My iPhone 6 is locked in vertical mode. How do fix this?

I Have a brand new iPhone with current update. I am not able to turn my phone horizontal and have the picture rotate with the phone. I understand this is a setting lock but how do I fix it with this version. I had a 4s model and it had the same issue that I never resolved. Can this be fixed stil?

Hey there Nstengel4,
It sounds like your phone does not go into landscape mode form portrait. From what you describe it seems to me that Rotation Lock might be enabled,  or there could be something else afoot preventing this action. Use the following article to help determine what might be the issue here:
If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Check your settings and test with an app that rotates
Some apps don't rotate. Some might use only portrait or landscape mode, or switch depending on the content. To test screen rotation, open the Calculator app that comes with your device. If the screen doesn't rotate when you rotate the device, try these steps:
Check for  in the status bar. If you see this icon, Orientation Lock is on. To turn it off, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and tap .
If you have an iPhone 6 Plus, turn off Display Zoom to rotate the Home screen.
If you have an iPad with a Side Switch, turn the Side Switch on or off.
Get more help
If you checked your settings and your screen still doesn't rotate when using an app that should (like the Calculator app), follow these steps:
Restart your iOS device.
If the screen still won't rotate, back up and restore your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

    Hello, skifmli
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are unable to sync your iPhone and receive an error.  I was start with restarting iTunes and your computer.  Once this is done, test the results by attempting a sync.  If the issue persists, go through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • Mixed results on iPad and iPhone 6 Plus with background image. How to fix this?

    Flash Professional CC
    I'm having an issue with adding images on iPhone 6 plus and iPad. I'm getting mixed results with two items: 1) a background image and 2) a button that should appear at the bottom left-hand corner on any device. In one case the background image appears enlarged and only shows about 30% of itself. In the other case, the bottom left-hand button appears about 50 pixels to the left when x=0. I also get different results when I set the following:
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    This does not produce the expected results. I would like to have consistent results across iPad and iPhone 6 plus, which seams to be an issue. The immediate fix for this is to leave the images on the stage instead of using addChild. I could then just stretch the background image so that it spans the whole screen. But I want to add the items dynamically for greater flexibility.
    Here are two cases:
    Case #1:
    This an iPhone 6 plus and you should notice 2 things. 1) There is black and white on both sides. The blue background SHOULD APPEAR ACROSS THE WHOLE SCREEN. 2) The red button in the corner SHOULD APPEAR IN THE LEFT MOST CORNER OF THE
    SCREEN.
    Case #2:
    This an iPhone 6 plus and I have set the scale X, Y to the stage.stageWidth/Height:
    mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleX = stage.stageWidth;
    mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleY = stage.stageHeight;
    This results in a close up of the background image.
    Here is the code that I'm using:
    import com.greensock.TweenLite;
    import com.greensock.easing.*;
    import flash.display.StageAlign;
    import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
    //When this is active the background image spans across the device (iPhone 6 plus) correctly. The main logo image does not line up correctly.
    /*stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;*/
    var main_logo:MC_LOGO_MAIN = new MC_LOGO_MAIN();
    var mainBackground_2208: MC_MAIN_BACKGROUND_2208 = new MC_MAIN_BACKGROUND_2208();
    var mainBackground_1024: MC_BACKGROUND_1024 = new MC_BACKGROUND_1024();
    var mainCorner: MC_MAINCORNER = new MC_MAINCORNER();
    var chapters: MC_CHAPTERS = new MC_CHAPTERS();
    var _stageWidth = 1024;
    if (stage.stageWidth > _stageWidth)
        //Add bigger background if the stage is bigger than 1024
        mainBackground_2208.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
        mainBackground_2208.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
        addChild(mainBackground_2208);
        //Using this code results in a very close up view of the stage on iPhone 6 plus  
        /*mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleX = stage.stageWidth;
        mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleY = stage.stageHeight;*/
        //Adds corner to the main screen.
        mainCorner.y = stage.stageHeight;
        mainCorner.x = (stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth);
        addChild(mainCorner);
        TweenLite.from(mainCorner, 1,{ height: 0, width: 0, delay:1, ease:Elastic.easeOut});
        //add logo to sit at 50 pixels from the top of the stage
        /*main_logo.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
        main_logo.y = (stage.stageHeight -stage.stageHeight + main_logo.height *.6);
        addChild(main_logo);
        TweenLite.from(main_logo, 1,{ y: -main_logo.height, ease:Elastic.easeOut});*/
    else
        trace ("The stage is 1024 or smaller");
        //Add 1024 background if stage is 1024 or smaller
        mainBackground_1024.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
        mainBackground_1024.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
        addChild(mainBackground_1024);
        //Adds corner to the main screen.
        mainCorner.y = stage.stageHeight;
        mainCorner.x = (stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth);
        addChild (mainCorner);
        TweenLite.from(mainCorner, 1,{ height: 0, width: 0, delay:1, ease:Elastic.easeOut});
        //adds chapters
        chapters.x = (stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth)+75;
        chapters.y = stage.stageHeight - 120;
        addChild(chapters);
        TweenLite.from(chapters, 1,{ height: 0, delay:.5, ease:Elastic.easeOut});  
        //adds the Main logo to sit at 50 pixels from the top of the stage
        main_logo.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
        main_logo.y = (stage.stageHeight -stage.stageHeight + main_logo.height *.6);
        addChild(main_logo);
        TweenLite.from(main_logo, 1,{ y: -main_logo.height, ease:Elastic.easeOut});

    On all of the devices go to settings - facetime - iphone cellular calls - oFF, this part of Apple continuity.

  • My iphone 4 went into recovery mode for some reason and it is unable to be restored. any ideas how to fix this?

    my iphone went into recovery mode for some reason and is unable to be restored. it wont turn on and when plugged into a charger it shows a usb and itunes symbol. so i plugged it into my mac and connected to itunes then itunes said it has detected a phone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. so it goes through the restoration process for a couple minutes or so then stops and says itunes is unable to restore because an unknown error occurred (2001) or (2006) and other times i try it says its unable to restore because itunes cant detect the device... any ideas how to fix this?

    Errors 2000-2009 (from Apple support): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
    2001: Use up to date software. Make sure your device is in DFU Mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    2006: Use a different USB cable. Possibly the one that came with your iPhone.

    Don't waste your time, as I've already stated, Sprint WILL NOT autrhorize the unlocking of your sim slot.
    You wasted your money. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, otherwise, sell it to someone that can use it on Sprint's network in the US.

    this phone hasnt been backed up in 7 weeks, backups happenn when this iphone isplugged in, locked and connected to wifi, what does this mean

    That means that your backups are done to iCloud overnight.  The phone must be left plugged in and wifi turned on.
    If you are shutting your phone off at night - this is the reason for backups not being done.

    The only thing that needs fixing is your memory. The passcode lock is working exactly as designed.

  • I have an iPad screen that won't swipe.  I cannot connect it to Itunes because it's locked with a pass code which I can't enter because I can't swipe.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I have a 16GM Mini IPad.  The screen won't swipe.  I tried resetting it but that didn't work.  I attempted to connect to ITunes to try a restore but I can't do that.  This is because the IPad is locked with a pass code which I can't enter because I can't swipe.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    If Ralph's suggestion doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    MY iPhone 4 suddenly lost all my appointments on the calendar, suggestions on how to fix this?

    HI, what exactly makes you think it's a Virus?
    Where did you download them from?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
