Can I 'lock' or change the orientation when viewing photos

I have uploaded lots of holiday snaps, some portrait other landscape. The landscape ones are great and use all of the screen but when I rotate the ipad2 to better vied the portrait pics - the screen rotates. Very frustrating.
Can anyone help please.

You can lock the screen two ways.
Double tap the home button to bring up the recent apps tray. Swipe all the way to the right. See if the lock icon is on the left side . If so, tap it to lock the screen. Then tap the home button to return to the photo that you were viewing.
Or - if you have the side switch set in your settings to lock the screen - use that. The switch is above the volume control switches on the side of the iPad. Try switching that to see if the screen locks.
Read this to see how the side switch can work for you.

  • I cannot find information to help me change the orientation of a video filmed in portrait format but only able to be played back lying on its side  (landscape) instead of upright. All the rotation buttons for iPhoto are not 'engaged' when it is in video .

    Thanks OT,
    I tried the Export function but it would not allow me to choose the option of exporting to iMovie. I think you are right about needing Quicktime Pro. I opened iMovie and imported the clip from iPhoto and with some searching found the 'cropping, rotation' mechanism. So I now have a copy in the correct orientation. I plan to import/export it back to iPhoto because I want to have a copy on my iPhone to show people and I wanted to have it available as part of a slideshow I am making in iPhoto of my recent overseas trip. It is a pain that there is no simple orientating tool for the movie clips downloaded to iPhoto with the photos from the one camera.

    You cannot remove or change the old ID. This is Find My iPhone Activation Lock. You need to recover the credentials for the Apple ID originally used to activate the iPad.

  • Why I can not change the display when I turn the Ipad from horizontal to vertical position ?

    Please help to give me the guide line to solve the problem in my Ipad
    I can not change the display when I move the ipad from horizontal position to vertical position

    Have you got a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can lock rotation either 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; 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 is no lock symbol then try a reset and see if rotates after the iPad has restarted : 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.

  • How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.

    How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.
    As an example, html widget has white background on iPad, and black on mac. The same goes for interactive widget.
    The MathType text inserted is inserted as a image, and will have the same color when in fullscreen as when not. So I need the textcolor to be the same in both views. Anyone know how to fix this?

    We're still not communicating. This is why I wanted an example .iba.
    Here's a re-creation of my own, going off what you described. You said "all html widgets and all gallery widgets" have this problem. So I inserted a blank HTML widget and a blank Gallery widget, and typed into both. Inserted a MathType equation into both. I don't see any difference when I preview it on my Mac compared to the preview on the iPad. I want to help, but I can't help if I can't duplicate the issue.
    I've attached the screen shots and the .iba file [link to .iba file].
    Feel free to email me directly at bobm at dessci dot com. If you're uncomfortable giving some information here, tell me anything you want in email. I work for the "MathType company", Design Science.

  • How can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in?

    how can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in? is there a app i can download so it will recognize it? i have a vauxhal astra and the controls are on the steering wheel

    First question is how old is Astra and you are in UK ( well you must be to have a Vauxhall)
    Normally the Radio only has a line in socket  to allow sound
    You have two choices here either a simple cable with a 3.5mm Headphone plus at each end
    or a cable with the headphone plug to place in car's line in plug and a wide Apple socket to fit the base of your iPhone This allegedly gives better sound but  you have to control the iPhone for music selection
    The equipment you need to control the iPhone from the Steering Wheel controls ,which I suspect currently handles radio /Cd  tracks /stations ,is much more complicated it will have to be integrate with the Factory Fitted  radio
    and designed to manage the S/Wheel  controls and translate to the iPhone .
    Fitted into back of radio etc etc
    If car is a recent Vauxhall there may be a kit available from them .but will not be cheap
    Many imponderables you did not give much away in your OP

  • Why are my apps changing when i change the orientation from landscape to portrait

    Recently, on my ipad mini retina, when i change the orientation from landscape to portrait, the apps change. For example, when i enter a game like impossible and change to landscape to play it and then exit the screen has shifted to either the right or left and shows the first line of the next pages apps. Its kind of like when im in the middle of changing from one page to another but it only changes back to normal when i tough the screen. Im not sure if this has anything to do with the new 7.1 ios but it is becoming really annoying

    I know it is not a specific app problem because it happens when i come out of some of my apps, it doesnt happen all of the time, only sometimes. Also if any of you could help me with another issue with the same device, when i connect to wifi/hotspot i get static on the screen, it is very noticable when i show a dark picture or a large amount of the screen is a dark colour but i wanted to know if this was normal with the ipad mini retina. I have seen discussions about this device having problems connecting to wifi but i havent found any discussions on this. Does anyone know could cause this?

  • When i got my i phone they had me answer questions for security and now i went to itunes to buy something and they asked me totally different questions...so now i cant buy things from itunes..can i reset or change the questions

    when i got my i phone they had me answer questions for security and now i went to itunes to buy something and they asked me totally different questions...so now i cant buy things from itunes..can i reset or change the questions

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go tomanage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

    Hello Pamela,
    What happens when you try to change the volume with the headphones plugged in?  Anything?  Does this happen with every pair of headphones you try?
    Maybe try resetting the Nano.

  • If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

    If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

    Even with Apple Configurator most of the settings cannot be locked, and that includes the language settings. Most schools and organizations seem to just accept that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads on a regular basis.
