(lack of) Landscape mode - Itouch (4.0.2)

Hey,
I installed the latest software for my itouch a few days ago, but one thing I've recently noticed is that I'm unable to get into landscape mode at all. Youtube will force it, but to try and view the albums via their pictures (landscaped) or webpages etc it wont do it if I turn the itouch around.
Did I break something itself, or is this to do with the new OS I installed?
I can't say for sure if that stopped doing landscape before or after I installed the new OS >.<
I've read about the lock thing too, and looked for that, it's not locked at all (to portrait)

Make sure the orientation lock isn't on. Just double-tap the Home button, swipe to the right to see the orientation lock and iPod controls, and tap the circular arrow if it has a lock in it.
From http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf :
Lock the iPod touch screen in portrait orientation (iPod touch 3rd generation):
Double-click the Home button, flick the bottom of the screen from left-to-right, then tap .
The portrait orientation lock icon appears in the status bar when the screen orientation is locked.

- You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and see what they say or call AppleCare
- Just do not press hard. The iPod screen includes an LCD screen

Stuck on landscape mode when playing music - intermittent

Kind of a weird problem here.
Occurs intermittently, but still very very common
When listening to music for about 10 mins or more, and ipod touch 2g is placed in pocket or while lying down, the screen switches to landscape mode and displays the album art. This is normal.
However, about 75% of the time, if I were to turn on and unlock the ipod, the screen is stuck on the landscape mode, and does not rotate back.
This is anoying because i don't have the pause, rewind, ffword buttons, or the music slider. no matter what i do, shake it, reposition it, turn off and on , it will not rotate from the landscape album art.
the only way to fix it is to press HOME, and go back into MUSIC.
while this isn't the end of the world, it certainly doesn't appear to be normal behaviour. I have no problems with any rotation for any other apps. Just music, and only if its been playing for a little while (not long, ~10mins)
Any suggestions? I called apple, and they said to restore it to factory default.
obviously that is a valid suggestion, just wanted to get any input before losing all my data
thanks
Mike

I haven't seen it get stuck, but -- when I'm in landscape mode (I have a speaker that holds the iTouch in the landscape position), is there a way to get to playlists? The only thing that I see is the album covers. Even if I press the home button, and then press music -- it switches to the album covers and I can't select anything except the albums. Please help.

ATT: Add feature to disable Landscape Mode like Nano

Hello, APPLE!
Please ADD an option to enable users to DISABLE LANDSCAPE MODE!
You already have that feature in the Nano so please bring it into the iTouch!!
It's very frustrating having the screen rotate everytime even with a slight rotation of the iTouch!!
Thank you!

IPhone 6 month view in landscape mode??

hello, was wondering if there is a way to view an entire month in landscape mode on the regular iPhone 6 just like we can on the iPad?? Couldn't find it and would love this feature if it doesn't exist. I don't schedule things by the hour. I think the screen is plenty big for this and the month view in horizontal mode is useless since the little dots won't show colors.
Thanks for any info!

I haven't found a way to display the whole month in landscape view on my iPhone 6. May not exist. You can send feedback to Apple about this here:

Keyboard won't react when in landscape mode on SMS?

Hi There.
I updated my 5S to the IOS8.
After that, I had problems when writing an SMS. Sometimes (almost every time) the keyboard doesn’t react to anything when turning to landscape mode. I then have to turn the phone upright, and the down to landscape again. The screen then goes black, and I can press the home-button to see the screen again.
I actually thought this was a bug in IOS8 since it appeared after the update.
Now I bought the IPhone 6. And I set that up with the complete backup from my 5S. I then updated to IOS 8.0.2, and the problem is also on my IP6
I can’t find anyone else with this problem, so what can I do now?
Is the only solution to reset the IP6 to factory default, and install sms, and contacts via iCloud?
But then I have to install all the apps manually?
I have a lot of apps with personal settings, and different mail accounts. I really don’t want to do all this.
Anyone have a solution?
Kind regards.

Same issue here. Just did the download now I'll hit the alpha key on the screen and it does not register. Only happens in landscape mode. Only tried it on imessage and SMS, did not try email yet.
- iPhone 6 w/ 128GB
- Purchased directly from an AT&T Store, in US
- iOS 8.0.2 (12A405)
- Native iOS Keyboard

Problem with rotation and landscape mode in iOS 8

From start of iOS 8 I have got problem with rotation in my iPhone 5S 32GB as well as in my iPad mini retina 32GB. Automatical rotation to landscape mode is not working correctly. For example if you take the phone or tablet to landscape mode in base display and tap to Safari, Mail, Messages, the app will start but stay in normal mode, not landscape. Then you have to back the phone to normal portrait mode and back to landscape and only then the phone do the landscape mode. I have never seen this problem in iOS 7 or older.
Could you help me anyone with this problem? Or is the problem generally in iOS 8.
Thanks a lot
Jakub

Brian, thanks, but it's not a rotation lock issue - at least not relating to the rotation lock setting. It's just a general use setting. Right now i have my iPhone propped in landscape mode. If I now hit the home button, essentially returning to a portrait setting though my phone is still positioned in landscape, then open any other app that supports landscape, that app WILL NOT orient itself to landscape mode. It will stay in portrait mode. The phone has to be physically oriented to portrait, then back to landscape for the app to register landscape mode properly. This is a glitch, and not a rotation lock issue. it ought to be noted that this was not an issue in iOS 7 or any previous iteration.

