IPad's auto-rotation frequently stops working.

Hi there, my iPad's auto-rotation frequently stops working and the only way I can get the screen to rotate gain, is to reboot. It used to be once in while but now happens every day which is very frustrating. What can I do to stop this? Thanks, Siobhan

I know you already stated that you have to reboot, but make sure you're doing it this way. I've found some that do it differently and the results can be different.
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Why did my auto rotate feature stop working in only my text screen?

It started doing this on it's own.

Check to see if the rotation lock is on. Right here.

Eraser in CS5 just stopped working

I am working on a floor plan in CS5 Photoshop. Just basically tracing over an original document and erasing what I trace over. I do this all the time and it has been working fine. But now the eraser won't work at all. When i turn off all the layers except the background layer I can erase things, but then when I turn the layers back on, it doesn't show up erased. I've tried resetting the tool and that didn't work. I'm so confused as to why it just stopped working. Any suggestions????

1. Select the Move tool (V) and in the properties bar under the may menu check Auto-Select and make sure Layer is selected on the menu next to it.
2. Click on the spot you want to erase and watch what layer is selected (highlighted) in the Layer's panel. This is the layer blocking the area on a layer below that you want to erase.
I always use the Move tool in Auto-Select mode and when I don't want it I hold Ctrl key down which toggles the mode. So, if the Move tool is with its default setting to not auto select, you can keep it like that and just press Ctrl while clicking with it to temporarily engage the auto-select mode

Dock Auto-Hiding always stops working

This has become very frequent. I do not know if it is conflicting with something else I have done similar to the Stuffit bug (when stuffit crashes finder on a right click every 5 clicks or so) .
My dock just simply will not re-appear. I normally go to Utilities, Activity Monitor then quit the dock process which will reload it.
Does anyone know why my dock stops working properly so often? Anyone else have a similar issue with the dock auto-hide feature stops working (it simply does not reappear on mouse over).
I use an external dell monitor, a wacom intuos 3 6x11 tablet and an e-sata express card if those addons could attribute to the problem.
Thanks in advance!

Does the problem go away without these devices connected?

Blackberry Torch 9810 auto-rotating not working !

Hello guys my friend just bought a Blackberry Torch 9810 few weeks ago , only two weeks I think.
And yesterday she found out that the auto-rotating doesn't work - that is the first time she tried to rotate the phone because she want to stream a video.
Hard or Soft reset has been done , reboot has been done , sliders not open , no rotation lock apps has been installed.
Is this the sensor problem ? I mean , the phone is like brand new and just bought two weeks and the sensor got problem so fast ?
If anyone knows that exact and working solution please help ~
Thank you.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

It could be...any device designed, built, and operated by humans is subject to a defect rate greater than zero. But, at an internet distance, it is of course impossible to provide an actual diagnosis, especially if the problem indeed is hardware. Only in hand evaluation by a qualified technician can truly diagnose a hardware problem.
Good luck and let us know!

Envy x2 auto-rotate does not work, after upgrading to windows 10. And touchpad gestures

I have installed the latest HP Support Assistant for windows 10 and I have installed the updates Intel Virtual Button DriverHP System Event Utility Updates failed to install without giving reason: Intel Serial I/O driver Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver In display settings I have checked the box of "Allow the screen to auto-rotate" In Windows Update I have updated with Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3074678)Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3074676)Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3081424) In Device Manager under Sensors HID Sensor Collection V2, working properlySdo Sensor V2, working properly I have done deleting these devices and reinstalling them In User Account I have created a new user with password. Auto-rotate did not work in that user But all these have not worked. Please find a solution for me. About the TouchPad gesture: swipping inside from the left use to switch app, now does not work.swipping inside from the right use to bring out charm bar/ action centre, now does not work

Yes. I found the answer here:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/HP-Envy-x2-13-j020CA-Windows-10-Auto-Rotate-Autorotate-now/m-p/5212887#M115445I've tried replacing the driver on Sdo Sensor V2 device with the Simple Device Orientation Sensor and rotation works just like it did on 8.1.For the record - Sdo Sensor v2 reports the device orientation continiously, and Simple Device Orientation Sensor reports it only when the orientation changes. Must be a Windows bug then.

Hi, i have an IPod Touch 4g. One of the earphones just stops working after while,no matter how many times i replace them. What do i do?

