IPad 4th gen won't rotate

I cannot get my ipad screen to rotate at all when turning it on any apps. safari or anything for that matter. I have tried the following;
- hard reset
- soft reset
- deleting apps on the quick menu
- changing switch on side to lock screen and flicked on and off
- double tapped home button and flicked across to check if locked there
- the basic one, turned it off
This is a brand new iPad bought from pc world and I can't seem to get this to work, I updated straight onto iOS 6.1 when I opened it so I don't know if it was working before update or not.
I'm stumped please help.

1. Settings>General>Set Side Swith To: Rotation Lock
2. Use Side Switch to control rotation
3. Use Task Bar to control muting (double-click Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right; Rotation Lock is on the far left)

IPad 4th gen won't charge?

I have recently got an iPad 4th gen (3 with lightning charger).
Last night I was on youtube watching videos, when suddenly the screen went black.
I plugged it into the wall, pressed the on switch.. it turned on and it was 1%.
So I let it charge overnight (12:45am - 11:30am)
I go down to see it and its STILL on 1%
I use the plug (12WATT) that was provided in the box, and also the cable provided
both seem to be working fine as it says my iPad is charging due to the lightning symbol in the corner next to the percentage..
but my iPad will not budge past 1%
I have tried the power button and home button reset... twice and it hasn't worked either time.
Does anyone have any ideas why?
And what should I do, because I really need to use it..?
Update : I plugged it into my laptop and it now says 'Not Charging' in the top right hand corner?

Hi Moll.x,
If you are having difficulties charging your iPad, you may want to follow the directions listed in this article -
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Note that the article title says iPhone & iPod touch but the same steps are relevant to the iPad -
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

IPad (4th gen) won't save photos from any source

This is a NEW iPad using iOS 6.1.2. I restored it from a backup of my previous iPad that was replaced under warranty last week. Here's what I've tried so far...
Reset (3X)
Privacy settings for Photos set to allow Facebook access
Taking pics and video with the iPad
It won't even save the photos I take with the iPad.
Suggestions appreciated.

I'm not sure this is related, but it sounds like it's worth checking to me:
You say you have set your privacy settings to allow Facebook access.
Are you signed on to Facebook (at Settings > Facebook)?
I would think you should be (but don't know this first hand).
Maybe toggling your Facebook login status would help. (If you're logged out, then log in. If you're logged in, then log out.)

My new iPad 4th gen won't come on. Any suggestions?

I've had my iPad since Christmas, and haven't experienced any problems (although I have seen a couple of flickers with power or transitioning that I assumed could be typical) but this morning it just wouldn't come one. It was on the charger, so it should have a 100% charge. No storms in my area, all other electronics (including iPhone using same eletrical outlet).
I've tried turning it off/on, and get no response. I've tried plugging it into multiple ports in my computer (which work with my iPhone) and get no response.
Suggestions?

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.

My iPad Retina 4th Gen. won't charge Help!! :(

Please refer to the details below:
Device: iPad (4th Gen) WIFI + Cellular 32GB (No External Damages)
Accessories: "Brand New" Genuine Apple Lightning Cable 1M and 12W Adapter (Bundled w/ the iPad)
iOS Version: 7.1.1 (Latest)
Scenario:
My old cable broke so I decided to buy a new one, but then when I tried to charge my iPad using my newly bought cable and my 12w adapter, my iPad won't charge! I've tried the cable on both orientations since lightning cables are reversible yet to no avail still my device won't charge. At first, maybe it is my 12w adapter that is broken so I tried another good known 12w adapter but still my iPad won't charge. Running out of options, I called a friend who has a newly bought iPad 4th Gen and tried out my accessories, her iPad is CHARGING!! actually it fully charged her iPad! So my accessories are really working fine! Tried my cable and 12w adapter to different lightning devices and all devices where charging and syncing. I've aslo tried to plug the ipad to my computer using my newly bought cable and surprisingly it is charging and detected by itunes. But I know it really takes time charging on the computer and I'm really confused why my iPad will charge on a computer but NOT when using my adapter plugged on a wall socket which practically is weird since it is confirmed that my accessories are working. I've tried other brand new lightning cables still it won't charge on the wall using the adapter.
Isolations Made:
12w adapter = Confirmed Working
Lightning Cable = Confirmed Working
iPad (4th Gen) = Already done "Cleaning the ports" ,"Restart" , "Reset" and "Complete Restore including DFU Restore"
Buttom Line: iPad will charge on the computer but NOT on the wall socket using the 12w adapter and same cable

- Did you everset up yur iPod on the "new" computer? To do thatyou need to either mrestore the iPod from a backup on the computer or restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
- Is the computerauthorized for the iitem in the iTunes library?
- Is the iPod signed into that account?

