My ipad screen does not rotate. I tried all things, reseting, even reseting and deleting applications.

My iPad2 does not rotate. I have already tried all the suggestions. reseting, erase all content and settings. I don't know what to do more. Shall I contact support service and ask them to change my iPad?

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, 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, 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 home screen does not rotate but all other screens do. Why?

my home screen does not rotate but all other screens do. why?

II'm not sure what the problem is, but reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10 seconds. See if that fixes it.

HT201412 ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

I have the same issue on my Ipad Air. Screen will not rotate, I have reset the settings, still only displays in the portrait mode. A couple of interesting things though. a couple of days before it completely locked up into portrait I would have to turn the ipad off and hold it in the orientation I wanted because it would not change orientation after I was in an app.
Also, I just played a Netflix video and it was in landscape mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Check to see if Calculator will rotate into landscape mode. Not all apps support rotation.

My iPad screen does not turning

My iPad screen does not turning. What is problem?

Hello Stephencho41,
It sounds like you are unable to turn on your iPad. Although the following article is about the iPhone, the information and troubleshooting is the same for the iPad as well, so I recommend these steps specifically to help you out:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

What have you tried, and what did Apple tell you ?
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 control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a soft-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 iPad screen will not rotate.

IIn settings there is. Check mark by 'lock rotation' . Is thisreverting my screen from rotating? If so, how do I unlock it?

Do you see an icon in the upper right corner of your screen that looks like a small lock with a circular arrow around it? If so that icon is telling you that you have screen rotation locked and the screen will not rotate. To turn this off depends on the version of iOS that is on your iPad. The latest versions of iOS have the Control Center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and look for that icon. Tap on it to turn it off or on.
Your iPad may also have the side switch set to lock rotation. This switch is on the side of the iPad. Toggle the switch and see if the icon for Rotation Lock disappears from your screen.

Ipad2 screen does not rotate

The screen on my ipad2 does not rotate when using any of the applications. I have done a reset, reboot and checked the orientation lock - none of these have made any difference.
I've heard that something can break inside? How can I check if that is the case and therefore get a replacement/refund?
Thanks

1. Make sure the Side Switch is set to Lock Rotation: Settings>General

2. Now check the Side Switch to make sure it's in the unlock position

Ipod touch 3g screen does not rotate after update

after upgrading my iPod Touch 3rd Generation os to ver 5.0.1 I have noticed that the screen will quit rotating. I can do a hard reset and it will rotate but after a very short period of time it quits rotating again.

Try restoring the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Login Window: Screen does not refresh correctly after waking 10.7.2 iMac and MacBook.

I have a client who brought to my attention that when we wakes his iMac and MacBook after the screen dims or sleeps at login screen, that sometimes the screen does not refresh correctly and you must use the cursor to basically "clear the screen." I have witnessed this myself and elimiated all third party products and this still happens. I am starting to believe that is is a bug in 10.7.2. Has anyone witnessed this or have any suggestions on how to remedy? Thank you.

Thanks lynque. It turns out I did need a keychain repair, but that didn't fix the problem. I probably should have done this earlier, but I ended up unplugging all peripherals (2 firewire + 3 USB) then powered up without issue.
So I shut down, plugged in one at a time, and ran into the problem again after plugging in an external hard drive (WD My Book Essential). I repaired with disk utility, but the problem remained.
I then rebuilt the partitions with Disk Warrior, and now everything seems to work....

My home screen does not rotate

Many (but not all) of my screens on my iPhone 4S do not rotate to landscape.

I got my iphone 4S 2 weeks ago and just realized it shoudl be rotating. I've been so captivated by everything elst that it does I guess I didn't need it before now. Today I need it and it is not working. I've gone through the other posts that are similar to this one and all they recomend is to hit home buton twice then swipeing back on app bar until Screen rotations setting; then verify it is not locked. Mine is not locked and the home screen simply will not rotate. Is their a solution somewhere on this issue or is a fix needed from Apple?

My ipad screen does not rotate. I tried all things, reseting, even reseting and deleting applications.