Hi, i bought my IPod 4G about 7 months ago. After about a mont of buying them, one the earphones just stopped working which became extremely annoying..so i bought a new set of earphones and they worked well for about 5/6 months and then one of them stopped working as well. About 2 weeks ago, i bought a new set of earphones and now the right earphone of that has stopped working as well. The thing is, the earphone doesnt just stop working on my IPod, it also stops working on my laptop...and now i am very confused as to where the problem lies. I can't keep buying headphones every other week cos that is just too expensive and i dont know if the problem lies with my IPod or what! The same thing is happening to my sister's IPod as they were purchased at the same time. What do we do??

This previous discussion discusses the same if not similar problem.

Can't open a dng or raw file in cs5, just stops working. So many problems in cs5!

I totally feel for you. Just upgraded from cs4 to cs5 and it was the biggest mistake i ever made. It will probably end my livelihood as a photographer since EVERY time i open a raw file it crashes photoshop, makes it freeze up after i have adjuted the file in camera raw then I hit open; i get a few bars then it just stops working.
Even got tech help, which helped when i was on the phone with them. The next day the problem came back even when I danced the same jig that I did when I had the guy on the phone - he had me move a raw file on to the desktop rather than take open from my hard drive, then I was able to open it, so we came to the conclusion that my drive was corrupt. I had the same information backed up on a brand new hard drive so we compared files from the each drive against the other. The files from the new drive opened successfully. Yesterday. Now Photoshop cs5 doesn't open any raw or dng files at all from anywhere so it can only be a problem with photoshop. We thought we had the problem solved but we did not. This never happened on CS4 unless i was trying to open 30 or more raw files, and even then it gave me a warning that it had no more ram, it didn't just lock up and do nothing. I'm at my wit's end. Even though there are a lot of great new things in cs5, they aren't very useful if you can't use the product to do the simplest thing.

1) Install the Photoshop 12.0.1 update
2) Install the latest ACR update.
If problems continue after that, then there probably is something wrong with your system.

My Ipod just stopped working, the screen got black and now I can't open it. I have tried to charge it but it doens't work.

My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store?

Try:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

My ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

Most likely, water damage.
You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)

My lock button doesn't work. It didn't break, it just stopped working

Ok. So apparently during a workout outside, my brand new, month old iPhone 4S decides it wants to workout too. So I brought it to my workout, put it in a backpack, and set the bag down as I normally do. The dew on the grass that morning apparently casused enough condensation to trigger my litmus paper, and now my brnad new iPhone has no warranty, hence my question here. I have been searching for a week or 2 now on information for this, and can find nothing. Apple will do nothing but tellme they can replace the phone for $200 but then won't wanswer questions about the issue itself, and I seem to be the only iPhone owner in the world with this problem, so it's nowhere on the intarwebz.
So my lock button, up top, on the shoulder, stopped working. It didn't break, it didn't get stuck down, it just stopped working. Like, the screen flashed (go to wake the phone up, it didn't wake up, so I pressed the button again, and it flashed on and then off again real quick, like normally would). Hit it again, nothing. Hit the Home button, woke up. Played with phone, etc, went to put to sleep...... nothing. Hit the button multiple times, nothing. Button still clicks down and functions as the button itself should, but no sleep or wake. The button only actually does what it's supposed to do when I hard reset, or the phone is off and I'm turning it on. I can't take a screenshoot of the phone, and every now and then my phone will be just sitting on the table or wherever, and it will wake up, the "Slide to Close" bar pops up, and then 15 seconds later, goes back to bed.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and what should I look at fixing inside? I have not taken this one apart yet as I don't have the tools anymore, waiting on them to get here, but I figure Apple has screwed me on my warranty, so I'm just going to fix it myself. Never had this specific issue before, so I'm not really sure what the **** is messed up until I can take a look inside. Any help until then would be wonderful. Sorry for the long back story, and thanks for looking.

Your problem is rare from the symptoms you describe. Most lose the click function, yours still has it. Yours functions sporadically or only for certain functions. Maybe it is liquid damage causing this. Maybe it will dry and be OK.
While waiting for your Pentalobe Screwdriver, try a Firmware Restore with iTunes. See if this helps. If you still decide to procede, the first step inside should be to carefully disconnect the battery at its connector. Also all the screws inside are different sizes, except for some of the Screen screws, so keep them well sorted.

2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

The power supply is shot. But that it lasted even this long is the wonder.. not that it died.
The TC runs too hot..
Look on ebay for "Time Capsule power supply"
You can get a replacement and fix it although the economics are not so good.. it is probably time for a new TC.
If you can DIY it is really only a few dollars worth of capacitors that go bad.
