My iPhone 4 does not "switch" from portrait to landscape mode in any app. Is there a way to fix this? I'm running 5.0.1

My phone does not toggle between landscape and portrait mode any more. This is, as far as I tested, in any application. Is there any way to fix this?

Hi ckuan,
Thanks a lot for that fast reply. Must have touched that lock button by mistake without noticing.
Stupid me :-D. Btw happy new year!!!!!

    If you swipe up from the bottom of the screen it will bring up the control panel. Check to see if the lock icon with the circular arrow is selected. That will lock the rotation of your screen.
    Just make sure it is deselected

  • My new iphone 5 screen does not rotate from portrait to landscape.  It is stuck in portrait.  I checked and its not locked (double clicked home button scrolled over and the circle arrow does NOT  have lock inside it).

    My screen refuses to rotate (the home screen).  I already double clicked home button and scrolled over, the circle arrow does NOT have the lock inside it.  I went thru all the settings and can find nothing to try and fix this.  Do I need to send the phone back?  Is it broken?  I just got it yesterday.  It has not been damaged in any way.  Please help.

    The home screen doesn't rotate to landscape mode.  Only apps do.
    Good eye Rob, I didn't even catch that.

  • When i look for photos in finder my iphoto library does not appear, but when i open iphoto, all my photos are there, how can i fix this?

    this means i can't attach photos from iphoto to emails for example, how can I remedy it?

    Of course you can, just remember that iphoto replaces the finder. It's the manager for your photos.

  • Font rendering is not always accurate, and bullets are sometimes just pinpoints. Is there a way to fix this?

    for instance, in the website I created, www.menletter.org, the fonts are not the ones I created and the bullets are pinpoints. Seems to do fine in MS IE.

    With all due respect, that isn't a real web page. It's a Word document with html tags, which is only going to be rendered completely in IE and other browsers that play loose with the standards. Right-click that page in Firefox and select View Page Source, everything in green is code that isn't valid and code that Firefox ignores. You need a better "tool" to create web pages that work correctly in all browsers that follow W3C standards.

  • After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

  • When I import video from my iphone to imovie it doesnt look right, it makes everyone look wider and shorter. Is there a way to fix this?

    This is close.  I did a bit more digging I have found a few more things.   It appears that the input dialog is a read once on connect and then it never updates.  I had my iPhone connected to my Mac when I did my convert from FILMiC Pro to my Camera Roll.  Just on a whim, I dissconnected my iPhone with FCPX open and then connected it again.  This time when I opened up the Import window the movie I converted showed up.   It appears my issue may have simply been related to the specific series of operations that I happened to use at the time I was trying to perform an import to FCPX.
    One last item of note.  There is a movie in my Camera Roll that FCPX still does not see.  This was a movie shot by my son-in-law of my grandaughter on his iPhone and then it was sent, via message, to my iPhone.  Obviously it is a highly compressed video of unknown compression and frame rate.   Regardless, FCPX does not see this video.  I'm guessing it is not a .mov quicktime file but some other format specific to imessage video.
    Thanks for the help Russ.  It at least pointed me in the right direction.  I understand why no one else could comment as I'm guessing no one else has had an issue.  A very subtle "feature".

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

    Is there a way to fix this?

    the questions is a little vague
    heres are some scenarios that may have influence this problem
    - internet connection (wifi) may be slow - this sometimes happens when it recognizes another wifi connection that are far to reach, check your network connection to ensure that it is using your home network or wherever close wifi you may be
    - too many applications running at once may also contribute, for example, if your playing music and you just exited from playing games or other applications
    - you may be entering your password by mistake or your username?
    - or sometimes even small factors as low battery could have an impact on your iphone/itouch performance?

  • I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen.  Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

    Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
    When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
    I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
    If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
    I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
    This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
    The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

  • When I put in my earphones to listen to music the sound isn't clear and I have to push and hold them in it in order for it to be. It's not the earphones because I use them in my laptop and they work fine. Is there a way to fix this problem?

    Whenever I put my earphones into my iPod Touch 2g the music isn't clear and I have to push and hold them in order to hear the song normally. It isn't the earphones because I tried another pair, that worked fine, and there was still no difference. I also use the same pair of earphones in my laptop and it sounds great. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to buy a brand new iPod touch? Do I need to clean it or something? And if so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    If still problem that indicates you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Likely not worth it for your old 2G iPod
