Can't turn off Rotation Lock after upgrade to iOS 8

After upgrading iPad to iOS 8, the device is locked in portrait mode. I assume this is what "Rotation Lock" means. In Settings, Rotation Lock is checked and cannot be changed. I don't have this problem with my iPod Touch. What is the fix?
Thanks in advance.

WIth IOS8, I believe it was because I had turned the physical knob to MUTE on the iPad. For some reason, the two are connected. Turn mute off and it should work.
They are not connected.
Mute and rotation lock are independent.  However, as I said above, they can be controlled by the same side switch, but it depends on what said switch is set to in Settings->General->Use Side Switch For.

Whatever is not checked there will appear in control center.
The checked option will be controlled by the side Switch above the volume control buttons.
Of course this only applies to iPads up to the iPad Air. Since the iPad Air 2 did away with the side switch, everything is controlled via the control center on the iPad 2.

  • Can not turn off apple tv after upgrade

    Processed the last updgrade for my apple tv 2nd gen.  Now holding down center button will not turn it off?  anybody else having these issues?

    **** never knew it just went to sleep, always thought it went off, geeze just found this out, lol. I updated from 5.0.1 or something like that to 5.3 so I guess lots has changed. I used to have to turn on wifi from the menu bar for anything to show up(other than the icons) and press the play button for a few seconds and it went to sleep(what I thought was off). now, it's always on, I can see the music, the movies(except the ones in my library). when I open itunes, I can see my movies in the library, all without turning on wifi in the menu bar. could this be because the wifi is always on and the update enables me to not have to turn wifi on in the menu bar, like I had to before? or is this a non issue because that's the way it works now? whew.
    thanks all

  • HT4113 Can not turn off passcode lock

    I can not turn off passcode lock. I see it and it is grayed out. I can change the password, etc. but I can not turn it off  I plugged the phone into a friends computer a few days ago to charge it. Does that have something to do with it?

    There is an exchange account on the device and the Admins of that account require a passcode lock on the device.

  • Can't find my downloaded movies after upgrade ipad2 iOS 5

    After aan easy upgrade to ios5.1.1 I can not find my downloaded movies after upgrade ipad2 iOS 5.

    You are looking in the videos app - correct?
    If they are not in there - try this ....
    Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. If a movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should hopefully start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK and if the rest of your movies have appeared.
    If they still do not show up - sync them back from iTunes on your computer.

  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone
    I am selling my Portege R830-10Q so I want to restore it to factory settings (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.
    I have successfully brought the laptop to factory settings by using the _TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard_ and choosing *Recovery of Factory Default Software (Recover to out-of-box state)*. However, at the end of the recovery process and after everything is re-installed I was not able to TURN OFF the laptop. I was only given the option of restarting it. After restating it, the Windows set-up process starts.
    I don't want to set-up Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows set-up for the person who buys the laptop from me. How can I switch off the laptop after the system recovery without having to set up Windows?
    I'd really appreciate your help.
    Regards
    Pedro

    When recovery procedure is finished and you are asked for restart just press power button and switch it off. I think it only thing you can do.
    Anyway, why not to start Windows and go through setup option. New owner can change this basic settings anyway. As username put Admin and language and keyboard can be set as default.
    For instance, if you have German recovery image set everything to German. New owner can change it anyway.

  • Can't turn off Apple TV after update

    Updated my 2nd gen Apple TV this morning to iOS 5.1.  Now I cannot put the ATV to sleep by pressing the middle button anymore.  Anyone know how to put it to sleep, besides going through the setting menu?

    After upgrading to itunes 11 my apple tv2 no longer appears in itunes. Airplay?!  So those of us with wired networks are now S.O.L.?    This makes no sense.  I remember after upgrading to OS 10.8. that my 2 year old intel i5 imac can't use aiplay to stream movies to the apple tv.  Fine.  So, now Apple have applied the same built in obselecence approach to itunes audio, requiring those of us with 2 year old equipment to go out and by new stuff just to play music on another set of speakers?  How does that strike you for environmentally friendly? 2 years. Sorry for the rant .  If anyone knows of a workaround I'd love to hear about it.  Maybe if I turn everything on and off enough times it will work...

  • Can I turn off rotate on the touch pad?

    Hello, community.
    I've recently bought my macbook pro, and I'm really enjoying it, and it's just insanely genious. It has but one little annoying flaw, which is the rotate effect on the multitouch pad.
    I was wondering if it was possible to turn off the effect. I like all the other applications regarding the pad, it's just the one, but it seems that I can't configure it myself.
    Grateful for answers.

    Log out and back in as a different user. You may have to set up a different account to log back in with, but you should keep one around in any case for testing issues such as this.

    Someone PLEASE HELP!

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:

    Restart / Reset

    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • I can't agree to the terms after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3 because my phone is giving me a defunct Apple ID - help!

    I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3. When I switch on my phone again it asks me to sign in with my Apple ID.
    This is fine - except that it's giving me the email address I was using six months ago. I have never used that Apple ID with this phone, and it's no longer associated with my iCloud account.
    Because I can't sign in, I also can't agree to the terms and conditions. This means that I can't use my phone.
    This is beyond upsetting, I don't even have an alarm clock for tomorrow morning! How can I get it to prompt me using the current email address for my Apple ID? I've logged into my Apple ID on the site and the former address isn't associated with the account in any way, so I don't know where it's getting this old data from.
    Of course all Apple stores in my city are booked solid until Monday. I cannot wait that long.
    Any help would be really appreciated!

    The fix is to log into your current account. Go to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email and apple id back to the old email address (doesn't matter if you have it any longer). Once the change is made, then enter your password for that account on the device. Once you get in, go ahead and go back to appleid.apple.com and change it back. That fixed mine.
    need to edit this to clarify a bit

  • How can I turn off text auto-correct in Number IOS?

    I use Numbers as a project workbook and it drives me insane I cant turn off text auto-correct. I use a bunch of abbreviations that Numbers wont allow without constantly changing to the extent that its almost useless.

    Auto correct is controlled at the system, not apps, level (with a few possible exceptions, but Numbers isn't one of them).

  • Can't turn off scroll lock Mac Book Pro Excel

    Suddenly cannot move through cells or enter data in Excel for MAC. Have read all of the discussions on this topic - shift+fn+f12 don't work or any of the other suggested combinations, I have no F14 key or external keyboard, set up keyboard preferences to run fn keys, and there is no scroll lock or keyboard icon in the excel window - nothing works. I somehow turned this on, probably via a keystroke, so I must be able to turn it off - how? I appreciate your help - thank you!

    Problem solved. When naming the droplet in the where to save dialog, make you you put a .app at the end of it.
    Now works perfect.
