IPhone Apps in Landscape Mode on iPad

With the new high resolution display, why won't the small iPhone apps rotate to landscape mode? This is incredibly annoying when I have my iPad docked and I need to run one of these apps. There's plenty of resolution to rotate the app to landscape!

  • Publish / preview iphone app in landscape mode

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it is possible to get my iphone app to preview in landscape mode without having to manually rotate it.  I have it set to landscape mode with the landscape stage size, but it launches the preview in portrait mode.
    Thanks

    really? i still get the portrait sized window with a horrible pixelated shrunken version of the landscape mode in the middle..

    Hello, bravy114. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Check to see if screen-orientation lock is enabled in Control Center.  Here are the steps on how to enable or disable this feature.

  • IPhone keyboard in Landscape Mode

    Hey,
    Is any one else having the same issue ? Any solution is appreciated. When I use my iPhone keyboard in landscape mode (application - gmail) some of the letters in the keyboard don't pop-up. The keyboard inputs the letters in the mail however the on-screen prompt for a key being pressed (letters jumping up) does not happen. It happens for different letters each time. I have seen 'q' key do that .... r some times etc. It is not just the first row of letters too. I have seen other letters.
    I reset the phone, restored it and even got a warranty exchange. I still have this issue. Any ideas ?
    Peace...

  • How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?

    How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.

    Try following - 1 by 1:-
    * make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
    * turn off mobile and turned it back on
    * hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
    If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
    * resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
    * resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
    * restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
    last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
    Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
    Cheers!

  • Start app in landscape mode locked and later enable autoOrients

    Hi!
    I want to start my app in landscape mode locked and when an effect finished unlocks autorients to true and the user can change the orientation.of the device.
    I have tried few things but i can't get it. My descriptor file contains:
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
    And in my code when the effect is finished:
    stage.autoOrients = true
    When i play my app in desktop it run but later running it in a phisichal device (playbook) orientation its ever locked.
    ¿Is posible lock orientation (and force landscape mode) and later unlock orientation?
    Thanks so much!

    You should be able to do this now (AIR 2.6). The Stage.autoOrients property used to be read-only, but now it is writable. The main gotcha is that when you set Stage.autoOrients to false, the exact result is device-dependent. You might have it lock to the current orientation, or it might switch to the device default orientation and lock to that (you can still use setOrientation() to change, though). In my limited testing (3 devices), it has always done the latter (portrait is the default on phones, landscape on tablets).

  • The iPhone 5 in landscape mode is a tablet for the Fluid Grid layout

    Hi all,
    I created a "fluid" layout for a site and realized that the iPhone 5, in landscape mode, is > 480 pixels, so the "tablet" layout is applied.
    Have you encountered this issue as well? How to solve it? I thought I might modify the CSS media query and define the tablet as > 536 but maybe some-one has a more elegant solution?
    And, in general, when is a phone really a tablet?
    Bootstrap from Twitter suggests four types of widths.
    /* Large desktop */
    @media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }
    /* Portrait tablet to landscape and desktop */
    @media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) { ... }
    /* Landscape phone to portrait tablet */
    @media (max-width: 767px) { ... }
    /* Landscape phones and down */
    @media (max-width: 480px) { ... }
    In this framework (which is very similar to DW's fluid grid: it has a class called "clearfix" which suggests me something), under 768 it's still a phone... Is IT? What do you think?

    Smartphones are getting bigger.  Tablets are getting smaller.  So there's bound to be some overlap between devices.  I just don't see this as a problem.   Nor should you.

  • Hello, my Ipad was stolen about a week ago, I activated the "find my iPhone" app, however it says my Ipad is offline since the day it was stolen, so does anyone know:

    Hello, my Ipad was stolen about a week ago, I activated the "find my iPhone" app, however it says my Ipad is offline since the day it was stolen,  does anyone know…:
    1. Is there another way I can track its location, or more importantly have the information stored on my Ipad erased ASAP?
    2. Taking into consideration I blocked the iPad using the find my iPhone app, is there anyway the iPad can be used? Can someone erase all the data, my itunes account, reset all settings etc.? before connecting online?
    3. How can I recover my photos? I already signed in to icloud on my PC and I have no "Photo" icon, does this mean that they are lost?
    Thank you!

