Orientation problems

Hello!
I use iPhone 5s since febrary 2014. Since I've updated to IOS 8 at september I'm having problems with orientation in all my applications. In Camera app screen is rotated 180*, and then, when I trying to view recent photos, they are rotated, so I cant normally view my photos. So there're same problems in messages, browser and etc.
I did restore twice: at september and recently (now I use ios 8.1.2). Both times for some time (few hours) all works fine, but then problem returns. What can I do? Is someone experienced same problem?
Sorry for my poor English. Thanks in advance.

There are several threads on this subject here, and it is an Apple bug that is waiting for a fix. Some users have worked around the problem by using the CUPS interface (http://127.0.0.1:631/).

Printing orientation problems cs5

I have a page setup in cs5 as a3 landscape but no matter what i do it always prints out in a rotated view on a3 paper and twists the image so it's cut off. I've tried everything.... gone through every print dialog option in cs4 and cs5 and compared and everything is the same. At present i'm having to make pdfs and print with that so it's a bit time intensive... any ideas out there?

Hi!
Same orientation problem.
But I´m on MacOSX 10.6, InDesign CS5 and the printer is a Xerox DC240/250 with Fiery RIP.
We have got 3 different computers (one of them is on 10.5 with CS5), all have the same problem when printing from InDesign CS5.
Yes, it works to print a PDF, but this is not very effective because we print lots of work with the customer sitting in, and there is oftenly numerous of InDesign files to print at the time. Even if InDesign CS5 has become a monster app when it comes to generate PDFs quick, it´s an extra step then the customer is used to.
I´ve gone through all the steps in this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/499/cpsid_49998.html when it comes to try different apps, restarting, change prefs, and so on. Also tried from all the computers with different accounts.
When you create a portrait A5 or A4 there is no problem what so ever. But if it´s landscape the printer outputs the artwork rotated 90° as if the paper where in the other direction.
The same thing also occurs when generating a PS-file.
Note that CS4 outputs the file correct, with the same driver to the same printer, from the same setup. This would prove that the problem is not with the PPD-file, rather the InDesign CS5. We also tried to output from Photoshop CS5 with the same driver, this works flawlessly.
(Sorry for my bad english, not my main language)
Please, I would be grateful for any input in this case.
Best regards

Messages app: Orientation problems

I have a new iPhone 6+ 128Gb and have been using it for a week.
I never restore from backup with a new phone so I upgraded iOS, reseted it to factory defaults and started from scratch. After installing all my apps again and setting the phone up I have noticed that the Messages app has an orientation problem. It just happens when using the NEW MESSAGE button:
1. Hold your iPhone in portrait orientation and open the Messages app. Be sure to check that the orientation lock is not enabled on control center.
2. Tap the NEW MESSAGE button
3. When the new message screen shows rotate the iPhone to landscape mode.
The iPhone does not rotate the screen. The screen continues locked on portrait.
This DOES NOT happen when I am answering to an already started Messages conversation. In this case the iPhone behaves as expected and the screen rotates normally.
This DOES NOT happen when using other apps.
This DOES NOT happen on other iOS 8 devices I have (iPhone 5, iPad 2).
The problem has been confirmed by other users on the macrumors forum. The thread can be found here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20741302
I have already reported the bug to Apple. I encourage everybody that is having this issue to report it to Apple using these forms:

HI,
As far as we can tell this issue is related to problems at the server end.
It does not seem to be all server though with the Mac version of Messages running behind iOS devices.
If someone is in a conversation using an iPhone and then gets home and turns On a Mac then the sync process start in Messages (if opened)
This plays out like a speeded up chat.
If the contact is still sending messages then these get sent in real time and appear on the Mac as they occur and the Messages being synced do not move above the "new" message. (they get all mixed app)
There seems to be no way to get the iMessage server to "Instantly" sync the older iMessages.
After that is seems that random Messages will miss getting to one device if you have say an iPhone and iPad (or iPod Touch) but can then turn up days later. There seems to be no identifiable cause for this.
So far I have seen one thread that reports that Messages over 100 characters have been known to lose the last word or two from the iMessage when it is delivered.

IPad Mini retina screen orientation problem still not solved?!

I have also been having the screen orientation problem on my iPad Mini retina. I cannot find out what the problem is or how to solve it. The switch does not help it and neither does changing the settings. Nor does rebooting. Also, the volume on the retina is definitely lower than the ordinal iPad Mini. If I had known this I would've kept the original. I am on IOS 7.1.2.

If you have Reset it, Restored it from Backup and Restored it as new and none of these helped then you will need to get it serviced.

