My iPad won't Change from Portrait to Lanscape!

I got my iPad 2 a couple of days ago and found that the screen would not rotate from the normal portrait to landscape!
I thought that this maybe an issue with iOS 4.3 so I upgraded to iOS 5.1 and thought it would fix the problem, but it didn't.
I have confirmed that the switch is set so that it isn't locking the screen and there are no apps open in the Multitaking bar so there would not be an offending app! I have restarted the device several times and it still doesn't come through!
If anyone could help me with this problem, I would be really greatful!
Thanks
Luke

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. If that doesn't fix it then there might be a problem with the accelerometer in it, in which case you probably need to contact Apple

    I have a lock rotation next ti my battery on my iPad 2 and it won't change from landscape and I tried to reset it but nothing and I tried from lock rotation to mute but nothing and I don't no what to do now. Can u help me plz?

    With Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to 'Lock Rotation' have you then moved the switch on the right-hand side of the iPad above the volume control 'off' ?
    Or with the switch set to control 'notification mute' you should be able to unlock rotation via the far left of 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 being controlled by the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • I installed snow leopard which I now realise that it was the wrong one because it came out before my laptop and now it won't changed from the grey screen with the apple on it how do I fix it ???

    MacBook Pro
    Apple - Support - MacBook Pro
    Mac OS Version builds
    When did yours come out? what does the above show as model and minimum build?
    You should have yoru OEM OS X DVD, not one from another Mac, or retail, though the last retail OS X DVD was a year ago 10.6.3.
    If it installed, I don't see an issue unless the drive had corrupt directory etc.
    What you need to do is repair your boot drive or restore from backup.

  • My 4S wont change from portrait to landscape.

    My 4S wont change from portrait to landscape when I turn it sideways.  This feature worked fine for years until about three weeks ago.  How do I get it to work again?

    IOS7: Screen Orientation (Rotate)
    Swipe UP from the bottom edge of the screen to see the Control Center, tap the top right icon next to the Crescent to lock/unlock screen orientation.

  • My iPad won't swipe from screen to screen; have to click then double click on apps to make them work.

    All of a sudden my iPad is not swiping from page to page. To access any app, you have to click on them and a box appears. Then  you have to double click them to open.
    Can't find anything in Settings that has changed.
    Restart doesn't work. Software up

    Try triple clicking your home button first and see if that behavior disappears and then go into the settings as described above and turn Voice Over off.

  • I have a new ipad with retina display and the orientation change from portrait to landscape is extremely slow? How can I improve the speed?

    Any ideas on how to improve the speed ?

    Hi rodtheprod,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the issue you are describing. If a movie from the iTunes Store supports multiple languages, they can usually be changed as outlined in the following article:
    iTunes: Language settings for video
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5562
    If this is not possible and no changes have been made to the country settings for the iTunes Store, you may want to try redownloading the movie (if it is still available):
    Download past purchases

  • TS3274 I downloaded the new version now my iPad won't move from vertical to horizontal screen.  Help?

    I downloaded new version & now I can't change screen from vertical to horizontal.  Help!

    Try a device reset:
    *Device reset*
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    Also check your side switch settings:

  • Changing from Portrait to Landscape having completed report

    Hi
    Im using 9i to build a report which the customer now wants landscape.
    I have changed the system parameter ORIENTATION and set the header and trailer pages to landscape and 11 by 8.5. Set the main page orientation to Lanscape and width to 11 but the height wont let me change to 8.5. Okay the message is obvious I need to make the items fit on a lanscape page - but how? In the portrait page my report spanned breaks and I set the page protect flags. I presume spacing at increments of 8.5 is just not enough. Any advice?

    Sorted it myself.
    Margin and its items need to change to allow for the size difference - I forgot this.

  • Pages on iPad won't open from Mac

    This never happened until everything was upgraded!
    I have Pages 5.0 on the Mac and my iPad has the very latest IOS and pages update. I have Maverick on the Mac. Indeed, that's when everything seemed to go wrong.
    Yet, when I try and download from Dropbox to my iPad I get the message....
    'Document was created with unsupported application version'
    All I want to do is be able to work on the same pages document on my iPad and at home on the Mac, as I used to do.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I cant even email a new pages document from my Mac? Is that the reason I have a problem?. It tells be the attachment failed when I try to attach the pages do to my gmail.
    Comments much much appreciated.

    Dropbox, GMail and other 3rd party network solutions are having trouble with Pages 5 file format which is a modified .zip package.
    Try via iCloud.

  • My iPad won't download from my other "purchased" devices.

    Good evening.  I used to have an iPad 2 but upgraded to an iPad air.  Evern since I upgraded, I am unable to receive rchases that I made from my iMac or my iPhone.  All of the "AUTO" downloads are on and I am currently signe in under my ame on the iPad.  Any ideas????

    Steps 1-3 are correct and were on.
    I have done many resets and just did another.
    Oh, i also restored my iPad then (painfully) made it "as new" and re-added everything.
    I just did another Reset just for giggles.
    Any other ideas or things you have heard of?  Again thank you.

  • TS3274 ipad won't charge from computer

    My Ipad will sync with Itunes but it won't charge while connected to my computer

    It's not supposed to.  Use the iPad specific 10W wall charger.  Very few USB ports on a computer put out enough power to charge an iPad.
    You might want to read the user guide, which is conveniently bookmarked in Safari on your iPad.