How to use iPad (4th gen) to edit with iMovie - but using an external source such as a USB stick or external USB hard drive

Want to use my iPad (4th gen) to edit a movie using iMovie - easy enough if the movie file is on the iPad - but what if it's too large - can I keep the source file on a USB stick or external USB hard drive and edit from there? How can you do this?

You can't export any type of file using the camera connection kit, so a USB flash drive or SD card won't work.
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:
Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Last, backup to iTunes and restore from backup, yes again

How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?

How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)? It reflects my old email address and therefore won't recognize my password. When I try to do something on the App Store on my iPad, it brings up a notice to sign on, which reflects the old email address, and rejects my password since the username/email address is no longer correct. Puzzled!

I have another question for the community. My daughter tells me that my texts to her show my primary email address as the account name of the sender (me) when I text her, rather than my cell phone number from which I'm texting her. I've had others report that to me too. How do I turn that off so that recipients see my cell phone number displayed as the sending party and not my email address? Thanks -

Can iPhone 4S and iPad 4th gen exchange files through Bluetooth

I m trying to connect my iPhone 4S with my iPad 4th Gen through Bluetooth , but they won't detect each other. Read a comment by someone in the apple forums that Bluetooth in iPhone and iPad are only for connecting with accessories. Is this true or is there a way to connect the two devices and exchange files

There are a few third-party apps, in the app store, that permit photo sharing by bluettoth & game playing, but that's about it. File transfer, by bluetooth, has never been supported on any iOS device. There are apps that permit such using WiFi though.

Ipad 4th gen headphone jack not working properly

Any ideas on this ?
Every time I put put my headphone jack in all I could hear is hiss sounds and when I try to maximize the volume I could hear the music but its too loud for me .
If I try to move my ipad 4th gen in stand it goes back normal , if I put it down or any other position I want to try it starts to give weird sounds again . ( plugged headphones )
It's my first time buying a tablet so I have little information about tablets and how to solve this .
Is it hardware or software issues or dust , it's been a week and half since I bought the ipad .
I'm quite satisfied with the buy but if it won't work well I guess I'm gonna be having a :( face .

Thanks so much for this post!
I got a lot of fluff out of my 1st gen ipod Touch's headphone jack. The audio would be fine if I used my Apple headphones (but they have completely fallen apart, 3rd replacement set from Apple) but with third party headphones I had the same problem as you described.

No wifi connection on new iPad 4th gen

Help please ive just bought the ipad 4th gen and it wont connect to any wifi networks, im unable to complete the setup because of this. Ive tried different networks and still nothing.I have also tried reseting it but nothing same thing keeps happening, is this common with the new ipads because i have the first one and have never had any trouble connecting to wifi

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Ipad 4th Gen not working at all

Hi
I have an iPad 4th Generation WI-FI and I got it less than 2 years ago and now it doesn't work at all. I will explain a bit more about what happened to it in more detail below. So I was taking photos with it and after I was done I turned it off or as Apple call it "sleep", well I pressed the power button in other words like everyone does, right? Then in the evening I went to go on it and it was blank and wouldn't respond but in the morning it had about 30% battery but anyway it put it on charge using the Apple adaptor and I let it charge for like 30min but when it was charging it kept on showing the Apple logo every 20 seconds but wouldn't go past it. So when I took it off charge I tried holding the Power and Home buttons at the same time for about 20 sec and after about 3 to 4 tries it showed the restore iPad sign with the Lightning cable and the iTunes logo on top of it, so I plugged it into my computer and iTunes poped up and said something like:
iPad 4th Gen detected the device needs to be restored. (By the way my laptop is Win7 and had the latest iTunes on it) So I clicked the restore button and it said EXTRACTING SOFTWARE and after that the line stopped moving and a window came up saying: Unkown Error 4005 and 4013 and it took me to the Apple website and I did all the steps they told me to do and it didn't work and kept on saying the error thing. So I took it to an Apple store and the guy there said he waz restoring it and downloading new software for it and it ended up not workin for him either, but he told me there is nothing to do cause the 1 year warranty expired. Anyway now it doesn't show anything at all not even the restore logo, the apple logo nothing it completely blank and Ive had it on charge for like 2 hours. And I haven't dropped it or anything it doesn't have any physical damage or that. So yeah what should I do? Any suggestions will be appreciated

Hi Try this Connect USB lead to pc hold down power button on iPad connect Lead To iPad still hold button down Wait to see if pc sees iPad keep button down for upto 1 Minute. If that doesn't work make An Appointment at Apple Store. Cheers Brian
