IMessage won't turn to landscape

When typing in any other app my screen will turn either way, portrait or landscape. In iMessage it stays in portrait.

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • IMessage won't turn back on

    Hi! I turned my iMessage off in the settings so I could text without using my data (from my data plan). Now when I want to turn iMessage back on, an alert pops up saying I can't set up iMessage without my cellular turned on. There is an option to press OK and Settings. When I click settings, it takes me to the general screen in the settings. The problem is that my cellular was turned on, and when I have my cellular turned on it still say that I need to turn it on. Help!

    Hi MerDani,
    I apologize, I am a bit unclear on the exact nature and scope of the issues your are describing. If you and your husband are having issues sending iMessage messages (but not text/SMS) to one or more contacts on multiple iPhones, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • My Iphone5 won't switch to landscape view when I turn my phone to the side...what am I missing and how do I make this happen

    My Iphone 5 won't turn to landscape view when I turn it to the side...what am I missing and how do I make this happen...it used to happen automatically...I thought.

    I had the same problem but it wasn't because the orientation was locked .
    Mine was some kind of glitch that was resolved by holding down the home key and the button on top until the white Apple appeared on the screen .

  • Ipod touch won't go to landscape format, help?

    I use to have it locked in the locked portait position for a year and now that I have turned the lock off, it won't turn to landscape.
    Will I have to restore it? Should I restore it from backup or restore Ipod?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I turned my iMessages off and now it won't turn back on and asks for mobile data or wifi to be on but my mobile data works fine! How do I get iMessages to turn on again?

    I Turned my iMessages off and now it won't turn on again without saying that wifi or mobile data must be turned on, however my mobile data works fine. How do I get iMessages to turn on again?

    I had a similar issue with my phone.....it just shut off and wouldn't come back on even thought it was charged.  My daughter toggled the mute switch several times and then she pressed and held down the home and lock buttons.  It worked......would be worth a shot.

  • TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

    Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

  • Push notifications and iMessage won't work on iPod 4th gen refurbished after updating to last ear iOS

    My iPod has been working well for a while other than the battery draining very quickly. But just today I updated to iOS 6.1.3 and all of a sudden iMessage won't deliver the messages and my push notifications aren't showing up! I don't know what is making this happen, but this along with the battery issue is driving me crazy!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Try turning off the following to conserve battery:
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
    Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Off

  • My iMessage won't send pictures or videos to one of my contacts.

    My iMessage won't send pictures or videos to one of my contacts. Can someone please help? I've already turned my device on and off, but it still won't work. It happened after the last update.. when I send a picture or video,  it would show as sent, but then have the red exclamation icon and say message not delivered. I would try and deliver multiple times but it just won't work.

    It depends if the contact is not an apple product it will not work at all ..iMessage is only used for apple products.Just check.Well you should know if the contact is an apple user or not so yeah thats all really.But if it's it that important f.of a pic download a texting app it helps alot.

  • IPhone 4 won't switch to landscape view

    Just got this phone a couple months ago, working OK until yesterday when it won't turn to view keypad in landscape mode...only portrait.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks...

        Let's get this resolved KRetz! Once you press your menu button twice quickly you will see your recently used applications at the bottom of the screen. Drag the screen to the right and look for the the Portrait Orientation Symbol and ensure the lock icon is not preset. You can remove the lock icon by tapping the Orientation Symbol. Please follow the visuals here  http://vz.to/10KT4VI Thank you.
