Ios 7 screen can't rotate

I am using iOS 7.0.2 for my ipad 4, sometimes the screen can't be rotate, the lock button was off, so sometimes it become frustrating when the screen can't rotate, this problem didn't exist in iOS 6, I believe it is a bug.

If you are sure that the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
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 button.
If that doesn't work, reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but all settings will have to be entered again.

Since upgrading to ios8.0.2 I can`nt rotate my screen when looking at photos

since upgrading my 5s iphone to ios 8.0.2 I can`nt rotate my screen useing safari & looking at photos,is there a fix or upgrade planed

MMake sure screen rotation lock isn't on by swiping up from the bottom to open control panel, then look on the top right, there is a lock with an arrow circling it, make sure it's not highlighted. If it isn't try turning your phone off then on again. If that doesnt work try a hated restart by holding done the home and power buttons at the same time until you see the apple on the screen. If that doesn't work you could try restoring your phone or make an appointment with an Apple genius at the Apple Store, your accelerometer may be broken. Hope this helps.

In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

How is it a security breach? You're free to turn off lock screen notifications for the phone app so that no one can do that.... even if they can, they can only call the number that called you... nothing else. (well, except for 900 or whatever the emergency services number is where you are, but that's required by law).

Just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up. the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if the settings are wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.

Double click the home button (square) and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
Good luck hope it works.

HT4061 I have an iphone 3gs - the new ios 6.1 (?) upgrade has inabled my phone. I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?

I have an iphone 3gs - yes, an older iphone.
This morning apple had a msg that asked if I wanted to upgrade to the new ios 6.1 (?). I said yes. Now I can't use my phone. I've tried hitting the power and other buttons. I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple? This *****! I realize (now from reading internet) that my phone/system may be uncompatible. Help!

I have a 3GS (a true classic design!) and have upgraded it to 6.1 today. The process did not go without a glitch - it took a few attempts to get the app's to sync but after detecting the ones causing an issue and deleting them it works - so far! I have had issues about 50% of the numerous times a new OS is uploaded to this phone and always take the new OS with trepidation. But at least you know there is a 3GS with 6.1 working OK.
I suggest you do a fresh restart to the phone several times - without it being connected to the computer - to see if it gets its act together and starts. I think it will. Hold down the top 'power' button and front round control button until it shuts down - goes blank and dead. Then press the top power button to re-activate - reboot - it.
If that does not work then plug into your itunes computer, navigate in iTunes to see your iPhone and hopefully you will be able to sync it or at least 'restore iPhone' from the 'summary' tab.
If you can not get onto the iphone perhaps you will still be able to sync if in iTunes by going - 'file' - 'devices' - 'sync iphone' or failing that try transfer purchases' and ultimately 'restore from back-up'.
I had technical problems with my old 3GS (suffered a failed wireless antenna) so I took it to an Apple Store and they issued me with a service-replacement/reconditioned phone for a very modest charge. So if worst come to the worst get a new phone that way!

Since the iOS 7.0.2 update, my iPad retina display is now experiencing white blurred screen, can you help me from this?

Restore the device via iTunes on the computer.

After upgrade to IOS 4 screen rotation doesn't work.

I just upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to IOS 4 and the screen doesn't rotate with any apps when I turn the iphone 90 degrees to the horizontal. Any fixes anyone knows of? Thanks

Update on my particular issue:
When I open an app that responds to screen rotation (photos, safari), hold my phone on its side and then shake up down very hard, then the screen will rotate. If I tip it back up into portrait orientation the screen still doesn't rotate. But if I shake the phone hard in that orientation, the screen will rotate.
So maybe I've got hardware issues.

I can not rotate the screen writing a sms to write it horizontaly.

I have a one touch fire Alcatel and when writing an SMS can do it only verticaly, can not rotate the screen
to write it horizontally.
I would like to know id it may be a software problem ir just cant do it.
Thanks.

Since updating my iPhone 4 my phone is really slow and the screen doesn't rotate to play games. What can I do?

Since updating to the 7.0.3 my screen won't rotate to play games and it takes seconds for my words to show up after typing them. Also facebook lags really bad. What can I do to fix this?

That would depend if you have the potrait orientation lock - on.
If you see a lock icon with an arrow around it on top of the home screen next to your battery then that means you have it enabled.
to disable swipe up from the bottom of the phone (near home button) to access the control center, hit that icon.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Problem solved - settings changed

My kids were using ipad1 and now screen won't rotate. How do I reset this feature?

I have tried to reset screen function. The screen only displays in landscape with the power button/charger plug at left of screen. The screen will not rotate when the device is turned to accomodate portrait or landscape in the other direction. Thank you.

iPad 2 User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)
Orientation lock is covered in the manual
Page 16:
Lock the screen in portrait or landscape orientation: Double-click the Home button to view the Multitasking status bar, then flick from left to right. Tap to lock the screen orientation.
You can also set the Side Switch to lock the screen orientation instead of silencing sound effects and notifications. Go to Settings > General."

Check to see if Calculator will rotate into landscape mode. Not all apps support rotation.
