HT5012 What causes an IPAD 2 to orient to portrait instead of landscape inside apps?

What causes an IPAD 2 to not change to landscape orientation in apps?  Is it broken or is there a setting not set correctly?

As said before, some apps must be run in a specific orientation, however, there is a setting to lock it in one or the other orientation. Getting to this setting can be achieved by several different ways depending on system model. The new IOS 7 has a menu that can be dragged upward from the bottom of the screen. The icon with the lock is your target.

  • HT1689 What causes my iPad 3 to get so hot, thanks

    What Causes the ipad3 to get so hot? Thanks jw

    It has a larger battery and processor to handle the Retina display. 'Warm' is normal, 'Too hot to touch' is not. If it's literally burning hot, stop using it and take it into your local Apple store. If it's a handlable heat, it's just the fact that you have a processor a fraction of an inch and a sheet of aluminum from your skin. The iPad dissipates heat through that aluminum skin, which is why it gets warm.

  • What causes a iPad 2 to operate slowly

    My iPad is operating very very slow, any ideas on how to fix this issue?

    The following really fasted my Ipad
    The first thing to look at is how many apps you might be running.  This can slow down an iPad after awhile.  Here’s how to clean up your running apps.
    Double-click the Home button
    Do you see all the apps that appear on the bottom of the screen?
    Tap and hold down on one of those apps until it shakes
    Now tap the red minus sign on the apps and they will be removed from memory
    Note: Doing this does not remove the app from your iPad. It merely removes it from running as a background process (in other words, taking up resources).
    please check How to tune up a slow iPad

    My iPad has started to crash about 5 to 6 times in an evening.  What can I do to fix this problem?

    What do you mean by "crash"? Are you losing wifi connection, or does it freeze, or?
    Need more info to answer.

  • IPad mini keyboard orientation stuck portrait

    i have an iPad mini retina on the latest IOS update.  No matter what I seem to do the keyboard always sticks in portrait when I'm in landscape.  This seems to only happen to the spotlight keyboard and not in apps like chrome.
    Ive restarted, changed setting from forums and no matter what it goes back to it in matter of minutes.  Really driving me nuts.  Any ideas?

    Mine iPad Air has just started doing the same. It's only on the "desktop" when searching for apps. In apps the keyboard does rotate
    TRied the suggestions in here exept factory reset. Nothing works.
    I think it started after I paired a bluetooth Apple keyboard with the iPad.

  • I get an error message " cannot connect to iTunes " on my iPad, what causes that?

    I get an error message on my iPad "Cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to connect for updates.  Any idea what is causing that?

    No idea what causes it, but it does happen. Try this.....
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
    Or this ....
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • What causes my screen on ipad to turn red?

    What would cause my ipad screen to turn red?

    The first thing I would do to try to end this behavior is reset the iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Hopefully that will end the redness.
    If not, the next step would be a restore.  Plug your iPad into iTunes, let it sync, then press the "Restore" button on the right of the iTunes display.

  • HT3228 I have one of the origin iPads. Suddenly when I receive an email only the headings are shown - the body of the text is blank. Also previously received emails have also had the text body removed. Any suggestions as to what caused this?

    I have one of the original iPads. Suddenly (from yesterday) when I receive an email only the headings are shown - the body of the text is blank. Also previously received emails have also had the text body removed. Any suggestions as to what caused this?

    Try this.
    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.

  • IPad stopped changing orientation.  Audio/orientation switch is correct.  What did I change?

    I am learning to use my new iPad.  While checking it out, I must have done something to make it stop orienting between portrait and landscape.  I know I moved the switch in setup/general/audio but I moved it back.  When I move the actual switch on the side of the pad, it indicates sound is on or muted.  The orientation will not move in any area I use the iPad.  What did I do to make this change and how do I fix it?

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock 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 there isn't a 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.

  • HT1296 What is causing my iPad 3 not to be charging via USB, even if I connect it to a USB 3.0 port?

    What is causing my iPad 3 not to be charging via USB, even if I connect it to a USB 3.0 port?

    iPad Charging
    "The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter.
    iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
    When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."
