IPhone will not rotate view

Could somebody please tell me why my iPhone will not automatically change oriantation? I just bought the iphone 3gs yesterday & have tried everything except for a master reboot. Please help

I have no idea what a 'master reboot' is but try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
I tried this already. didn't work

  • IPhone will not rotate

    My iPhone screen will not rotate. I Made sure that it is not locked?  Any ideas? 
    Thank you for your help!

    As I understand it, iPhone does not support rotating to landscape mode for email or text. It does for the browser, but apparently not email and text.
    However, I would not be surprised if that feature is added in future releases.

  • My messenger will not rotate views.  Other apps are ok.

    About a week ago auto rotate function quit working in Messenger.  Still works in other apps.  Anyone else with this problem?

    Hi Gymstone,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I would suggest you quit the Messenger app and then reset your iPhone.
    This does not affect your data.
    The articles below will explain how:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Follow these steps to force an app to close:
    From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
    Tap and hold on the app.
    When it starts to jiggle, tap the red dot with the white minus sign to close it.
    Double-click the Home button and try opening the app again.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    I hope this information helps ....

    Bad design then. The text is way to small to read without rotating to landscape. Hopefully it will be fixed.

    Later phones have a physical rotation lock switch.  Your has a control on a screen that can be accessed by doing the following.
    I hope it works.  I am taking the internet to heart here.....
    Double click menu key and move icons to left and it will expose the rotation lock icon. Just press.

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

  • I've downloaded IOS 7, now my videos in iTunes will not rotate to the landscape wide view. Has anyone had this problem? Is there a fix?

    I've downloaded the lastest iOS 7 update and now my videos from iTunes will not rotate to the landscape wide view. I can view other videos from the news, you-tube, movie trailers, etc in landscape wide view, but it's my music videos from iTunes that won't rotate. What's going on? Is there a fix?

    Hi, you don't have screen rotation locked do you?  If unsure there will be an icon like a padlock near the battery symbol on your phone.

    I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

  • Iphone screen will not rotate

    Help, again. My Iphone 5 screen will not rotate

    Be sure Orientation Lock is disabled. Swipe up from above the Home button to reveal Control Center, then tap on the padlock icon at the far-right corner in the top row so that it's NOT white/light. Only certain Apple apps (like Messages and Safari) will work in landscape mode. Third-party apps depend on the app itself and if the app is setup to work in landscape. The Home screen will not rotate to landscape on the iPhone 5, 5s or 5c despite any settings.

  • My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

    My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

    Hey there Kellee,
    It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Help with Display, it will not rotate/orient to landscape

    I have not dropped my phone or damaged it in any way. I have tried resetting it and still nothing.
    Yesterday night it was able to rotate and orient itself to landscape view just fine. Today, nothing. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this? I am clueless. Google searching does not help.

    Just curious... When you tried rotating the phone, was it lying down on it's back or was it perpendicular to the floor? I noticed with my phone that the display will not rotate if I held it with it's back parallel to the floor but it works perfectly when it is perpendicular to the floor.

    ipad - double tap the home button (the round button with the white square) then drag your finger across the button across the bottom of the screen (left to right) when the quick access bar opens. then u will see a icon on the left hand side that looks like that icon next to the battery. tap on that and it will disable the rotation lock. if it dose not open try the switch on the side of the ipad that is a rotation lock switch in ios 3.x and in ios 4.3 it has the option to be a rotation lock switch.
