Rotation is locked, what to do?

Why my screen doesn't rotate anymore when I rotate the iPad? Can some1 help? Thanks a lot

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try 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.

  • Just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up.  the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if the settings are wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.

    Good luck hope it works.

  • HT1212 my ipad is locked and saying connect to itunes and im trying to connect it but its saying you need to type the passcode in but i cant because its still saying its locked what do i do

    my ipad is locked and its saying connect to itunes which i have done and on itunes its saying ipad can not connect because its got a passcode but i cant type the pass code in because its locked what do i do

    You need to follow the instructions in the second half of that page
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    So you need to click on the 'If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer' heading and follow the instructions underneath it

  • 27" iMac was stolen, now returned but has been locked what do I do?

    My 27' iMac was stolen, now returned but has been locked what do I do? It was purchased in December of 2011, they nust have set up icloud account to lock it. How do I get around this? Apple should have my serial number of this computer matching my account somewhere right?

    What do you mean by 'locked'. Is it the admin password that you don't know or did they set a firmware password?

    Hi I bought an iPhone from uk and now I'm in Cyprus and it's lock, what can I do?

    Contact the carrier in the UK that the phone is locked to and put in an unlock request.
    This is the only thing that you can do and the carrier to which the phone is locked to are the only ones that can unlock the phone for you - nobody else can.
    Contact the UK carrier.

  • At the Apple WWDC 2012 when they announced the new MacBook Pro, the used something to rotate it. What was it?

    At the Apple WWDC 2012 when they announced the new MacBook Pro, the used something to rotate it. What was it?

    Hello Sam,
    strangely enough, it went away by itself, and until now, it did not come back. I also believe it must be soms sort of graphic card connection failure or something like that, it`s very strange though. I also did let it know to the apple store, and explained it, and they were willing to repair it, but now everything is ok, so it has no meaning to go to the apple store, maybe for a checkup, that would be interesting maybe.
    So, I would suggest to keep on using your computer for a couple of days, and shut it down and restart it as often as possible. And when it has not dissapeared after 3 or 4 days, then it`s good I think to go to the apple store.
    If you can post here how it goes or how it went, would be nice, and if there is anything more I can help you with, let me know, kindly, Steven

  • The screen rotation is locked... not sure how to get that unlocked?!

    Hello, the screen rotation is locked on my ipod touch. I have no idea how it got that way and can not find how to turn it off.  Please help!

    Double click on the home button to open the multitask bar, swipe to the right until you see the play controls for music, right next to it is the Orientaion lock icon. Tap on it to disable it, close the multitask bar again by clicking the home button.
