Can I lock Portrait or Landscape mode?

the iPad has a nasty habit of sometimes switching modes. I would like to lock the mode until I unlock it. I have looked through Settings and did not find a "lock" key.

The screen lock is the slide switch on the right side of the iPad ("right" when held in portrait orientation).
You may want to peruse the iPad User Guide:

That will answer a lot of questions for you.

  • How can I lock, put in lost mode or wipe memory on my stolen iPad if it is the only apple product I own?

    How can I lock, put in lost mode or wipe memory on my stolen iPad if it is the only apple product I own?

    I have already tried this and it doesn't work. It only says no devices. Suppose this means that whoever stole it have already wiped the memory so they can use or sell it. Although I would think the serial number should be connected to the hardware permanently somehow. Don't know how you do that on an iPad that requires a pass code to login to.

  • Since the upgrade to 8.1.2, I can only use "messaging" in landscape mode and not portrait.  Anyone else having this problem?

    I unable to view or type messages vertical or portrait mode...it appears to be locked in horizontal or landscape mode. Any suggestions?

    What user troubleshooting have you tried? User steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. There is no lock for the iPhone in Landscape mode, so I believe a reset should help. Also, double-tap the home button and bring up the multi-tasking bar, find the Messages app and then swipe upwards on the app thumbnail to force it closed.

  • How to strictly lock screen in landscape mode by Agentry editor?

    Hi
    I am using SSM 3.0, Agentry client v6.0.38.1.
    How can I lock Android device screen in strictly landscape mode for our customized Agentry app through Agentry editor?
    If I lock device screen in landscape mode then it will affect other applications too.
    So is there any way to just lock the screen for particular Agentry application?
    Regards
    Prit

    Prit,
    There is no setting in the Agentry to force the application to only landscape or only portrait.
    However, you can through the Android branding process force the orientation.
    After you unzip the SMPAgentryClientFramework-Android-6.0.38.x.zip, in the AgentryAndroidClientSolution folder there is a file AndroidManifest.xml
    You will need to edit this file to add the following directive to the activity tags (12) in the file where the android:name starts with ".ui."
    android:screenOrientation="landscape"
    Here is one example from my file.
    <activity android:name=".ui.screensets.OverlayScreenSetActivity"
                   android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
                   android:theme="@style/AgentryActivityDialog"
                   android:screenOrientation="landscape"/>
    After editing and saving the file simply build the branded client and when you launch the new client on the device it should automatically go into landscape mode no matter what orientation the device is in.

  • A single report can't combine portrait and landscape oriented pages

    Post Author: joelo2
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Hi,
    Can a single report in Crystal report XI (version 11.5.8.826) combine portriat and landscape oriented pages like Crystal report 2008?   For example, I have one main report with several subreports in the main report.  I want one subreport be in portrait page orientation and the other subreports in landscape.  Can I do something like that in Crystal report XI version?    I even tried writing a small .net program to do this, but it doesn't seem to allow me to do that programmatically either.  Please help

    I'd like to elevate this issue with Crystal Reports XI. There is a critical application which we developed in-house which needs both portrait and landscape orientation in each of the 30,000 plus documents we are sending out every month.If developers in Business Objects are picking this thread up - we need a patch for this limitation - quick. Right now, we are toying with the possibility of exporting the documents into a text format with markers indicating if a page is portrait or landscape. This is to be loaded into a Xerox machine (which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars), where it is mapped automatically to portrait or landscape. Note to Business Objects: This will provide us and countless others with much value. Think 80/20 rule - most bang for your development bucks and value for your customers!

  • Can a PDF file in landscape mode have two pages open at once

    I notice when I use ibooks to read a pdf document on my ipad that in normal mode it woks just like a book with one page open, but when I turn to landscape mode, the document just greatly reduces in size, and centers on the screen, where as a book opens two pages side by side, that still turn like a normal book. Is there any way or app that will allow a PDF document to act like a book does in landscape mode, where two pages are open at once side by side and still a decent size. I know it will have to be smaller than it would be in regular mode, but a book works great in Landscape mode.

    Get a free DropBox account.
    Drag the files into DropBox and you can get a link to send to your friend to download.
    Another option with DropBox is to use a Shared folder. If you share files a lot with your friend, setup a Shared folder and everything in the folder will be shared. Obviously they also need to setup a free DropBox account (works on Windows). Just keep the folder size under the 2GB free limit.
    For the future... OS X Yosemite Mail coming this fall, will offer a way to share files like DropBox.
    Mail Drop allows you to attach large files via iCloud.
    Attachments can be up to 5GB in size. -new feature in OS X 10.10 Yosemite Mail

  • My iPhone 4 does not "switch" from portrait to landscape mode in any app. Is there a way to fix this? I'm running 5.0.1

    My phone does not toggle between landscape and portrait mode any more. This is, as far as I tested, in any application. Is there any way to fix this?

    Hi ckuan,
    Thanks a lot for that fast reply. Must have touched that lock button by mistake without noticing.
    Stupid me :-D. Btw happy new year!!!!!

  • I can't lock Firefox into safe mode on You Tube.

    I use Firefox 24 and have followed all the directions given to me by You Tube in order to lock the website into safe mode on the firefox browser. It works until I close firefox. Once I open it again it doesn't remember the setting and goes back to normal mode. It is supposed to be locked in for that browser until someone logs in under my google account and changes it back. I can lock it in Chrome and IE with no problems. I am about uninstall FIrefox...please help!

