Help with Display, it will not rotate/orient to landscape

I have not dropped my phone or damaged it in any way. I have tried resetting it and still nothing.
Yesterday night it was able to rotate and orient itself to landscape view just fine. Today, nothing. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this? I am clueless. Google searching does not help.

Just curious... When you tried rotating the phone, was it lying down on it's back or was it perpendicular to the floor? I noticed with my phone that the display will not rotate if I held it with it's back parallel to the floor but it works perfectly when it is perpendicular to the floor.

I've downloaded IOS 7, now my videos in iTunes will not rotate to the landscape wide view. Has anyone had this problem? Is there a fix?

I've downloaded the lastest iOS 7 update and now my videos from iTunes will not rotate to the landscape wide view. I can view other videos from the news, you-tube, movie trailers, etc in landscape wide view, but it's my music videos from iTunes that won't rotate. What's going on? Is there a fix?

Hi, you don't have screen rotation locked do you? If unsure there will be an icon like a padlock near the battery symbol on your phone.

TS2755 The screen view for Messages will not re-orient to landscape on my new iPhone5. Should it?

Just got the new iPhone5 and notice that the screen does not re-orient to landscape view when using Messages. I had thought this was happening originally but that the feature had fallen off. Is there a setting I am missing? Or is this an application that does not re-orient in this way?

This is a user-to-user support forum so you may want to submit feedback to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Also, if Verizon is charging you for Premium Visual Voice Mail (which according to their website is currently the only one that offers voice to text) you should contact them for a refund as the "Check Device Compatibility" link at their http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/products/visual-voicemail.html shows that only 16 phones are supported and the iPhone is not one of them.
If you decide to switch phones, you may also want to consider that feature from Verizon only transcribes the first 45 seconds of a voicemail.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up. the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if the settings are wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.

Double click the home button (square) and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
Good luck hope it works.

TS3274 I pad display will not rotate when I pad is in portrait or landscape position why?

Looking for direction with the rotation feature!

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

The #rdn# is a url variable that is pass to this form from
another page. I put it in a hidden filed and originallly used it as
from.rdn. That did not make a difference, so I just used rdn.
The cfoutput to display the rdn, partnumberid,
deliverynumber, totalrows, and row, all display properly. I even
use those in the query anlayzer and the update works.
I will remove the crparam and see if that makes any
difference. This is very frustrating since there are no error
messages and I am led to believe the code works.

My ipad will not rotate when in mail. Can anyone help please?

My I Pad will not rotate when I am in Mail. It is fine in safari and all the other apps. Can anyone help.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

I wonder if the disk being referred to is actually your iPod which is not plugged in. Maybe something has stuck thinking the iPod should be there.
Try completely removing all the iTunes related programs according to this method.

Restart you PC and see if startup improves.
If it doesn't improve you need to consider the possibility that there is something else going on.
If The problem goes away, hopefully a fresh install will be OK.
