Portrait/Landscape mode switching

I'm still waiting for my imate JASJAM (which is same as HTC
TyTN) to arrive to test this. Just wonder if there is Actionscript
to detect if the display is in Portrait or Landscape mode and if
there is event notification to tell the Flash Lite app that the
display mode has been changed.

I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode. So, there is nothing wrong with your phone, unfortunately they removed a very useful feature. Maybe they will see if enough users want it they will fix it in an update.

Portrait landscape mystery switch

photos in my iPhoto library have mysteriously gone from one orientation to the other.
maybe related background --- This mystery was preceeded by an error when syncing my iPhone that said "the following image was not copied to your iPhone because it can not be viewed..." (something like that). However this specific error photo has not changed orientation and was not recently edited. This error may not be related at all to the portrait landscape mystery switch - but I just mention it to be complete. I tried editing this image that was not copied - to see if some change/edit and save might right it - but it didn't.
the specific portrait landscape mystery switch ---
I sync my iPhone to my iMac almost every day.
Yesterday I noticed a photo on my iPhone had changed orientation. This morning I noticed a few others.
I tried editing them in iPhoto - and I see that the iPhoto preview shows the photo in the "wrong" orientation. When I double-click on the photo to edit it - it appears in the "right" orientation. (This is strange enough!)
On the iphone these same photos are in the "wrong" orientation.
In one album (for example) with 44 photos - about 6 of them have mysteriously switched orientation. In another album with 11 photos - 4 of them have switched orientation.

So what happened to my 15,000+ iPhoto library?
Recent activity - I took photos and video on a vacation - 700+ total. While on vacation I moved them around using a macbook pro. When I got home I merged this library with my main iPhoto library on my iMac. Everything was fine for a few weeks - editing, emailing, mobileme, etc.
The first trouble I noticed was that an error was reported when I would sync my iPhone with my iMac. "photo could not be copied to the iPhone because it can not be viewed" or something like that. It was an old photo that I had edited and it was in the correct orientation.
The next trouble I noticed was photos on my iPhone had mysteriously "fallen over". Photos in portrait had gone to landscape. This was strange and over then next few days - as I looked thru my albums in iPhoto more - I noticed more and more photos mysteriously changed orientation.
Another indicator of trouble was when I selected a photo that had fallen over and clicked "edit" in iPhoto the photo could (I recall some did and some didn't) appear in the correct orientation. In other words - it seemed that the thumbnail did not match the file. I saw this with photos that were in albums that were in sync with my iPhone. The photo on the iPhone was "wrong", the thumbnail was "wrong", click edit and the file photo was in the correct (desired) orientation.
As I was working thru this trouble I had a few photos go missing. The thumbnail would be in iPhoto but clicking on it gave a triangle with the exclaimation point.
I tried rebuilding the iPhoto database. The process stopped. The Activity Monitor showed a process and cpu activity but nothing happened. No halts were reported in the Activity Monitor. The process ran for over 37 hours. When I Forced Quit - clicking on iPhoto opened a new blank library. I tried holding the alt key and navigating to the correct file - no good. Next I deleted the iPhoto library and restored the file from Time Machine. The file opened as expected with the fallen-over photos and all. (I love Time Machine!)
I tried again by repairing file permissions system wide. Then, repairing permissions in the iPhoto database. Checking photos all the same troubles. I tried to rebuild the database using the command + option key press at startup and it stopped again at some point many many hours into the process.
SOLUTION
I deleted the iPhoto database and brought forward the backup from Time Machine. I ran iPhoto Library Manager and built a new iPhoto library. As the 15,000+ photos flashed by - I did notice that a few (hard to keep track really) of the photos that had fallen over were duplicates. A dialog presented the photo in the correct orientation as the existing photo and asked if I wanted to import another (the other photo was in the wrong orientation). I selected "do not import" (so as not to import the duplicate photo in the wrong orientation) and the process continued. iPhoto failed to quit at the end of the process - which scared me for a few minutes. When the process finished I opened the iPhoto library. iPhoto Library Manager also presented a long error message that was cryptic - I was tired - so I clicked thru it.
I ran the iPhoto rebuild database on the file and it completed within a few hours.
This morning I made a couple albums and ran the sync with my iPhone.
All the photos in the few selcted albums are standing-up in the correct orientation. These are photos that were previously fallen over - in the wrong orientation.
Everything looks good right now.
SUGGESTED
- Use Time Machine - it's brought me out of the dark - more than once - flawlessly!!!
- iPhoto Library Manager is a must have
Hope this benefits the community.

