Ipad screen not automatically tune.

Hi,
Not sure if anyone is having the same problem as me.... My ipad screen is not automatically tune to portrait or landscape position whichever way i am holding. Sometimes, it works, sometimes it doesn't. For sure the orientation unlocked button is turned on, so it should rotate automatically.
If anyone has a solution for this, please share. Thanks!
Cheryl

You said that you checked the side switch but did you check the task bar? Double tap the home button and swipe to the right. Look to the left side and see if there is a lock icon in there. Tap it to unlock if it is locked.
If you have checked the switch and the task bar and youre sure that the settings are correct, restart or reset the iPad and see if the screen will rotate.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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 buttons.

    How do I get my TV to display what's on my computer screen (Not I-tunes)?

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

    My iPad does not automatically update the operating system.how can I accomplish this?

    Your post says you are on iOS 4.3.2.  You need to be at least at iOS 5 to have a "Software Update" capability on your iPad.  Right now, you need to update your iPad using iTunes on your computer.
    Plug your iPad into iTunes (current version: 11.0.4).  Let it sync.  Then choose "Check for Updates" from the iPad's summary page in iTunes.

  • TS1398 iPad will not automatically connect to home WiFi, I have to do it manually each time.

    My iPad will not automatically connect to my home wifi and I have to manually connect each time. Is there something I can do to correct this?

    Update the firmware in your WiFi router. Look for an update on the manufacturer's support Web page.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router.

  • Ipad will not automatically set date and time

    My ipad drained and when I recharged it the date read 31 Dec 1970.  Now it will not automatically connect and update the date and time, and cannot connect to itunes.  I can recieve emails on this device but I can's send emails.  So it must have some kind of connectivity...would appreciate any comments or help.  Very frustrated.

    Try resetting it.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • IPad screen not smooth

    Any idea , playing games on the iPad is a hassle ..when my fingers go against it it's not smooth..anyone know of a good screen protector they have used where its smooth to use the iPad screen ..the screen is without a protector ow Nd it feels liked have to put extra effort to move stuff on the screen ..iPad 4

    I would recommend to buy screen protector that is ant-glare or anti-fingerprint. It would be smoother.

  • IPad screen not as smooth

    i've been using my iPad2 for around 6 months now.  but the screen is kinda sticky. it's not sticky that much but I cannot softly slide my finger on the screen.
    i do not use any chemicals or anything as of such to clean my iPad screen other than a soft piece of cloth that came with the Macbook pro. my hand is not oily and if it ever gets, i always wash it.
    i wish my fingers slide over it as smooth as the iPhone my brother owns.

    Perhaps you do need to clean the screen with a slightly dampened lint-free cloth, rather than just wiping it with just soft cloth.
    I just use a damp soft tissue.

  • Ipad screen not working. what do i do?

    hi,
    my ipad screen just stopped working. i have a 1st generation ipad and i am afraid the apple store won't be able to replace it. do you think they will? is there anything else i can do?
    thank you,
    yellow_lamp

    Do you mean you believe the iPad is working but the display is not showing anything or that your iPad isn't actually working?
    Either way I would try a restart first, hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Power button down at the same time.  The slide to Power Off screen will appear, ignore this and wait for the apple logo to appear and see if you can get it to restart.
    Sometimes you have to hold the buttons down for what seems like a really long time even though this is supposed to do a restart by holding the buttons down for 10-15 seconds.  My wife's iPad had a problem like this and I plugged it in to the charger and held the buttons down for nearly 4 minutes to see what would happen and this cleared up the problem.

  • Help me please-ipad screen not working

    My ipad screen just randomly went black today, it has never done this before and I have had it for a year and a half now.
    When i press the sleep button as if to turn it on there is a dim back light-the background changes from black to a faint blue- but there is hardly a change.
    However here's the funny thing, the rest of the ipad is fully functionable. I can unlock the ipad I just have to guess where on the screen the slider is as I cannot see it. I can turn my ipod on and slide the pages so the problem is obviously just the screen.
    I have tried turning it off and on again and charging it and plugging it into my computer and holding down the home button and the sleep button for a long period of time to reset my ipad but nothing is working. I desperately need my ipad for work and other things so I was wondering if anyone had experienced this problem before or if anyone could give me some helpful advice it would be much appreciated.
    Please help!

    If the hard Reset has not cured it you might be best following this link and putting your iPad into Recovery mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097

  • HT1212 iPad screen not working, how do I access it via itunes

    My Ipad screen went blank but lights up.  Itunes is asking me to enter a password on the ipad but I cant see the screen.  Any way to access the ipad via itunes?

    Have you dropped it lately?
    Flip it screen side down on your lap and give it a good whack on the back.
    It sounds strange but others have had success with it.