    Hello Ammonthomas, if you started Firefox in Safe Mode, it will remain in Safe Mode until Firefox is completely closed.
    i think an option is to make the site you want (You Tube) one (or the only) homepage and set firefox shortcut to open in safe mode : right-click the firefox shortcut > properties > target > change the target to : "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
    '''BUT''' firefox with that, always start in safe mode (you lose the normal mode) !!!!
    why do you want to run You Tube in safe mode ?
    where is the you tube video to lock the site in safe mode ?
    thank you

  • IPhone 6 - I can only send photos via iMessage in landscape mode. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo.

    iPhone 6 - I can only send photos in landscape mode via iMessage. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo. Gone so far as erasing all content and settings. Problem persists.

    Howdy jackbry,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you haven’t already, you can try resolving the issue with not being able to send iMessages that contain portrait photos by restoring your iPhone to factory settings as shown in this article:

    So long,

  • [iPhone] How to change Portrait / Landscape mode.

    I am tring to change view mode between portrait and landscape mode.
    UIViewController has two UIViewes and I want them to be shown as a landscape mode.
    I found the property of interfaceOrientation in UIViewcontroller.
    but it is readonly.
    Is there a way to change view orientation not with info.plist but with code.

    You can call setStatusBarOrientation on the UIApplication class and then set your landscape view.

  • Portrait/Landscape mode switching

    I'm still waiting for my imate JASJAM (which is same as HTC
    TyTN) to arrive to test this. Just wonder if there is Actionscript
    to detect if the display is in Portrait or Landscape mode and if
    there is event notification to tell the Flash Lite app that the
    display mode has been changed.

    I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode. So, there is nothing wrong with your phone, unfortunately they removed a very useful feature.  Maybe they will see if enough users want it they will fix it in an update. 

  • IPhone test in landscape mode

    Hi,
    I use Device Central to test my site "through the eyes of an iPhone user", and it works just as expected. Question: Is there an option to view my site on a mobile phone held horizontically, will say: in landscape mode? For the life of me I can't find such an option. I would ask in the Device Central forum, but there seems to be nobody there. If somebody knows of another working emulator that has this feature, I'd be glad also. Thank you for your time.
    Christoph

    Apple has it's own iPhone and iPad emulators when you become an Apple Developer for the iOS platform and download the SDK.  The application comes with an annual fee.  I am sure that you can view your application in landscape mode in those emulators, but there are definitely other Windows-based emulators although I am not sure which ones support the "new" iPhone 4 (screen resolution I'm talking here).
    If you develop your site in Flash and export it using the iPhone Packager there is an option for Landscape, Portrait, or Auto orientation as well as Full-Screen mode.  Flash's iPhone packager can be unreliable though if you don't code your ActionScript properly.  This iPhone packager is only available on Flash CS5 Professional.  The iPhone packager also has the option to choose "iPad" as an output device.

  • Why will iphone not play video in landscape mode anymore

    I am a HUGE purchaser and user of iTunes Music Videos and on my iPhone, I was happily playing them in playlists and watching them in landscape orientation as a video playlist.
    I was quite upset when I bought my first iPad and found that it simply would not support this basic (for me) functionality.   But I searched and found a music video playlist app and purchased what SHOULD HAVE BEEN included functionality on the iPad.   Seriously, if the iPhone could do this basic operation why shouldn't the iPad, which is much better suited for video playlists with the bigger screen?
    Now, after updating to iOS7, you've broken the functionality even moreso.   Imagine my joy, surprise and sheer level of cursing and swearing when I turned my videos into landscape mode and found some dickbag has decided I should see album covers instead of my video in full screen on the phone.
    So, Apple, the "We sell devices so that we can also sell the media" company,   why are you screwing with something that should be basic and intuitive on the phone and ipad?
    I, and I expect everyone else, expect to open the music app, go to the music videos playlist automatically generated in that app (BY your programmers) and then be able to play the videos from the video playlists you allow me to create - my own playlists in both portrait and landscape modes.
    So please fix this ever-increasing pain in the ***.    I will not be purchasing any more videos (And yes, check my history, I am quite likely in the top 5% of purchasers of music videos) because you are slowly removing the intuitive methods for playing them.
    David Patrie

    A revolutionary A7 processor with 64-bit architecture, and none of those bits are smart enough to figure out "hey, maybe if my owner is listening to a video in the Music app and switches to landscape mode they're more interested in seeing the video larger, not unrelated album art thumbnails. Let me temporarily borrow the landscape view logic from the Video app."?
    I hope they fix this at least by iOS 8. It's not logical (let alone user friendly) to exit out of the Music app and go into a separate Video app just to see a music video in landscape. The ironic thing is the Video app forces videos to be landscape – as if the logic it follows is that anyone watching a video really wants to see it in landscape – but yet that logic gets kicked off the boat when the video digits cross the river over to Music app land.

  • WiFi icon disappears in landscape mode

    On my 32GB iPhone 3G-S running version 3.1.2, while in Safari or Mail, the WiFi icon disappears when I turn the phone from portrait to landscape mode. I am still connected to the WiFi network OK and can use the applications fine, but there is no verification that I am connected. For completeness, I am currently in Europe and have placed the phone in Airplane Mode to avoid international roaming and data charges.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior?

    Well - I appear to have, at least temporarily, solved this problem by doing a phone reset. Icon is now staying visible in landscape mode after the reset.
