IPhone 4 (No longer rotates) after 4.2.1

Hi, has anyone had an issue after updating to OS4.2.1 and loosing the abilty for the phone to rotate. I have checked the button to lock the orientation is not turned on but it has no effect. The phone will simply no longer rotate in any application, photos, safari.

Have you tried re-booting the phone by holding down the sleep and home buttons together for around 15 seconds and until the Apple logo appears? This cures most issues?

My iPhone 4S no longer syncs after upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3

y iPhone 4S no longer syncs after upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 - any solutions out there?

Thanks - got stuck with the upgrade to 10.6.8, but Apple Support was able to navigate me through that, the date settings caused a problem here.

HT1947 Remote app on iPad no longer rotates after upgrade to iOS 7

I love Remote, use on both my iPhone and iPad. However, after upgrading the iPad to iOS 7, the app no longer rotates to horizontal view - in fact, it doesn't rotate at all. Bad enough no horizontal, but to not rotate at all means that I can't orient my iPad angled up, while having the power cord plugged in at the bottom?
Seems so strange that this would be changed - why? Maybe I need to re-install?
Help.
Thanks,
Bruce

IPad/iPhone file browser (iPhone Explorer) no longer working after iTunes update

iTunes freezes up on me a lot when I connect my iPad, so I prefer to add files to apps using a file browser like iPhone Explorer. However, after this most recent iTunes/Quicktime update, this and other programs like it don't work.
My computer is running Windows XP (yeah, I know it's old, but I'm not made of money!). I have an iPad 2 with the most recent iOS version installed.
Here's the error message iPhone Explorer gives me:
"iPhone Explorer is unable to load the app directories because the version of CoreFoundation.dll installed on your system doesn't work properly. This sucky DLL likely got on to your computer because of a recent update in the Safari web browser. Because this sucky DLL is shared between many other Apple programs, reverting back to the non-sucky version is more complicated than just uninstalling and reinstalling a couple programs. We recommend waiting a couple months for the next Safari update and hopefully Apple will have this stuff fixed then."
I don't have Safari installed on my computer. Just iTunes (and Quicktime).
As a result, you can't browse the app directories, so you can't add any files to apps. I tried uninstalling iTunes and replacing it with an older version, but it wouldn't open because it said the library file was created by a "newer version." I'm also having some trouble even getting iTunes to show the files in my apps (under iPad -> Apps -> scroll to bottom of the screen), but that might just be a symptom of my old iTunes-freezing problems.
I'm kind of stuck. Anyone else experience this problem or have any suggestions? Thanks!!

That's XP SP3 I hope? iPhone Explorer support is shown at the bottom of the page you linked above or at [email protected] and it's them you should be asking really.
You should be keeping iTunes and the iPad software always up to date for security reasons. If that breaks external software then they are the ones to ask.
If you are having problems with the iPad then try resetting it by clicking the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You wont lose anything.
If iTunes is acting up then try asking on that forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows

IPhone 3G no longer works after attempt to upgrade to 2.0.1

Hi all,
I have a black 16 GB iPhone 3G on a contract with Vodafone Australia. Last night I attempted to upgrade the firmware through iTunes to 2.0.1, after getting the latest security update and version of iTunes (7.7.1 I think it is). Anyway, the iPhone software appeared to download fully but then when it tried to apply the update everything froze and all I could see was the apple logo in the centre of the screen with the spinning cog below. I have tried restoring and followed everything I could find in Apple's support documents, including trying to put in DFU mode and restore but nothing - I keep getting a 1604 error. I can't contact Apple as their phone lines are only open weekdays and there is no Apple store in Melbourne as yet. Any ideas?

It was like that overnight. However, I just took the iPhone in to a Vodafone store and they replaced it with a brand new one. Problem solved I guess. Just synced up the new phone with latest firmware and everything seems to be working fine.

IPad will no longer rotate after upgrade

As of 2-11-14 my Ipad3 is unable to rotate any screens. I have tried all that I know and have read. Please help.

You didn't drop your iPad or bang it against anything did you?
I assume that you do not see the screen lock symbol since it has been pointed out to you twice in this discussion and you insist that everything that we have suggested to this point has not worked. You have also stated that you have tried all that you know and have read - whatever that is because we have no clue what you know and have read.
Having said that, if resetting the settings like Diavonex suggested still didn't do the trick, I would suggest closing all apps next and reset the iPad again like I suggested in my first post. If you don't know how to close apps - Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. Close them all and reset the iPad.
If that fails, then it's probably time to restore the iOS software.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
If you have no success with that, you should consider making an appointment at an Apple store and ask for their help.

Voice memo on iPhone 4 no longer works after iOS 6 update.

Since updating to iOS 6, voice memo no longer works. It kills itself upon launch. If it doesn't do it automatically, it does it once I hit any of the buttons in it (i.e. record). I've tried hard reset and regular restart. Haven't tried restoring because I noticed it on my way to work.
Anyone else have this problem?

I went to Apple and they helped me restore my phone to see if that would solve the problem and it did. Essentially restoring wipes your phone and you start from scratch. I was able to "restore from backup" and so I didn't lose anything.

My Iphone 4s no longer rotates the screen. Any suggestions to fix this?

When I rotate the phone, nothing happens. I feel like I must have changed a setting but can't figure out what happened.

Turn off Portrait lock.
In iOS6 and earlier, double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar. Swipe to the right to access the music controls. Tap the button that looks like a circular arrow with a lock inside it.
In iOS7, Portrait lock is in Control Center.

My 3GS iphone voicemail no longer works

My 3GS iPhone voicemail no longer works after installing OS 4.2. My ATT voicemail box still works ok. I've reset the password and network. Any ideas? ATT can't help as they think its a problem with the phone.

A call comes in, gets listed as a missed call and shows up as missed call. No indication nor a message saying that a voice mail has been left. When I dial my ATT voice mail box by holding down the 1 key, I have a message waiting. Used to be when voice mail arrived there would be an indicator lit on the voice mail icon on the phone and I could listen to the voice mail via the visual voice mail on the phone.

Iphone 5 no longer connects to my PC after last update OS8.1

Firstly I am not a "tech" expert and really do not understand the whole lingo etc - in fact I find it VERY overwhelming whenever I have an issue that needs to be solved with all the massive volume of technical jargon thrown around and end up being totally lost and frustrated - so if there is anyone who can help that will be just wonderful.
I have an I-phone 5 and a Toshiba PC which runs Windows 7 - easy so far.
I use my phone for a small business (otherwise I wouldn't have one at all) and when I go to do quotes I take photos and then downloaded them to my PC for future reference (I have ALWAYS been able to do this by simply plugging my phone into a free USB port (always use the same one for all devices) and away we go all works great.
HOWEVER, since the last 2 updates my Iphone will no longer connect to my PC. After the first one was botched (the one that was recalled quickly) and OS8.1 (which I know have) - whenever I do this exact same procedure my Iphone does no longer appear.
How do I make it work again - the simple, easy, straightforward way that it used to (I guess that since the Apple thing has now been "improved" and made "better and easier" for me it will be impossible to do?
