Hi there, why doesn't my iPad change orientation when I write an email?

Hi
I have a problem with my iPad 2. It doesn't change orientation when I go into Mail and start writing. I haven't touched the 'lock orientation' button.
Can anybody explain how to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Cee Cee

- First make sure that you don't see the lock icon on the top right corner (it may have been activated by default).
- If other apps keep rotating but just the Mail one doesn't, then you probably need to force quit the Mail app.
Two ways to do that:
- in Mail, press the Sleep/Wake button for 10-15 sec until the shutdown screen appears, then press the home button until the app quits.
- on the homescreen, double press the home button to see the opened apps, the press on the mail app until you see them bouncing with a red circle on the top left of the icon, and press on that sign for the mail app, then press the home button again to go back to normal.
Then, launch mail again and check if it works.

  • Why doesn't the iPad have a guest screen like the PC for extra security?

    I just want to start off first by saying I just purchased my iPad about six months ago and I'm really enjoying it,but if you're like me,I believe in protecting my privacy.
    I don't like to turn down any of friends or coworkers when I'm asked to use my iPad,but when you have such things as your personal pictures,movies,music,business documents,etc...you'd like to keep them from prying eyes. I thought that with the new iOS 7 update,that issue would've been fixed, but I was wrong. I'm hoping Apple would correct this problem with the next iOS update,it would make a lot of loyal Apple consumers & anyone who's new to purchasing the iPad for the first time very happy to know that feature is available.

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7?  When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1   Your software is up to date."

    Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7?  When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1   Your software is up to date."

    Because you have a 1st generation iPad and iOS 5.1.1 is the last update for it.
    It will not get any further iOS updates beyond 5.1.1
    iOS 7 requires at least an iPad 2

  • Why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor -- it is huge and unusable

    why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor? -- it is huge and unusable

    Many mysteries...
    Which is your OS version ?
    Your screen is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
    The problem appeared after having worked normally.
    When we select a picture from the organizer (album) and click on the edit button.  The editor software changes the entire computer resolution from 1920 x 1080 to   640 x 480 (very unusable).
    That's not clear for me: did you click on the 'Edit' button on the bottom right part of the organizer, or did you use the menu or the right click popup menu to open the editor? In the second case, you are in the editor workspace.
    We tried right clicking on the Elements 13 icon, select properties and under compatibility we made sure that "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution" was de-selected, and it was.    Cannot find any properties window for the editor?  
    The editor has its properties in the 'Edit/preferences' menu, but there is nothing about resolution there.
    Just to be sure : when you are in the organizer with the left 'Folders' panel shown, you highlight one of those pictures to edit. Then you right click and choose to "go to folder". Do the images are shown as 'offline' ? If that is the case, the original are on an external drive which is not connected, and what you are seeing is a 'preview' copy on your computer with 640 x 480 resolution.

  • Why doesn't my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

    Why doesn’t my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

    Yes, otherwise some people might have to walk up to the third floor and turn on iMac,
    and then go back down to living room in order to stream form iTunes. My iMac is close,
    but not in same room. There must be something I don't have set up right.
