My iPhone 4S won't change orientation from portrait to landscape even though its portrait orientation is unlocked? I got it two days ago and it has always been this way? Do I need to get a new one or can I fix it?

So it is new (two days old I got it on the 20th of June) and the orientation of the screen will not change from portrait. I have looked at the lock in the multitasking bar and unlocked it and still nothing changes. YouTube, photos, texts, nothing works. Siri has also been blacking out while I use her so do I need a replacement for this defective phone? I got it from RadioShack Thursday. On a totally unrelated note does using your phone while charging it damage the battery? Anyway thanks

Try this
Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
Using the phone while charging doesn't create a problem.. I do it all the time

  • Battery life is 20 minutes...Get a new one or can I fix something?

    Hey Everyone -
    My battery on my 15" MBP is absolutely terrible. What will happen is it will drain quickly (~1%/min) until it gets to around 65% battery life, and then the computer just shuts off altogether. It's unacceptable and its also confusing. Not too long ago, I would get the standard 2 1/2 hours without much of a problem, but then one day, poof, battery life is completely gone.
    I've owned this computer for about 14 months - is this just a case of me needing a new battery/me overusing the battery, or is there any way to salvage this? I find it strange that this piece of hardware would just konk out so suddenly. Do you think Apple would replace it if I went to them? Any suggestions? Thanks everyone.

    There are a couple of things you could try--resetting the SMC and calibrating the battery:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
    What does the System Profiler have to say about your battery? (>About this Mac>More Info>Hardware>Power>Battery Information). Check the Health Information. A battery should retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 cycles. If you have a lot of cycles or it says "Check Battery", the battery has likely gone south.
    Are you under warranty? Do you have fewer than 300 cycles? If so, you may be able to make the case to Apple that your battery is defective, and they may replace it at no charge to you.
    A battery is one of those gray areas where it has to be determined if the battery has failed prematurely due to some defect, or if it has just become worn out from normal usage.
    A sudden failure could be an indication that one of the battery's cells has failed. If so, there is no way to fix it.
    If you have access to an Apple Store, make an appointment at the genius bar to have it evaluated.
    Good luck!

  • I got  iphone5 two days ago and had taken some lovely photos. Tonight i tried to sync my ph to get my old contacts and have ended up with all  my old contacts and apps and have lost my photos from today. I also have lost the iphone5 apps. Can i get back?

    I got the Iphone5 a couple of days ago. Today i tooks some lovely photos and tonight i went through itunes to sync my phone and get my old contacts. In the process i have lost todays photos and the original iphone5 apps. Can i get them  back?

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

    I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

    If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
    Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
    Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

    What kind of iPod are you getting to replace it? If it is an iPod Touch, and you are in the US, after you set up the Touch you can use the iCloud beta and download your previous music, books and app purchases directly to your Touch.

  • HT4528 I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits.

    Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My IPod Shuffle wont charge or turn on...do I need to get a new one?...

    Hi, I recently got a Ipod Shuffle for christmas. It came in a small box, with headphones and a USB cable. I don't know what generation it is, I guess 3rd or 4th, but honestly, I dont know. But I lost it and found it again about a week later. It was turned off. But it won't turn back on. Does it need to charge or do I need a new one? x

    Hey xXFaith_AwesomestXx,
    Thanks for the question. Yes, you’ll definitely want to charge the iPod before troubleshooting this issue. If after charging, it still does not respond, try resetting it:

  • HT3529 Hi, my friend was driving me on a e-bike as he was driving he sleeped and he fell and I checked my I pod touch screen and it was cracked so I was wondering if I can get a new one for free or fix it for free so my friend went to apple and told them

    Hi my friend was on e-bike he was driving he sliped on oil and we fell I checked my I pod touch 4th gen
    Everything works perfectly fine except my iPod touch screen was cracked. Ask one of my friends what to
    Do and he said give to apple they'll give you a brand new one or fix it for free just tell them what happened and where you
    Bought it I bought mine from source . And  one my friends got a new one with out showing receipt or anything
    So I was wondering would this work?

    The warranty is against manufacturing defect.  It is not insurance against accidents.  Apple sells Apple Care + (note the +) which does cover accidents, but it does not cover iPods.
    Out-of-warranty replacement is the most likely outcome.
