IPad won't switch to landscape view

I updated my software on my iPad and now it won't switch to landscape view and it is not locked. I have restarted it and cleared my memory and checked every setting that I can think of. What now?

By restart do you mean a reset ? If there isn't a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator then try 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.
Is there is a lock symbol 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, 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

My Iphone5 won't switch to landscape view when I turn my phone to the side...what am I missing and how do I make this happen

My Iphone 5 won't turn to landscape view when I turn it to the side...what am I missing and how do I make this happen...it used to happen automatically...I thought.

I had the same problem but it wasn't because the orientation was locked .
Mine was some kind of glitch that was resolved by holding down the home key and the button on top until the white Apple appeared on the screen .

IPhone 4 won't switch to landscape view

Just got this phone a couple months ago, working OK until yesterday when it won't turn to view keypad in landscape mode...only portrait.
Any suggestions?
Thanks...

Let's get this resolved KRetz! Once you press your menu button twice quickly you will see your recently used applications at the bottom of the screen. Drag the screen to the right and look for the the Portrait Orientation Symbol and ensure the lock icon is not preset. You can remove the lock icon by tapping the Orientation Symbol. Please follow the visuals here http://vz.to/10KT4VI Thank you.

Alas, this did not help me. I don't have an Orientation Button or any Icon that would help in this endeavor. At the bottom of my Iphone 4s, there are 3 icons: Phone, Mail and Safari. That's it. I can't get those icons to move.
What is it you're trying to do? If you're looking for orientation lock in iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of your phone to access control center. Orientation lock is the top right icon.

IPhone 5s won't switch to landscape mode

I have the iPhone 5s (32GB) and the software currently being used is up to date (IOS 7.1.1).
My problem is that my phone won't switch to landscape mode. When I take pictures, it won't turn over, and all other apps, even when I play games like Temple Run, it won't allow the character to move side to side.
I have checked to see if my phone's orientation lock is on, which it is not. I have done a hard reset which did not fix it. I also did a restore where I restored it completely and set it up as a new phone, and restored it and set it up with a backup. Nothing has helped it!!
I don't know what to do, and would much rather figure it out than go to the Apple Store and get it looked at. If you have any knowledge or anything that can potentially help resolve this issue, i'd be very much appreciated!!
Thanks

Apps won't switch to landscape mode

Many of my apps won't switch to landscape mode (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Yelp). I know that landscape works on my phone because Photos, Messages, Calculator, etc. will switch to landscape mode. Also, I don't have the portrait lock on. The apps used to switch to landscape - what's up? Could it be because of the new update?

Then the next steps in user troubleshooting are restore from backup, and if necessary restore as new. I would also ask, have you checked to make sure that the Orientation Lock is not on? Check in the status bar to see if you see a small padlock with a circular arrow around it next to the battery status. If so, you turn this off from the Control Center. Swipe upwards from off the bottom of the screen, then Orientation Lock is on the top row all the way to the right. White is on, black is off. I have also read that there is a screen zoom setting, either in Display & Brightness or Wallpaper. I don't have an iPhone 6, so I cannot compare. Supposedly in the zoom setting, it can prevent some things from happening, and I believe landscape orientation was one of them.

My iPhone 4s will not switch to landscape view when streaming a video on Facebook. It works on YouTube and safari, just not Facebook. Help?

Well I deleted the Facebook app and reinstalled the latest version to try to correct the issue and it still didnt work. I had changed a bunch of settings earlier to try and fix it and it worked for the video to be landscape but as soon as I closed out of the app and re-opened it then it quit working.

HI,
Try resetting your iPhone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears restore the iPhone software.
Check to see if you have this app installed. http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/2009/03/22/rotation-inhibitor-turn-off-auto-rot ating-feature/

IPod won't go in landscape view

Hi. I have an old 3rd generation iPod Touch that's going on 2 years and has definitely been loved. It now seems however that it can't go into landscape view when turned over. When certain apps or videos play, it works fine, but when I try to go into cover album scroll or something it doesn't work. Suggestions?

Hello,
Is there a lock icon in the top right corner? That would indicate your problem.
Just the same, try double tapping the home button, and slide to the right once.
There should be a lock and arrow icon, that will lock or unlock your orientation.
That should be the answer to your problem.

My iphone 5 suddenly won't switch to landscape mode when texting

I've had iphone 5 for about 2 weeks and recently when I turn my phone to landscape when texting it doesn't switch to landscape

Again make sure rotation lock is disabled as TJBUSMC1973 kindly suggested. Then what you want to do is:
- leave the multitasking bar up
- hold your finger on the messages app till it starts to wiggle
- tap the red button with the - in it on the messages app
then do a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then release both buttons as soon as you see the apple logo appear
Now try opening the messages app and view it landscape.

IPad 2 safari won't open and iPad won't switch off IOS 6.0.1

Hallo everyone,
Pleease can anyone help as my iPad 2 is no longer recognised in iTunes.
I cannot open Safari - it immediately returns to the home screen.
It will not switch off so that I can reboot it.
Aaaargh !
Thanks

Quit ALL apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open 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.
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 - let go of the buttons.
Do this for Safari as well. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. 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.
