My iPad wont change orientation

My iPad suddenly stopped doing this suddenly - I have checked the settings and rebooted.
Anyone know what's happening ?

Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

IPad background changing orientation automatically.

IPad mini retina problem: background changing orientation automatically despite orientation lock. I am using Smart Cover .

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.

IPad retina, change orientation, lack of liquidity

Hi, I have a problem with liquidity orientation by 90 degrees, biznes app, device iPad3 - retina, renderMode is set to gpu. The problem does not occur on the iPad 4 and normal resolution. The problem does not occur when I turn 180 degrees and when I set the CPU renderMode. Unfortunately renderMode set to CPU, causing a significant slowdown navigation views transitions. Tested for AIR 3.5 and AIR 3.6 beta. My settings app.xml:
<renderMode>gpu</renderMode>
<autoOrients>true</autoOrients>
<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
    <visible>true</visible>
    <softKeyboardBehavior>none</softKeyboardBehavior>

IPad stopped changing orientation. Audio/orientation switch is correct. What did I change?

I am learning to use my new iPad. While checking it out, I must have done something to make it stop orienting between portrait and landscape. I know I moved the switch in setup/general/audio but I moved it back. When I move the actual switch on the side of the pad, it indicates sound is on or muted. The orientation will not move in any area I use the iPad. What did I do to make this change and how do I fix it?

Portege M700 wont change screen orientation

I installed the webcam driver for the M700 and each time I install it, I recieve the same error message:
"Webcam driver open fail - Please restart camera or computer."
I've reinstalled the drivers numerous times, and it still doesn't work.
Therefore, I tried the msconfig method, and disabled all start up processes, and then reenabled them.
The webcam displays the same error message, and now the screen wont change orientation when I swivel the screen.

Regarding the error:
*Webcam driver open fail - Please restart camera or computer*
First of all please ensure that you are using the latest BIOS version.
If not, update it.
Furthermore access the BIOS settings and set it back to the default pressing the F9 button.
Dont forget to save the changes if you would leave the BIOS.
Additionally and webcam driver update would be advisable too
Someone has posted this solution:
+Shut down your computer and restart it, go to the boot screen should be F2 or F12, There is an option at the bottom of the screen that says something like load defaults or just defaults F9 on my system, Click yes to reloading defaults and save and exit, the camera should work fine after that.+

Apple wont change my iPad with a bad screen :( Anything I can do?

Today I received an email from apple that says my iPad "meets apple specifications for performance, usability, and functionality" even though it has a giant piece of dust under the screen (not the wallpaper, it's there when the screen is off). I am really upset about this especially considering all I've gone through to get a good one: I first got my iPad from the apple online store at the end of may, and noticed it had dust under the screen which made it look like a dead pixel. I'm in San Angelo and the closest store is in San Antonio, 194 miles away. I'm also on training status on the Air Force (Goodfellow AFB) and getting out of the base is extremely hard. I finally got permission and found somebody to lend me their car last week, and so I headed on the ridiciously long trip. After arriving to the La Cantera Parkway store I went in and they exchanged it for a refurbished one. When I go back to the base I see that it has a giant piece of dust under the screen on the lower right and is scratched on the upper left and on the dock connector. So i just wasted more than $100 on a trip for nothing. I call apple customer service and they say they will send me a box to ship it to them. I receive it and then I get my roommate to do it, because it's basically impossible for me because I can't bring mail to the facility where I am trained, and I can't just go where I want on the weekdays, and the only time I can actually walk around the base, on after duty hours, the post office is closed. Today I received two emails: one that says they received the iPad and another a few minutes ago saying it meets their performance so they wont change it. I can't even talk to customer service because they are closed and I cant in the morning because I have to wake up at 3:50am and cant have my cellphone till 5:00pm, by that time they'll have shipped it. This is really frustating, is there anything I can do? I'm thinking to sell it at a loss since exchanging it is just a giant hassle.

Really sorry to hear about your story .
Have you tried to call them again sometime? Try to express your anger about the issue and force them to find you a solution. I think Apple is nice and they do listen to their customers. You can always request to talk to their supervisor/manager. I am sure they will listen and find you a solution.
I was once succesful at nagging them to exchange my Macbook Pro faulty logic board (which costs about $2000AU) even my waranty is expried (2 years after I bought my MBP). And yes, they did it for me, really nicely.
Good luck and keep us updated,

Hi Gavinchick,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Start with these tips if your iPad mini is stuck on "syncing" when you try to back it up:
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.

Since changing your password have you logged out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logged back in with the new password so as to 'refresh' the account on it ?

Hi there, why doesn't my iPad change orientation when I write an email?

Hi
I have a problem with my iPad 2. It doesn't change orientation when I go into Mail and start writing. I haven't touched the 'lock orientation' button.
Can anybody explain how to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Cee Cee

- First make sure that you don't see the lock icon on the top right corner (it may have been activated by default).
- If other apps keep rotating but just the Mail one doesn't, then you probably need to force quit the Mail app.
Two ways to do that:
- in Mail, press the Sleep/Wake button for 10-15 sec until the shutdown screen appears, then press the home button until the app quits.
- on the homescreen, double press the home button to see the opened apps, the press on the mail app until you see them bouncing with a red circle on the top left of the icon, and press on that sign for the mail app, then press the home button again to go back to normal.
Then, launch mail again and check if it works.

My first gen ipad wont rotate. The side button is on mute, the lock switch is on mute,the task bar at the bottom is not locked and i reset the all setting. still wont rotate.

My first generation Ipad wont rotate. I checked the switch next to the volume, In General "use slideswitch" is on "mute" and the task bar at the bottom the lock "orientation" symbol in not engaged. i have also reset all setting. still wont roate. also games that require movement of the ipad dont work. Any thoughts anyone?

Well then the screen definitely isn't locked.
i wonder of you close all pas in the task bar if that would help. Maybe you have an app that is causing the screen to stay locked. Try that and as if that does any good.
Double tap the home buttons and hold down on any icon until they all wiggle. Then start closing them all by tapping the minus signs. Tap the home button when you are done. Restart the iPad and then try again.

Content Viewer crashing when changing orientation

The magazine I've made seems to be crashing A LOT when I change orientations. This is more noticeable when I go back and fourth between orientation Vertical to Horizontal then imediately back to Vertical. (My client is pissed off).
I've tested this on iPad 1, 2 & 3 and have the same issue on each. I'm using CS6 and my folio is PDF rather than JPG or PNG.
Does anyone else have this problem or can suggest a way to make changing orientation more stable?

I'll give the same advice I just gave someone else. It's possible you've run into a bug, However, first try the two standard troubleshooting tips:
(1) Restore InDesign's preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
(2) If that doesn't work, you might guess the file is corrupted. Save it as an INX file:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526991
Good luck!

Ipad2 does not change orientation. I have not used the switch for lock rotation it is used for mute

Ipad2 does not change orientation. I have not used the switch for lock rotation it is used for mute

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, and as you've got the switch set to notification mute, then have you checked the taskbar (the function that the switch isn't set to is controlled via the taskbar instead) : double-click the home button, slide the taskbar to the right, and it's the icon far left.
If you havn't got the lock symbol at the top 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.
