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:
_iPad: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)_

Disable Home Screen Lock

How do I Disable the home screen lock on my Touch 9800? In the Security settings > Password the lock icon is Enabled and can not be disabled! The only options are lock after 1, 2, 5, or 10 minutes. Is there a way to disable the lock feature?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you are on BES, it may be forced by your BES Admins...you'd need to talk to them to see about changing it.
If you have activated Encryption/Content Protection, then the password is required to support that. You'd have to disable that in order to be allowed to also disable the password.
Good luck and let us know!

How to remove items from iPad home screen?

How to remove items from iPad home screen?

Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

Ipad home screen won't automatically adjust to horizontal orientation

what is the solution when ipad home screen won't automatically adjust to horizontal orientation?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

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

On my iPad home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new emails I had with a number in a red circle. This has vanished since I upgraded. Does anyone know why, and how to restore this?

On my IPad 2 home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new messages with a number in a red circle, next to the app. This has vanished, I think about the same time as when I upgraded to the new OS. Does anyone know why and how to restore this feature?

What makes an iPad home screen "go big"? its like the screen has been pinched outwards

What would make an iPad screen "go big"? My son keeps experiencing an issue where the home screen will enlarge and freeze. I am unable to replicate this on any of our other apple products (iPhones and another iPad). Is it possible that he is pushing or clicking something that I dont know about? If so, what would that be? Is there somewhere in the settings menu that I could keep this from happening for him? Any advice or answers help. Thank you.

A quick double tap on the screen zoom in and makes the view bigger. But normally the screen doesn't freeze and it an be returned to normal with another double tap.

How do i get my ipod 5 unlock? i cant get past the home screen lock (home screen lock is what i need unlocked) plz help

how do i get my ipod 5 unlocked from the homescreen? plz help

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

IPad home screen icons stuck in top left

Ok so I was playing angry birds then I quit and went to the main part of the home screen. But when I got there all of the preinstalled apps were in the top left. Intrestingly, they all worked fine, but I could position them anywhere (out of the usual restricted grid). The original icons in their original places were there, but I couldn't click on them. Although it is pretty awesome, the main home screen is pretty messy and I would like to know if there is any fix to it, since it isn't going by switching on and off etc.. Thanks for any answers in advance.

Home screen locked because of storage popup

I repeatedly receive "not enough icloud storage" popups and simply ignore them (I hit the cancel button on the popup so the popup disappears).
Somehow this popup occurred after the ipad became locked. Now I cannot access the screen below the popup to "slide to unlock" or to "slide to turn power off". I continuously hit the cancel or settings button on the popup but nothing happens. I'm assuming the popup will not work because the screen is locked, but the screen buttons cannnot work because the popup is in the way!
I went online to iCloud and reset my photo stream so I can have available storage but the iPad is still giving me the same problem.
I downloaded iCloud to my PC so I can manage my storage there but when I try to log on, it tells me there was a server error.
What is going on and what can I do? I do not have warranty because the iPad was a gift for me (they bought it used with just one month warranty left which expired).
Thanks!

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

What do i do if i cannot go to my ipad home screen?

My ipad is stuck with the "itunes" icon an arrow with the picture of usb cord. I have tried restarting my ipad but the same picture comes up. I have also tried tapping the icon and holding it down. Nothing works. Any suggestions to get back to my home page would be aprpeciated.

That means that you have to restore the iOS software. Something went wrong on your iPad and you have to fix it now before you can use it.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes if it does not start on its own. Read this.
