I can't access/find the "lock" screen orientation funtion since downloading iOS 7

Since I downloaded iOS 7, I can't access the "lock" orientation key that used to be on the control centre. I've flagged on "use side switch to: Lock Rotation", but to be honest I have no idea what this means. How do I "lock" orientation of my screen with this new operating system?

Hi Anna,
With iOS7 on an iPhone, you lock the rotation by bringing up the control center and selecting the "Lock Rotation" icon. To bring up the control center, swipe up from the bottom of your screen. You should see a translucent display with the control center options:

  • How do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen

    how do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen ?

    Only by hiding the camera via Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. That hides the camera when unlocked unless you go to Restrictions  and unset that Restriction. That is not way currently from just preventing camera access only from the lock screen

  • Why can I not adjust the volume on a video when accessed from the lock screen

    Why can I not adjust the volume of a video in my pictures folder, when accessed from the new lock screen option?

    There is no way to access videos directly from the lock screen.
    What exactly is being attempted here?

  • I want to enter ICE numbers that can be seen from the lock screen of my iPhone. Any solutions?

    ICE numbers (In Case of Emergency) help first responders make important phone calls on your behalf in the event of an emergency. Typically these are stored as ICE numbers in your contacts, however, your contacts can't be accessed from a lock screen if you have set a password to get into your phone. Any wonderful solutions? I have developed one solution that works: I entered my ICE information into "Notes", and then took a screen shot of the information. Then I mailed it to myself and saved it in my camera roll. Once I selected the "photo" of my ICE information, I saved this as my lock screen photo. Now when anyone turns on my phone, they see my ICE numbers and they do not have access to any other parts of my phone.

    Having access to contact numbers stored in a phone without knowing the passcode sort of nullifies part of the reason for the passcode protection in the first place.  However, I do support giving users more freedom, os long as they understand the possible negative consequences.

  • How can I past my wireless keyboard if I can't get last the lock screen?!

    Batteries went dead so I out freshies in...now what ! Can't type cuz the keyboard can't pair! Help please.

    It's always best to have a backup USB keyboard, go to the local office supply store and pick one up.  Just a very inexpensive model will do the trick.

    Hi jlovett1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Do you have iCloud setup on your iPhone?  If so, you just need to do an iCloud backup and restore the new phone from that backup.  Here's how:

  • Why can't I change the lock screen wallpaper on my new iPhone 3GS

    I went to Settings > Wallpaper > Wallpaper, selected a pic and tapped 'Set', but the background is still black! My phone isn't jailbroken btw.
    Thanks,

    Same problem here with a 3G. It used to work. Stopped working in 3.1, I updated 4.1, still not working. It's always black (no wallpaper available).
    Prior to iOS 4 there was no way to change the background wallpaper, it was black.
    Only the 3GS and 4 allow changing the background wallpaper. The fact that you cannot change it on a 3G is not a bug, it is simply the way it is.

  • TS1741 Can't get past the lock screen, it grey with padlock after start up and option but otherwise it's a flashing question mark,I've tried everything n key combo, will I have to buy a new Mac OS install disk

    Maybe you should post it in the Mac forum. This is iPhone forum.

  • I updated my iphone 4 but now it just flashes the apple logo? i also can't reset as the lock screen button doesn't work...

    im assuming im going to just need to go to the apple store and get it fixed?

    Was the iPhone factory unlocked?
    If so then do a search of these forums for the fixes for Sim card errors; there are a few people with ideas on how to fix it.
    If it was unlocked after you bought it, then you will not be able to update the software.
    And it will have been Jail broken, which cannot be discussed on this forum.

  • HT202912 I can't open Adobe Illustrator CS6 without installing the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. I can't get/find the right legacy Java SE 6 download website.

        I'm trying house Adobe Illustrator but I keep getting this message " To open Adobe Illustrator CS6, you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime" It also reads "Click More Info. to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website".  When I click "More Info." it just takes me to a site for some version of Java that still can't open Illustrator!!!!!!  What's going on here & how can this be fixed ASAP????  I have work to do!!!!

    I'm having the same issue. I keep getting:
    "Too many redirects occurred trying to open “https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572?locale=en_US”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page."
    Is there another link somewhere?

  • I just update my iphone 4 to IOS 5 and in the lock screen I do not see the icon to access my camera, how can I set it up?

    I cant see the camera access on the lock screen , I just updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5, anyone nows why??

    I've repeatedly had problems with my Yahoo! account on iOS 4 too, and I've had to delete it, then set it up again. It kept asking for my password, though the phone had it memorized, and when I entered it, I'd get the same error message about no password being set. Could be the Mail app has a problem with Yahoo!, because on my MacBook Pro too, the Yahoo! account sometimes gets locked out.
    Oh, and thanks for the tip about the lock screen: I've just posted a new discussion about this. Should have searched the forum first, I know...

  • Can you have more than one alert at a time show up on the lock screen?

    When i recieve a new message, this shows up as an alert on the lock screen when my phone is locked, as its supposed to. However, if a new alert comes through before i open the previous one, only the most recent one will appear on the lock screen. Is there anyway to set it so multiple messages can be displayed on the lock screen at once?

    Yes, you may have more than one "single" subscription, with the photography special counting as a single

  • I can not pass the lock screen

    I can not pass the lock screen, when I slide to unlock

    If you can't get past the lock screen when you slide to unlock, try rebooting your iPad and then try again.
    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.

  • IOS 5 Notifications in the Lock Screen Problem

    Now that I've updated, I can't seem to get anything I receive while the phone is locked (SMS, e-mail, FB posts) to show up as anything other than the old bubble alert. The Notification Center shows up fine when the phone is unlocked, but not when it's locked. I've gone through all the Notification settings I can find. Is anyone else having this issue?

    1.No Notification Centre in Lockscreen
    2.and My Messages are not coming through the normal way
    although it appears in the NC which I can only access through the Home Screen
    I found that if you double click the Home Button in Lockscreen the CAMERA button appears
    Nb. I'm using a 3GS
