How do I unlock the screen rotation.

My ipad2 no longer auto rotates when I turn it sideways. How do I unlock that feature? Thanks

If you've got a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can unlock/lock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If you havn't got the lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Hi patty,
    Slide up from the bottom of the Home screen to display the Control Panel. On the far right is the screen rotation lock icon. Click on that. It will display that the touch either locked or unlocked it.

  • How do I UNLOCK the screen rotation? It's stuck in horizontal and I don't know what I did!

    How do I UNLOCK the screen rotation? I'm stuck in horizontal and don't know how it happened!

    In settings check to see if you have Screen Orientation checked or System Sounds checked.  If you have Screen Orientation checked, there is a button above the volume control on the right side of your iPad (screen facing you).  Click it the other way and your screen will again rotate.
    If you have system sounds checked in settings, then on your home page, double tap the home button.  The bottom row will be your most recently used Apps.  Swipe them to the right until the very last icon and it will be a screen orientation icon, which you'll tap and that will allow your iPad to change orientation.

    how can I unlock the screen after a shock lighter?

    What is a shock lighter? I don't understand what you are asking? If you are saying the the slide to unlock isn't working, try rebooting your iPad.
    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

  • IPhone was dropped in the water and the screen is black. I want to back it up and I can connect it to itunes. How do I unlock the screen to back it up?

    My wife dropped her iPhone in the sink. I can plug it in and see the phone via itunes, I cannot get it to back up because the screen lock is on and the screen on the phone is blank. Is there any way to back up the phone at this point? I wan to be able to restore her contacts and I had the phone configured to back up to my MAC.

    Unfortunately the answer is no, you cannot back up the iPhone if iTunes is prompting you to unlock with the passcode. Unless you could pretend the screen is on and slide to unlock then enter passcode like you would and estimate where all th buttins would be then I'm sorry you wont be able to back it up to iTunes.
