My iPad is stuck in the sideways position and won't rotate when watching a movie

II've reset my iPad twice but every time I go to watch a movie it's permanently stuck in the sideways view. It won't rotate at all and It did before. I've checked my settings and nothing has seemed to change. My side lock button is to mute the iPad so no need to suggest that.

First of all. Are you holding the buttons down until the Apple Logo appears on the screen? If you are, then try putting the iPad into recovery mode and retore again.

On my canon powershot A3300IS the lense is stuck in the extended position and will not close

I have a canon powershot A3300 IS the lense is stuck in the extended position and will not close. How can I fix this myself?

Forneypamela,
Please remove the battery from the camera for a few minutes. Then, put the battery back in the camera and power it on again. If the lens is still stuck in the extended position, the camera is going to need service. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My I-Phone 4 is stuck on the apple icon and won't do anything. Help please

Help, My I-Phone 4 is a little over a year old. I have never dropped it nor does it have water damage. I downloaded the new update IOS 7.4 and the next morning my phone was stuck on the apple icon and won't turn on. It's also showing a low battery after charging it all night. Please does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

LauraAnn41,
Help is our middle name! So let's jump into troubleshooting right away. Have you tried holding the power button and home key simultaneously for up to 30 seconds as an alternate reset? Please give that a shot and let us know how it goes.

My iPad (1) won't rotate when watching Netflix.

My iPad (1) won't rotate when watching Netflix.

Tell it to Netflix.
It's their app, they are responsible for how it works.
I think it makes perfect sense the way it is now-maybe they could add a setting to give the option of turning off the lock.

How do you fix your iPod if it is stuck on the sideways position?

I was cleaning my house with it clipped to my shirt and now it is stuck on the sideways or flipped position, how do I get it to flip back?

take 2 fingers and "rotate" themwhile they are on the display and you will think you are so cool that you can reposition the way the screen looks (or even photos). It is like going from landscape to regular position.

My ipad is stuck on the apple logo and wont return to the home screen. I plugged it into my itunes but I don't know what to do from there. Can someone please help?

Hi, I'm having trouble with my Ipad 2. I was recently playing a game and my ipad just shut off on me. Then when I turned it back on it was stuck on the Apple Logo and it won't go to the home screen at all. I plugged it in my itunes but I don't know what to do from there. I left it charged hoping the apple logo would dissappear but it didn't and now for some reason the battery is always dead. I really need help. Does anybody have any suggestions? Please.

Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.
Reboot 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.

My ipod is stuck on the apple logo and won't connect to itunes

So hey guys, I tried doing everything to fix my unresponsive/frozen ipod touch 4th generation, but nothing seems to work. I remember the last time it worked was when I was restoring it but then I did the thing where you would hold the power and menu button which got me stuck to the apple logo (when it boots up) Now nothing works because I tried resetting and I can't restore because my ipod doesn't seem to be recognized by itunes but yet it charges. My last hope would be either return this or get an answer from one of you guys. Thanks!

- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

Mac Pro gets stuck on the grey screen and won't finish booting

I have a Mac Pro 1, 1 recently (successfully) upgraded to snow leopard that gets stuck on the grey screen with the spinning rainbow cursor (after the apple logo and brief blue screen) and won't finish booting up. This happened after my computer froze up and I had to force quit. I checked out the forums and I tried all the all the suggestions (like disconnecting peripherals) and appropriate disk utilities, saw no errors with the HD reported, and had no trouble doing a safe boot (everything works o.k. there) or starting up from the software disk to perform the repairs. I did notice that during the repair permissions command, it gets stuck in the last few minutes, the CD starts to chug along, and everything freezes and I have to force quit. This happens every time I try it. I eventually backed everything up, erased the HD and reinstalled the OS, reset PRAM and NVRAM, but I'm still getting the grey screen on restart. Tech tool deluxe reports a "fail" on the video RAM, but everything else seems to check out. Could it be a graphics card issue? I did notice some funky visual glitches occurring prior to the breakdown. Any other ideas?

I wouldn't trust Apple Disk Utility to do a hard drive repair, but I would go with TechTool Pro 5/6 if you have that instead of Disk Warrior from Alsoft.
Clone the drive, though you should have some bootable backup clones already; repair the clone; then boot and work from that drive. Always have a working copy of the system.
And off load all your data to other drives.

[Desktop] Remember the size, position and monitor last used when Spotify was closed

I always use Spotify on my smaller secondary monitor, but every time it loads it appears on my primary monitor and is the "default" size, so I need to move it to the other monitor and resize the window on a daily basis. Could Spotify remember the last know position and size it was set to, and automatically load using these settings next time it's opened? Thanks,James

My iPod is stuck on the Apple logo and won't do anything! It won't turn on, doesn't give me the option to power it off, and to top it all off, it's not being recognized by my computer OR by iTunes when I plug it into my computer.

So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!
