HT5457 I can't get my screen to change again from vertical to landscape

Can you walk me thru getting my ipad2 to change from vertical to landscape

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can either lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch (if that is what you've chosen in Settings), 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.

  • My screen is going black and the phone acts as though it is on and everything is working but I can't get the screen to change from being black... Any thoughts?

    I have had my Droid 2 for about a year and a half now. I had no problems with it until a few months ago when that update came out.  All the sudden the phone would freeze up then all of a sudden yesterday I was texting a friend and had the keyboard open then the screen went completely black.  I tried rebooting the phone...pulling the battery... and then doing a hard reset...  Nothing works. I cant even really do a hard reset because the screen is black.  Any thoughts?

  • How can I get the screen to lock on my iPhone 4, so I don't press buttons while talking?

    I just upgraded to the iPhone 4.  When I am talking on the phone, the screen doesn't lock, so I am constantly pressing buttons or hanging up on the person I'm talking to.  How can I get the screen to lock while I'm talking?  It's driving me NUTS.

    The otterbox is one of the culprits. Take the phone out of the case and see if it still happens. If so it is not the case. If the problem goes away, then you may need to make the hole slightly larger. My family has three iPhone 4's in otterboxes and none have this problem. Other users on this forum have reported success with the above methods.

    Try # 2 and 3 in link below. If neither work, your screen digitizer might need to be replaced.

    What exactly are you seeing on the phone's screen ? If the iTunes icon and cable then the phone is in recovery mode, in which case it's too late to take a new backup or to copy any content off the phone - you will have to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and reset it back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to the last backup that you took or just resync your content to it

  • My external monitor works but I can't get my screen to work on my power book anymore

    Can not get my screen on power book G4 to work but my external monitor works fine. Did I press something and turn it off?

    The both screens always worked fine but now the power book doesn't show anything on the screen.  I didn't drop it or even move it.  Where is the brightness button?  Could I have hit it by mistake?
    Thanks so much for your help.
    F2 is the up-brightness button, F1 is the down-brightness button, usually, on PowerBooks.  If for some reason the F1 button got held down for a couple of seconds, the display would go completely dark.
    That being said, if the backlight does not come up (easily determined by seeing if the Apple outline on the cover is lit up) then the most likely suspect would be the inverter board, or the connection to the inverter board.  If this is a Titanium PG G4, the inverter board is easy and relatively inexpensive to replace.  For the Aluminum models, I don't know if that is quite so true.

  • Can't get any screen display (nano 7th gen)

    can't get any screen display (7th gen nano) -- yesterday had low battery and it may have been "a little sweaty" wet, charger all night -- still can't get it to "turn on"

    Hello garlaham,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod nano's was not powering on.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo should appear after a few seconds, then the Home screen should appear.
    If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    I got this information from the following article for the 6th generation iPod nano.  The steps are the same, except I updated the second step with the reset for the 7th generation iPod nano:

  • I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?

    I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?
    This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

    This is a followup to my own posting above.
    Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted.  I deleted the app from iTunes.  Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes.  I said yes and then synched.
    Readdledocs is now working again.  It is no longer frozen.  However, I have learned my lesson.  I will download only pdf's from now on.  I don't think it works so well with epub files.  The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

  • Hello - can anyone tell me why my iPad (4th Gen) screen will no longer rotate. I don't have a screen lock symbol next to the battery icon. I have the rotate icon on my desktop but still can't get the screen to rotate.

    Hello - can anyone tell me why my iPad (4th Gen) screen will no longer rotate. I don't have a screen lock symbol next to the battery icon. I have the rotate icon on my desktop but still can't get the screen to rotate.

    Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right. Check the Rotation Lock on the far left of Task Bar.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a 64 GB 4G and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

  • HT4528 Can I get a screen replacement for free if i'm still under warranty?

    Can I get a screen replacement for free if i'm still under warranty?

    Not if it was caused by accidental damage. You can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and see if they do screen replacement. If they do it is $149, if they can't it is $229 for an out-of-warranty replacement. If you bought AppleCare + it is a $49 deductible.

  • Dropped my iphone 5. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

    Dropped my iphone 5. This is the replacement phone Apple gave me a month ago - the camera didn't work properly so they gave me this one. They told me it has a 90 day guarantee. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

    That is not a 90 day guaranrtee. It is a 90 warranty which only covers workmenship and materials not damage. So no. You are going to have to pay to get it replaced.
