also make sure that your phone sleeve is not pressing against those two wake up buttons.

  • HT4890 How do I stop the screen from rotating, I am new to IPad

    How do I stop my screen from rotating when I am using it

    There are a few ways to get the screen to "enlarge", so it depends on what you are doing to make it happen.
    For example, on a trackpad you can double-tap (not click) with two fingers to zoom in web pages.  Or you can slide two fingers in a spreading out fashion to zoom in.
    Do you have any notion about what you are doing when the undesired enlarging occurs?

  • On my iPad 3 is there any way to stop the pictures from flipping 180 when saved?

    When I take pictures with my iPad, when the pictures save they always flip to the opposite side. Like a mirror image. I am wondering if there was anything I can do to fix this as it is extremely annoying!

    Yes the calendar is gone. I guess it is the notification center I am referring to that comes down when I accidently swipe the top of the screen. Is there a way to stop of notification center from coming down if you swipe the screen? I figured out how to stop the control center from coming up if you swipe the bottom on the screen. Now I just need to figure out how to stop the top of the screen from doing the same thing

  • How to stop the screen from side swiping

    hi
    its fustrating sometimes when I'm on the computer and the screen screen swipes to the next page.
    How can i stop this from happening.? Plz.

    What app are you referring too? I suspect you don't know how to use the gestures on your mouse or magic track pad. To learn how and to tweak for your preferences go to System Preferences Mouse or Magic Track Pad.

  • Is there a way to stop the screen from updating till the code is executed?

    My extension needs to export all the layers to PNGs and it creates a lot of moving around in the screen while the operation is complete (eg: switching between layers, cropping the images, etc). I've set the Playback mode to Accelerated as well.
    Is there a way to not update Photoshop UI during the process? (I have seen similar functionality in Microsoft Excel/VBA scripting)

    As a shameless hack: put a layer on top, fill it with the color you like the most and that will prevent the document from revealing what's going on below.
    It's a bit like hiding the dust under the carpet, there might be cases when you need to turn it off (e.g. merge on top) but for basic stuff it does the job.
    Besides that, there's a undocumented "viewless document" or something like that, but you can do very limited processing - XBytor wrote something on ps-scripts.com years ago.

  • How do I stop the screen from scrolling down on start up?

    When I open Firefox the screen scrolls down instead of staying on the top of the page.

    We went around this one a while ago. It turned out that the poster wanted to use webmail by default, but a browser won't by itself be recognized as a valid email client.
    Is there an alternative email client you want to use as default? What happens if you set it as the default?
    If you want to use the browser you'll probably need to find a notifier add-on or applet that can field any requests for email management and thereby launch the browser. .

  • Best way to stop the screen from scratching?

    Hi, under 2 months back I bought a 3G iPod. I love it to death, even more then the 4Gs. My only problem is, the screen keeps scratching! Are any good, cheap, screen protectors on the market?
    I haven't ever abused it, it scratches with something in my pockets. It kinda annoys me.
    Thanks,
    -Patrick, eJoystick

    Hi, you might want to check out some Websites like 3btech.net or monoprice.com
    They might have some cheap film protection for your iPod screen. If you want to get something better to protect the iPod and the screen, you might want to check out iFrogz(tm) nanowrapz, which is a protective silicon case for your iPod Nano 3rd Generation and it includes a protection film for the screen, too. The price is about $12 or cheaper.

  • Is there any way to stop the top from scrolling left in the iTunes store?

    The top part of the iTunes store...where it lists new stuff keeps swiping left.  It's driving me crazy!  How can I stop it?

    You can't . It is used as a carousel to display new items. If it annoys you then scroll down the window until it dissapears and you will have a static displays of new Music, Movies etc
