Help please. Ipad2 stuck in portrait rotation

Hi. I got an ipad2 for Christmas. It works fine, kids love it etc but since Tuesday it has been stuck in the portrait orientation. I find it easier to work landscape and I player is much better landscape.
I have tried the suggestions I've already found on here. The slide switch was on mute, changed it to screen position and unlocked screen and it is now back to mute. Have double clicked the home button and the circle icon at the far side is also unlocked. There is no locked icon on the screen. Have put to sleep and have held lock and home button down to reset. None of it works.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks

There's a fairly standard sequence of recommended steps to run through when an app and/or the iPad itself isn't working as it should. They're laid out in the Troubleshooting section of your User's Manual and have been extensively quoted in these and other forums.
In a case like yours I'd start by powering down, completely, using the red slider, and then after essentially no delay booting it back up again. I'd actually expect that to work but, if it didn't, I'd next try a Reset.
Your text hints that you might have tried that already but, given that you didn't use the term and also didn't describe what you actually did, for a Reset (also Hard Reset, System Reset, etc.) you basically
a. Press & hold both the Home and the Sleep/Wake buttons, ignoring the appearanceof the red Power Off slider bar, until
b. It disappears and is replaced by the white Apple logo, at which point the buttons are released and you allow a normal powerup sequence to continue.
Still not working? Steps after that are limited: You have to re-load the OS and if that doesn't work then you're talking to Apple about repairs or replacements.

Doing a search on Google revealed this:
if you ever edited your hosts file ...change it back. basically do the reverse of this to about step 5:
mac
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7556
windows
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7557
(editing the file back to the original worked for me)
Follow those instructions and see if that helps.

Help please ! stuck on the connect to itunes screen !

Could someone please help,my daughter's Touch is stuck on the screen telling you to connect to itunes, been like it for 2 days don't know what to do !
thanks

Have you tried a simple reset: pushing in both the "home" & "sleep/wake" button" to bring it up from "off"? I'm assuming you can at least turn the unit on & off, that wasn't explained.

Help please: Action for arbitrary image rotation: 300 different files, each at a different angle

Hi everyone,
I have some 300 images, all handheld shots done in an on-location studio set. They all need varying amounts of image rotation since they're handheld. There's a beaded curtain in the background, so manually I use the ruler tool, draw a line along a strand of beads, and then image/rotate/arbitrary.
I need to create an action that will (1) do the arbitrary rotation and then (2) save and close the file.
However, when I record this, the value of the rotation of the sample file I'm working is what gets recorded (not surprising). In other words, if image A needs 0.28 degrees of rotation, that's not what I want for image B which might need -0.15 degrees instead. The action recorded 0.28.
Is there a way to create an action that will simply rotate according to the ruler once I've drawn it?
Thanks!
Jerry

True - and I am a keyboard shortcut dude. But got it working (I was impressed that using the mouse to unclick the last step in the history worked...), and things are doing what I needed.
And I'm hoping that my suggestion of the last-step undo will make CS5 on par with CS6 in this one small aspect, and perhaps help someone else...
Many thanks to you!!!
BTW - all in the FWIW - you can see what our work as photographers looks like here:

If you are at all into music/rock 'n roll, you'll probably have fun on our music/stage gallery. Groups like YES, Heart, Thomas Dolby, etc. use a bit of our work - just a bit of fun...
Again - thanks and best wishes,

Help please im stuck

Design and implement an application that plays the Hi-Lo guessing game with numbers. The program should pick a random numbre between 1 and 100 (inclusive), then keep asking the user to guess the number. On each guess, report to the user the he or she is correct or that the guesses correctly or quits. Use a sentinel value to determine whether the user wants to quit. Count the number of guesses and report that value when the user guesses correctly. At the end of each game (by quitting or a correct guess), ask wether the user wants to play again. Keep playing games until the user chooses to stop.
OK so this is as far as I've gotten and I don't know what else to do besides making a nested if statement.
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;
public class Guessing
    public static void main (String[] args)
        final int max=10;
        int answer,guess,give;
        Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
        Random generator = new Random();
        answer = generator.nextInt(max) + 1;
        System.out.print ("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and "+max+". Guess what it is: ");
        guess = scan.nextInt();
        if (guess==answer)
                System.out.println("You got it! Good Guessing!");
        else
        {System.out.print ("Sorry wrong answer please guess again: ");
                guess = scan.nextInt();}

well now i have this but i think the for statement is wrong
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;
public class Guessing
    public static void main (String[] args)
        final int max=10;
        int answer,guess,reportCount;
        Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
        Random generator = new Random();
        answer = generator.nextInt(max) + 1;
        System.out.println ("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and "+max+".");
        System.out.print ("Guess what it is: ");
        guess = scan.nextInt();
        while(true){
            System.out.print ("Sorry wrong answer please guess again: ");
            guess = scan.nextInt();
        if (guess==answer){
                System.out.println("You got it! Good Guessing!");
                 break;
        else
        System.out.print ("");
        for(guess=1;guess++)
            (reportCount=reportCount+guess);
            System.out.println(*some variable*);

My ipad2 is stuck in portrait mode after iOS 7.0.4 update. How do I get it to rotate again?