Data modeling dilemma for EAV oriented problems in Data Modeler

Hello,
Dealing with EAV( entity attribute value model ) oriented structure of data.
So this look like this:
Entity( Entity_Id number , Entity_Name varchar2, Entity_Desc varchar2 )
Entity that list attributes and some meta data on characteristics of attributes:
Type_Of_Attribute( Attr_Id varchar2, Type_Of_Value TOV_Domain, Unit_Of_Value varchar2 , Min_Value variant_type , Max_Value variant_Type )
Then we have actual data. Entity is described with set of attributes and their values. So aditionally to attributes on row form in Entity there are aditional attrbutes in columnar form.
Because of sparsity...
However there in columnar form the challenge or issue is type of values so domains of attributes.
For example:
weight_of_ person is number between min_number and max_number.
But another parameter for example mood_of_person is string from the domain which consists of set of strings/descpriptions.
Another possibility could be reference to some table of values ( key value ) that could be modelled as one:many relationship if put in entity Entity on row form of attributes.
But since this is attribute relate only to few intances or it is very dispersed....and for preserving table form..it was put in columnar form ..
Attribute_Of_Entity( Entity_Id, Attr_Id, value,
-- when not normalized, could be add also unit like kg or lbs or inch or piece ).
My question is on good/succesfull practice of modelling for VALUE in attribute_of_entity?
Somewhere read that some databases have feature of so-called variant type.
Guess the objective is to modell in such a way that implementation of this model is as easy as possbile in
issues like:
a) validating column oriented form during entering or updating values
b) consolidating queries when reporting
c) agregating data when grouping when grouping data and preventing non-comparable data.
So to implement value as structure/complex_type with methods or there is any other feature supporting variabilty of the data along same column in the table. So logical design that would not cause too much complexity in the relational design and table implementation and procedures are handled as much as possible on the database level?
Thank you in advance for comments, experiences, suggestions,

PDF From Excel File Page Orientation Problem

Hi and thank you for your time to read about this problem!
I have a workbook in Excel 2003 that has multiple worksheets that I am Itrying to convert to PDF for distribution. One worksheet in the workbook is set to 11x17 Landscape--all the other worksheets are Letter size and portrait. All pages have the same margin settings. I am running Acrobat 8 Professional.
I have tried Excel's Send to Recipient as PDF, as well as the "Convert to PDF" option on the PDF menu in Excel. In both cases the PDF file is converted perfectly when viewed on screen. All page sizes and page orientations are correct when viewed on-screen.
The problem occurs when the PDF file is printed. No matter what the file looks like on screen the first page that prints out is landscape instead of portrait. All of the following pages print fine. Even if I skip page 1 and print pages 2-7, the first page out of the printer has the wrong page orientation.
If we ran into this problem consistently across our PDF files I would say it's a printer issue, but I haven't seen this behavior before. I make PDF's from pretty much all of the Microsoft and Adobe products and this is the first time I've ever seen this happen.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

The machine I'm running it on is NTFS...
Have found the problem though and it's got nothing to do with Acrobat!
Basically the 80th sheet in the workbook had its Print Quality setting set to something different (higher resolution in this case) from the other sheets. I guess Acrobat saw that and realised it would have to create a new pdf with higher quality settings and so split the file in two when it hit that sheet. I assume a similar thing would happen if you changed the paper size half way through too.
Anyway, problem solved. Hopefully this post will help someone who's equally confused in the future!
Many thanks,
Ben.

IPhone to image capture picture orientation problem.

I am having a problem with my iPhone 3G (2.2.1) and pictures. I've seen several other topics about this but none of them address or fix the problem for me (since most of them are from people using other applications like Picasa or iPhoto). Opening up every picture in an image editor and rotating it before syncing back to my iphone is NOT a solution. It's a bandaid.
Here is the problem.
Take a picture with iPhone. Connect to Mac. Image Capture app launches and I "Download All" to Pictures folder in Home folder. Images are deleted from the iPhone and moved into the Pictures folder. Opening an image from the Pictures folder opens them in the correct orientation in Preview.
iTunes is set to import all pictures from the Pictures folder. Sync iPhone. Images are uploaded to the photo library and all of them are rotated 90 degrees CCW. Turning the phone causes the images to rotate automatically to retain "correct orientation" which is still wrong.
Uploading an image from the phone (to Facebook for example) from the Photo Library results in a rotated image on the server.
None of the suggestions I've seen so far are a "solution". I don't want to open every image I take in iPhoto and rotate it before I sync it back to my Photo Library.
My question is how do I fix this, or prevent it from happening? Alternatively, is this a recognized bug that Apple intends to fix?

This is a useful method to minimize the problem, but it is still not a solution. It is unacceptable that I should have to resort to an extra step using a third party application to get my pictures onto my device, especially considering this problem didn't previously exist.
I am using all Apple tools (iPhone, iMac, image capture, iTunes) because I want to maintain the integrity of the process.
I know this problem is related to EXIF information in the image resulting in an unwanted rotation. IF I open an image in another program, I can clearly see that the image dimensions are listed at 1200x1600 (portrait). Either image capture or iTunes is modifying or removing these values before the image is optimized and added to the Photo Library on the phone, resulting in an orientation mismatch.
I guess I'm going to have to call Apple.

