Mail and Messages freeze in landscape/portrait mode

When in Messages and Mail, my iPhone 5 freezes in landscape or portrait mode. I can continue to type, edit, etc. but can only get it to rotate after pressing 'Home' button or closing and re-opening app. I am running 8.0.2. I notice it most when taking a break for Mail or Messages and turning phone off and when I turn back on. I'm guessing it is a bug and not a hardware problem because I can always get it to clear by just pressing home or closing app.

Hello there, HoosierZach1979.
Great job in coming up with a good workaround for your issue with Mail and Messages. For issues regarding iOS not functioning as expected, the following Knowledge Base article provides a great and practical list of steps for troubleshooting:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

IOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text. How can I change it in mail and messages?

HI,
iOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text. I know I can't change it in mail and messages, but Apple really needs to allow some customization. This is really difficult to read for older eyes.

yeah I agree with all you guys statements, the color scheme on IOS 7 *****,
I am having to constantly turn on off on off on off "invert color" mode just to switch between
the home screen, typing, and reading text messages, its an absolute pain!!
I never had any of this trouble in IOS 6.
What they SHOULD do, is make 2 different color schemes
one LIGHT color scheme,
and one DARK color scheme, for those using "invert colors" frequently.
See, what Apple doesn't seem to understand is, when you turn on "invert colors",
the lock screen turns bright WHITE, so you have to turn invert colors OFF just to read the lock screen,
then back ON when you want to type an email, read a text message, etc etc, then turn it off again when
you want to play a game.
and see, after awhile, when you switch invert colors on off on off after so many times, it drains on the devices resources, & you have to reboot the device to get accessibility options working again. I have to reboot the device several times a day now just because of that, when its just a simple fix of adding a darker color scheme as a 2nd or alternative option.
I mean, even as a normal sighted person, turning on invert colors is annoying when your at the lock screen or playing a game, think about those of us who depend upon it just to read text on the screen.. VoiceOver has the smilar issues when you have to turn it off on off on all the time it drains the system resources of the phone also,
so I agree completely...
but ya know, they don't listen to us... cuz its an option they don't use, so they don't understand... If they used that option for even 5 seconds, they'd understand what we're talking about.... What Apple should do is hire one of us as a beta tester to help them test out these types of issues, from one of us like myself who knows a thinkg or two about accessibility options of the phone.
I've been an Apple idevice fan for years, but, IOS 7 was a major disappointment in the accessibility arena..
kind regards,
Tom

HT201304 Restrict Mail and Messaging

I was trying to determine how to restrict access to mail and messaging. Boyfriend invades privacy and is jealous of the most innocent conversations. I can't believe this most important privacy issue is overlooked.

Technical solution? For a boyfriend that looks over your shoulder to peek at your passcode and invades your privacy?
It's called a TASER.
Maybe iOS 7 will have a DNA scanner app, or a fingerprint scanner. Until then, there is NO technical solution for your situation, because it's not a technical problem. It's a social/relationship problem.
If he looks over your shoulder while you enable a passcode of any sort, then no passcode or lock or whatever you put on the device will work. Just like if I look over your shoulder when you put in your ATM PIN, and then I take your debit card, I'll get all your money.
You need a social solution, not a technical one.

IPhone DPS landscape & portrait mode

Would it be possible to create a DPS iPhone App that takes advantage of both the landscape and portrait mode?

If you are a pro or enterprise customer and are creating a multi-issue app, yes. We support dual orientation folios on iPhone.
Your mention of "iPhone app" makes me think you are trying to create a single edition DPS app. Note that we do not support Single Edition at all on iPhone.

Camera Video and Photo Playback Stuck in Portrait Mode

When viewing video or photos recorded with my new 4G iPod Touch (within the Camera App) the orientation of the playback is stuck in portrait mode. No matter how I rotate the Touch the orientation of the video or photo playback stays in portrait mode. Wondering how to get the content to rotate to landscape mode for viewing? When using other apps on my Touch, rotating the Touch works fine (ie. the app switches to landscape mode). Have already tried locking and unlocking the Orientation Lock but this has no effect on the Camera App playback. Any assistance would be appreciated.

My wife's 4th gen did this last night. I had to reboot it to get it to act normal again. I saw that happen once before on either my 3rd gen touch or my iPhone 4, but I forget which it was. In that case it needed a reboot as well.

Is there a way to create and edit a video in portrait mode / 9:16 in Premiere Elements 12 or 13. Playback on an iPhone in portrait position.

I'm editing iPhone app video for posting as the first screen in the Apple app store. Required size for the video is 750:1334, 9:16. I there a way to setup the initial video in portrait mode? Many posts for how to rotate a specific clip, but I need the whole video in portrait position. How to accomplish this? I'm using Windows 7 and Premiere Elements 12 and now 13.

