My iPad screen is stuck in one position, does not rotate.

My iPad 3 screen does not rotate when I rotate my iPad.  It is locked in one position, upside down.

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 lock screen picture is zoomed in. When I try to change it, I can't scale it, or try to zoom out to a position I like. It is permanently stuck in one position. I asked a friend that had ios7 and he can't relate, and has never seen it before

    To back to the normal scale you have to disable the parallax.
    Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion (turn off)
    You won't be able to put the wallpepr out of frame as ios 6 (earlier), but it stop to putting the annoying zoom.

  • My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message telling me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message?

    My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message that is informing me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message.

    I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6.  I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes.  All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
    Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved.

  • My ipad screen is stuck

    My iPad screen is stuck. I haven't had the iPad very long. Is this common and how do I fix it? Is there a reset button?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. Place the iPad in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - If you can't turn the iPod fully off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an your repeat the above.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • My ipad screen won't turn one way when I turn/bump my ipad (will do one side but not the other)

    My ipad screen won’t turn one way when I turn/bump my ipad (will do one side but not the other)

    Yes there is a rotation lock setting.
    First try the switch above the volume rocker. If that doesnt work then double click the home button. It should display a multitasking bar at the bottom of the screen. Slide that to the right and it should display a few settings including screen lock. Make sure that it is unchecked.

    My Ipad screen is stuck on vertical since I downloaded and installed iOS5.  I want to use it on horizontal for reading 2 pages at a time.  I've toggled back and forth on the lock screen switch, but it still goes to vertical.  Ugh.  Please help!

    To do so: Hold the home button and the sleep button at the same time (ignore slider) until the apple logo appears.

    Hello llp03,
    Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating. The following troubleshooting assistant provides steps that may lead to a resolution:
    Apple - Support - iPad - iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/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 about restoring iOS software.
    - If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode.

  • 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 ?

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

    ipad screen is locked.  slide function will not work but screen does rotate...

    Try 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
