IPhone 6 Plus doesn't switch to landscape mode on the home screen

my new iPhone 6+ will not switch to landscape mode when turned horizontally in the homepage. Any thoughts about why this is? It will inindividual apps, but just not on the home page. And no, my screen orientation is not locked in portrait mode.  Is anyone else having similar problems or have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

My iPhone 6+ doesn't:
 rotate to landscape mode on the home screen
 display dual-paned email
 display the extended keyboard in landscape mode.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing all three symptoms on their 6+ too?
(It ***** because I bought the horsey 6+ for these features.)
I'm suspicious that it was my restore that did it. Did anyone else experiencing the "no rotate" bug restore from an iTunes backup? I did, and I think that it went afoul. I restored from an iTunes backup (via USB), from an iPhone 5s running the iOS 8 GM Seed.
Does this ring a bell?
I'd rather not wipe it and set it up as a new device as this takes HOURS that I don't have right now, but I suspect that the restore (possibly the iOS 8 GM) is the culprit.
Thanks!

    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.

  • 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 will not switch to landscape mode for pictures,videos or tv

    My iPhone 6 stopped switching to landscape mode for movies,pictures,tv or vedio.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    TThe first thing to do is check, as Dilbert41 mentioned, whether the Rotation Lock is on. if you see the circular arrow around a small padlock at the top right of your screen turn it off using the Control Center. If the Roation Lock is off try a reset of your iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

    My iPhone 4S seems to be in visual impaired mode, and the touch screen no longer works.  I have tried rebooting the phone without success.  How can I get back to normal mode?

    I solved my own problem by clicking the home button 3 times.

    Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

  • HT201263 iphone 4 will not turn on for anything. touching the home screen and lock screen still doesnt turn it on. what should i do

    my iphone 4 was working fine yesterday and last night it just started cutting off and on by its self and now it doesnt want to come on at all. what should i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Take it apart and verify that you reassembled it correctly. Next take it to someone with more experience.

  • Turn off landscape mode on the music player

    Hello,
    Is there away to keep the music player on the iphone from switching to landscape mode? The slightest movement switches it to landscape mode and I can't see the progress bar. (important for my mp3s which are several hours).
    I've been all over the settings, so i'm assuming I can't, but I'd thought I'd ask.
    Thanks!

    Sorry, you can't disable landscape mode. You can send feedback to Apple here... http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • 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.

  • IPhone wont switch to landscape mode

    My iPhone wont switch to landscape mode when I rotate the phone.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    You likely have the rotation lock on.
    This is covered in the manual:

  • Apps won't switch to landscape mode

    Many of my apps won't switch to landscape mode (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Yelp).  I know that landscape works on my phone because Photos, Messages, Calculator, etc. will switch to landscape mode.  Also, I don't have the portrait lock on.  The apps used to switch to landscape - what's up?  Could it be because of the new update?

    Then the next steps in user troubleshooting are restore from backup, and if necessary restore as new. I would also ask, have you checked to make sure that the Orientation Lock is not on? Check in the status bar to see if you see a small padlock with a circular arrow around it next to the battery status. If so, you turn this off from the Control Center. Swipe upwards from off the bottom of the screen, then Orientation Lock is on the top row all the way to the right. White is on, black is off. I have also read that there is a screen zoom setting, either in Display & Brightness or Wallpaper. I don't have an iPhone 6, so I cannot compare. Supposedly in the zoom setting, it can prevent some things from happening, and I believe landscape orientation was one of them.

    My I phone will not switch to landscape mode. How can I reset?
    Thanks!

    If I'm following correctly, double tap the home button. Then slide the bar on the bottom of your screen to your right where you'll see the ipod icons and and a black icon on the left. If you see an image of a lock on the black icon, it means that you are locked in portrait orientation. Simply tap the icon to unlock it and that should free up landscape mode.