How to print a report in landscape mode?

Hello everybody,
I have a task where in i need to print a report in LANSCAPE format.
I have tried to print the report output but i could not found an option to set LANDSCAPE mode and also how to change the font size.
Can anybody suggest me the approach?
Helpful answers will surely be rewarded.
Thanks in advance.
Sanghamitra.

Hi
If you are using the command MEW-PAGE PRINT ON
then we can give this layout options
like
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON
DESTINATION <printer name>
immediately 'X'
KEEP IN SPOOL 'X'
LAYOUT 'X_65_132' (OR X_65_255)
RECEIVER SY-UNAME
NO-DISPLAY.
OTHERWISE WHEN YOU SELECT THE PRINTER
IN THE PRINTER PROPERTIES/SETTINGS BASICS-> PAPER
you will have this facility to select LANGSCAPE/PORTRAIT
use that and print
Reward points for useful Answers

CRVS2010 Beta 2 - report does not print in Landscape mode correctly

I am using Crystal Reports Beta 2 for Visual Studio 2010 on Windows XP. I am trying to print a report in landscape mode. The WPF Crystal Report Viewer displays the report correctly in landscape view. When I print it, it moves all the data to the center of the page, prints it in smaller font and to the left and cuts off a lot of the data on the right hand side.
I have tried various different suggested solutions from reading other forums and nothing seems to work. Is this a known Crystal Report Viewer issue?
Solutions I have already tried:
1. Page setup under Crystal Reports - selected no printer (optimize for screen display)
2. Page setup under Crystal Reports - checked dissociate formatting page size and printer paper size
3. Setting paper orientation and page orientation at run-time to landscape.
4. Printing to different printers
Something to note, I can export this report as a .pdf file and it prints perfectly from adobe. This only seems to be an issue when printing directly from the WPF Crystal Report Viewer to the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have been stuck on this issue for a while...
Thanks!

Hi Sharon,
There have been issues with printing and printers in CR 2008 and the same routines are in CR 2010. The patches we have done to help with standard paper sizes in CR 2008 are not in the Beta releases.
Not sure if they will make it into the GA release next month. As a work around I suggest you continue exporting to PDF and then printing the PDF file until they have been resolved and patches are available.
Thank you
Don

Landscape mode not attainable

From FILE -> Page Setup -> I select "Landscape," but the view remains in Portrait mode and I am not able to work in Landscape mode. I found one solution here that says I have to set the width and height for Landscape... any ideas as to WHY landscape isn't working?

Hi Yvan - I am using the latest Appleworks for OS X, 6.2.9. Also, the post you referenced is the one I had already read telling the reader to manually set the width and height for landscape mode. I'm wondering why I can't simply choose "Landscape" and have the view in Appleworks change to Landscape? Landscpe is a standard feature in all page setups for all applications! Seems to me it should work without having to manually set it to a pre-determined width and height. Any suggestions?

I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

Is there a way to hide the bookmarks bar in iOS 8 on the iPad? It takes up a large part of the screen when in landscape mode

Since I upgraded to iOS8, my iPad screen permanently shows the bookmarks bar down the left. This means I can only use about ⅔ of the screen when in landscape mode. Is there something I am missing which allows me to hide/show the bookmarks bar? Thanks

TThank you so much! I felt it must be something straightforward.

You need to write HTML and JavaScript code for this, the code will display a print dialog box, from print dialog box you need to select the landscape and click on print.

How can I prevent the softKeyboard from going full screen in landscape mode on mobile app?

When I put an Input TextField on stage in an ActionScript Mobile project and click on it, the softkeyboard comes up but behaves differently when in portrait or in landscape. In portrait, the softkeyboard comes up and allows me to edit my field without hiding. In Landscape, the softkeyboard goes into fullscreen mode and I can no longer see my app in the background. I would like for Landscape mode to bring up the softkeyboard but not overlay my app with a text area. Is there a way to configure this?

My app runs in landscape and I hated the default Android behavior so I used a heavily customized virtual keyboard instead. It's a bit slow but it works:

You can call setStatusBarOrientation on the UIApplication class and then set your landscape view.