Picture Orientation problem with Konica Minolta Dynax 7D in iPhoto'08

Hello,
as far as I know the Dynax 7D has a bug concerning saving the picture orientation correctly in the EXIF tags. OK, that is definitly no Apple issue. But if I want to import pictures from the camera, in +the preview+ of the iPhoto import the portrait pictures are displayed in +correct orientation+. If I do the import, afterwards the portrait pictures are +in landscape mode again+, so I have to turn them manually. So the software is able to cope with portrait pictures, but chooses not to apply this...
This is the point I would like to have fixed or at least to have a automatic workaround. Any suggestions are welcome. Did anybody solved that problem already?
Will there be a fix for that behaviour in iPhoto'08?
Best wishes

Create a new test library and import a few of the problem files into it to see if they will display properly. If they do then it's a problem with the current library. If they don't then you'll need to see if it's system wide or limited to your account. To do that log into another account, create a test library and try there. If you don't have a second account it's a good thing to have because it's a great troubleshooting tool. Just create a non-admin test account.
If it works in the second account your primary account is causing it. It could be some other preference file other than iPhoto's that is the culprit. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
If the problem persists in both accounts a reinstall of iPhoto may be warranted. If it gets to that point you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder before you install iPhoto from the disk it came on.

Screenshot orientation problems!

When I take a screenshot of whatever using the power button and the home button in landscape orientation, the photo is saved in portrait orientation in photos. Why? This is not how I took the screenshot. I have 10 apple idevices and 3 of them do this while the others work fine. I do not want to use an app to fix this problem. It should work correctly by itself. Please help!

Nogoodsupport-
Something funny is going on. I just tried landscape screen shots of the initial screen, the Home screen, iBooks, GoodReader, Notes and a Safari web page. Some I had to expand to get them to fill the screen in landscape mode. They always appeared as landscape orientation in the Photos App.
I'm using an iPad 2 (WiFi only), iOS 5.0.1, 64GB.

CS4 Print Orientation Problem

Hello-
I just upgraded to InDesign CS4, and I'm having an issue with the print orientation. I'm running MAC OSX 10.4.11.
When printing from all previous versions of InDesign, the top paper edge in the print dialog box "layout preview" (lower left of box) would always be our "gripper edge" when sending plates. So, when I'd plate a job, anything portrait would print as is, and anything landscape would print 90-degrees clockwise (so the left gripper edge would then be at the top).
Now, when I print in CS4, anything portrait is fine, but landscape jobs seem to want to be rotated 90-degrees counter-clockwise, making the bottom of the preview the gripper edge.
Now, this seems to be fixed by simply choosing the opposite rotation on the Setup screen, but I'd rather fix it "correctly" rather than just putting a band-aid on the problem, and would really prefer to understand what in CS4 has changed. Its also easier to train new personnel to always think of the top as the gripper edge, versus telling them that its the top on portrait jobs, but the bottom on landscape jobs.
FYI -- I copied all of my print presets from CS3. And, just to make sure nothing changed in my RIP, I double-checked that Quark and CS3 are unaffected. I'm thinking that there has to be some new orientation adjustment feature or something of the sort that is counteracting my choices, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Hi there,
Just figured this one out. All you have to do is trash the two preference files:
These are normally hidden files, so you will need to set your system to show them.
They will be found in various places depending on the OS, and the version of InDesign.
InDesign Defaults:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application
Data\Adobe\InDesign\<Version #>\<language>\ (Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language
folder is not used).
Windows Vista or Windows 7:
C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\<Version #>\<Language>\ (Note: Prior
to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used).
Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/<USER>/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/<Version
#>/<Language>/(Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used).
InDesign SavedData:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Adobe\InDesign\<Version #>\<Language>\Caches\ (Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the
language folder is not used).
Windows Vista or Windows 7: C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\<Version
#>\<Language>\Caches\ (Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used).
Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/<Language>/
(Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used).

Orientation Problem self-printing books

I am currently experimenting with Aperture 3 with a view to using it as part of my event photography workflow. My plan is to be able to offer montage prints to my clients onsite and I was looking to use Aperture's book-printing module to provide this service. Unfortunately I have hit a snag....
I will be printing to a Mitsubishi CP3800 printer, producing 12x8" prints. I've successfully created a book template with these dimensions, but when I come to print out a page, the orientation is wrong. My preview shows the page in landscape orientation, but it insists on printing it portrait, and therefore getting it completely wrong.
I must be being thick, as I cannot seem to locate any way of changing the orientation at print-time. What am I doing wrong?
Simon

I too am evaluating A3 and ran into a similar problem while trying to print A7 (7x10) in Landscape. Through trial and error I found a way to get the desired results. I first set the orientation to Portrait, set a custom size (10x7 in my case), set the orientation back to Landscape, etc. and printed.

