Iphone 6 won't lock into landscape mode, keep switching back to portrait mode

Hi,
Please help me, this has driven me nut, I can't seem to lock my iphone 6 into landscape mode, it will only lock my screen when I am in portrait mode.
For example, if I open safari and turn my phone sideway, safari would turn into landscape mode, and if I want to lock my screen to keep it in landscape mode, it won't do it, as soon as I select that screen lock button, it will turn back to portrait mode and lock my screen up into portrait mode.
What should I do to keep my screen lock at landscape mode??? I have tried this with several apps and the same thing happen, like in Calculator, when I turn it sideway and try to lock it, it goes right back to portrait mode.
I restored my iPhone 6 from my iPhone 5c so just wonder if it has anything to do with that or just some bugs in iOS8???
My current display is in Standard and not Zoom display, and I even try to set it as Zoom and then reset it back to Standard to try to see if it works and it still doesn't work.
HELP ME!!!!

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.

Lansdcape & portrait mode keep switching

I have 2 games downloaded from iTunes (Bejeweled & Sonic the Hedgehog) and they keep switching from landscape to portrait, without my intervention.
When I close the games, the menu flips to landscape orientation.
If I click on Cover flow the menu switches back to portrait.
Does anyone know how I can solve this?

HT5642 my ipod touch 5th gen is not recognized since I tried to update ios. It says it is in recovery mode but it just keeps looping back to recovery mode. I tried holging power button for 3 sec. then both home and power for 10 sec then home button for 20

My ipod touch 5th generation went into recovery mode when I tried to update ios. When I try to recover it just keeps looping back to recovery mode. I tried to hold the power button for 3 secs. then simultaneously hold the home button for 10 secs. then hold only power button for 20 secs. I tried this several times to no avail. This is my daughter's ipod. I am computer illiterate and I'm not sure what else to try.

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hi am having problem syncing my iphone 3GS to my pc. It keeps showing backing up step 1 of 4 and run for hours and not sync. I have restarted my pc many times plugged and unplugged my iphone and it does not work at all.

I have been having trouble syncing my iphone after updating version 10. Satus keeps showing backing up step 1 of 4 forever on my pc. I have tried re plugging and restarting my pc but none work so far. I have not been able to sync my iphone since. Help!? Pls

Thanks for the stellar reply gdgmacguy. I had no idea the AppleID used to purchase the device was forever tied to it. Great to know.
May I add another layer of complexity to the issue? I plan on buying her the iPhone 4S for Christmas. Assumed all I would have to do is sync the new phone to iTunes on her pc and all her data/apps/music/pictures would transfer over.
Can I use her new account when I sync the 4S for the first time or will it prompt me for mine?
Thanks again.

Since iTunes update 8.1.1, iTunes keeps switching to mini-player mode

As the title says, when I open up iTunes after my macbook has been booted it keeps switching to mini-player mode instead of the full library. Sometimes does it when I open up iTunes whilst playing music as well. Never had this problem before seems to have started after the 8.1.1 update.
Any ideas how I could fix it or is it a new bug, tried deleting the preferences file in my home directory.

Thanks for that. The answer was really quite simple! For some reason with iTunes 8.1 it is necessary to turn of Airport Express speakers in order to watch music videos on the computer: before the videos played normally (without audio through AE speakers).

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

My persona keeps switching back!

I've had the same persona for a while now, so today I tried to change it and got a few new themes. It let me add them, but when I exited out and immediately opened FireFox again, it was back to the old one! No matter what I do, it just keeps switching back. I can go into tools and manually change it, but it doesn't stay after I reopen FireFox. It gets really annoying, please help!

McAfee Site Advisor which you appear to have installed is the most likely culprit. See this post: http://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/753639 (Patch at the foot of the thread).

Some of your plugins are also out of date and expose your system to attack. I recommend you visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop. It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle. I had it on charge all night but still dead.

My screensaver keeps switching back to national geographic from iPhoto

my screensaver keeps switching back to national geographic from iPhoto pictures

ASC member big.josh writes in this thread:
If I select the 'iPhoto' library icon that first comes up (in the hope of seeing all my Photos) it reverts to National Geographic when the screensaver runs.
But if I click the triangle to the left of the 'iPhoto' icon, and then select the 'Photos' icon from the drop-down list that appears, the screensaver does not revert to displaying National Geographic photos.
I haven't tested this solution, but it's more plausible than any of the others I've seen.
