Iphone 6; Itunes portrait view vs landscape

Itunes playlists appear normal in portrait view but when I mount the device on my bike, the landscape presentation changes to album view. Disables my ability to change songs, volume, playlist, etc. Apple Store said 'that's the way it is'. Any suggestions?

I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode. So, there is nothing wrong with your phone, unfortunately they removed a very useful feature. Maybe they will see if enough users want it they will fix it in an update.

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.

Export portrait view of landscape iBooks Author file?

I'm working with a template in iBooks Author that is landscape layout. I enabled the portrait view (in Inspector > Document). When I preview my book on iPad it flips to portrait orientation -- changes to pure scrolling, images moved to sides of text, etc. -- exactly as it should.
I want to know if I can export this portrait view (which I can only see on the iPad) as a PDF, or if I'm limited to exporting the landscape view (which is how I work with the file / how my template is set up in iBooks Author).
I'm pretty sure the answer is the latter, but want to be 100% sure -- matters a lot for the project I'm working on. Haven't been able to find a definitive answer here.
Thanks!

iBooks Author has two (2) options which can be combined or separated.
You can choose to disable portrait mode and create your book in landscape only. If you export that to PDF.. it will either show in landscape or you can change in Acrobat or whatever PDF viewer you use.
IF you want to stay with a Portrait layout... then as previously advised, select a Portrait book template and edit your content to suite.
IF you want to have both options - then you have to create your content to suit the mode you wish to see it viewed. The top menu allows you to choose which orientation mode is viewed.
It take a little experience or patience to create a book using both modes and to be honest , I suggest that most "readers" of such books get confused and / or bored by having to change the iPad around to view.

Canvas in Portrait View

Does anyone know how or why after importing some still images why my canvas appears in portrait view versus landscape. When I first add stills to timeline (they are in portrait mode) canvas and title safe area is in landscape view. Somewhere down the road canvas changed to portrait view. Then when I add some more stills later on that are in landscape layout the canvas is still in portrait view. I can not find any info on this in the manual.
Confused and desperate for your help.

The only way I can get the image in the Canvas to alter to portrait mode is to rotate it 90 degrees to the right in Motion but the Canvas itself still remains as a horizontal rectangle.

I use to be able to rotate my iPhone and change the view of an image, Web page, email, and so on, from portrait to landscape, but after update, I cannot. I can only view in portrait mode. Anybody know what's up with that?

You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B.
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure in the phone that needs evaluation by Apple.

IPhone work switch to Cover Flow, portrait view when turned on its side!

Hi
I have only had my phone for a week and its seems to have just stopped switching to Cover Flow or portrait view in Safari or when looking at photos when its turn on its side.. but everything else appears to work fine...
I've restarted, refreshed, recharged, reinstalled the software from scratch and its still the same...
Any ideas?

That's the weird thing. In all the apps I have the accelerometer appears to rejoster the motion correcty.
I have an app with a small ball that moveswhen you tilt or rotate the iPhone and this clearly register the rotation perfectly. So I can only assume the accerometer is working fine.
But when I go to Safari and rotate the iPhone on it's side it doesn't rotate the browser as it should.
When I go into iTunes and again rotate the iPhone it doesn't change to cover flow.
And again when looking at pictures it doesn't rotate the image.
The annoying thing is that it all used to work and only just seems to have stopped, yet nothing has happened to have caused this.

IPhone 6 locked in portrait view. How to unlock?

iPhone 6 locked in portrait view. How to unlock to allow landscape view?

Swipe up from the bottom of the Home screen to open the Control Center. Tap on the button on the far right at the top (the one with the little lock surrounded by a circle with an arrow) to unlock your screen rotation.

Purchased a movie on my iPhone throught iTunes? I can see it on my computer but I cannot get it to my iPad. I have been looking at all the setting on my computer, iPad and iPhone and I still can't view it on my iPad. How can I view it on my iPad?

I purchased a movie on my iPhone through iTunes. I can see it on my pc and I shared all my media. I am unable to watch it or download it to my iPad. I am using the same email account for all devices for home sharing. I am not sure what the issue is with this and I have check and rechecked many settings many times. How can I view a movie I purchased on iTunes on one device, on all my other devices?

If it's a rental film (not a purchased film) that you downloaded on your phone then you can't move it to your computer's iTunes - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657:
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs?

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs? When I view the music stored on my iMac, I get a choice to view by Songs, Artists, Albums, Composers, etc. But I don't get any choice with the music on my iPhone.
Its really hard to manage the music on my iPhone. I want to quickly remove albums and add new ones.
Is there a solution that I haven't seen?

Create a playlist, add/delete albums and sync this playlist.
You don't need to manually manage the iPhone music to do this.

Text in landscape orientation is not showing up in portrait view

When I have added additional pages while working in landscape mode and added text to these pages, the text is not showing in portrait view. The only text that shows is the one that comes if I have used the default text box in the 2 column mode. Even using the default textbook I find is not looking good because extra spaces I am putting in for landscape mode aren't needed in the other view. Finally, the headers are also not showing up in portrait view. What to do?
Other difficulties:
1) hyperlinking text is defaulting to the hyperlink character style which is not letting me change the colour from red to blue.
2) jpg images are not being recognized as figures. I would like to be able to bookmark the images, but it is not allowing me. I would also like to have them show in portrait mode, but they are not.
Thank you!!!

Sorry if I'm being daft, but what do you mean by linking the text fields? I have one text box in landscape view. When I go to portrait, it no longer exists. If I insert a text box in portrait view, it does not appear in landscape.
I'm not sure if this is the same problem, but I'm hoping you might have some ideas.
Thanks.

Any other choices besides the portrait Album View or landscape Coverflow?

Is there a way to get the iPhone to display the Artist and song in something other than the 6 point font used to display the Artist/Song Title/Album while in the iPhone is in portrait orientation? It is hard to read with the gray and white fonts and nearly impossible to read in the car due to the small font size. The Coverflow display in landscape is fairly useless with the small font, the inability to display the correct artist information for compilations, and the fact that it does not always show the song that is currently playing?

E52 landscape/portrait view

Is there a way to manually switch from portrait to landscape view and back ?

As etresoft has already said, applications start in portrait; you cannot start an app in landscape mode. Right after the -viewDidLoad is called, if the device is in a different orientation and -shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation returns YES, then -willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation: duration: will get called.
There is a bug in the simulator that might be the cause of your concern. If you start your app from Xcode while the simulator is in landscape, your app will not rotate properly, but it works on the actual device.
If you really don't want to load the portrait webview at app startup, then I suggest you make a method like this:
- (void)loadWebview {
if ([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation] == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait ||
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation] == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
// load your portrait view
else {
// load your landscape view
Then call the above with a delay in your -viewDidLoad method.

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.
