IPHONE 5 won't go into landscape view.. portrait lock off

My phone will not go into landscape view at all for any app(messenger , safari, camera, etc.), portrait lock is off and have reset phone several times. Anyone have a fix for this?

Ok so I tried the compass app and completed the roll to calibrate the circle but theirs a second leveling test that's weird. Do I leave the phone in spot? Or am I suppose to keep moving the phone? Confused am I....

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.

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 .

If no joy...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...

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. Release the Buttons.

Hey Walterlam,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! And thanks for the question. There's two articles I'd like to point you to - try going through them in order, checking after each step to see if the issue is resolved.

If following those steps do not work, you can try restoring your iPhone:

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.

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

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

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.

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

IPhone 6 iTunes failure to display landscape view

I have an iPhone 6 running IOS8, all updates installed.
Just tried to view an iTunes video in landscape mode....failed.
My iPhone 4 worked fine.....
Other apps rotate fine...Safari does fine.
Zoom mode is off.
Did a complete reboot & restore.
No good.
Anybody having the same issue.
Local Mac 3rd party vendor said he'd never seen this.
Any ideas much appreciated.

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.

Numbers app won't switch to landscape view - ipod touch

The numbers app does not seem to be able to switch to landscape view on the ipod touch.
Is there someway to get it to run in horizontal mode?

It seems like it ought to be, I'm very dissapointed that this app won't do this.

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.

IPad Mini 1st Gen Springboad Won't Go Into Landscape Mode

After updating to iOS 8.0.2, I noticed that my iPad Mini 1st Gen will not go into landscape mode anymore when in the Springboard. When I'm in an app it works, but as soon as I press home it goes straight back into portrait. I checked all the settings and everything seems to be ok including the options for the rotation lock/mute button. Even the rotation option in the control centre is off. I have no clue what's going on. Can someone shed some light?

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that fixes it : 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.
Or there is an iOS update, version 8.1, which has just been released - one of the fixes listed for it, from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1758, is

IPhone 5 with updated ios8 won't change orientations (landscape vs portrait).

My iPhone five with updated ios8 won't change orientation between landscape and portrait. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Hi lmilesfromnowhere,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
There may be a couple of different things I would suggest here. The first thing I would do would be to check and make sure the orientation lock is off.
iOS: Screen does not rotate
If the lock is off and the issue continues, I would recommend restarting your device. If the issue continues after the restart, reset the device.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Have a great day,
Joe
