Automatic Rotation Not Working On iPad 4th Gen iOS 8.1.2

So I recently got an iPad 4 and the automatic rotation is not working at all. I have done every troubleshooting possible including a restore of 8.1.1 and then upgrading to 8.1.2 hoping it would fix the problem and still nothing. Obviously rotation lock is off and I have tried toggling it back and forth through control panel and side switch along with doing multiple hard resets and it just won't automatically rotate at all.
I know my sensor isn't broken because if I change position with the device off and turn it back on it will display the correct orientation, but only if I turn the screen off. Games and other apps that use the gyroscope/accelerometer work fine, yet somehow my automatic rotation function is just broken.
Is anyone else experiencing this same issue? Since I know my sensor isn't broken I just don't understand why this is happening since it doesn't seem like a common problem after trying to find information on the topic.

Try reset iPad.
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Accessory not supported by ipad - ipad2 HDMI connector will not work with ipad (4th gen)

I am a bit frustrated with the fact that I purchased all of the adapters/connectors for my iPad 2 back in the day - and now all are pretty much worthless with the iPad (4th gen.)
The iPad g4 uses the new lightning connector. OK. So, I bought the updated adapter (lightning to 30 pin). HOWEVER, it does not allow the Apple HDMI connector to work... "This accessory is not supported by iPad"
I have to buy yet ANOTHER adapter: the Lightning Digital AV Adapter, and drop $49.00???
RIDICULOUS!

There are only other users here.

ICloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

iCloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

I can see the acknowledgement that this issue will be fixed in the 'next' software update. Considering the original post was for an iPad 2 running 5.0.1, I am not sure if this issue on iOS 5.1 which runs on my new iPad (4G) is considered fixed. As I reported in my previous post it is impossible to update individual tracks. I also tried adding entire collection to a single playlist, shuffling the playlist. While shuffle is in progress, turning to the 'list' view that allows tracks to be rated does who the currently shuffled playlist and the currently playing track and assigns the rating to the track correctly. However, as soon as the second track plays, switching to list view (which displays the ratings) lists only the tracks from the currently playing track's album. Which is insane IMHO.
So, was this not fixed with 5.1 update? Or the iOS 5.1 will get it's own piece of update on this?

Help Back camera not working on ipad 2 using ios 7.0.4

Hi my ipad 2 rear camera is not working. I'm using ios 7.0.4
The camera stops responding every time i switch to rear camera. The screen is all black with the control buttons.
I can not switch back to front camera. I already reset the settings and rebooted the unit.
The problem keeps on coming back.

Have you done a "hard" reset? (hold the home and power buttons down until the Apple logo appears).

Wifi not working - iPod touch 4th gen.

Hi, recently I have been experiencing difficulty joininh my home wifi on my iPod touch 4th gen. I have turned my iPod off and then on again three times, reset the network settings twice and checked the wifi works on other devices, please help! Has this happened to anyone else?

Does the iPod Touch see your home Wi-Fi network? If so, what happens when you try to connect to it? Does you have security enabled on the router/modem such as WEP or WPA/WPA2?

Auto rotate not working on iPad V5

Ever since I upgraded to OS version 5, auto rotation is not working. I have a display of a lock and arrow going around it in the upper right hand side of my screen. How do I turn auto rotate on?

Double click your home button to open your multi-task then slide your finger to the right, tap the lock icon.

TS4062 Home Mac running iOS 10.5.8. I can not sync new iPad 4th gen. I'm told I need iTunes 10.7,but I can not download the new soft ware. Unable to up grade soft ware for my Mac because its telling me its already up to date. What next for me to do?..than

Can't photo stream from iMac 10.5.8. To new iPad 4th G. Can't seem to upgrade iTunes software . What can I do?.. Thanks John.

Buy Snow Leopard upgrade:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
See if the iTunes update is available with software update, get it from downloads (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576), or otherwise find the link to 10.7 in the "how do I downgrade from iTunes 11" threads. Most of them link to non-Apple sites carrying previous software versions like itunes 10.7.

Problems, trying to use backup from 5.1.1 iOS Gen 3 iPod does not sync music to 4th gen iOS 6 iPod.

My 3rd Gen iPod's headphone connector is basically shot, I've had it for around if not over two years now; sometimes I'm surprised it lasted this long; since I am not one who usually listens to her music without headphones, this is problematic, .
Luckily, a family memberI know had a gen 4 iPod, 32g, same space amount as my old one, lying around that they don't use anymore, thank goodness.
Well, in one case, not so much. First of all, said iPod was locked with a passcode (the passcode was guessed so many times because no one could remember it, it locked permenantly) so I had to completely wipe it. However, it wasn't so bad, though all the information was lost, I could finally use iOS 6 on an iPod.
Well, iOS turned out to be a huge problem, in the way of synicing my old backup. I have about, um, an estimated 3000 songs on my 3rd gen iPod, that of which are not all on one computer, and are from multiple computers (my desktop / laptop); I thought all the songs would transfer over with the rest of my things. I didn't think the iOS made a difference.
Lo and behold, I was dead wrong.
When my iPod was restored to my previous backup, it had no music, only my pictures and apps were added. I'd call 'it annoyed me' an understatement. I waited all that time for the ipod to restore and the backup to finish, only to get my one hundered pictures and two apps.
I have tried to look up how to extract music from my iPod, but to no avail, my computer recognizes it as a camera and I can only access the picture files; the way I read you have to do it online, you must be able to actually get into the iPod's folders, besides the picture folders, and I can't seem to do that; there was an option in earlier versions of iTunes that allowed the iPod device to be displayed as something other than a camera but it no longer seems to be an option in the new iTunes.
All the programs for extracting files, specialized for iPod file extraction, actually, cost money, which at the moment, I don't have much of, this iPod was given to me by a family member, and I'm lucky I even have it. Manual extraction is also something I've tried but failed miserably at, as mentioned earlier.
I'm really not up for re-synching one by one, I want this to be as quick and painless as possible. I have the available GB for my 3000 songs (I checked). Most of my songs are mp3s, and some are m4as. Not everything is bought, and not everything is going to be able to be downloaded through iCloud on account of the fact that there are, uh, over 2GB worth of songs, so does anyone have any solutions to my problem here? I have over 50gb in my desktop library alone, loads more in my laptop library, and I really don't feel like separating all the songs from my previous iPod into a single playlist, if there's a more efficient, free solution out there....
This would not have been a problem in the first place, if the passcode was not there; but blame the previous owner of the 4th gen iPod for that. She typed it so many times it locked her out. And so, I had to reset, but not without an automatic update for iOS 6, which my gen3 can't update to, because it's, well, outdated.