Orientation problem about resize

I want to show only portrait mode and use code below, it works fine to prevent Orientation ROTATED_RIGHT and left.
But their is a problem that the navigation bar still resize when the ROTATED_right and left,
How can I prevent the resize of application when Orientation changed?

Tom,
It's more of a generic issue. Please read my post at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8900849/properly-preventing-orientation-change-in-flex- mobile-app
In general, there are very visible issues when using event.preventDefault() on ORIENTATION_CHANGING - while the stage does not reorient, some UI parts still perform measuring and sizing, such as ViewNavigator and its components (i.e. actionbar). As a result, preventing orientation changing leads to very confusing results and basically leaving the application in undeterministic state, resulting in distorted view.
The solution you've provided doesn't help much, because:
a) turns off autoorienting, which disables the common usecase, where user just turns the device 180 degress - it's still portrait (or landscape), but the stage will not reorient then.
b) setting aspectratio arbitrary sets stage orientation to one specific orientation (either for landscape or portrait) and kicks in the animation - this again is no good for 180 degree rotation.
I've event tried to set stage autoorient = false upon enterning my view, rotating the device physically few times and then setting it back to true when exiting the view - it was always breaking application state miserably, which means there are some underlying bits that require investigation.
This is one of most frustrating issues on AIR for iOS, as it pretty much renders the orientation changes unusable.
I'm using Flex SDK 4.6 with Flash Builder 4.6 on Mac OS X Lion. Testing in debugger (the issue is visible there also) and iPad iOS 1 5.0.1

Orientation problem after the phone is being locked

I have an issue with a game I've been making for Android in Flash. The app orients itself correctly (staying in landscape) up until I lock the phone I'm testing with and then unlock it. When the phone unlocks, the app will then be in portrait mode (it should always be in landscape).
In the descriptor xml file I have set fullscreen to true, aspect ratio to landscape and auto orient to false, but this doesn't seem to affect the app when being locked and unlocked (it works perfectly in any other scenario). It will become portrait again and not move back to landscape when unlocked (so auto orient being false definitely isn't being meddled with).
This issue only triggers when you're running the game and lock the phone and unlock. If for example you were to press the home button so the app is no longer in focus, then lock and unlock and get back into the paused game it will still be in landscape.
I've never had this problem on devices with android 2.3, but after the update to the ICS, I can't find the way to fix it.
Any workarounds?

Sounds like the lock screen is changing your supposedly locked orientation and not setting it back.
With the games I work on we've always left auto-orient on so I've not played with locking the orientation.
You might try setting the orientation when you get your ACTIVATE event like so:
stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.DEFAULT);
The problem I've found is that devices don't all standardize to default = portrait.
So first, when your app starts in landscape mode, read out the stage.orientation string and save it.
Next you might need to listen for the orientation change event and then try to find a way to force the orientation back.
Something like:
stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE, onOrientationChange);
public function onOrientationChange(event:StageOrientationEvent): void {
     isPortraitView = (stage.fullScreenWidth < stage.fullScreenHeight);
     if (isPortraitView) {
          stage.SetOrientation(mySavedOriginalOrientationState);
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Orientation problem on Android Phones

1. I am experiencing the problem I have previously read from other users with their orientation failing to lock in the landscape aspect ratio on android phone tested on Google Nexus and . I have been expriencing this problem with no successful solution.
The solutions I have been finding are related to Flash CS5 and nothing for Flash Builder using Adobe Air.
My Meta settings are as follows in the app.xml file:
        <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
        <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
        <visible>true</visible>
My landscape setting works fine tested on android tablet acer iconia A500 and the Blackberry Placybook.
I want to ensure the same gameplay experience on android phones.
Thank you for any helpful input.

Solved my own problem!
Had this: GameIFace.IGameController().stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.DEFAULT);
Changed it to this: GameIFace.IGameController().stage.setAspectRatio(StageAspectRatio.LANDSCAPE);

Laserjet 1200 and Win 7 - small sheet orientation problem

I am unable to get my HP Laserjet 1200 printer to work correctly with Windows 7 when printing a document narrower than 8.5x11. The problem is that a 4x6 sheet is fed through the center of the printer but win7 wants to print as if the 4x6 sheet were fed through the left side of the printer. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you.

It's almost like a memory problem? Like it doesn't get all the graphics sent to the printer until halfway down the page.
I use this for my small business to make labels for my products. Does anyone know how to help? I tried to call HP, but they are closed, it told me to do the online chat, but that said it didn't recognize my printer. HELP!