[iPhone] How to change Portrait / Landscape mode.

I am tring to change view mode between portrait and landscape mode.
UIViewController has two UIViewes and I want them to be shown as a landscape mode.
I found the property of interfaceOrientation in UIViewcontroller.
but it is readonly.
Is there a way to change view orientation not with info.plist but with code.

You can call setStatusBarOrientation on the UIApplication class and then set your landscape view.

Cp2025n color laserjet manual duplexing side two portrait & landscape transition issue

I regularly print the same documents. Each document has a portrait section, a landscape section, a portrait section then a landscape section, then a portrait section. I manually duplex the job (because I did not buy a duplexer and I am saving trees).
On the first side of the page, everything works great... job runs straight through the printer then I am prompted to insert the half printed pages into tray 1 and push OK on the printer. The first portrait section is printed. The printer stops on the first landscape page and prompts me to load paper into tray 1 (even though it is already there) and push OK again, I do so, and it proceeds till the job switches to portrait mode, prompts me to load paper into tray 1 (even though it is already there) and push OK again, I do so, and it proceeds till the job switches to landscape mode, etc... making me babysit the printer as it prints the second side of each job.
I have multiple different print jobs with the similar layout... portrait, landscape, portrait, landscape, and finishing with portrait. All of them behave the same. The number of pages in the portrait section and landscape section vary by job and within job. The prompt from the printer is always at the transition point between portrait & landscape mode. The printer only stops when printing side two of the page.
I believe I am running the most current drivers and software on my PC for the printer. The update task runs regularly and is not informing me that there is new software available. The only indication of what firmware is running on the printer is this info
Firmware Datecode: 20100512
This strikes me as a printer driver issue... Anybody got any other ideas? Anybody noticed this same issue? Can someone from HP test this out for themselves and verify there is a problem? I have tried searching the forums but every post I have found so far is not on point.
Thanks!

TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

My screen stays in landscape mode watching Netflix and won't switch to portrait like all other video sites (Amazon Prime) does. Any way to fix?

My screen stays in Landscape mode watching Netflix and won't switch to Portrait like other video sites like Amazon Prime does. It is not locked so I don't know why this happening. Any help is appreciated.

I can't swear to this because I do not have the Netflix app, but I believe that the most recent upgrade to the app requires you to watch the movies in landscape mode now and it cannot be changed.

Iphone 6 won't lock into landscape mode, keep switching back to portrait mode

Hi,
Please help me, this has driven me nut, I can't seem to lock my iphone 6 into landscape mode, it will only lock my screen when I am in portrait mode.
For example, if I open safari and turn my phone sideway, safari would turn into landscape mode, and if I want to lock my screen to keep it in landscape mode, it won't do it, as soon as I select that screen lock button, it will turn back to portrait mode and lock my screen up into portrait mode.
What should I do to keep my screen lock at landscape mode??? I have tried this with several apps and the same thing happen, like in Calculator, when I turn it sideway and try to lock it, it goes right back to portrait mode.
I restored my iPhone 6 from my iPhone 5c so just wonder if it has anything to do with that or just some bugs in iOS8???
My current display is in Standard and not Zoom display, and I even try to set it as Zoom and then reset it back to Standard to try to see if it works and it still doesn't work.
HELP ME!!!!

If I'm following correctly, double tap the home button. Then slide the bar on the bottom of your screen to your right where you'll see the ipod icons and and a black icon on the left. If you see an image of a lock on the black icon, it means that you are locked in portrait orientation. Simply tap the icon to unlock it and that should free up landscape mode.

