IPad horizontal screen lock

Hello,
I have had my iPad for a while now, and have never had this problem. I recently restored it, and ever since on a couple of applications the horizontal screen will lock in one direction or the other. I have double checked the horizontal screen lock option... It is not checked, and I have tried checking it and then switching it to see what happens, and this does not fix the problem. Overall I am very happy with the iPad, but I also find this quite annoying.
Thanks, Platt

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

IPad 2 Screen locked

Ever since I installed iOS 6 on my iPad 2 the screen is locked in the landscape position. I have the screen lock off and have tried chnging the settings to the slide switch and reset the iPad both with no luck. Anyone elese having this problem?

Simply because I have seen many other users insist that the screen rotation was not locked - only to discover that it really was locked - make sure by .....
If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
You stated that you tried this already .... but just in case .... If 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

IPads home screen locked magnified

My iPad has been working fine for weeks and then about 20 minutes ago I opened it up to do some work and as soon as I typed in my pass code the entire screen became magnified. I am on the home screen right now and the icons are so large that only 4 of them (Youtube, Settings, Photos, and Contacts) can fit on the screen at one time. I have not installed anything today or done any activities out of the ordinary.
I have tried a power button reset and no luck. Tried a Home button + power button reset and that also failed. Any suggestions?

Or... +"If Zoom is on and you want to zoom out or in, double-tap using three fingers."+ From this Apple doc:

TS3899 My iPhone & iPad mail is locked - Press mail app, the screen starts mail, freezes and bounces back to main menu. The fault occurred whilst opening a draft email created in the 'Mail 2 Group' app. Hard reset/reset all/restore backup have no effect -

I installed the Mail 2 Group App on my iPAD, created an email which I saved to the 'Draft' folder, with something over 300 of my contacts in the bcc. On returning to this email, again in my iPad, the screen locked in mail for a few seconds and bounced bak to the main menu. This repeated on my iPhone, on which I have been carrying out my own checks - this includes deleting the Yahoo account, hard reset (red cross and two buttons), restoring a backup and Reset All in settings.
I'm stuck !!

Sending a message with that many addressees may have required more RAM than was available. You can clean up RAM as follows:
Double-press the HOME button
Kill each app by flicking its screen image up
When all apps except the Home screen are closed press HOME
Wait about 2 minutes for the shutdowns to finish
Turn the phone off (hold the SLEEP button until "slide to power off" appears, and do so)
Wait another minute
Turn the phone back on by holding the SLEEP button until an Apple logo appears
Now try to send the mail again. Note that you may have an unrelated problem if this works: Many ISPs (Yahoo included) limit the number of email recipients for a single message as a way to combat spam.

I have an iPad 2 and all of a sudden I have no sound in game apps. I have usual volume in videos and YouTube, I do get volume for games if I plug in headphones. I have switched to screen lock off and on again and I have also done a reset twice.....help :)

I have an ipad2 and all of a sudden I have stopped getting sound in my game apps. I get normal sound on YouTube and I player and downloaded DVDs. If I plug headphones in then I can get sounds for the games. I have switched the lock screen button off and on again and done a reset twice, can anyone help me with this?

Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

TS4006 I lost my iPad! I initially set up a screen lock in iCloud but now my iPad is no longer in the list.

I lost my iPad! I initially set up a screen lock in iCloud, only to find out that I would then not be able to find my device. I then removed my device from the list in iCloud. Now, after clicking on "find my iPhone", it does not appear in the list. How do I get it back in my list of devices? The fact that it was originally in the list, does it mean that I did activate "find my iPhone"?

you did activate find my iPhone but because you removed it from the devices list, you cant do anything further. You need the device to add it back to the list.

My iPad 2 screen won't "lock" or "turn off" after being left unused since ios7 update

Hi, I hope this hasn't already been covered I have had a look and on other sites but haven't come across nothing.
Since I have updated to ios7 my iPad 2 screen now doesn't lock when left unused, I can manually lock it by pushing the lock button but it won't do it by its self no more, my iPhone does so I'm assuming it's not a new thing that came with the update. It's not a huge issue, it's more annoying, my battery is forever low as it drains it when I forget to lock it myself. I have had a look through the settings and can't see how to change this, I'm not a very technical person though so I know I may have missed it somewhere or am just being very blonde,, thank you in advance for any light shed on this.

Hello there, AllThingsShiney.
You may just have to set the "auto-lock time". The following Link from the iPad User's Guide should help:
Sleep/Wake button - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9940ef67
Specifically:
Set the auto-lock time. Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

IPad screen locks itself and goes black when nudged? very frustrating

Hi, my IPad is driving me nuts! Can anyone help please?
I can be in the middle of anything ( games, apps, typing, banking, etc. etc.) and with the slightest movement or nudge - the screen locks itself and goes black??
I then have to press the home button, slide to unlock it - and it opens back up to exactly where I was.
This happens constantly, and is so frustrating!

Is there a case or screen protector that is possibly interfering with the proximity sensor (detects if the phone is near your face, allows the keypad/screen to be visible when the phone is away from your face)

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

Screen lock after updating to 8.2 (12D508) on iPad 2

Hi,
I have just updated my iPad 2 with 8.2 (12D508) and the screen is now locked in the portrait position. I have tried some work arounds e.g holding down both the on/off button and the Home button, toggling the screen lock on and off but to no avail. I have not had this problem with previous updates.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Where is screen lock on iPad Air 2?

Have the new iPad Air 2. Unlike my old iPad 2 (not air) there is no screen lock button to change from portrait to landscape.
Where do I find that feature now?

I found it. From the iPad User Guide for IOS 8.1

Recent iOS update has made my iPad 2 unusable. The screen locks up. It's very laggy and web pages do not load correctly. Is there a fix for this or are they even working on a fix.

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

How do I lock and unlock the vertical/horizontal screen positions?

Use the Side Switch or Rotation Lock in Control Center.

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.
