My kids were using ipad1 and now screen won't rotate. How do I reset this feature?
I have tried to reset screen function. The screen only displays in landscape with the power button/charger plug at left of screen. The screen will not rotate when the device is turned to accomodate portrait or landscape in the other direction. Thank you.
iPad 2 User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)
Orientation lock is covered in the manual
Page 16:
Lock the screen in portrait or landscape orientation: Double-click the Home button to view the Multitasking status bar, then flick from left to right. Tap to lock the screen orientation.
You can also set the Side Switch to lock the screen orientation instead of silencing sound effects and notifications. Go to Settings > General."

My ipad freezes and the screen won't rotate, how do I fix it?
My ipad screen freezes either horizontally or vertically and I can't ever get it to turn back. Anyone know how to fix this?
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
Also be advised that there is a screen lock function but it's been a disaster since Apple decided to pacify the whiners. Check it out here.

In case you're wondering, here is the history. Originally, the mechanical switch affected only the rotation lock and the mute was a software switch elsewhere. In IOS-3, it was changed to be the mute switch and the rotation lock became a software switch. This was done to ensure consistency among IOS devices. Unfortunately, a large quantity of users complained loudly, alleging that they turned the rotation lock on and off several times every hour and the convenience of the mechanical switch is essential. In IOS-4, Apple bowed to the whiners and made the switch function selectable and now we're stuck with a mess. -
I turned my iphone4 off and now it won't restart, how do i fix this?
I turned my iphone4 off because it had no service and it wouldn't get service, so i turned it off and tried to restart it and it will not quit blinking the apple logo homescreen and it won't go away, how do i fix this?
Are you able to do the reset I described while the device is connected to the charger? If so, does it start? What happens then after you remove it from the charger, does the device power off? If so, then you need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar or your Authorized Apple Service Provider and have the hardware checked. It sounds as if the battery is failing.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it? Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

I want to automatically have my pictures copied from my iphone to my computer into "my pictures" into a dated folder. My phone did this at first and now it doesn't. How do I set this up? Thank you.
What does the family WiFi have to do with iCloud? iCloud is on Apple's servers.
If it is a shared computer what you can do is create a new user ID on the computer. Log in with the new ID. This will give you a "clean" iTunes library that you can use for backing up the the old phone and syncing the new phone. -

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos 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? -
i have an iphone 5 , i restored it but now it stuck on the activation and required an icloud id and password to begin, but i dont know about id i purchased it from saudi arabia and now i am in pakistan. how can i activate this iphone 5????
please help!!!!!!!!!Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

i used to have the ption to sent pics from my camera, but now i can't anymore, how can i reactivate this feature again?.
Your phone will need to be unlock in order to send the picture.
i.e. if your using the quick access camera while the phone is lock with the passcode, you will need to unlock the phone first then you can send the pic from your camera roll. -
i have been unable to use my iphone for going on a week. It started by shutting down when ever I'd try to use it. Now it has just a dead black screen. If i plug it in it doesn't charge And the flashing apple continues every 2seconds never charging or turning on. I'm frustrated because I can't even get in to troubleshoot. I bought an iphone cuz I thought it was the best phone at the time. My contract isn't up til Aug. and I'm stuck with a bill and no phone. I do not own a computer but I have an ipad4 which I love. HELP!
Make an appointment at the genius bar are your nearest Apple store. At this point there is nothing you can do without a computer, so if you don't have one and don't know anyone who has one that you can use the Apple store is a good fallback.

I just updated iTunes so I can use airplay and now it won't open
I am trying to use airplay with my apple tv. I updated both this morning and now itunes crashes as soon as it opens. Is anyone else experiencing this?
You could unplug your router than plug it back in. You could turn the iPhone completely off and then back on.
