My iPad has locked so the screen doesn't rotate!? How do I un lock it?

when you flipped the switch did the roation icon appear in the middle of the screen for a moment?
one thing you can also try is...
Try doing a hard reboot
1. hold the power and home buttons down
2. you will see the "swipe to turn off" screen come up... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
3. The screen will go black (turn off)... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
4. A white Apple logo will appear on the screen, now you can release the buttons. Let the iDevice boot... should only take a couple minutes.

If you mean physical lines, it is broken. If you mean the display shows lines in the images, it may be...do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. If the lines are still there ake it to an Apple store genius bar to be checked by the techs.

My ipad freezes and the screen won't rotate, how do I fix it?

My ipad screen freezes either horizontally or vertically and I can't ever get it to turn back. Anyone know how to fix this?

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 the screen blacks out or 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.
Also be advised that there is a screen lock function but it's been a disaster since Apple decided to pacify the whiners. Check it out here.

In case you're wondering, here is the history. Originally, the mechanical switch affected only the rotation lock and the mute was a software switch elsewhere. In IOS-3, it was changed to be the mute switch and the rotation lock became a software switch. This was done to ensure consistency among IOS devices. Unfortunately, a large quantity of users complained loudly, alleging that they turned the rotation lock on and off several times every hour and the convenience of the mechanical switch is essential. In IOS-4, Apple bowed to the whiners and made the switch function selectable and now we're stuck with a mess.

Since updating my iPhone 4 my phone is really slow and the screen doesn't rotate to play games. What can I do?

Since updating to the 7.0.3 my screen won't rotate to play games and it takes seconds for my words to show up after typing them. Also facebook lags really bad. What can I do to fix this?

That would depend if you have the potrait orientation lock - on.
If you see a lock icon with an arrow around it on top of the home screen next to your battery then that means you have it enabled.
to disable swipe up from the bottom of the phone (near home button) to access the control center, hit that icon.

Creative Zen ver1.21.01 - Screen doesn't always turn off when in lock m

The screen doesn't always turn off when we lock the player.
It's a random problem, maybe related to some screens only.
When playing songs, if we lock the player, the screen fades out a little bit and will turn off automatically after 2-3 seconds. But in some screens (try the System/Information by example), it always remains in faded-mode, even after more than 5 minutes.
Thanks.

It dit it again yesterday, when my album finished to play (in lock mode), I opened my case and discovered that the screen was still on.
Maybe something in the process of the playing makes the the screen turn on automatically. I usually?use playlists, maybe the screen turns on when the?play stop?
I know that's not a very important issue, but for me it's "buggy"!
I have my player since week and it froze 3-4 time, so yes I had the "chance" to use the wonderfull reset button!

Recent iOS update has made my iPad 2 unusable. The screen locks up. It's very laggy and web pages do not load correctly. Is there a fix for this or are they even working on a fix.

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

My iPod nano has a lock on the screen.How can I unlock and use my nano?

My iPod nano has a lock on the screen. How can I unlock and use my iPod?

Do you know there is the lock/unlock thing on the top or bottom right? If that doesn't work, hold down the middle circle and top portion of the circle button at the same time and hold until the screen goes black. Let go and soon an apple will appear. If you wait / press some buttons (i am not sure exactly how this part works) it will turn white and then the screen will appear again. You have all your music and everything still but the problem should be gone. This also works if your iPod ever freezes.

No. Get it fix by making an appointment with the Apple genius bar.

I dropped my iphone and the screen has blue lines on it. Siri still works but the screen doesn't but the screen isn't cracked or shattered. What should I do?

Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone. You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

When I turn my iPad the screen doesn't turn?

When I turn my iPad the screen doesn't turn- please help?

On the top (near the battery indicator) do you see a little circle with a padlock in the middle? If so, there's a slide switch by the volume toggles. flip that switch and see if it restores the accelerometer

Hi there hhcd92!
I have an article here for you that can help guide you through troubleshooting this situation:

Hey there our3goldens,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your 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 aboutrestoring 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.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
