New place for screen orientation lock

Apple has changed the screen orientation lock button to a mute button. To lock your screen orientation just double click so your in the multitasking menu slide left and on the far left is the screen orientation lock. If you ask me it is kind of a stupid place and I hop apple switches it back.

Screen orientation lock

I have not screen orientation lock but in this place I'v a volume mute. Whats going on?

I post this quite often for users that lose system sounds but it relates to the screen lock as well. Read this and the link I post at the end.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Screen orientation lock button now volume?

It seems that the switch to lock orientation of the screen no longer does that and instead turns the sound on and off. Do you know how I can switch it back to locking the screen?
Thank you

Screen lock is mentioned on page 12 of the iOS 4.2 manual which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad . There is also more info here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 (which takes into account iOS 4.3)
If you've installed 4.3 on your iPad then there is now an option in +*Settings > General > Use Side Switch to*+ which allows you to chose whether the switch on the side locks rotation or mutes notifications. There doesn't appear to be an iPad 4.3 manual yet, but the new features are listed on this page http://www.apple.com/ios/

Feature request - Accelerometer for screen orientation - Is it possible?

I use a TM2t, and I find that using the external button to rotate the screen is annoying and sluggish on my 1.3ghz system. I tried to change the order in which the screen rotates, but no matter how I change those settings, it still turns the screen clockwise, 90 degrees at a time (sometimes twice even though I pressed the button only once).
My system already has an accelerometer built into the hard drive. Can the operating system read accelerometer data, or is it only available to the hard drive? I'd love it if the tablet could tell which way to orient the screen so I'd only have to press that button once.
Also, it would be possible to add a nifty pseudo-3d background to the Touchsmart user interface That's my two cents

Sorry but no. ARD does not transfer sound, only the screen. I don't know of any screen-sharing solution for a Mac that transfers audio, though it's possible there's something out there that I've not come across yet.

New macpro. Screen is locked guest with sleep/restart at bottom. Can't go anywhere from screen

I am very new to apple products

Brightness Setting + Screen Orientation - Lumia 92...

I don't know how many times this has been asked but these small little features would be very awesome to have.
Option to turn off/dim the capacitive touch navigations (the really hurt my eyes in the dark)
Option to lock the screen orientation
I recently bought my phone 3 days of using it, my previous phone was an iphone 4 and it had these features. Although I really love my Lumia 920, I really wish it had these features

For these two features you can add your vote on the Feature suggestion site.

How do you turn off larger dynamic type on the iphone4 when your screen orientation is locked (vertically)?

So I have the iphone 4 with the latests update ios7.
So I went on settings > general > accessibility > larger type.
And I clicked "on" for "larger dynamic type"
Now my font is so big I can't even see apps that I have and such
I want to turn it "off" but my screen orientation is locked! (I can't move my phone horizontally) I think if I can move my phone horizontally I'll be able to see the on/off button for larger dynamic type.
I tried sliding the bottom upwards to turn off screen lock orientation but it's not on my screen because my font is set to a really big size that the "screen orientation lock button" didn't make it to the screen

Turning on Dynamic type and increasing it shold not have that effect.
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 lock button broke is there anyway i can get a new iphone for free

Is there anyway i can get a new iphone for free my lock button got jammed one day and its annoying dealing with it i haven't had my phone for a year either

Take it in to Apple as only they can decide. If they decide it is a defect covered under the warranty, they will replace it. If they determine it was caused by something you've done or an accident, then you will have to pay for an out of warranty replacement. However, Apple will have to make that call, so take it so they can evaluate it.

How to create a new place in iPhoto 11 without doing any harm?

