IPhone screen won't flip horizontally for videos

After I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 my screen won't flip horizontally for video clips. It does flip for YouTube but not for music videos.
Please fix!!

This is ridiculous. Half the time it will go horizontally to a song that isn't even playing. The other half of the time it's a tiled screen with album covers. They have the most stupid things that don't work right!

Ipad screen won't flip?...

Just got an ipad used it a couple of times and when I went to use it last the screen won't flip and I must use it sideways only? Did I accidently press a button or change the settings somehow or is it broken? Any advice would be great, thanks!

HI,
Top right side of your iPad there's a switch (screen rotation lock button) just above the volume button. Push it up.

IPad screen won't flip anymore

My iPad won't flip the screen anymore. If I turn it horizontally, it stays vertical unless I turn it off with the top button and turn it back on. It's the same if it's horizontal. It won't flip vertically if I turn it. How do I fix this?

Try flipping the little black switch - the side switch - above the volume rocker on the side of the iPad. If that doesn't work, double tap the home button and the task bar appears. Swipe all the way to the right in the task bar and look all the way on the left and there may be a lock icon there. Tap it to unlock the screen rotation.
You can set the side switch to lock the screen or mute system sounds. Go to Settings>General>Set Sidw Switch to: and select Lock Rotation or Mute System Sounds.

Hi, iPad screen won't flip when in emails-fine all other applications?

Hi, I can't get the screen to flip when I'm in the email programme. All other programmes work fine. iPad only 3 days old- worked fine in email until yesterday.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it rotates when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Screen won't change to horizontal view

all of a sudden my phone screen doesn't change anymore when I turn my phone horizontal, e.g., in mail or safari or to view photos. Any suggestions??

Not yourself. If it's still under warranty/AppleCare, make an appt. with an Apple Store Genius Bar or whoever renders warranty service in your country. If not covered, the out of warranty replacement cost in the US is $199. 3rd party iPhone repair centers may be less expensive - Google to find them.

Screen won't flip (possible issue with accelerometer)

When I turn my ipod, the screen is supposed to flip, however, it does not. Usually restoring fixes it, but now it is only a temporary fix and usually only fixes it for maybe a night. My warranty is expired. I have a 2nd generation 8g ipod touch. Any suggestions.

Screen won't flip

I had to change my iPhone today because the earphone jack was not working. Now i noticed that when in safari, the image will not flip horizontally when I flip the iPhone. Is anyone else having this problem or could this be my phone?

It could be a broken accelerometer. Try resetting the phone - hold down the sleep and home buttons for 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo, and try running Safari again. If that doesnt work, try restoring the phone using iTunes - that will wipe out all your data and get you back to a clean slate. If THAT doesn't work, I would suggest calling tech support.

Texting the screen won't rotate to horizontal

Just upgraded to ios 6 on my 4S. Now while texting the screen stays in vertical mode only. Is there a way to change this in settings?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

My iphone 4s is charged and I can tell that its on but my screen remains black. Are there any tips that can help before taking it in to the apple store?

I've already tried turning it on and off as well as pressing the sleep/wake and home button together to restart but nothing has happened :/
This is also the second time its happened to my phone as well, the first time it miraculously turned on by itself after an hour

Hi katherian!
I have an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Ipad home screen won't automatically adjust to horizontal orientation

what is the solution when ipad home screen won't automatically adjust to horizontal orientation?

iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

My mac won't boot up, just has a white screen with a blinking ? mark, any suggestions?

this usually means the software and hardware can't find each other for whatever reason the following article addresses this issue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
can also do apple hardware test, following article on that:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
if you can't access the apple hardware test in the above article you can also do fsck command to check the hardware as well, following article tells how to do that:

hopefully one of these articles helps w/ resolution!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