Connect the iPod to your computer and update to iOS 6.1.3. You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer.

Full HD (1920 x 1080) through Apple digital AV Adapter not working on iPad 2 running iOS 5.1.1

Hi,
can anybody shed some light on this?
I remember being able to play back FULL HD (1920 x 1080) clips with the AVPlayer-HD app with iOS 4.x
Now, running iOS 5.1.1 it does only play back up to 1280 x 720.
Also, the quality of the mirrored iPad2 screen looks as if it was a composite connection only, very unsharp.
This was diferent - much better before. I used to do presentations like this.
If this is an iOS5.1.1 problem, does someone know a way to downgrade to older versions without jailbreaking it?
All the best,
theunknown_uwe

It works just fine with me (5.1.1, iPad 3 (I don't think the iPad 2 is any different), latest AVPlayerHD, MP$ hardware playback). What do you see in the center of the screen when you tap the TV icon on the center right, right under the speed lever? 1920 * 1080 just like in the screenshot below? (When the res is left at VGA, the print would be 640 * 480):

Ipad 4th gen wont unlock

iPad wont let me unlock on main screen tried everything from a hard restart, to a factory reset with itunes but nothing still wont let me unlock from main screen. Any more ideas would be great with problem.
iPad 4th gen ios 8.1.2 or 8.1.3 not sure since i cant tell if i took after i factory reset it was on 8.1.2 before the issue.

If the touchscreen is not responding, and it appears that you have already tried to restore. If that didn't help, then you are going to have to get it looked at. You can double-check troubleshooting here If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support but if that does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider, whichever applies to your location.

Ipad 4th gen retina display takes too long downloading apps

I have a Ipad 4th Gen ios 6.1.3. When i tap the app store icon it takes too long to show the info. The same occurs when i itry to install some apps. Comparing with a Asus Memo Pad 10 is slower what does not have to be. My network runs till 200mbps and the ipad has full power and full wi-fi connection.
Is there a problem of comfiguration or other?.
Thank you very much for the help.

Have you tried this:
1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Ipad 4th Gen not working at all

Hi
I have an iPad 4th Generation WI-FI and I got it less than 2 years ago and now it doesn't work at all. I will explain a bit more about what happened to it in more detail below. So I was taking photos with it and after I was done I turned it off or as Apple call it "sleep", well I pressed the power button in other words like everyone does, right? Then in the evening I went to go on it and it was blank and wouldn't respond but in the morning it had about 30% battery but anyway it put it on charge using the Apple adaptor and I let it charge for like 30min but when it was charging it kept on showing the Apple logo every 20 seconds but wouldn't go past it. So when I took it off charge I tried holding the Power and Home buttons at the same time for about 20 sec and after about 3 to 4 tries it showed the restore iPad sign with the Lightning cable and the iTunes logo on top of it, so I plugged it into my computer and iTunes poped up and said something like:
iPad 4th Gen detected the device needs to be restored. (By the way my laptop is Win7 and had the latest iTunes on it) So I clicked the restore button and it said EXTRACTING SOFTWARE and after that the line stopped moving and a window came up saying: Unkown Error 4005 and 4013 and it took me to the Apple website and I did all the steps they told me to do and it didn't work and kept on saying the error thing. So I took it to an Apple store and the guy there said he waz restoring it and downloading new software for it and it ended up not workin for him either, but he told me there is nothing to do cause the 1 year warranty expired. Anyway now it doesn't show anything at all not even the restore logo, the apple logo nothing it completely blank and Ive had it on charge for like 2 hours. And I haven't dropped it or anything it doesn't have any physical damage or that. So yeah what should I do? Any suggestions will be appreciated

Hi Try this Connect USB lead to pc hold down power button on iPad connect Lead To iPad still hold button down Wait to see if pc sees iPad keep button down for upto 1 Minute. If that doesn't work make An Appointment at Apple Store. Cheers Brian

My ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area

I had a screen replacement and now the Ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area ( a strip across the middle). We tried 3 different touch screens with digitizer...any ideas?

Since Apple doesn't replace screens, they replace the iPad, I presume you had your screen replaced by an unauthorized service provider or perhaps you replaced it yourself. That voids the warranty and the ability to get assistance from Apple. If someone else replaced your screen take it back to them and demand the correct the problem.