My ipad2 is stuck in portrait mode after iOS 7.0.4 update. How do I get it to rotate again?

Try following the instructions in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message/23028588#23028588

HT4085 Did all of these options as instructed. Screen still doesn't rotate and remains stuck in portrait view

Did all of these options as instructed. Screen still doesn't rotate and remains stuck in portrait view. Help?

Not sure what you've already tried. Have you locked it using the Side Switch then accidentally changed the side switch to permit Muting/Unmuting?
Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: Lock Rotation (make sure check box is here).
Then try sliding the side switch. Also try turning off the device by holding the power and home buttons, then sliding the red slider to the right (then repower).

I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands

I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands such as Command R, Holding down the Option key, C and holding down shift at the start up but nothing happens.
initialy All I was trying to do was downgrade 10.7 to 10.6 .

You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying. If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:

Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities. In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs. You may need them.

How do I retrieve photos/data etc. from my iPhone 4 before a completely erasing restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen! Help please!!!

I connected my iPhone 4 to my PC to sync all my new info to iTunes/PC, but it said it was not able to recognize it and needs to do a complete restore! How do I retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 before a complete restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen and won't do anything else! I tried rebooting the phone (holding the top button and the home button and the SAME "connect to iTunes" screen comes up. If I restore, I will lose ALL my unsynced photos, apps, and data from the past week (INCLUDING pics from a concert WITH band members!) Help please! MAYDAY! My prior backup does NOT contain these photos/apps/data! Ahh!!!!

I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

I have an ipod 2g , The keyboard won't work! Or at least some of it's letters and numbers won't. please help i'm stuck with emojis

i have an ippd touch 2g , a part of my keyboard won't work , i can type letters but i can't type numbers . please help i'm stuck with emojis keyboard

Try restarting the iPod by holding down the lock and home button together and then slide the power button to turn it off and then wait 10 seconds and start it up again. If it is not a reset issue then it may be a hardware issue. Is your iPod damaged or have you dropped it recently? If it is a hardware problem then you may not be able to fix it. If your iPod has multitasking options like the new iOS devices, close out the app and then try again, it should reset your device to letters instead of emojis.

Macbook stuck on white screen with apple logo. help please

I have a macbook (black model) and while I was surfing on internet it is frozen. so I shut it down and restarted. When I restarted, it stuck on white screen with gray apple logo and seems like booting but nothing happens.
after that, I restarted again and put installation disc (leopard) without pressing any key and it opened normally. I backed up os with time machine but in one hour it is frozen again.
restarted again but this time it did not boot normally. so i tried booting from cd with c key, it opened installation screen. I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.
After all, I tried to erase and install system several times, but after language section when I click agree to terms and conditions, mac freeze again.
So, I do not know what to do. Any help please?
Note: I already tried PRM and Safe Mode. (after safe mode it took me to installation screen again and nothing changed.)
Any help would be much appreciated!
Uptade: Also, opened system profiler and clicked on Serial-ATA, it seems loading but do not show any info. stucked again! help please

HI,
*"I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported."*
You need to select "MacintoshHD 10.5.8 not "disc image" in order to run Disk Utility and Verify and if necessary, Repair the disk.
That's why you are seeing this dialog.
*are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.*
Also, run the Apple Hardware Test.

Stuck on Apple Logo - unlocked phone, NOT jailbroken - HELP PLEASE!!

I have an unlocked 3GS and it is NOT jailbroken. It ran out of battery last night and when i charged it this morning it has got stuck on the apple logo wont do anything else. My computer doesnt pick it up either! Can somebody HELP please!!!
nb. I havent updated it for a while so it is running on a 3. something operating system.

Howdy Loylabel,
It sounds like you are unable to use your iPad because it will not get past the Apple logo. You've done just about everything I would have done so far. I would next reset the device while you have it connected to the wall charger that it came with:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not get it going again, I would next put the device into Recovery Mode, and then restore it just 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

My phone got stuck while trying to update! help please.

Have you tried any troubleshooting?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory
