My iPad screen will not rotate in the mail program but works fine in safari and star walk apps, any ideas ?

Has anyone had the same problem and does anyone have a suggested fix.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it rotates when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also do 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.

  • HT6058 my ipad screen will not rotate since latest update

    my ipad scrren will not rotate since latest update, i have done everything i can think of including wha tapple told me

    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.

  • Video Attachments will not play within the mail program.

    When trying to view a video attachment from within the mail program it will not play the video. It loads the sound but not the video. This started after a recent apple software update. It is happening on several computers also so it is not an isolated problem. Seems to be a "quicktime" issue. I can download them and play them through quicktime but not while in "mail" like I used to be able to do.
    I use "Flip-4-Mac" to view some windoze videos (wmv).

    It's a conflict between QuickTime 7.5.5 and Flip4Mac. Not much you can do but wait for the Flip4Mac people to issue an update. See here: http://www.flip4mac.com/knowledge/kb_0079.htm

  • Facetime stopped working on mac. says "failed".  works fine on phone and new mini.  Any ideas.  already went thru all the troubleshooting. added a unique email address to the mac.  just keeps failing. ????

    facetime stopped working on mad.  says "failed".  works fine on phone and new mini.  tried all the troubleshooting, added a unique email to the mac facetime, nothing seems to work.  just keeps saying "facetime failed".  any ideas???

    I Got the same problem. When you change the output to internal speakers again facetime works again in the mac.
    I think it may be some kind of incompatibility with the current driver. I used in the past the old tascam Us-122 and worked well but its driver don't work more for the mountain lion system so i bought this newest one.
    When i used the old one I could use the volume keys on the mac keyboard to control output volume; now with the us-322 when hearing music you can control volume just from the tascam.

  • My IPad screen will not rotate since I downloaded the OS, no matter how I try I can't unlock it so it rotates.

    Is anyone else having trouble with the new OS, I am unable to unlock the do not rotate app in settings?  Also I hate the new OS!

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Data type change made to schema.xml of comments list which is part of blog site template is not reflecting in the existing site but working fine when new site is created.

    Hi,
    I have created a blog site with the available site template few days back. Now we have the requirement of having the attachments in the body of the comments section. 
    So, I updated the schema.xml of the comments list available under ../templates/blog/lists/comments/schema.xml to have rich text for the Body field.
    With this change, I created a new site and it was working fine. Change is reflected in the new blog site.
    However, this particular change is not reflected in the existing blog site. Any changes made to the schema.xml is not effecting the old blog site.
    Can anyone suggest what can be done for the change to be reflected in the old blog site?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards, Keerthi Suryadevara

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add attachments in the body of the comments section.
    You can add the the Code inside the Default list pages. For more information, you can refer to:
    Enable Attachment in SharePoint Blog post list and display the list Attachments
    In addition, you can add an enhanced rich text field to the comment list and remove the body field. Then you can insert files into comments, too.
    Here is a similar thread for your reference:

  • My new IPad Air will not rotate screen

    My new ipad air will not rotate screens.  I am trying the lock or unlock but it makes no difference.

    Check out this link for operation of the side switch:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    Also, pull up Control Center (swipe up from just above the Home button) and check the screen lock there (it should be at the top-left of the Control Center and looks like a padlock with a circular arrow).

  • HT1349 Screen iPad (original) will not rotate. Stays in portrait screen? Have powered off and on.

    iPad original, screen will not rotate. Tried powering off. Stays in portrait screen.

    The side switch is the key.  Depending on your settings, it may affect the mute or it may affect the rotation lock.  This support article from Apple provides detail.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    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.
    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

  • My iPad screen won't rotate. The rotation lock is not on and it is out of warranty. What should I do?

    My iPad screen won't rotate. The rotation lock is not on and it is out of warranty. I downloaded a gyroscope app and it says that I am always at 0 degrees. What should I do?

    Hi,
    There are three things you can do.
    1) Check the function of the side switch - in the Settings app, under General.
    2) Try a reset by holding the on/off and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
    3) If this fails, take it to an Apple Store.
    Hope this helps and Happy Holidays!

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

    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,
