For those unhappy about the rotation lock change

Apple evidently heard all the complaints about the change in the rotation lock in iOS4. On the new ipad you can choose:
Customize the switch on the side of your iPad to lock the screen rotation or mute the volume. So you can lock your iPad display in landscape or portrait. Or quickly go from volume on to volume off. Just configure the side switch in Settings to toggle between your options.
This is listed as an iOS 4.3 feature, so it may be coming back to the original ipad, too, I hope.

I want to get my rotation switch back through osmosis. I don't want no stinkin' upgrade to down load. AAUUGGGGHHHH/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
OK enough.

  • HT4623 SOMEHOW the icon for rotation lock is missing from the control bar. I tried to reset but my passcode doesn't work. First, how do I find my passcode? Then, if I reset, will it return the rotation lock to the control bar?

    I don't know how it happened why, but the icon for rotation lock is missing from the control bar. Second problem, the passcode for my iPad isn't working. I wrote it down, so not sure what the problem is. HELP

    If the setting for the rotation lock is missing it is because you are using the side switch to control the rotation in Settings>General>Use Side Switch to>Lock Rotation. The software switch in the control center should be for Muting system sounds.
    you have to restore the iPad in orde to unlock it now.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong ...
    If you are sure that you are entering the correct passcode, reboot the iPad and then try again and see if it is accepted.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Like to know about the physical lock for imac behind

    Like to know about the physical lock for imac behind?

    The only product I'm aware of is the Griffin Cable Lock.
    My personal preference is for a bike cable lock through the hole in the stand to an eyebolt in the wall behind.

  • I inadvertently set the rotation lock device on my i phone.

    i inadvertently set the rotation lock device on my i phone.
    i see on line how i am supposed to gain access to the device.
    1) by tapping twice on home button/then swiping left to reveal controls
    (this is not happening for me for some reason)
    2) by going on settings to set side switch
    (also not happening---i see no related setting)
    i'm afraid whatever i did to disengage the rotation also elminated the side switch device entirely.
    any thoughts?
    thanks for any help...

    The location has changed since the installation of the new iOS. Go to the Control Center. You get there by swiping upwards from the bottom of the screen. Once you see the Control Center, the orientation lock is the on the top row, the last icon on the right. White is on, black is off.

  • IPhone 4 how do I turn off the rotation lock.

    How do you turn off the rotation lock.

    This typifies the difference between Cook and Jobs. Poor execution of a simple feature. Dumb and thoughtless. As cliche as it may be Apple isn't exceptional without Steve. Perhaps only Johnny Ives can deliver us something as great as Jobs. I laugh as my iphone starts to become irrelevant. ?

    i tried to remove the rotation lock, it is not off but the screen still will not rotate. Any suggestions?

    Well, if it's not off, that means it's on.  So naturally it will still not roate.

  • My iPad screen won't rotate. The rotation lock is not on and it is out of warranty. What should I do?

    My iPad screen won't rotate. The rotation lock is not on and it is out of warranty. I downloaded a gyroscope app and it says that I am always at 0 degrees. What should I do?

    Hi,
    There are three things you can do.
    1) Check the function of the side switch - in the Settings app, under General.
    2) Try a reset by holding the on/off and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
    3) If this fails, take it to an Apple Store.
    Hope this helps and Happy Holidays!

  • Does BB care that customers are unhappy about the iPhone 5 pre-order process? Should they?

    It is obvious that there are more than a few customers who are unhappy with the iPhone 5 pre-order process. In my case I was unhappy with it. BB kept pointing the finger at Apple. It is well documented in the press that Apple has redirected supply to Apple customers then to phone companies. So, although still unhappy, I was buying BB's explanation.
    Fast forward to this past Saturday. I received an email that my iPhone is ready for pick up. Due to prior commitments over the weekend I planned on picking up the phone on Monday. On Sunday I get an email stating that if I don't pick up my phone by Tuesday my preorder would be canceled. I gave it no thought. This morning (Monday) I got a reminder email. Still everything is good, because I'm going to pick it up today.
    I walked into the store seconds after the door was unlocked. I hand my paperwork to the salesman in the mobile department. He asked me if I had received a phone call. I said no. He said there was no iphone for me. I showed him the emails on my phone. The net result is that I do not yet have my iphone. I am expecting someone at BB to blame the emails on Apple.
    Does BB care about the fact that there are disgruntled customers? Should they? They no longer have any brick and mortar competitors. Since they have a monopoly in most markets, should they even bother to care? Caring would probably eat into their profits.

    They absolutely should care.  The thing about the iPhone is that it is a product that makes a large splash.  People can instantly talk about it since it is statistically a good ice breaker.  One of the first things I talk about when I discuss my iPhone with other's is where to buy it and I have not recommended Best Buy for the way they have handled this exact scenario.  When they found out what had happend they could have at the very least offered to price match Walmart for the 16GB version.  
    As far as the competition is concerned.  I say that I will be purchasing the more costly electronics online or Costco.  I am through with Best Buy.  I will stop in periodically and "play" with the item's I am interested in purchasing but no longer will I buy from them.  
    By blaming Apple for this and given that Apple has done this to them in the past, I can only wonder how they did not see this coming.  If I were in a situation where I knew the supplier would even consider Shorting me on supply I would demand a written and legally binding statement by that supplier that I would not get stiffed for the devices.  It only makes sense that if you have a contract to sell then you have a contract to secure your supply.
    If this contract existed we would be hearing about a lawsuit against Apple by Best Buy but they don't have this agreement so they just look amature and naiive.  
    Good luck to you in getting your phone.  I simply walked into an Apple Store in Cupertino CA on 09/21/12 at 5PM and walked out by 5:30PM with all my contacts and email set up.

    i dont get it, it has the same functions as a Zen 20 GB, except longer battery life by a few hours and different physical appearances, whats all the fuss about? Make a brand new mp3 player for a few more hours of battery life? Seems kinda pointless...
    On the one hand it's not that different, but on the other it is still different. There will be those who argue that Creative should focus on the players they have, but there is another school of thought that if Creative can make a better player perhaps they should to keep ahead of the competition. Of course it's mostly about getting ahead of the iPod, and this player is smaller than the iPod which is one important design factor. If it can leverage all that the Micro has to offer as well, and is available in up to a 60Gb form factor at a lower price than the iPod, that's a helluva start.
    DM wrote:And about the dock.... Yes thats one good idea. Those of us who are familiar with the Dell DJ's know how handy a dock can come in, esp when its used in your car together with an AUX port as the docks have a line-out connector which provides a better sound than the headphone jack does. Wonder if the connector is similar to the DJ?
    I hope that Creative will now stick with a single dock connector, and connection protocol, and keep using it on new players. This gives a better chance of accessories being available that will use it.

  • HT4085 Is there any way I can have the rotation lock off but not have to set my iPad to mute?

    For some reason my iPad has done something strange, either I have to lock the rotation or mute some of the sounds....I didn't have to do either of these before, is there anyway I can have both working at the same time?

    I have posted this many times in order to try to help users understand how this works. Hopefully, it will make things clearer for you.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • After current update the rotate lock locks in landscape mode..

    Ive tried restarted my phone and such and doesnt seem to help. After the current update 10.3.1.1581. When i turn my rotation lock on it rotates my view in the hub or anything to landscape and locks it there instead of portrait. Quite annoying.

    Turn rotation lock off, while not ideal I found that at least when the phone is held in portrait orientation the apps display in portrait, there is a knowledge base article about this, sorry I don't have the link to hand. But they are aware of the issue but no fix as yet.
