IPhone 4 no longer displays in landscape mode

Can only view photos in Portrait mode. Landscape simply no longer works. Any ideas? Must I go in and see "Genius?" Thanks.

My iPhone no longer switches to landscape mode

my iPhone no longer switches to landscape mode, any suggestions

Make sure it's not in Portrait mode. Double-click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar, go to the left, the leftmost icon should be an empty square. Click it to turn on or off Portrait mode.

I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

Double click round home button then slide icon on the bottom of screen to so you go all the way to left. There you will see a square icon with a circle arrow . That is the screen rotation control button. Tap on that to lock/unlock screen rotatio

IPhone 6 month view in landscape mode??

hello, was wondering if there is a way to view an entire month in landscape mode on the regular iPhone 6 just like we can on the iPad?? Couldn't find it and would love this feature if it doesn't exist. I don't schedule things by the hour. I think the screen is plenty big for this and the month view in horizontal mode is useless since the little dots won't show colors.
Thanks for any info!

I haven't found a way to display the whole month in landscape view on my iPhone 6. May not exist. You can send feedback to Apple about this here:

Different song displayed in landscape mode?

Since upgrading iphone 5 to iOS7 the current song is only displayed in portrait. When I turn the phone to landscape, a completely different song displays, though the current song keeps playing. I have to turn the phone back to operate any controls. Can't believe this is intentional? Is there a cure?
Thanks.

I hope everybody on all the related threads writes to Apple (http://www.apple.com/feedback/) to point out that it's downright *DANGEROUS* that the only way to skip songs while driving is to reach over and dismount our iPhones so we can turn them to profile view—instead of just a quick tap of the >> button in landscape mode.
Didn't they get the memo that distracted driving kills people?

HT3382 With a MacbookAir (mid-2012) using a mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt port, can you configure the external monitor to FULLY display in portrait mode yet keep the built-in display in landscape mode?

With an 11"-inch Macbook Air (mid-2012) using a mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt port:
Can you configure an extended desktop with an external monitor (20") displaying full portrait mode (1200 x 1600 resolution) and keep the built-in display in landscape?
I'd like to see something like
External monitor / Built-in display

Yes, I can't see why not.
Just give it a try and report back if you have a problem.

Notification center on white iPhone 4s only present in "landscape" mode.

Hello,
After purchasing a new white iPhone 4s, the notification center and tab, is not present or able to be swiped down when holding the telephone in portrait mode.
However when I rotate to landscape mode, the tab appears and I can acces the notification center. Has anyone found a fix for this? I have tried resetting, rebooting, and restoring the iphone.
Thanks

Why will iphone not play video in landscape mode anymore

I am a HUGE purchaser and user of iTunes Music Videos and on my iPhone, I was happily playing them in playlists and watching them in landscape orientation as a video playlist.
I was quite upset when I bought my first iPad and found that it simply would not support this basic (for me) functionality.   But I searched and found a music video playlist app and purchased what SHOULD HAVE BEEN included functionality on the iPad.   Seriously, if the iPhone could do this basic operation why shouldn't the iPad, which is much better suited for video playlists with the bigger screen?
Now, after updating to iOS7, you've broken the functionality even moreso.   Imagine my joy, surprise and sheer level of cursing and swearing when I turned my videos into landscape mode and found some dickbag has decided I should see album covers instead of my video in full screen on the phone.
So, Apple, the "We sell devices so that we can also sell the media" company,   why are you screwing with something that should be basic and intuitive on the phone and ipad?
I, and I expect everyone else, expect to open the music app, go to the music videos playlist automatically generated in that app (BY your programmers) and then be able to play the videos from the video playlists you allow me to create - my own playlists in both portrait and landscape modes.
So please fix this ever-increasing pain in the ***.    I will not be purchasing any more videos (And yes, check my history, I am quite likely in the top 5% of purchasers of music videos) because you are slowly removing the intuitive methods for playing them.
David Patrie

A revolutionary A7 processor with 64-bit architecture, and none of those bits are smart enough to figure out "hey, maybe if my owner is listening to a video in the Music app and switches to landscape mode they're more interested in seeing the video larger, not unrelated album art thumbnails. Let me temporarily borrow the landscape view logic from the Video app."?
I hope they fix this at least by iOS 8. It's not logical (let alone user friendly) to exit out of the Music app and go into a separate Video app just to see a music video in landscape. The ironic thing is the Video app forces videos to be landscape – as if the logic it follows is that anyone watching a video really wants to see it in landscape – but yet that logic gets kicked off the boat when the video digits cross the river over to Music app land.

IPhone 3GS not working in landscape mode even after tilting.

My IPhone 3GS works only in portrait mode even if tilted to landscape mode for all apps. For the few apps which are primarily designed for landscape mode but do work in portrait mode, the device continues to work in landscape mode even when tilted to portrait. Continue to face this problem even after reloading iOS 6.

try switching off the portrait lock

Iphone 6 not going to landscape mode while in messages

For some reason when i try to type in landscape mode phone will not go to landscape more I have to close the app multiple times just for it to happen. Also bluetooth not working with any devices. And for some other reason while on FaceTime other people are saying my picture on there end was upside down.. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! Also when i double click the home button and try to go back into iMessage the keyboard is no where to be found for a couple of seconds..

Indeed the option to lock to portrait mode is not on in the control panel. The behavior of switching from portrait to landscape works fine in my hand, it's when the phone is in a holder that it does not detect the orientation and adjust accordingly. The iPhone 5 did this with no problem, but on iPhone 6 any app that allows landscape mode starts out in portrait mode and then does not automatically adjust. Rather you have to move the phone back into portrait mode and it's that motion of being re-oriented into landscape mode that finally triggers the switch.

Control center not working on iPhone 6 plus when in landscape mode

I has a iphone 5 before it , and there's no problem with the control center, now with this expensive iPhone 6 plus , the control is not working when the phone is in landscape mode , when the screen tapped repeatedly, I can only see the little tab of the control center but I can't able to bring it up.
Anyone has this problem?

Hello torontonightowl,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For some initial troubleshooting on this issue where you're unable to open the control center on your iPhone, please first restart your iPhone, and if the issue persists then reset the iPhone.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Iphone 6 gets stuck in landscape mode

Hello
iphone 6 or possibly the ios update has some bugs. For instance, it gets stuck in landscape mode even though the screen rotation is not locked.
In addition, safari does not react quickly when trying to access the menu to close a page or add a new one. It takes several attempts and after uing the home button several times, the menu finally appears.
Please advise

This is happening to me too. Some posts indicates that it is more likely to happen in zoom mode and switching to standard mode fixes it, but my phone has always been in standard mode. I am having this problem with an iPhone 6 128 GB phone with iOS 8.1. I hope this is only a software problem and not a hardware problem.

IPhone 6 getting stuck in landscape mode

My iPhone 6 keeps getting stuck in landscape mode. Also the camera will not always open from the locked screen, it just bounces up and down but does not slide all the way up to launch the camera app. Is apple working on a fix?
