My accelerometer not working so screen doesn't switch when u turn it round what can I do?

Screen doesn't switch around when I turn my iPad.is it broke?

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, 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 above the volume switch, 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
If there isn't a lock symbol 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.

  • My trackpad is not working good, it doesn't drag the files or folders. What can I do?

    Does anybody have an idea what's going on?

    Are you "pressing" it, or just "tapping" to drag?
    Note that the latter will require you to enable Dragging in Accessibility settings.

    apps not working on my I phone 4 when i turn on wifi they work fine ?

    That leads me to suspect that your cellular data is either turned off or not working.
    Check Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data and ensure it is ON.
    If it is, try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If neither of those resolves the issue, contact the carrier to troubleshoot your network/account issues with them.

    Hi Eileen@@,
    If your screen still hasn't been able to rotate, I would recommend you take a look at the troubleshooting information in this article:
    If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Some apps don't rotate. Some might use only portrait or landscape mode, or switch depending on the content. To test screen rotation, open the Calculator app that comes with your device. If the screen doesn't rotate when you rotate the device, try these steps:
    Check for  in the status bar. If you see this icon, Orientation Lock is on. To turn it off, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and tap .
    If you have an iPhone 6 Plus, turn off Display Zoom to rotate the Home screen.
    If you have an iPad with a Side Switch, turn the Side Switch on or off.
    Get more help
    If you checked your settings and your screen still doesn't rotate when using an app that should (like the Calculator app), follow these steps:
    Restart your iOS device.
    If the screen still won't rotate, back up and restore you
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My Firefox quit working. I threw it in trash and downloaded new version. It will not work. I get message that firefox cannot load tabs. What can I do?

    Firefox has been loading slowly the past week. It hung up today. I closed it and upon reopening it gave error message: "Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page." It screened an option to eliminate one or more tabs the two available were: "Window 1" and "about blank". I could do nothing with either. The other choice was to restore session and that did not work. I trashed the Firefox folder from my Applications folder and downloaded new version of Firefox. When I open it I get the same message. I have rebooted computer and downloaded new Firefox version twice. Can't make it work. I am using a MAC with 10.6.8 OS.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • TS3274 ipad 2 will not charge and home button does not work. batter at 39% so cannot upgrade over wi-fi. What can I do?

    my wife's iPad home button has stopped working, in addition it will not charge either through usb or the wall.
    She uses it to read novels mainly and has not mishandled it.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    I realize that you said that the home button is not working, but try this anyway.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if the battery will show that it is charging after the iPad starts up.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Captivate 8 content not working with screen readers

    My Adobe Captivate 8 published content is not working with any of the screen readers I have tested:  JAWS, Mac Voice Over, and Windows Narrator. It is a simple launch page with 6 buttons used to launch additional CBTs. 
    I have been over and over the content in the help topic for this and cannot find any reason to think I am not doing this right:
    [ ] https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/creating-accessible-projects.html
    I have added accessibility text for the slide, I have tried adding the accessibility text for the buttons,  have turned on accessibility in my publish settings, I have even tried just adding a text caption sitting on the slide with the text I want read by the screenreader - none of it works. 
    I have searched the forums and it appears others have this issue as well.  The latest forum post was having to do with Captivate 7 - where the poster followed up stating Adobe Support recognized this as a "bug".  Does screen reader accessibility work in Captivate 8 or not? 
    Is there anyone out there who has produced content that works with a screen reader?! If so, please tell me what the secret is!!

    I've been able to get a screen reader to read parts of a Captivate 8 presentation using the HTML5 output (but NOT the .swf output). I tested using NVDA.
    However - they keyboard accessibility does not seem to be functioning correctly. I can tab through buttons and such - but hitting enter on any of the buttons (play, forward, backward, closed captions, audio) does not work.
    Overall - doesn't seem that Captivate 8 is as "accessible" as Adobe is claiming. Much of what they claim should work - does not.
    CP8 is certainly no where near WCAG 2.0 "AA" standards (which unfortunately is where i need things to be).

  • Portege M700 - Rotation buton and accelerometer not working

    Running Vista business 32 bit.
    When I put my M700 in tablet mode, and tilt the tablet to 1side and press the button next to the cursor button it used to rotate the screen to that direction.
    it doesnt do this anymore. I
    Also noted that all accelerometer utilities, like tilt, shake, and advanced security do not work anymore. hdd motion detection does work.
    I've reinstalled from recovery discs and installed original and new version from tablet extension and tvap. Nothing seems to help. I've also installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, it doesnt work there either. Ive actually noticed that it also doesnt work in vista because of it not working under Windows 7.
    I'm wondering whether or not my accelerometer is broken or not because it used to work with the original installation discs or is this a software issue?

    same problem here with a m400. 3d viewer isn't available in the hdd protection utility, accelerometer not working and rotation not working too. hdd protection is working. i have swapped hard disks with another m400 (on which these tools are working okay) the result is- they don't do on this m400- if i put the harddisk back it does work again- so this seems to be a hardware problem (at least with mine)-
    to give you a workaround- use the 4-way joystick on the tablet- push for as logn as a second or two and the windows mobile device center will occur here you may easily change display orientation.
