Ipad stuck in vertical display

We have an original Ipad that now only displays vertically. We don't know what adjustment we did, but we would like to allow it to switch to horizontal display as well. What setting do we need to change?

You most likely have the rotation lock turned on.
What iOS version do you have?
You can check this in Settings > General > About > Version.
If you have an earlier version than 4.2 all you need to do is flip the switch on the side and it will rotate again for you.
If you have a version between 4.2 and 4.3 your side switch has been change to a silent switch and you need to double tap the Home button (to bring up the Multitasking menu), slide your finger from left to right across the icons at the bottom (so you can see the iPod controls) and press the grey rotation lock button on the right.
If you have 4.3 or later you need to check what the side switch is set to (silent/rotation lock) and either use the switch or mutitasking menu to disable your rotation lock. This option will be in Settings > General.
Hope this helps

Update 8.0. Seem like option buttons are disabled. Like a send button. Also on my Ipad it won't oreintate. It is stuck on vertical

Option buttons seem to be disable. I was trying to rate an app so I typed my rating and tried to hit send. I kept tapping on send and it wouldn't do any thing.
also on my iPad the oreintation is stuck on vertical
i think there need to be some fixing done with update 8.0

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

My Ipad screen is stuck on vertical since I downloaded iOS5. I want to use the horizontal screen for reading.

My Ipad screen is stuck on vertical since I downloaded and installed iOS5. I want to use it on horizontal for reading 2 pages at a time. I've toggled back and forth on the lock screen switch, but it still goes to vertical. Ugh. Please help!

To do so: Hold the home button and the sleep button at the same time (ignore slider) until the apple logo appears.

After update to O/S 7.1.2 my iPad2 is stuck on Vertical Orientation and will not shift to horizontal as it has in the past. How can I get the flexible orientation back??

I agree with what FoxFifth has said, but I want to add a little to the discussion and put my own twist on the explanation.
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 you are running iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center and the lock icon is in the row of icons at the top all the way to the right.
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 stuck while downloading itunes apps

i have tried to open with the buttons
start/sleep button +wake up button
pressed for 11 seconds
symbole of apple is displayed

the symbol of
iTunes

and usb connector showing from the wakeup button side

According to this support site, books are available for free re-downloads everywhere that Apple has a store - every country that they sell content in.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5085
This does not include audio books though. So your purchased books should appear in the purchase tab of the iBook Store. See if closing the app completely and rebooting the iPad makes them appear again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IPad stuck in recovery mode 'preparing software for recovery'

We had tried updatind my iPad several times which came up with error code '1645' and we updated our itunes which had no effect and resulted in us putting it into recovery mode, where it is now stuck.
I've been looking on this post http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and at start it says it resolves issues whe your iPad 'Stops responding, showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes' my iPad is in recovery mode and it gets to the point in itunes where it displays 'preparing software for recovery' we've had it showing no progress on the bar all night and nothing we have done helps. But that support page really doesn't give any solutions.
I've looked on many sites and tried multiple things such as this website http://thehowto.wikidot.com/ipad-stuck-recovery-mode which is suggested lots and has had no effect after following all the steps.
Any help will be highly appreciated

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I have just bought an ipad mini with ret.display, I wish to link up my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8 system) to iCloud. In system preferences there is no iCloud icon to select. How do I get my MacBook updated to accept iCloud.

See -> Mavericks System Requirements.
Most of us are running Mavericks with no problems - others seem to be having various problems (if you check out the Mavericks forum). But I would recommend that you have a current backup whichever way you go.

Wifi does not work correctly on iPad Mini w/ Retina display

I've found that Wifi does not work properly on the iPad mini w/ Retina display.
Some background: I own three iPads (iPad mini w/ retina display, iPad mini, and iPad 3rd gen), an iPod touch 5th gen, and a Macbook Air, and use them all frequently with my pocket Wifi router.
None of them exhibit any Wifi problems whatsoever except for my iPad mini w/ retina display.
Here are the details:
In the middle of using Wifi with my pocket Wifi router, the Wifi connection will abrubptly drop, then reconnect. After the Wifi reconnects, it is no longer able to connect to the internet (even though Wifi itself is connected).
Once the iPad mini w/ retina display's Wifi gets into this state, the following may or may not restore WiFi temporarily:
Restart the device
Reset network settings
Yet, even if connectevitiy is restored, the problem will happen again within minutes.
When the iPad mini w/ retina display gets into this state, the Wifi on my iPod touch, other iPads, and on my Macbook Air work perfectly fine, so I know the problem is not with my Wifi device or it's connection, but specifically with the iPad mini w/ retina display
Note:
The iPad mini w/ retina display never has any issues with my home or work Wifi networks. The problem only happens when connected to my pocket Wifi device. Yet, all of my other iOS devices and my MacBook Air work perfectly with my pocket Wifi device, therefore I know the problem is not with the pocket Wifi device, but with the iPad mini with retina display.
Solutions:
Resetting the iPad mini w/ retina display to factory settings does not solve the problem
Resetting network settings on the iPad mini w/ retina display does not solve the problem
I have even replaced my original iPad mini w/ retina and got a new one. Yet, the new device exhibits the exact same behavior as the original device.
Conclusion:
I know this is not a hardware problem (since it happened with both my original as well as replacement device).
I know this is not a problem with my pocket WiFi router, since it works perfectly with all of my other iOS devices and MacBook Air.
Therefore, this must be a software / firmware bug with the iPad mini w/ retina display. Apple will need to fix this in a future software update.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.

Your only option is to sell the iPad and then buy the new one.

Aavailabe Space in iPad mini with retina display 16 GB

Hello,
I am considering to buy iPad mini with retina display 16 GB model. After searching a lot, I couldn't find the space available for the users. Can you please tell me the available memory for users (apart from the OS)?
It would also be helpful if you also post the memory available for users in iPad Air 16 GB.
Thanks in advance,
Vaibhav Sharan

You'll have approximately 13 gig and change to use after you take out the operating system.

When is the ipad mini with retina display launching

Yeah I'm thinking of buying an Ipad mini but I don't know whether to wait for when it comes out with retina display because I don't want to wait particularly long

We are fellow users, we won't know if/when there might be an iPad Mini with retina display until if/when Apple announce something.

MY IPAD(3RD GENERATION)STOP DISPLAYING

my ipad has suddenly stopped displaying screen or home screen it shows black screen and when i tried to plug in to charge nothing happens just makes a sound i even tried to restart but i cannot as the swipe screen is not displaying its black as if its shutdown
so...can anyone help me with this is my display has broken???

Try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

IPad 2 now only displays in landscape mode.

My iPad 2 now only displays in one landscape mode. It won't change the screen when I rotate the iPad. Is this an iOS6 glitch?

The button right above the volume button (slide) can be for quickly silencing your iPad or for locking the screen quickly. You can choose whichever one you want through the settings, and you can also manually lock/unlock the screen in the settings.