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • Can I use iPhone apps. On my new iPad without buying them again?

    Can I use iPhone apps. On my new iPad without buying them again?

    Yes you can (unless they are apps that require the iPhone's full phone capability - I have some apps on my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch
    If they are designed just for the iPhone/iPod Touch then they will just take up that sized portion of the screen. There will be a '2x' button on the screen, but that effectively just doubles the size of each pixel in both directions, so it may then appear pixelated.

  • I find using the iPhone / iPod size virtual keypad much easier to use with a stylus...as when an iPhone app is installed on the iPad.  Anyway to use the iPhone size keypad with all apps?

    I find using the iPhone / iPod size virtual keypad much easier to use with a stylus...as when an iPhone app is installed on the iPad.  Anyway to use the iPhone size keypad with all apps?

    I don't want the keyboard to become bigger.  Wish there was a way to always have the iPhone sized keypad available for use with any app.  When typing with fingers or stylus, the distance between keystrokes is SO much shorter and efficent on the iPhone keypad vs the "full size" iPad keyboard.
    I've heard that there will be some keyboard options when the new IOS comes out...wish this was one of them.
    Haven't looked yet, but is there a place you can recommend things such as this to Apple? 
    Thanks.

  • I just started using the Pages app on my iPad2. Two questions: Do I have to buy the Pages iPhone app separately or will the iPad version sync to my iPhone 3GS? Am I able to sync Pages docs created on my iPad2 for viewing/editing on my iPhone 3GS?

    You can use the File Sharing feature at the bottom of the iTunes Apps pane when you connect to iTunes. Transfer the documents to your computer, and from there to your iPhone.

  • IPhone test in landscape mode

    Hi,
    I use Device Central to test my site "through the eyes of an iPhone user", and it works just as expected. Question: Is there an option to view my site on a mobile phone held horizontically, will say: in landscape mode? For the life of me I can't find such an option. I would ask in the Device Central forum, but there seems to be nobody there. If somebody knows of another working emulator that has this feature, I'd be glad also. Thank you for your time.
    Christoph

    Apple has it's own iPhone and iPad emulators when you become an Apple Developer for the iOS platform and download the SDK.  The application comes with an annual fee.  I am sure that you can view your application in landscape mode in those emulators, but there are definitely other Windows-based emulators although I am not sure which ones support the "new" iPhone 4 (screen resolution I'm talking here).
    If you develop your site in Flash and export it using the iPhone Packager there is an option for Landscape, Portrait, or Auto orientation as well as Full-Screen mode.  Flash's iPhone packager can be unreliable though if you don't code your ActionScript properly.  This iPhone packager is only available on Flash CS5 Professional.  The iPhone packager also has the option to choose "iPad" as an output device.

  • Content disappears in landscape mode on ipad

    Hi there,
    I am having trouble with one of my pages disappearing in Safari on the iPad.
    Here is the page:
    http://www.sbceoportal.org/ets/app_files/trucking_ipad.html
    In portrait mode it looks fine, but in landscape mode the only part that remains visible is the header.  Anyone know why this is happening?
    Thanks so much!!!!
    Kristen

    I can't seem to open the link but can only suggest that the page was authored fora variable size (liquid) display and there has been an error/bug in its creation. I don't think that it is a problem with your iPad, more with the page.

  • Music app in landscape mode unusable

    Now that I have an iPhone 6+ I keep my phone in landscape mode on my dash mount in my car. As far as I can tell this renders my music control unusable. Two questions.
    1. is there a simple way to put the music player controls in landscape mode.
    2. if not, what is a good alternative landscape music player?

    The Up arrow should bring up control center.   Like it does in portrait mode. its a basic function of any recent iPhone.
    You should get something like this:
    Its been available since iOS 7.
    If its not working, try resetting your phone by pressing down the home and power/sleep buttons until the apple logo shows up.

  • How to see the iPhone Apps top charts on an iPad?

    How can I view the top charts for the iPhone Apps on my iPad in the AppStore? You were able to do this on iOS 5  by pressing the "Show iPhone Apps" button on the bottom when you scrolled down.  Though ever since iOS 6 I just couldn't find a way/that button.
    Device: IPad Mini
    iOS: 6

    Not possible.
    FYI, the vast majority of those background apps are not open.  More info on iOS multitasking...
