IPod won't go in landscape view

Hi. I have an old 3rd generation iPod Touch that's going on 2 years and has definitely been loved. It now seems however that it can't go into landscape view when turned over. When certain apps or videos play, it works fine, but when I try to go into cover album scroll or something it doesn't work. Suggestions?

Hello,
Is there a lock icon in the top right corner? That would indicate your problem.
Just the same, try double tapping the home button, and slide to the right once.
There should be a lock and arrow icon, that will lock or unlock your orientation.
That should be the answer to your problem.

Try switching it back from landscape to vertical. Or, go to settings and see if you have any special setting turned on that enable only landscape view. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and charging it to see what happens.

My Iphone5 won't switch to landscape view when I turn my phone to the side...what am I missing and how do I make this happen

My Iphone 5 won't turn to landscape view when I turn it to the side...what am I missing and how do I make this happen...it used to happen automatically...I thought.

I had the same problem but it wasn't because the orientation was locked .
Mine was some kind of glitch that was resolved by holding down the home key and the button on top until the white Apple appeared on the screen .

IPad won't switch to landscape view

I updated my software on my iPad and now it won't switch to landscape view and it is not locked. I have restarted it and cleared my memory and checked every setting that I can think of. What now?

By restart do you mean a reset ? If there isn't a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Is there is a lock symbol then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

HI,
Try resetting your iPhone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears restore the iPhone software.
Check to see if you have this app installed. http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/2009/03/22/rotation-inhibitor-turn-off-auto-rot ating-feature/

IPhone 4 won't switch to landscape view

Just got this phone a couple months ago, working OK until yesterday when it won't turn to view keypad in landscape mode...only portrait.
Any suggestions?
Thanks...

Let's get this resolved KRetz! Once you press your menu button twice quickly you will see your recently used applications at the bottom of the screen. Drag the screen to the right and look for the the Portrait Orientation Symbol and ensure the lock icon is not preset. You can remove the lock icon by tapping the Orientation Symbol. Please follow the visuals here http://vz.to/10KT4VI Thank you.

4s with ios7 landscape pictures won't save in landscape view

When taking a picture in landscspe view the picture keeps being saved in portrait view. Is the a setting I am missing?

Do you have portrait orientation lock engaged (small lock icon with circular arrow surrounding, next to battery icon at top of screen)?

Ipod touch won't go to landscape format, help?

I use to have it locked in the locked portait position for a year and now that I have turned the lock off, it won't turn to landscape.
Will I have to restore it? Should I restore it from backup or restore Ipod?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

What has apple done?
Apple has added a landscape lock button. Uncheck it and all will be right in the world. Cats and dogs shall live in peace. It will rain Skittles, Princesses will ride unicorns. Network TV will cut down the number of ads per hour...
Double click the home button and swipe to reveal the iPod controls. See the one with the rotation icon? tap it to free your spin.
A phone is a silly thing to die for. Just sayin'.

Why does my iPod not change to Landscape view

My iPod Touch will not display in the landscape mode in most applications. When displaying photos it will switch to the Landscape mode, but will not in Calendar, Notes, and other apps. Is there a setting I have set improperly?

What are these other apps? Because for some applications, landscape view is not possible, like calender.

iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Manage"
4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
+Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
7. Close "Computer Management"
8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
9. Reconnect your iPod.
Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

Ipod won't sync certain songs after update to 5.1.1

I updated my ipod touch to version 5.1.1. This included the addition of icloud to my system. Since I have updated it, my ipod won't add certain songs from my itunes. It's really weird how it just randomly selected songs to download. I have songs in itunes that I purchased, as well as songs I imported from CD's. Every song shows up on my ipod song list, however most are "gray" and won't allow me to select them to play. (like they are not downloaded or something). I have retored my ipod three times to see if that will allow all the songs to play on my ipod and it won't work. Everytime I try to sync my ipod the fist song that tries to sync says "The file wasn't synced to the ipod because it cannot be read or written"......I have tried removing multiple songs and still get this message for every song. I did figure out that you can open the itunes store through the ipod and select "purchased". You can then view songs that "aren't on the ipod" and manually download each individual song to the ipod, however, not only is this a pain in the *** and going to take forever since I have 1000+ songs and tv shows, but this still won't get all my own music added from CD's to my ipod. HELP! Any tips or solutions!! ( Also, I am a Mac user if that makes a difference)

After over TWO HOURS on the phone with apple support I still had no solution. There were several songs that would freeze up my itunes, then I got the message "blah blah song" couldn't be transfered to the ipod because the file was unable to be read or written. The tech and I came up with the solution to just delete every song that came up on. In the end, I had to individually add EVERY SINGLE SONG to my ipod one at a time. If an error popped up I just deleted that song and made a note of it. I had no issues with the songs I imported from CD's, only the songs purchased off itunes. The tech never could figure out why. We rebooted, wiped clean, reset, anything...you name it we tried. We even moved everything to another computer to see if it was a computer issue, then we wiped my husband's ipod touch to see if it was a hardware issue on my ipod. NOTHING. This finally worked even though it took all day. Everything seems okay now, we will see the next time I add songs. I did lose ALL my photos and videos taken with the ipod. :/ That really ***** because I have a 1 year old who's entire first year was on that stupid thing. What a waste of a day.

In ios 7 I can't see my old playlist of videoclip in landscape view. Anybody know how can I set it?

In ios 7 I can't see my old playlist of videoclip in landscape view. Anybody know how can I set it?

Hello everyone,
I faced this same issue, but not from updating to iOS 7.
In my case all my music playlists disappeared. In another post I found a process which got them back, but after I'd done so I noticed that my Apps list and my books list were both empty, even though I'd bought plenty of books & apps. The following trick I discovered restored both of these lists.
1. Within iTunes, select the Apps tab within the library, to show the (empty) window of all your apps.
2. Now in a finder window, open your iTunes folder. On my computer this is in my Music folder.
3. Within the iTunes folder, locate and drag the "Mobile Applications" folder into the apps window.
Presto!!
The same thing worked for finding the missing books, except that the books folder is stored one level deeper, within the iTunes Music folder, and of course I dragged it into the books window.
I don't know if it matters, but I'm still running OSX 10.6.8 because I have use some legacy OSX apps that won't run in anything more recent, but my iTunes version is 11.1.4.
I hope this helps a few people...
