My iPad will not rotate. I have the solutions that were on here and none of them work. It is not locked I have checked.

I have searched for a possible reason to why my iPad will not rotate. I found this forum and tried the solutions posted but they did not work. This is not my first apple product, so I am not completely ignorant to this. I searched in the ad it self to see why but apparently no settings were changed. It worked fine, i pluged it in so I can take care of the baby and when I went to pull it off and use it, it would not rotate any more.

That's your problem. You gave priority to the baby! What's wrong with you?
Seriously, despite your comments, I strongly suspect that the issue is an incorrect setting. It's easy to accidentally mess it up if you're new to the iPad.
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.

TS1814 I followed the instructions that were mentioned here and the "automatically detect settings" box was aleady marked with a "V".

What should I do in order to update my software (ipad 2)?
Thanks for your help.

Okay.
On rare occasions I've sseen the error caused by LSP trouble. To check on that, see the following document:

Sounds like the dock port on your iPhone has a problem. It is in warranty so you will need to get it serviced.

One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

I have burned 3 audio cds and none of them work in my computer or car.

I have burned 3 audio cds from my mac and none of them work in my car or computer and the last time I made a cd 3 weeks ago everything worked fine. Help is it the new itunes 10????

What type of disc did you burn? Audio CD, data disc or MP3 disc. To play in the car, it's best to choose audio CD.

I cannot get subtitles on my new smart tv. I've read all the solutions online and none of them work. When I try to airplay the BBC i player by mirroring my iphone 4 the subtitles disappear when I change from iphone to appletv.

I cannot get subtitles on my new smart tv. I've read all the solutions online and none of them work. When I try to airplay the BBC i player by mirroring my iphone 4 the subtitles disappear when I change from iphone to apple tv.

That's because the BBC iPlayer app uses basic AirPlay to show the content, this means the original content is sent to the Apple TV for it to decode rather than mirroring the screen of the iPad where the subtitles are added.

I try to use "internet sharing" with my iphone, ipod, iPad, etc. and none of them work. Any step by step ways to help? Or advice?

I researched various youtube videos, websites, etc. and none of them work. Are other apple products really not compatible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing, and turn it off by unmarking Internet Sharing in the System Preferences sidebar. Then, make sure you are connecting the Mac to the Internet by Ethernet or FireWire, and then, share your Internet connection by Wi-Fi by marking Wi-Fi. Finally, tick Internet Sharing in the sidebar.
In your devices, open Settings > Wi-Fi, and select your MacBook's connection. You can't use Bluetooth to share the connection

My iPhone will do absolutely nothing. It won't charge or start up. I've tried several different chargers and none of them work. I've tried restarting it and everything, but nothing works. Can anyone help?

Sounds like it is time to take it back to Apple and ask them to repair it for you.

My Iphone 4 won't charge. I began noticing it yesterday but I ignored it. Now the phone is dead. I've had it plugged up to my computer all day and it says that it is charging but hasn't cut on yet. I've used many different chargers and none of them work.

If the same when using the included power adaptor, there may be a hardware problem with the battery. Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

HT201270 I have followed the instructions provided in this article but none of them worked. I even tried getting a new sim, still my phone network goes no service most of the time. There is no apple store in Philippines and I feel so helpless.

I live in the Philippines but my iPhone 4S was bought from Korea. There is no Apple store in my place and no one can help me fix my problem with my iPhone. I don't think Apple would replace my phone either despite the fact that it's still under warranty.
My phone would normally go on "No Service" status since I updated to iOS 5.1, so I am not able to make/receive phone calls/messages most of the time. It's really frustrating especially because my iPhone is just 3 months old.
Can anyone help me with my problem?
- I have restored my iPhone's OS and didn't do any back up
- Did reset network, reset all settings, among other resets available in my phone
- Used a new sim card from my network provider
- Used sim card from other network provider (since my phone is factory unlocked)
All the abovementioned didn't work and I'm getting really frustrated.I never had this problem when I was using iPhone 4.
Help me, please.

Sounds like it's hardware issue. The iPhone warranty is based in the original country of purchase. Since it was bought in Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in Korea to be taken in and then they will have to ship it back to you. The cost of shipping will be at your expense.

Have tried all the different methods to clear cache, but none of them work.

I don't know what other information to supply. The above question sums the problem up fully. The cache simply will not clear/empty.

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have followed the instructions under How to clear the cache, as well as those under Clear Recent History. Options - Advanced - Network - Offline Storage - Clear Now. In addition, my settings specify to clear cache upon closing Firefox. Nothing is working at this point (and hasn't for months, although it used to a long time ago).
I don't know about this 'about:cache' thing. That just gets me to a general google search page.
As far as your questions:
I want to clear the cache to get rid of older links (and get fresh links) at the farmtowngifts.com site. So it's not a major problem, as I could simply quit using Firefox when I have exhausted all current links there, and use a different browser. I don't use Firefox for anything else anyway.

HT1202 I get how you can transfer purchases from a device to computer but what about the hundreds of songs on my iPad that were from CDs and non purchased? How can you move them from iPAd to computer if it wants to erase and sync?

I am needing to transfer ALL content, not just purchased, to new computer and it wants to erase and sync because device is associated with another Library. Please help!

What was the source to get that content onto the iPad?
There has to be a middleman to get from CD to iPad - use
backup of that to get content to new computer.

My IPhone 5s camera isn't turning on, the screen is black for every app I use for the camera and none of them work. I've turned my phone off and on again and that didn't work and I also tried resettingy phone. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

IPhone camera isn't working.

if the camera stays black when trying to use it in any application it is likely a hardware issue at that point because the aperture on the camera isn't opening. the only way to is that is by actually having the iPhone repaired through an apple store or through contacting apple support and going through a mail in repair.
if the iPhone is out of warranty though there would be a cost to have it repaired and it may end up being cheaper to take it to a third party to have them repair or replace just the camera.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
