My iPad (4th gen) is stuck in one orientation. It will change if locked, rotated, and unlocked, but not on the fly. I have tried restarting multiple times.

I have a fourth gen iPad that's a few weeks old. It is stuck in whichever orientation I unlock it in, and will not rotate on the fly.
I've tried restarting multiple times. I've tried toggling the side-switch to screenlock or mute, on/off, with no success. Tried closing all programs. Tried locking via software and unlocking...
Still no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
M

Sounds like a hardware failure. Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. There is no magic that can fix a hardware failure.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

I can connect my Iphone 6 and Ipad Air to my Bose Soundlink but not my IMac. I have tried all the usual solutions but nothing works. It has worked recently but not in the last week. Help

make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
automaticly
then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac

Try and force the iPad Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

My iPad (4th gen) is very sick. No apps will stay open.

I was visiting another house and had to type in their password to conenct to wi-fi. It wouldn't work so I tried it numerous ways and the owner gave me various passwords. My iPad never did connect to the wi-fi (android system at this house btw)
Now, my iPad won't respond. Most of the apps will start to open and then it closes right back down to the icon on the home screen.
When I try to connect to wi-fi, it will show me the network of this house, but the window in which to type the password doesn't come up
I've turned my device off and on a number of times
I've pressed the power and home buttons at the same time.
HELP! What else can I do?

IT is a fairly simple process. The link Jim has is better than the one I was going to suggest.
connect to iTunes on your computer
do a backup and sync
turn off find my iPad under settings, iCloud if you have it on
click the restore link
this may take awhile. It usually goes quickly but took about 45 minutes the other day for my phone
follow the promots as needed
be patient, sometimes it seems like it is frozen but it will continue, that is the hard part for me
you will eventually come to a point where you restore from your backup
after this is all done, hopefully it corrects your problems.
Good luck
Keith

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

HT1212 my ipad is disabled and i do not know the passcode. i am trying to reset the ipad.

My son entered a passcode for his ipad and forgot it. It is diasbled and I am trying to restore it.

The HT1212 article you attached tells you exactly how to proceed.

My iPad will happily AirPlay content from bbc iplayer but not when the chosen programme comes from downloads.I keep getting message"an error occurred loading this content" Any ideas.

Any ideas

I'm seeing the same and I agree, it's very annoying. You can at least get around it in both situations by turning on Mirroring from the Airplay menu (after double-tapping the Home button). Hopefully the iPlayer app will be updated soon to fix this. I'm assuming it's an oversight at the moment.

Bought my iPad 4th gen a few days ago, upgraded straight away to iOS 6.0.1
Whenever I stream video the system crashes and the iPad screen goes black then reboots.
Has happened via YouTube from safari, embedded facebook youtube and also news websites.

Have tried restoring to factory via iTunes with no luck, will just return to place of purchase I think.

My ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area

I had a screen replacement and now the Ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area ( a strip across the middle). We tried 3 different touch screens with digitizer...any ideas?

Since Apple doesn't replace screens, they replace the iPad, I presume you had your screen replaced by an unauthorized service provider or perhaps you replaced it yourself. That voids the warranty and the ability to get assistance from Apple. If someone else replaced your screen take it back to them and demand the correct the problem.
