My iPhone won't rotate. Is there a setting or is it broke?

My iPhone used to rotate. I'm not sure what happened but it stopped. I've tried turning it off but no luck.

Orientation lock is covered in the manual:

My screen on iPhone won't rotate since latest upgrade

My screen on iPhone won't rotate since latest upgrade

Look in the status bar to see if you have accidently turned on the orientation lock. It would be an icon near the battery icon that looks like a small lock with a circular arrow around it. It will also be in the Control Center, when you swipe upwards from the bottom of the phone screen. Top row of icons, the last one on the right. White is on, black is off.
I've also asked the hosts to move your post to an iPhone forum, so you can get more assistance.

How do I get my phone (iphone 4s to rotate the screen in Safari) it works in the photo app?

I solved the problem! After turning the rotate to unlock you must re-boot the phone. Then when you are in Safari, etc. and turn the phone horizontal the screen rotates from portrat mode.

HT201302 I can't find my iPhone in Explorer. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

I have an iPhone 5 and a Windows 7 PC. I am able to connect to iTunes just fine. However I can not find my iPhone in Explorer. When I plug in a friends iPhone I can find his just fine. Is there a setting on the iPhone that disables this?

I had the same problem with my sister's iphone. Mine would show up but not her's.
Her phone was password protected , so I asked her to unlock her phone and I plugged it back again and it worked right away. Try it if it's password protected !

Events that are in the past do not appear on my calnedar on my iphone. Have I possibly changed a setting that caused them to disappear? Can I get them back on my iphone as they do still appear on my Outlook calendar on my PC?

Iphone won't rotate?

Hi, I'm running an Iphone 5s on IOS 7.1.1. For some reason at random times my phone will stop refusing to rotate, wether its in a game, website, or photo, and its really frustrating. Reseting the lock for rotation doesn't seem to work, and restarting my Iphone seems to be my only option. I haven't seen any recent posts about this issue and was wondering if anyone else had been having the same issues as me.

Symptoms
Display does not rotate when device changes orientation
Restore the device using the latest version of iTunes. Warning: This will delete all user data on the device. Varify that you have a backup before proceeding. Open the Calculator app and rotate device. Does the display rotate properly? (YES: Issue resolved) (NO: Contact Apple for service options)

My iphone won"t open. There is a message on the screen that states that iphone is not backed up. when I click the ok button nothing happens. It was workin until today.

By "open", I think you mean you cannot unlock your iPhone.
If that's true, here's the remedy:

My music synced to my iPhone but it won't play! There is a box on the right of the song title that almost looks like a stop symbol. What can I do to fix this?

This has never happened to me before and I have had my iPhone for a couple years now. Just today I bought a couple albums on my mac through iTunes and they downloaded just fine. I have iCloud so they were automatically transferred to my phone. When I go to listen to the songs I found that they won't play. There is a gray box on the far right next to the song title. It won't play and after a little while it just skips to the next song. The weird thing is some songs did download all the way and work just fine. Please help!!!!

I have heard of some people having a similar problem, which was resolved by a simple restart of their iPhone. If that doesn't help you, you may want to consider de-authorizingyour computer in iTunes, then re-authorizing it and performing a sync to your iPhone again.

You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?