Thanks for giving this portrait Edit area monitor shape a look.
I have Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit and have done the work using Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Here is a step by step
Find the DSLR [email protected] file
Local Disk C\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\Settings\SequencePresets\NTSC\DSLR\1080p\
And, in that 1080p Folder is the DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97.sqpreset file that you seek.
1. Copy the
DSLR 1080p30@ 29.9.sqpreset fileI
and paste it to the computer desktop in a newly created folder named 1920p.
2. Open the 1920p Folder and edit the ..sqpreset file in Notepad.
To do that right click the .sqpreset, and, from the pop up, select Open With and then Notepad.
3. In the Notepad document, you are going to edit in only 2 places for now, switching 1920 and 1080 to 1080 and 1920 at the top and bottom
sections of the Notepad document.
Then go specifically File Menu/Save of the Notepad document and hit Save.
4. At this point, you have the edited.sqpreset file in the 1920p Folder on the computer desktop.
(Change the name of the edited .sqpreset file so that it = DSLR [email protected])
Move the 1920p Folder from there to add it to the 1080p Folder, the location where you found the original .sqpreset file that you edited.
Close out of there.
5. Back in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1, manually set the project preset to the new project preset
6. When you import your 1080 x 1920 9:16 video file into the project and drag it into the Timeline, you should see
Note that there is no orange line over that Timeline content, indicating that you are seeing
the best possible preview of the image.
7. As I wrote before,
But, here is the hang up. If I render the Timeline content to get the best possible preview at the Edit level, the video in the Edit area monitor
squeezes in resulting in black borders to the left and right of the video image on screen.
But, otherwise I found I had no problems editing or exporting, just had to keep away from Timeline rendering for previewing after an edit. Need to find the missing ingredient for 100%.
I will be writing this up in my blog in a more organized fashion including how I got the project preset description in Change Settings to agree with the changes. Probably I will do that in the morning.

Can not get mail and messages from old phone to my new phone

can not get my mail and text messages transferred from my old Verizon Droid x2 to my LG Optimus what's the process

lock321, Let's get your information transferred! Text messages do not transfer from device to device unless you have backed the text messages up with an application on your Droid X2. Do you recall backing your text messages up using our Verizon Cloud http://vz.to/1BkRU5Tor another 3rd party app? Emails usually transfer over once you add your email account information into the LG Optimus. http://vz.to/1BkRYCK

Apps like Mail and Safari Freeze initially

So I have Mac Os X Lion. I love it all around. There is just one annoying problem. When I turn my computer on, and Mail starts up, I cannot "click" on anything. The cursor moves, I can move to and click on things in other applications, but Mail and Safari often will not allow me to click. Let me be clearer. Mail is open, new messages download, the App seems to be running fine. But if I want to open a new message, no amount of clicking will open the message. Similarly, when I go to Safari, a page may load but then I cannot click on any links on the page. If I just press Command Q and reopen the program, everything is fine. But it is slightly annoying to have to do this. Any suggestions?

Hi David
I have exactly the same issue with Mail but not Safari on my MacBook Air with Lion. I can't even use Command Q, I have to Force Quit to get Mail responding again.
I have a support call booked for Thursday night so I'll hit you up again with what they tell me.

Macbook Pro trackpad and keyboard freezes after attempting sleep mode

I bought this computer on April 2008. It has the latest OS X 10.5.6 and it did not accept the trackpad firmware. I tried to install and the software said "this computer does not need this update".
This has been happening a lot when I am using Skype while talking to someone with video and sound. The computer tries to go on sleep mode because I am not typing or touching it - it thinks I am away because I am just talking and watching the person on the other side.
I touch the computer to avoid getting on sleep mode and with that it freezes the trackpad and keyboard. I continue to listen and see the other person and they continue to see me and hear me, but I cannot move the "mouse" cursor on the screen or type anything. Neither can I force to quit anything. The only thing that works is to close the computer and open again, that forces the computer to go into sleep mode then I can make it wake up again by opening it and touching any key on the keyboard.
This have been interrupting Skype calls and a study I am conduting. I have to keep touching the computer trackpad to not let it sleep ever. I am concerned is something with the battery or maybe it needs some kind of firmware.
This is very recent, just started happening this week (March 2009). I have not added any new software or any hardware to the machine.
What can I do to make the trackpad and keyboard stop freezing when the computer tries to sleep?

this is in the wrong category. I added a new message to the right category: MacBook Pro but I don't know how to delete it from here.

E72: e-mail and message problem

Hi,
I want to safe up some space on my phone memory so I tried this:
-Menu-messaging-settings-other-change phone memory to memory card.
Now when i try that, for like 2 seconds the phone says "changing message memory in use", then it closes and the menu screen is back open. And when i check back to the setting, the memory use is still on "phone memory"...
-Another thing i did was deleting a lot of e-mails in my hotmail inbox. But when I restarted my phone, they were there again... How do you shorten the amount of emails that are held on the phone?
Thanks in advance,
Thijs

I have no idea about the messages' storage memory, sorry
About your mailbox problem, after you delete emails, you should wait until the next synchronization and do a restart to see if they are there

Mail and messages not working, please someone help

okay so so my iMessage says it's working but when I send a text it just says sending even if the message does send, the sending bar won't go away.. But then some of the messages won't send.. I turned my phone off and back on again, my keyboards got reset and my emails aren't working, they keep disappearing and when I go on to my mail it closes down. I have 90 unread emails, but it keeps erasing and re downloading them again so my phone will randomly start vibrating loads. I don't know what's going on, can anyone help?

need more details, such as, how and when did this start happening.
What do you mean that your "keyboards got reset" ?
Was the phone working OK before ? What changed ?
Just guessing, I would be inclined to have you wait a while and let the phone finish downloading or whatever it's doing, because it sounds like your phone is very busy doing several things at once.
1) double click the bottom button and kill all the running programs by flicking them up and away.
2) Reboot the phone.
3) Make sure you have a good wi-fi connection and the router isn't bogged down with other users.
