My IPAD 2 is locked in the portrait mode I am unable to unlock it what do I do?
My IPad is locked in the portrait mode. All of the Icons are upside down (at the home buttton). OS is 5.0.1. I can see a half circle with a lock in it.I have tried to double click this loc and nothing happens. Under the Lock Rotation the side switch is set to mute. Multitasking gesutres is on. Anyone have any suggustions?

As there is a lock symbol at the top of the screen then you have rotation lock on, and as the side switch is controlling notification mute, then you should be able to lock/unlock the rotation 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

My iPod is locked in the portrait mode, I have the portrait orientation unlocked, I restore it twice but no help.
I'm surprised that the restore does not fix it, which leads me to think that one of two things is going on:
One, your acceleromter has malfunctioned. The only fix for this that I know of is to take it to a Genius Bar at an Apple Store.
Two, you might not be holding the iPod Touch properly to make orientation work. You have to hold it vertically when you turn it if you want the orientation to change. The iPod should not be parallel to the ground, but perpendicular.
Three, you may misunderstand how to manage the orientation function. When you bring up the running apps tray at the bottom, do you see the lock in the middle of the circular arrow? If you do, the orientation is still locked. tap it to make the lock disappear, and then open an app and see if it changes orientation

I have an iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought in the UK Unlocked. I have just moved to Singaporen and have been told that my iPhone won't accept a sim as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock as apple say they can't do it. Will I have the same problem with my ipad?
Unless you purchased the iPhone direct from Apple in the UK and paid full price either on line or In an Apple Store then it will be locked to a UK Carrier and only that carrier can arrange unlocking
It is unlikely that the iPad is similarly locked as most are sold carrier free unless specifically purchased from a UK carrier as part of a packaged deal involving a subsidy on the price of the iPad ( not very likely but they do exist ) -
Im traveling abroad and while I have refused the IOS7 upgrade my iPad is now lock. The display only reflecting iTunes and the USB cable images. Now I can not access my photos and or my email. Anyway I can reset without connecting to my computer?

No. Not without access to a computer running iTunes. You do want to use your own computer so that you can restore from your backup and sync your own content back from iTunes. -
Hello! The question is this. In London, took the Iphone 5 as sim free, flew to Moscow put Simcoe, and he writes me that is locked to the operator O2. Can anyone encountered this problem? What to do? How to remove the Unlock?
<Edited by Host>Look at your receipt. Does it say unlocked? It is possible to purchase both locked "sim free" and unlocked iPhones from Apple.
ONLY the carrier an iPhone is locked to can legitimately unlock it.
IF your receipt says that it was supposed to be unlocked, and it is not, call AppleCare. They should be able to straighten it out. -
when I try to sync my Ipad into my Itunes on my PC (first time I have done this) , I get the message on my PC "The Ipad cannot be used because the APple Mobile Device service is not started". What do I need to do to get it started? I went into my account and there is no obvious way to get it started.

I probably misclicked when I activated the security lock on the iPhone and now I can not figure out what password I entered. Moreover, I have patches and funky looking phone so I can not restore iphine pres itunes. Please advice.
Your only recourse is to force it into DFU mode:
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings. -
When I plug in my ipad a message says: "this ipad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started"? what do i do?
Hi all,
I am also getting the same message on my iPad, when connecting to a Win7 PC.
I have tried the solutions given at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 but no solution.
I am desperate to get a backup of my iPad. The PC recognises the device but iTunes fails to do so and says -
"this iPad cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".
Please help! -
Hi My ipad 4 cant connect to the appstore its says Fatal Unable to process your request. Please Try again.
I had the same problem last night with my iPad Mini and then this morning on my iPhone. I did contact support this morning and they sent me a form to complete for the engineers. Support did tell me that I don't have to change my password (have done it already twice - frustrating!!).. Last night I was able to get my iPad to work but I had to sync it on my computer, after back up/sync was completed, the item that I was able to purchase on my iPhone yesterday finally was able to download onto my iPad. But wasn't able to get into the itune store online kept receiving the same error.

Is the new TMobile contract free iPhone6 factory unlocked? What I mean is will it work in India or Middle east with a local sim card over there?
Previous T-Mobile versions of iPhones (5, 5s, 5C) bought directly from Apple required no activation with T-mobile at all, and would accept any sim card.
Since you are essentially paying full price for the phone. You cannot be locked to a carrier.
They simply came packaged with a T-Mobile sim you could discard and replace with your own.
There's no real reason to think this will change for the new iPhones.

I bought 2 iPhone's 5S that were "contract-free" and they worked just fine with other carriers.
Could some one from the US check if the "contract-free" iPhone 6 could be used with a local carrier?
When they are released, I'm sure many people will do just that. -

Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

My ipad is the 1st generation and is unable to turn on. what should i do?
heellpp
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. -