Yes, I know how to create a new place for a photo -- theoretically:
Select the photo.
Make sure the Info icon in the lower right portion of the iPhoto window is clicked and the too-tiny-for-any-but-the-youngest-eyes map is displaying.
Click in "Assign a Place..." and begin typing a place that iPhoto will search for. It searches in both "your places" (i.e., those that you have already defined) as well as in Google Maps.
When you see a place in the search results list that you think might be close to the one you mean, select it.
A pin appears on the itsy-bitsy map. Move it to the exact place you mean. You can make controls appear on the map by moving the mouse over the bottom of the map. The controls allow you to zoom in and out, and to change views (Terrain, Satellite, Hybrid). When the pin is where you want it, click it. The current name of the location appears. Modify it to the name you want, then click the check mark.
That's "all" there is to it ... except for a couple of "gotchas."
There's a difference between what happens when you select a place that you've defined and when you select a place that Google found in the search results. If it's a place that you've defined, and you then move the pin to a new location and/or change its name, this will affect all photos assigned to the custom place. In effect, you are modifying the place.
All places have a radius associated with them, thereby making them circles. You can adjust the radius only in the Maintain My Places window. In the itsy-bitsy map it doesn't even appear. However, if the newly defined place overlaps existing ones, all the photos assigned to the overlapped places will be assigned to the new one. Their pins will remain where they were.
Now, before anybody suggests sending feedback to Apple, let me emphasize that I have been sending Apple feedback on the wrong-headed implementation of Places since iPhoto 9.0. New versions have come and gone (the current one is 9.1.2), but these "features" have remained. So my purpose in opening this thread is to consolidate work arounds to these "features" in one place. My work around:
Whenever I define a new place, I select only a single photo. I try to name my places so that I can distinguish them from those that Google finds. In order to avoid Gotcha 1 I select a place that Google finds and try to place the pin close enough to where I want it, but far enough from any other places that I've defined. I give it a name that I can easily find it Manage My Place.
I immediately open Manage My Places and select the new place. I first note the pins near it, then decrease its radius, move the pin to the desired location, note the nearby places, and give it its final name.
I then view Places and navigate to the new place to view the photos assigned to it. If I'm lucky, there's only one. Otherwise, I have to reassign the other photos to their correct places.

So... in the hope it will not confuse folks more, let me be more specific of a procedure that works for me...
Procedure to create a new My Places location.
OK there is more you can do with a non-GPS Coord linked photo.
Click Info and then click Assign a Place in the lower right of screen. (if your photo has a location linked to it already the Assign a Place will NOT show up.)
Choose a location name near the actual location that Google Maps can find.
Click that location in the Google Maps list that appears and your photo will be temporarily assigned to that location.
Now type over that location name in order to make sure to give that location a unique name that will show up in your My Places list and click that name after you have typed it to be sure it is accepted.
Now in iPhoto click Window/Manage My Places and go the that newly named location in the large My Places map. There's no easy search. You have to run down through the alphabetical list.
Drag the flag to the location you want this place to be and click Done.
The location name is now in your My Places list at the location you dragged the flag to!
It is important to note that only your unique named locations show up in your Places list, so if you want to modify the location coordinates you have to establish a unique name for it.
This is much more complicated that previous iPhoto versions!
But Yeah!!!!!!!!!!
It really works!!!!!!!

Screen orientation settings

Home is really great, but has a flaw that I'm sure others noticed, too: there's no screen orientation lock, and we're suffering from reverse portrait orientation flu!
The reverse portrait orientation makes us lying-down-in-bed readers unable to browse our links comfortably, and most other apps haven't enabled it by default (a professional Apple-esque approach), while others, who still ignored the mode, also included a screen orientation lock (see MobileRSS for a great example).
Please fix this ASAP!
Thanks!
iOS 4.0, iPod Touch 2nd gen

The solution lies with the Sync team and the software, not the hardware. For instance, that software workaround only applies to iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod touch 3G users, leaving everyone else, myself included, out of the multitasking feature in iOS4.

Numbers Screen Orientation

Just imported a Numbers file from my Mac to Iphone 5S. Cannot view it in Landscape. Screen orientation lock is off in Control Panel and other apps, eg Safari, rotate with the phone. Am I missing something?

I also discovered this unwelcome feature. Whoever made this design decision obviously does not work with spreadsheets. If it's a problem for you, I suggest making a post via feedback to Apple (http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html) requesting that landscape orientation be added to Numbers.

Ipod touch 3g (4.3.3) tilt/ screen orientation not working.

i updated my ipod touch to version 4.3.3, and since then, the landscape orientation has not worked. i favor typing and viewing pictures in landscape, but it doesnt work anymore. i also checked the screen orientation lock to see in i accidently locked it, but i didnt.
if anyone, knows anything on how to fix it, lemme know!! ill be eternally grateful.

What is your other iPod device? If not another iPod touch, then try here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Since iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad) use different drivers than the other iPods.
Otherwise, time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
Reboot and try again.
If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

I have the older generation ipad and the screen orientation is locked. I don't seem to have a switch option under General. Can you help me?

Ipad orientation of screen is locked. I don't seem to have the command for switch on general systems settings.
Any ideas?

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