My iPhone no longer switches to landscape mode

my iPhone no longer switches to landscape mode, any suggestions

Make sure it's not in Portrait mode. Double-click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar, go to the left, the leftmost icon should be an empty square. Click it to turn on or off Portrait mode.

Apps won't switch to landscape mode

Many of my apps won't switch to landscape mode (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Yelp). I know that landscape works on my phone because Photos, Messages, Calculator, etc. will switch to landscape mode. Also, I don't have the portrait lock on. The apps used to switch to landscape - what's up? Could it be because of the new update?

Then the next steps in user troubleshooting are restore from backup, and if necessary restore as new. I would also ask, have you checked to make sure that the Orientation Lock is not on? Check in the status bar to see if you see a small padlock with a circular arrow around it next to the battery status. If so, you turn this off from the Control Center. Swipe upwards from off the bottom of the screen, then Orientation Lock is on the top row all the way to the right. White is on, black is off. I have also read that there is a screen zoom setting, either in Display & Brightness or Wallpaper. I don't have an iPhone 6, so I cannot compare. Supposedly in the zoom setting, it can prevent some things from happening, and I believe landscape orientation was one of them.

Documents only print in landscape mode even when portrait is designated. How do I fix this?

Documents will only print in landscape mode when portrait is disignated

How about changing the printer and printing something, then close Firefox and then restart your operating system? See if that helps ....
I am curious why you need two separate versions of the same printer installed. Is one used on a USB connection and the other part of a network configuration or wireless? If both are network or wireless, are they using a different IP address on the network they are on?
The only time I have seen a similar problem with Firefox not wanting to default to the "last used" printer was with a USB inkjet and a network connected laserjet (Brother) - the laserjet would go to "sleep" (energy saving mode) and Firefox would switch to the inkjet every time the laserjet was asleep. That problem was eventually solved when the USB inkjet was replaced by a "network" connected inkjet - still can't understand why that made the difference, though.

IPhone 6 Plus doesn't switch to landscape mode on the home screen

my new iPhone 6+ will not switch to landscape mode when turned horizontally in the homepage. Any thoughts about why this is? It will inindividual apps, but just not on the home page. And no, my screen orientation is not locked in portrait mode. Is anyone else having similar problems or have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

+1
My iPhone 6+ doesn't:
 rotate to landscape mode on the home screen
 display dual-paned email
 display the extended keyboard in landscape mode.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing all three symptoms on their 6+ too?
(It ***** because I bought the horsey 6+ for these features.)
I'm suspicious that it was my restore that did it. Did anyone else experiencing the "no rotate" bug restore from an iTunes backup? I did, and I think that it went afoul. I restored from an iTunes backup (via USB), from an iPhone 5s running the iOS 8 GM Seed.
Does this ring a bell?
I'd rather not wipe it and set it up as a new device as this takes HOURS that I don't have right now, but I suspect that the restore (possibly the iOS 8 GM) is the culprit.
Thanks!

IPhone 6 - I can only send photos via iMessage in landscape mode. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo.

iPhone 6 - I can only send photos in landscape mode via iMessage. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo. Gone so far as erasing all content and settings. Problem persists.

Howdy jackbry,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you haven’t already, you can try resolving the issue with not being able to send iMessages that contain portrait photos by restoring your iPhone to factory settings as shown in this article:

So long,

Since the upgrade to 8.1.2, I can only use "messaging" in landscape mode and not portrait. Anyone else having this problem?

I unable to view or type messages vertical or portrait mode...it appears to be locked in horizontal or landscape mode. Any suggestions?

What user troubleshooting have you tried? User steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. There is no lock for the iPhone in Landscape mode, so I believe a reset should help. Also, double-tap the home button and bring up the multi-tasking bar, find the Messages app and then swipe upwards on the app thumbnail to force it closed.

Alas, this did not help me. I don't have an Orientation Button or any Icon that would help in this endeavor. At the bottom of my Iphone 4s, there are 3 icons: Phone, Mail and Safari. That's it. I can't get those icons to move.
What is it you're trying to do? If you're looking for orientation lock in iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of your phone to access control center. Orientation lock is the top right icon.
