IPad air 2 is locked in portrait orientation, cannot unlock

BBrad new iPad air2 is locked in portrait orientation, it will not unlock therefore I cannot change to landscape orientation

If there isn't a lock icon next to the battery level indicator at the top right of the iPad's screen then try a soft-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.
If there is a lock icon then you lock/unlock rotation via its icon in Control Centre : swipe/drag up from the bottom edge of the iPad's screen, if the lock icon is white then rotation lock is 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'

IPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server?

using iPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server? (Friends iPad otherwise couldn't post!)

Many thanks for contacting me Carolyn. However the wifi was working fine and I found the solution from this posting:

So resetting the iPad by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons together to reset it did the job.

Okay, if a reset does not solve the issue, then the next user troubleshooting step is a restore from backup. If that does not work, then restore as new. If neither of these will solve the issue, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the hardware checked.

Hi RWD2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:

Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords

My iPad Air doesn't lock with a Smart Cover

I have an iPad Air first generation with iOS 8.2 on it. I purchased an official Apple Smart Cover and the smart lock/unlock does not work. I have the lock/ unlock setting enabled in settings>general. I have also tried an aftermarket smart case and it doesn't work either. The screen doesn't lock and I don't hear an audible lock sound. I have tried restoring my iPad. I took my iPad to the Apple Store and they told me the iPad was out of warranty and offered to sell me a refurbished iPad of the same model for $299. I was disappointed this was the only option they gave me. What else can I try?

Ipad air 2 region locked

Hello,
This month, my mother will be going on a business trip to Bangkok. And said that if I want to get something, I could. So I was looking for a tablet for my degree course(educational) purposes. My question is, will the app store be region locked if get an ipad from a different country and use it in my country(I reside in India).
The one I am planning to get is the ipad air 2 128GB Wifi Only.
Talking on point, if I buy the aforementioned iPad in Bangkok and then bring it here in India, will I face any issues regarding the app store, the itunes store and also any problem with the upgrades for the iOS as I will be connecting to the internet via Wi-Fi only.
Thank You.
PS: The reason I am getting it from Bangkok is because my mother will be getting a bonus while she is there, so the expenses will be covered technically.

It's not region locked, the country for the stores (iTunes, App Store, iBookstore) will be picked up from the country on your iTunes account, not where it was bought. If you will be using it in India the stores will pick up the Indian store from your Indian billing address on your account.
You won't have problems updating the iOS, that is also not dependent upon where the iPad was bought and subsequently used. All you may need is to be a plug adapter to be able to charge it from the mains.
An iPad doesn't have international warranty, so if you have problems with it you may have to return it to the country of purchase - with a wifi-only iPad you may be ok, but you may not be covered for it in India

Over the past week the Mac mail app on my iPad 2 has become locked in vertical orientation and only in the orientation such that the bottom is orientated toward the menu button. Any advice? This is the only app that seems to have been affected.

For the past week or two, my Mac Mail app for my iPad 2 has been stuck in vertical orientation. This is the only app that is similarly affected. Moreover, it will only orient itself such that the bottom is toward the menu button on the iPad. Please advise if you have a solution.

Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if it rotates when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do 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.

My iPad Air stalled during an update and I cannot restart my device even after pressing the on/off button for 15 seconds. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot.

Help, IPAD Air 2 apps locked than screen went blank.

Was unable to access any of the apps on my IPAD 2 after using for a few minutes this afternoon. Tried turning it off to see if that would fix the problem but now the screen is blank. I've tried holding down the sleep/on button for a minute. Screen came back for 2 seconds and than went blank. Tried charging and hitting home and the sleep/on button with no success. Any suggestions on how I might fix this? Product is barely 2 months old and has been very gently used.

My iPhone 4S won't change orientation from portrait to landscape even though its portrait orientation is unlocked? I got it two days ago and it has always been this way? Do I need to get a new one or can I fix it?

So it is new (two days old I got it on the 20th of June) and the orientation of the screen will not change from portrait. I have looked at the lock in the multitasking bar and unlocked it and still nothing changes. YouTube, photos, texts, nothing works. Siri has also been blacking out while I use her so do I need a replacement for this defective phone? I got it from RadioShack Thursday. On a totally unrelated note does using your phone while charging it damage the battery? Anyway thanks

Try this
Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
Using the phone while charging doesn't create a problem.. I do it all the time

My email account that I registered for my iTunes account has been locked by Microsoft and cannot unlock. What now?

When registering for a new iTunes account you have to fill in an existing email account.
The problem is that my account has been suspended by Microsoft and I have no way to recover it,
which mean if I want to do something with my account, I cannot.
What should I do?
