Little lock with a arrow around

I have the latest update and today a little lock with an arrow around it appeared, it means my screen is locked and will not rotate. Problem is I do not know how to turn it back on.
I found an answer under discussions but it doesn’t seem to work now. Anyone know how to fix this?

Portrait lock is in Control Center.
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and turn Portrait lock on or off as desired.

It's Orientation Lock, which will kee the screen from rotating when you rotate the device.
It's accessible from Command Center- swipe up from the bottom of the screen. You should see the icon to turn Orientation Lock on or off.

Screen orientation lock. Double click the home button to bring up the recent app bar. Then finger swipe left-to-right to bring up the iPod controls. The icon on the far left (circle with lock in it) is the orientation lock button - press it, and the lock will go away.

Does anyone know what the little lock with a circle around it for on my phone?

Orientation lock, keeps the screen from rotating. You can turn it on and off by swiping up from any screen.
Actually, not entirely correct. It's the Portrait Orientation lock. It won't lock landscape orientation, as can the iPad Orientation Lock

It means the phone is locked in portrait mode so that means when you want to turn your screen to landscape it won't let you unless you take off the lock
If you want to remove it - PRESS HOME BUTTON TWICE WHICH WILL POP UP MULIT TASKING THNE SWIPE TO THE LEFT AND YOU WILL SEE A GRAYISH SQUARE CLICK ON THAT ONCE AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY

Double click the home button, swipe the dock at the bottom of the screen to the right, tap the circle/lock so it becomes just a circular arrow.

HT4623 what does a lock with a circle around it mean?

what does the icon of a lock with an arrow circled around it mean? it is next to the battery ion in the upper right corner of the screen

There is nothing to fix, but there is something to turn off after it was turned on.

In iTunes 10, I could type "Sinatra" in the search file, and would get a list of all tracks with "Sinatra" in any field.   In iTunes 11 I get these clever little windows, with nice arrows, but no lists to view.   What am I missing?

Thanks for chipping in.   I discovered something after trying what you suggested.   I have quite a few collections of hits by year from Time Life and Billboard. I've eliminated duplicate tracks that appear in both collections (or other CDs for that matter), but cross-reference the CD where I deleted the track and placed in in the comments section of the CD track I retained.   If I "search" by song name, only the remaining track appears.   But if I want to hear for example Classic Rock 1964, only those tracks remaining would be there when I pull up that CD.   So, I type "Classic Rock 1964," in the search field. First the boxes on the right of the screen open up showing album icons. Showing four tracks by album with a button to view 10 more, then four songs with an option to vies 18 more.   I finally noticed that at the top of the boxes is a blue band that reads, :Show Classic Rock 1964 in Music. When I double click on this blue band, all 24 tracks from the original CD appear in the song list format even though I had deleted two of them because they appeard in a Beach Boys CD.   On those tracks, I had referenced Classic Rock 1964 in the comments field.    So, bottom line, Search will also look in the comments field if you click "filter by all" in the magnifying glass to the left of the search field.   And you can move all tracks that if finds into a song list by double clicking on the blue band.

Have a lock with a circle around it couldn't find it in the book

A lock with a circle around it appeared in the right hand corner?

That means that rotation is locked. The screen will not reorient when you turn your iPad.
