I can't get the screen to rotate when I turn it

When I turn my ipad2 the screen stays as the vertical display. It never changes. What can I do?

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.

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.

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.

Can I get the screen on the iPhone 4S fixed if it was dropped and cracked? How much does it cost?

Apple do not repair ,an OoW echange unit in US is $199 for an iP4S
if you take it to an unauthorised repairer they do not have Apple spares and Apple will subsequently refuse any service or support on that device

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.

How can I stop the screen from rotating on my iPod touch?

My son is blind and has an ipod5 using the voice over feature. Everytime he moves it says landscape bc of the screen rotating. How can I stop the screen from rotating on him?

To lock the screen in portrait orientation, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to open
Control Center, then tap the icon with an arrowed circle with a padlock inside

HT1600 I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing? I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.

I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
When I give the same password, it is rejected.
Help!!!!

Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you are logged into your store account properly (settings > store). Also check there are no restrictions set that might be causing this (settings > general > restrictions)

I don't think you can. If you need that effect, you should use ePub (that can be authored via Pages) not iBA.
I hope Apple give us the option in the future though.

When you add a WiFi you can't get into any websites??? But if you turn WiFi off you can access websites?
You can access websites without WiFi? Do you have a 3G/4G iPad?

I just received a nano for Christmas. I bought an iwatch wristband but I can't get the face to rotate. Should this happen on its own or do I need to set it manually?

How do I get the screen to refresh when drawing a line larger than the art board

How do I get the screen to refresh properly when drawing a line larger than the art board when the screen scrolls? Everything turns white in CS6, CS5 and CS4.

Existing art - not the new art. The new art just gets a proxy shape - seen in my example as the blue rectangle. The existing art is what gets smeared as you drag past the edge of the screen. If it's anything other than an Ilustrator thing, it's a Mac thing. I've never known it to be any other way other than maybe in the past showing blank white instead of stuttered art on probably 10 different macs over the years.
Take any art that you've ever created. Zoom in so that your art is bigger than your screen (so that there's somewhere to scroll). Rectangle tool (or move, scale, rotate(?) something, or draw a line) Start your rectangle anywhere, drag so that you are at the edge of the screen, causing it to scroll. The existing art will get all effed up. The rectangle you're drawing will draw as you expect it to - that's not the issue.

I can't get the volume to work when I use firefox. It does work on internet explorer. What is going on?

I downloaded firefox in order to do some online training that I couldn't open in any other browser. I can't get the volume to work in this browser. I can use internet explorer and the volume works. But I can only do the training through firefox.

You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />
