Ipad mini orientation

My Ipad mini seems to be locked in one position. I have checked Control Center and it says it is unlocked. I know that the switch on the side can be for the rotation lock or Mute. It is set on Mute so I use the Control Panel.
It was working fine and then stopped and I cannot get it to rotate any more. Any suggestions?
TIA

You're welcome. Be sure to remember the reset, it's almost always the first step in trouble shooting. About the only time it's not step 1 is when a app freezes. Then step 1 is double click the home button and upswipe the app preview to force close the app.

Thanks for the information as this helped immensely. I was having the same problem having recently purchased the iPad and using Windows Vista. Made a series of edits in "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" to correct the view on my PC by rotating and then loaded into the iPad and they were showing incorrectly. Found a quick solution was to do all the rotations whilst in file manager (i.e. viewing the icons) and not picture editor. Seems this enables them to display correctly on the PC and also go into the iPad correctly. If you actually rotate the pictures whilst editing it doesn't work.

IPad Mini retina screen orientation problem still not solved?!

I have also been having the screen orientation problem on my iPad Mini retina. I cannot find out what the problem is or how to solve it. The switch does not help it and neither does changing the settings. Nor does rebooting. Also, the volume on the retina is definitely lower than the ordinal iPad Mini. If I had known this I would've kept the original. I am on IOS 7.1.2.

If you have Reset it, Restored it from Backup and Restored it as new and none of these helped then you will need to get it serviced.

IPad mini keyboard orientation stuck portrait

i have an iPad mini retina on the latest IOS update. No matter what I seem to do the keyboard always sticks in portrait when I'm in landscape. This seems to only happen to the spotlight keyboard and not in apps like chrome.
Ive restarted, changed setting from forums and no matter what it goes back to it in matter of minutes. Really driving me nuts. Any ideas?

Mine iPad Air has just started doing the same. It's only on the "desktop" when searching for apps. In apps the keyboard does rotate
TRied the suggestions in here exept factory reset. Nothing works.
I think it started after I paired a bluetooth Apple keyboard with the iPad.

My iPad mini cannot rotate!!! but already unlock orientation

my ipad mini cannot rotate but i already try:
-reset my ipad mini
-restore

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

What is the white horizontal line and red vertical line on my brand new ipad mini?

Bought a brand new ipad mini 2 for my sons Christmas, took it out the box and it was during the set up process, ie entering his iTunes and icloud account, a white horizontal line and a red vertical line appeared on the screen and is there all the time now. Have tried switching off and on and resetting, but it is still there. Any ideas??

Hi Tolmivooz,
So the lines didn't appear until you were into the setup?
Does the orientation of the lines change when you rotate the screen?
Thanks for trying the restart and reset. Please see if a restore helps.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Best,

Can anyone help with printer options on iPad mini, can I change layout paper size?

I am trying to change the printer options on my iPad mini so that I can print on legal size paper, I also would like to change to portrait layout. Is this an option when printing from an iPad Mini?

Chad-
I think the same problem exists with all the iOS devices. I suggest you look for a free App from the manufacturer of your printer. It will have limitations, but may include the ability to change paper size and image size and orientation.
There are other printing Apps such as Print n Share that can do that, but they are not free.
The problem you may face, is that such printing Apps can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option. If you can use their built-in programs, they may meet your needs.

See the following for info on the Side Switch settings that can either control Orientation Lock (screen rotation) or Audio Mute.

My ipad mini is displaying a pad lock with a circled arrow around it and the screen is white. what does this mean?

my iPad mini is displaying a padlock with a circled arrow around it. what does this mean?

The padlock with the circled arrow around it means the orientation lock is on & the screen will not change from portrait or landscape mode when you rotate your device.

My iPad mini screen won't rotate

Why my ipad min screen won't rotate.

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, swipe up from the bottom to get to the control center. Look for the lock icon in the row of icons at the top. It will be the last one on the right. Check that to see if the screen is locked.
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

IPad Mini Side-Switch Lock Always-Active Bug

Hi,
I have an iPad mini that behaved perfectly until around the time I upgraded to 7.0.6, when it starting making me choose between Mute or Landscape mode.
If my iPad side switch is set to control the Mute option in settings, when I try to play audio the iPad is always silent. If I use the volume rocker the indicator shows the volume changeable from minimum to maximum, but no sound occurs when playing audio of any kind.
I can swap the side switch lock between active and disabled, and the mute indicator comes and goes, but still no audio in either side switch state.
If I set the side switch in Settings to control the Lock Rotation instead and restart the iPad, I don't have any problems with audio, but my iPad mini becomes locked in landscape mode.
If I swap the side switch lock between active and disabled, the locked and unlocked orientation icons appear, but the screen stays locked in landscape.
I don't want to reset the iPad as I have apps on there that are since discontinued, so are there any other options/fixes available? Or Is anyone else experiencing this bug?

I didn't say a restore, which reloads a fresh copy of iOS. I said a reset which does not remove any data or apps. It's equivalent to power cycling your iPad - a reboot.
That said, you should always download copies of your apps to a computer and keep them for just the situation you described.

IPad mini touchscreen issues

Hey guys I have the original iPad mini which I purchased in the month of May last year. So far it was good but now I have some problems with the touch screen in the bottom left corner of the ipad when it is in portrait orientation. The sensitivity is really poor and sometimes I am not able to select the keys at all. I would like to know why this happened all of a sudden and I don't know what to do about this.

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
Note: Data will not be affected.

IPad mini mail app display rotation

My iPad mini mail app rotation is locked. No other app or display is affected. How do I unlock? How did it get locked?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I'm pretty familiar with how my ipad works. There appears to be a legit bug with the software, at least for some users. When I load mail, sometimes it's stuck in one orientation, even if the rest of the ipad apps are able to rotate freely. I don't always notice it because sometimes the ipad is oriented in the same direction as mail, but other times it's not and when you start the mail app, the screen loads upside down. Switch to another app, back to right side up and so on. You have to either turn the ipad over, or kill the mail app by double tapping the home button and ending the program from the list of running apps.
After you do that, the mail app starts to rotate again normally when changing the orientation of the device. No reset is required, by the way, as is posted above - at least on mine. Killing the app alone is enough to 'fix' the problem.
I've seen a number of posts where someone posts the 'fix' as a solution to this issue, but I don't consider it a reasonable resolution. Even if killing the mail app works, the problem just comes back a week or two later, very randomly. So then you end up having to do the 'fix' over and over again whenever the mail app flakes out.
So, I'm wondering when Apple is going to actually fix this issue.
