My iPad wont rotate to landscape also in games I can't rotate to steer like in real racing 2 hd, the gyroscope doesn't work also the side switch doesn't work on my iPad so it can go silent

Can someone please help me, I think it's the hardware because when I quit the game the iPad wouldn't rotate to portrait. I tried restarting it but it doesn't, also tried turning it on and off and that didn't work either so I think it's a hardware defect

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 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

  • After last update the split keyboard option is not working and side switch button option works opposite for mute and rotation lock

    After last update the split keyboard option is not working and side switch button option works opposite for mute and rotation lock.

    Hi
    A long story about your issue... I think the reason of this is why you have deleted some registry keys. If you delete something in the Windows registry you should really know what you do. You can damage the complete Windows system!
    So I think this is the reason why the keyboard doesnt anymore.
    In the user manual I have founded that the CD-ROM booting option is only available with optional optical disk drive.
    So for me it sounds like that your USB CD drive is not compatible to the notebook

  • My ipad (64g wifi 3g) just turned its self off and when i finally got it back on it was just on the apple start up screen with the little thing spinning beneath it. Can an anyone help!!!!!!!!!

    if anyone has ether had this happen to them can u tell me and if you no how to fix it please tell

    Recovery Mode is how to start all over again on your iPad like new. It erases everything, even the operating system, and reloads directly from Apple. Once that is done, if you have performed a backup of your iPad in the past, you will be able to restore all of your configuration settings and preferences after the reload occurs.
    To prepare for a recovery mode restore, have the following ready:
    - Your computer (plugged in to power) ready with iTunes up and running
    - Your iPad synch cable plugged into your computer but NOT your iPad
    - Make sure your iPad is at least at 20% battery, preferably higher
    NOTE: Do NOT touch the iPad once recovery begins. Make sure your computer doesn't suspend, sleep, or shut down while the process is going on.
    Steps:
    - Sitting next to your computer, take your iPad (which should NOT be connected to your PC) and hold down the sleep button (on the top of the iPad) and the home button (front of the iPad) at the same time
    - After about 10-15 seconds, the unit will power off (do not do anything when the "slide to power off" screen appears, just keep holding the buttons)
    - When the iPad turns back on, you will see the silver Apple appear on the screen. Continue holding down the home button but release the sleep button and immediatly plug the iPad into your computer running iTunes
    - You should see a symbol appear on the iPad with a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. iTunes will then say that it detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    - Let iTunes restore the device. It will download a fresh copy of firmware, install it, and verify the SW.
    NOTE: This may take a while. iTunes needs to download about 500MB from the Apple server, then it will start the loader on the iPad, and load the OS.
    - After iTunes said that is successfully restored your device, you may get an error message saying the iPad isn't recognized and you're still at the screen with the USB cable and iTunes logo on the iPad. Don't sweat it. Unplug the iPad from the computer. Power off the iPad by holding the sleep button until you see the "slide to power off" - go ahead and slide to power off. Once it is shut down, push the sleep button again until it powers on.
    - the iPad will come back to the familiar USB cable/iTunes logo. When it does, just plug it back into your computer and iTunes will activate the iPad.
    - if you had previously backed up your iPad, iTunes will tell you there is a backup and ask if you would like it restored. If you wish to do this, accept the prompt. This will also take some time. Note it will NOT put your apps, music, movies, TV shows, etc back on your iPad, just your settings and preferences.
    - once the restore is complete, iTunes should recognize your iPad and you can pick your synching options (apps, music, movies, etc, etc) and have a blast! The only thing I noticed it doesn't retain is the page layouts for your apps, so either screen capture them before you begin, or write it down.
    I hope this helps

    Check to see if Calculator will rotate into landscape mode.  Not all apps support rotation.

  • I'm running iTunes Radio on a WinXP PC with a KVM USB switch. With the latest iTunes update, iTunes Radio will no longer continue to stream when I switch to my work PC via the KVM switch. Can this be fixed?

    I use a WinXP machine as a dedicated Music PC. I also have a separate "newer" PC to do work on. Each machine shares a Monitor, keyboard, and mouse through a KVM USB switch. I like to stream iTunes radio by starting iTunes on a selected station, then 'switch' to my work PC so that the Music PC will stream iTunes like a radio station through my Audio sound system. This used to work fine up until the latest update to iTunes. Now, when the Music PC detects the KVM switching to the other PC (basically a system hardware disconnect detection), iTunes will stop. Can I turn this 'hardward detection' issue off in iTunes?

    Check your  i tunes version on the PC.  you need the most recent version. 
    Other potentials -
    try a different usb port,
    try a different cable.

  • Where can purchase old generation headphones? I have looked on amazon and they all seem to be fake. I don't like the fit of the new ones and ive had the old ones for years

    Need to know where to purchase older generation headphones.

    You can permanently show all menu items and you can always have Windows float like they used to.
    Its just a question of exploring the settings.
    Having said that, a lot of the UI "improvements" are very unpopular and it would have been nice (but apparently technically impossible) to have the possibility to revert to the old interface.

    To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account.  If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

  • Can I rotate pages in adobe reader for iPad.

    Can I rotate pages in Adobe Reader for iPad?

    Normally, the page will rotate when you rotate your iPad.
    If it does not, click the Home button to return to the home screen. Click the Settings app to launch it. In the Settings list on the left, select General. In the list on the right, in the "Use Side Switch to" section, check Lock Rotation. Then check the position of the lock rotation switch on your iPad. It's found just above the volume up/down control. Make sure it's UNLOCKED.

    You should be able to control the function that the side switch isn't controlling via the left-hand end of the taskbar : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 - is the icon that appears there (notification mute or rotation lock) indicating that that function is 'off' ?

    I can not rotate my iPad and I have checked the button on the side. Any ideas

    Double-tap the home button and then swipe it to the right.  Along with music and brightness controls, there will be a button with an arrow in a circle.  If there's a lock in the middle, tap it.
